It's a beautiful day and time to get focusing on updating and refreshing products for the upcoming holiday season. Yup, I'm talking Christmas, it's not that far off. With inflation and the slowed down supply chain it's a good idea to have your items updated and ready to go as people may be shopping early to avoid missing out and being disappointed when an item is no longer available. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Depending what you are selling or offering you'll want to create attractive marketing to draw your customers in. Make sure your SEO is up to date and market in as many places and ways that are applicable to your business. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Obviously not everyone is interested in the product or idea your selling but you can start with a small market of people that you know will benefit from your product. Find sites or opportunities to market to those who will greatly appreciate what your are offering. I know it's not easy and it takes lots of trial and error. Just be honest and keep it real. Find the best marketing channel for you, what works for one may not work for another. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Be sure your site is user friendly and easy for customers to navigate and make that purchase. Making your products look the best they can and even showing someone using it in various ways can also attract more customers. Keep working hard and your business will grow.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Wishing you a fabulous and successful holiday season for your business. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here are some of the latest products I've been designing lately. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/collections/pickleball_paddle_sport-119016940279720318" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="213" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho0UfCl0Ng7XehGu8S90TslWCrQnq8UghHyjX8Dv-j40ZfxmAnVnKzDjjPS2wB-ljn6py7OHqmhmTQU2H5Mo42yxR_blXDu_3ca8QTo28iX6FeMe7lhj7siywJRtO-JQrBjlICfEz6xWjG7JU1TavDPywbSW_LWTsPeHXQ0XlJ3oceyXKjzNZ1Wwx_Bw/s320/pickleball_paddle_sport_119016940279720318-r_zruem_s0lpv_425.jpg" width="160" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/collections/pickleball_paddle_sport-119016940279720318" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/collections/pickleball_paddle_sport-119016940279720318" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">Pickleball Paddles</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/collections/pickleball_paddle_sport-119016940279720318" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">Various designs and monogram paddles ready to be personalized. </span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/collections/pickleball_paddle_sport-119016940279720318" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">This game is taking off all around the world.</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/collections/birthday_photo_cards-119031832709839234" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="213" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhD59BG9jydOpu3c83sytFUBGDaDeSmHbNFF13XgzUEsPuJSkoJkHj-pN2Z3AyleHH3BVH50l5FIWbokXGfKaPIsTHXB338_vivafa3NTOVOS8fl0vQtoXSFhwTvsniX8B1f7g30xRQ3j-ysFWRG9YU87ChnyphERKJK16wedqTs_V4xVt0_urJKezyg/s320/birthday_photo_cards_119031832709839234-r_zruem_s0uxq_425.jpg" width="160" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/collections/birthday_photo_cards-119031832709839234" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">Add your own special photos to personalize a birthday card. </span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/collections/birthday_photo_cards-119031832709839234" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">For friends, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. </span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/collections/all_about_the_bags-119235771310305221" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="213" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNKjcH7shiC19u1Z6XnhhS_80Um97izCXrCpfMn2ENEl-26E15vZg2CFVcFb2RoEePznCVx0Cl39nsa-zeZpQ2jHnZ1rVh91HEc4dFVCA0DK6ghKixvkNOPh3p6JtPTqqELIAy3uN3xph3aY5B_Y-E8qODGX9dQJYUWjThDkRLVQCD_-5tCouW2cUtHQ/s320/all_about_the_bags_119235771310305221-r_zruem_sezsu_425.jpg" width="160" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/collections/all_about_the_bags-119235771310305221" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">It's all about the bags!

