This Is What I Did All Day

I spent half the day working on this. It takes about 10 minutes to actually do the colors in photoshop, but hours to get all the products loaded and organized in cafepress. My eyes and back are killing me. There must be a better way that I'm not seeing on the cafepress website. Gah. It took FOR-EV-ER. But I'm happy with what I accomplished.

Check out the awesome new colors I have in my store!!




I'm hoping that the new colors and tweaked design will bring in more customers.

And if you're interested, you can sign up for my newsletter. I only send one every 5 or 6 months, if that. So you won't have to worry about me spamming you! Just enter your email address on my shop home page. Click the blinkie thing below :)



Hooray for me. Now I must go to bed.

Modeling The Goods!

Here's my friend Tammy modeling the foodie skull t-shirt that she purchased from my cafepress store. When she sent this to me today, I could hardly contain my joy. Seriously...I wept a little. It's just a little overwhelming seeing your design come to life and proudly worn by someone! I think the shirt looks awesome, the design looks awesome, and I'm so thankful for friends who support me and my big ideas.

For reference, Tammy is wearing the Womens Foodie Skull Dark T-Shirt in a 2X. She says the fit and feel of the shirt are great...and I believe her :)

So, yeah...this is a very proud moment for me. It might not seem like a big deal to most, but to me, it's overwhelming. I'm very proud of myself, for sure.

OMG! I'm Featured!

OMG! I'm in the "featured products" section under "food and drinks" gifts on cafepress!! Check it out!



My design is being featured right this minute! It'll probably change in 30 seconds, but this is SO COOL!! I think i should probably upgrade soon. I just wish it weren't so expensive.

Here's my store, one more time.

Blatant Self Promotion

This weekend I decided to open a cafepress.com web store. I designed a cute skull and crossbones type of design, only instead of the bones, I used cutlery. It's supposed to appeal to foodies and food lovers of all kinds. I did the design entirely in Illustrator and it took me about two days (because I'm a perfectionist and kept adding and subtracing the most minute details). I had three designs done before finally settling on this one:



I love it, and it looks like three other people like it, too. Because I've had three orders for my stuff since Sunday. Woot! Here are some of the things in my cafepress store:


The buttons and magnets are in black, but I also have them in white if you're interested as well. If I sell a couple more items, I'll be able to upgrade to a paid account and then offer more items and more designs. But for now, this is what I've got.

So, yeah. If you're looking for an unusual and created-with-love holiday gift, look no further! My Cafepress Store!
