Hello and Happy Holidays Everyone,

I have just spent the past couple of weeks reworking my entire merchandise shop. I have approximately 200 handmade designs on literally hundreds of different products for sale this holiday season!

My shop is now divided into several categories for your convenience. Once entering a category you will see a nicely sized thumbnail of each design available for that category. This will help you browse more easily!! Afterall, who wants to waste time looking at designs that do not interest you.

If you should see something that you are interested in, but is not on the product that you want, please email me from the shop. I will quickly assist you!

I am adding new merchandise all the time, a few a day, for this month. Should you want something personalized, please email me and I will get it done for you asap, with no extra charge! The same goes for any minor design change you may want.

I hope that you are all blessed this holiday season. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I look forward to providing some lovely gifts for you and yours this year!

P.S.

For those of you who like your designs a bit left of center, check out my sister site called HauntedTees. There is a big selection of merchandise there as well. Ghosts, Witches, Aliens, etc. For your convenience, there is a link to this shop on my original shop!

Hi jaded...

I hope you don't mind that I added a dash to your link so that it worked correctly.

Thank you kguske, but this store does not have the hyphen in the name. My main website does, but not this shop. I do appreciate your looking out for me though!

Strange - when I first clicked, it didn't work. When I added the dash, it did. Now the link without the dash works...(actually, they both work, at least initially).

Anyway...keep up the good work!

Jaded, the site looks great. Have you been on CafePress long? Do you have the standard shop or the premium one? Did you go through a long evaluation process in terms of using this solution? Did you consider anything like Zencart instead?

Hello fkelly, thank you!

I have been using cafepress since about 2003. I have two premium shops. They only cost 6.99/month, it is well worth that. I did check many, many different solutions, for about two months. I found this to be the best "fit" for me. There are constantly new products and improvements. There is a great ease for me with this solution. I can be very creative, earn some extra money, and not have the hastles associated with most solutions.

You do have to spend the hours setting it up correctly, trying to make it SEO friendly, making sure to keyword your designs. You have to fill in all of the information for the titles and descriptions, etc. The little things make a big difference when you want people to find your merchandise. If you get lazy with it, you get lazy results. The key is to always keep fresh content.

If you have any further questions, let me know!
