it's been a while

Ok so i know it i has been a while since i posted regularly on here - but i have been really busy....i was travelling abroad going to school full time and opening a whole slew of shops. my newest shops are www.cafepress.com/sportygirls - a shop for girls who love to play sports & www.cafepress.com/whoilove which is a spurr off of another shop. sporty girls was just an idea i had when i got a special request email from a parent about one of my designs...and realized the of my sports designs my pink ones seem to sell well - so i decided to run with it!!! who i love is more i love ____ designs....i have letters A - C loaded already and i am working on letters one at a time i hope ot have them all up by the end of the year. Currently my goal is to get 250 designs a week loaded all summer - so i will try to keep you up to date on the numbers....i have about 125 this week but it is friday already so i better get back to working. I am going to try to stop in every day and post the number of designs i got uploaded for the day so i can track myself a little better!!!


PS my friend just opened a new shop www.informedgear.com

Design of the Day

check out this other great blog i started

Design of the Day

new look

ok so i decided to add some little tiles on the right side bar of this blog showcasing sound of my favorite designs - i have 10 of them up there now - i may try to get some more up later - and i will change them out from time to time - but i thought it might be a greatplace to feature some designs

also i decided to offer a selection of my designs as a lower price- with my logo on the back - so if you are looking for a designs - and want to save a few bucks - take a look - if you dont mind the shirt having a back logo then you can save some big bucks on there!!

Uggghhhhh we are about to be hit with aa hurricane there are some nasty sounding winds out there - i can feel it coming thru my air condition - this sucks im glady i kept my winter blankets out and did not put them in the attic like everyone else in the house - it is cold in here!!!
