Site Revamp UPDATE (again!)

Hello Gang!

It's time to start ordering to be in time for Christmas labels and cards you'll be mailing and gifts like totebags that won't be on the new site right away; we're delayed with the launch again! (Quit laughing!) Does NASA have it this bad with their launches?? And they go to the moon!

Just pretend I never told you anything about a new site! Then you'll be pleasantly suprised when it happens! :)


Naw, we're almost there, but some features are not working the way we want them to and will cause too much confusion. We want this site to be even easier to use, not harder! So, our awesome team of programmers are fine tuning things like being able to add hats to your characters and then change the hat colors, all live, for you to see as you're doing it!! What a nice change that will be from the black and white characters, right?

So, for those who have been patiently waiting, you get my sincerest apologies and gratitude, but, if you've ever had contractors building a house for you, this is the situation we're in. :) And, even with all the delays, we are still launching with just TWO products - labels and cards - so if you need totebags, bag tags, tshirts, and any other stationery item in time for Christmas gifts, it's even more important you not wait for the new site.

I promise one thing. The wait is worth it! I LOVE the new site, it's everything you guys have ever asked for, and more! I've got a fun offer and announcement to follow. Stay tuned! Thanks again for putting up with our craziness. :)

Newly revamped site launch UDPATE!

Well gang, it was a year ago, then, 2 months ago, then 2 weeks ago, and then it came down to TODAY! And...it's not ready yet...:) We're expecting it to be next Monday or Tuesday instead, so it looks like we're putting the balloons away again!

We're really close - final edit stage, testing bugs, etc. The problem is, we need a few more days, but our programmers won't be working Thursday or Friday because of Thanksgiving. We don't want to launch on Wednesday in case there are site issues, and there won't be anyone to help you.

Now, since the current site is fully functional, if you are ordering from outside of the USA, I don't want you to wait if you're getting nervous and want to order labels or cards for Christmas now. You can always use the new site another time, or at least check it out and play with it when it launches!

AND, for all, if you want anything other than labels or cards in time for Christmas, you may want to go ahead and order on the current site too. In order to get the revamp live we will be opening with just those two items to start with. Totebags, the rest of the stationery, and all the rest of the product lineup will be added daily immediately afterwards, one by one.

Now, keep in mind, we aren't going to run out of anything, since they're custom printed! Wait as long as you feel comfortable with, we'll help by offering everyone 1 business day processing on the new site. But, if you like to order early for the holidays, we don't want to stress you out. We'll still be here the next time around!

Whether you wait or not, with our appreciation for your support, and being blog subscribers, Facebook Fans and Twitter Followers, you are each getting a pack of 60 matching gift labels when you purchase your holiday labels, through the end of the year! Please mention this offer in the cart's special request box, it CAN be combined with other offers.

So, that's my update. Not what I had hoped, but, we're almost there! We had planned for September, when time wouldn't be so critical, and are so sorry we couldn't finish on time. You have all been so patient, and I know...ANXIOUS, too! :) So are we, believe me! I tell you, when you see the site, you'll know why it's taking so long. You are going to have so much fun, and it will be SO much easier to shop and reorder, THAT we absolutely guarantee!

Thank you all for your continued support. Guess what I'm about to say? Yes, you know it. We have the best customers in the universe!!! :)
