Still at it

I have yet to figure out how to set it up for followers can do so through their e mail.  I see other blogs that have it and mine says that I do, but my followers say "No".  So, if you are reading this and can tell me what I am doing wrong, please leave me a comment.
I haven't made any new items for my shop lately.  I am having a creative block.  Well, that isn't exactly it.  I have ideas but, can't seem to get them to flow like they should.  I think another part of it is that sales are so slow right now.  I was hoping to get a few custom orders for "Thank You" cards from graduates.  Do people even send Thank You cards anymore?  Or do they just send a generic mass e mail or FB post to thank people?  I would be very unhappy if I spent my time and money picking out a gift and getting it to that person and then receive a e mail or FB Thank You that was sent to everyone else.
I remember when I graduated from high school and college both, I sat down and hand wrote Thank You cards to everyone who sent me or brought me a gift no matter how large or small.  Does anyone still do this?  Or am I wasting my time making Thank You cards?  Something for me to consider.
If I can ever get enough money in my PayPal, I have plans to add another type of art to my shop.  But, I will have to wait until I can afford to get supplies and then practice first.  I have so many artsy things I want to try and each one is a little more expensive than the one before it.
