Why I Don’t Use a Traditional Online Store

You may have noticed there’s no “Buy Now” button here. That’s on purpose.

I used to offer instant downloads through Google Drive and then Microsoft 365, but I wasn’t thrilled with the setup. Google Drive, although free, proved to have major security issues and I didn’t like endlessly payments to Microsoft. These days, most software is moving to a subscription model—you don’t really buy it anymore, you just keep paying to rent it. That doesn’t sit well with me. I’d rather own what I use—just like I prefer a real book I can hold, rather than a file I might lose access to.

So I’ve stepped away from subscription-based software and automated file-delivery systems. Now I handle orders directly.

Now, if you’re interested in a textblock, just send me a message. I’ll invoice you through PayPal, and once it’s paid, I’ll email the files directly—formatted and ready to print and fold, with instructions included. It’s slower than instant downloads, but it works. And it keeps things personal, straightforward, and in line with the kind of work I love doing.

Thank you for your patience—and your shared love of craft.
