Opening Up Shop

My boss at work showed an unusual amount of coolness this morning, and he commissioned me to make a Palin support t-shirt that he would buy for any of the ladies at work who wanted one.

Apparently he has become quite enamored with Mrs. Palin and her campaign as Veep. So, I promptly set my design skills to work and came up with a lovely shirt design:
Full of femininity and complete with the GOP elephant.

I have been putting off opening up a Cafepress shop for quite some time, although I could use a place to put my design skills to work. So, I introduce you to my new shop Random Rags.

The only design I have up right now is the Palin design, but I hope to be adding some other kinds of shirts and memorabilia in the future.

Note to Self: I kept the markup really low in hopes that people would be willing to buy. Consider anything you purchase to be a donation to the MJ's School Debt Fund.

Congrats on the store and the cute shirt! Alas, I will not be buying one, as I'm swinging for the other team in this election. But it is really cute and I can't wait to see your other designs.

That's very cute with the huge Palin and the tiny McCain. ;)

Aubrey - To each their own dear. I don't particularly enjoy either party, but I think Palin is a firecracker.

PP - Well, Palin has trumped both McCain and Obama in recent polls. It's only fitting she have the bigger name :)

Aww, the design, especailly the color pink is really nice! I will be definitely getting one if you design something else in the future since I'm not rooting for the big elephant:) But I think Palin is pretty lady...

Yeah, what Peter said! Pretty font too!

DEL said...

Very cool! Let us know when you get some more designs up (esp. anything cop related!)

I love the design! And I'm happy you posted this because I'd never heard of CafePress until your post. I think it might be something my husband could use for a business he wants to dabble in. Thanks!

I'm still not sure about Palin...sure, she has guts, but I'm not sure about some things...I'm holding out on judgement for a few minutes.

Maki - Of course you can link me! That would be greeeaat!

Teeni - Thanks!

del - No problem. I know there will be some cop related stuff in the future. Me and my LEO are working on that as we speak.

KM - Oh yeah! And it's really easy to set up. Glad I could be of help :)

CM - Yeah I sent you an email back. I completely understand your trepidation.
