Not much new to report today. Got a $5 donation, a $1 donation, & 2 $2 donations. YAY! Won't pay for any classes, but every little bit is gonna add up eventually! My friend Scott took over my site & it looks great. David did such an awesome job getting it started. Where would I be without my awesome friends? Someone bought a golf shirt today. I get SOOOO happy & excited when I see that someone has bought a Cassie item.

Amber is working on new designs. We still have to get the transparent one done for black clothing, but we are also coming up with a sporty design & a more macho design (will prolly be the same as the sporty design, but maybe in different colors for the boys).

Nothing to report today. Sent out a bunch of emails to trusted friends, telling about the site. I explained that it was in a very basic form. I contacted a friend from Europe, hoping he'd tell his friends back there, a friend from South Africa, hoping he'd tell his friends back there, & a friend who is visiting & eventually moving to Germany, hoping she can spread the word over there. This needs to go international.

Trying to figure out all this graphics stuff. Amber is my graphics "go-to" gal. I don't know how to do it in the first place, but I don't have the programs to do it, either. I got a cheap version of Microsoft Publisher (what she uses), but I will still have to figure out how to design stuff, if it even works decently. Publisher is soooo expensive.

I am trying to learn how to make something for a black or dark background. All the graphics we have on Cafe Press right now are for white backgrounds. She's prolly gonna be the one to do it, but dangit, I am sure gonna try to figure it out. I have Photoshop Elements, & they give a tutorial on how to do it in that program, so I'm going to try tomorrow, since I have Xmas Day off to sit around & do nothing (thank you Jesus!). Might as well try to be productive.

We also need to come up with some "macho" graphics....maybe the exact same design, but in black. The eyes might be too "sissy la-la" for some men, too, but that just might be too bad. The eyes are kinda my thing. And let's face it...any REAL man would be proud to wear pink. :-)

Well, there hasn't been much to blog about yet. The site JUST got up to a decent degree on Friday. I made one sale today, that made me abundantly happy! I signed up to get a text when I sell something, & man, when I got that text, I was sooooo excited! It's not like I am making any huge profit. $3 of every item sold go to the sharingadream.com fund. That's not a whopping profit, & that's not money that goes into my pocket to play with, either. That's money towards the dream. What excites me is the thought of people wearing something to publicize my site. The thought of people walking around everywhere with a Cassie logo item....that makes me smile ear to ear.

I expect this to all be very slow going at first.

Testing!

Just testing out my new blog! Testing....one, two, three, four....testing!