It's hot here today temperature says 34 but it feels even hotter. If you are blessed to be in an air conditioned home or work place that is the best place to be. Maintaining a cool body temperature is important when the heat is upon us. Drink plenty of fluids throughout your day even if you don't feel thirsty because your body needs the hydration. Speaking of that I should go grab a glass of cold sparkling water, (she runs upstairs to get one) </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Other ways to stay cool are too have cold baths or showers throughout the day. If that is not possible for you then applying a wet cold cloth to your forehead any time you feel too warm can help keep your body temperature down as well. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you have to go outside or in a car bring water with you and try to go out early in the day when it's not quite as hot or later in the evening when it's cooled down some. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you live near or have access to a beach, ocean or a pool now is the time to take advantage of these places. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Stay tuned in to local health and safety updates in your community and surrounding areas. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A little ice cream or a popsicle never hurts either! Just a few thoughts... </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here are a few designs to make you feel cooler... thanks for visiting my shop and checking them out! </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.ca/exploration_in_kayak_water_bottle-256430424471703551" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="325" data-original-width="325" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdY-yERuRFD4eeZg3oz0WPy26n-MRRUA7n_ZXTETQKeU_yVqnIe00IO0vrT-UWUDvWYI7JeFMZv20lqzP5klBmZp87OeD9-xV-tEF83FsbsCDya3IGm8wFdrrHzRssVjE2EdPUBb2N7Tw7hKgFdHt5dUl1FLNezvu97b0Odtk2fgS3QM9UNRcFTFnSIw/s320/exploration_in_kayak_water_bottle-r5f1fca92929a4844b4069d77a7c43783_zs6t0_1024.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.ca/just_gotta_swim_slogan_t_shirt-235987157684086420" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="325" data-original-width="325" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA68OJieYfEzeHacNdIJLQleyAv71zwlIYdKY2LUYJKJkNMJMitjznas-zA_9fsC64_PwCT6VdhQHEI55ScDO3fEQdD0Nn1Ji6_nSUcpY9vnQCm_n5Ky8fx1F1EEy0E1XJ9xvhVW4t2tbg-zxlfOT4iJjDnexoR09_c0papLQ-Z7sfv-E3Qxxseeic0w/s320/just_gotta_swim_slogan_t_shirt-rc883ab23c7da405c8d2cbc0c72de84ca_k2gr0_1024.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.ca/ocean_waves_and_beach_car_mat-256234102750041410?view=113480098488655470" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="325" data-original-width="325" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl_xYofd_za8RQv79JdI7iPuRg2KrGlTvB0xmhZCzJAfJQZ2OHJ9TIYRlmu9vxTPsW4ShIMfz3OobPlCpNo9I0yGsSIfsZZXA9vuQtDzhuy31W0rCl4AXo9v1EAKz3eI2qp7qBgQBuOFe0WE5vkUE1Z27oWiBx9azvfS_-Yt-osFuwPqgQxnYd3U-8dQ/s320/ocean_waves_and_beach_car_mat-rbfee8ce5a9a04399a946e420a6da8642_zxf0m_1024.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.ca/ripples_on_the_water_postcard-239845866113029734" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="325" data-original-width="325" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiywIr-iWl-Euzd8IH23_nZMNFLsUa86Owrs7UhW-rGcBe4uc1PGMgBS-oMQD5FEzzEvD9whXV4mHEqMDt4-gSi6uhug722BHoBWS4B5GC1fA2PAyp2w5XFlUux9phbFTRRmR2-hqGguao0uRrOdVFi9MmLHVWqX-VMsXLlUVJdw2A-Z12VOTzR6RSFNQ/s320/ripples_on_the_water_postcard-r6afad18e8476495a8bd3cfd805c6e9c9_ucbjp_1024.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p>Designs by Shellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00636164176537983907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6206132614029151540.post-48462410440503416692022-07-02T13:33:00.006-07:002022-07-04T18:16:45.264-07:00Biking On Prince Edward Island<p><span style="font-size: large;"> June is a great month to bike on Prince Edward Island. The weather is not too hot and it's not busy yet. When you cycle from town to town along the Confederation Trail and along country roads you really get a great scenic tour. The fun is not only cycling freely but stumbling upon fishing villages, riding along the Atlantic ocean, stopping at beaches and riding into towns. That's what I just experienced for the first time. Everyone should get to Eastern Canada at least once in their life time. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4kQs7K4gWUE5yXfunsf-aPl4qEfB144WOpus2hA1dXuowg1_rt1t4MszLbUbi4PREnGGHq0I8Zy7h_iCe_FPz20gnuVg-GudGILPm8JTuNcHqW9F8-itdi6HpQ4MmvAEMFLuYyfW5rrxCXlqOeknGFVUTIXQoPcb_KCabohiUzWBaexBsN1WOYXE-cA/s325/montague_prince_edward_island_postcard-r9c24db7aeb9942e0b2488d9e4b47bdf6_ucbjp_1024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I know some people who would never wear a t-shirt in public let alone in their own home. There are those who love a good classic plain white or black t-shirt and then those who want to show their own individual style by wearing a t-shirt that is branded or says something about their personality.

Sometimes you just have to try new things. I recently opened another online shop as I have been thinking about doing this for awhile now but kept putting it off as I knew there would be a lot of work involved. </span></i></b></p><p><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Maybe you've heard of the <a href="https://www.redbubble.com/people/Designsbyshell/shop?asc=u" target="_blank">Redbubble</a> platform that is also a print on demand site. This is where I decided to open my 2nd store after learning a little more about it. The platform is quite easy to navigate and they offer useful items such as apparel for adults and children, wall art, stationary and office items as well as products that are useful in the home. </span></i></b></p><p><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">The line up of products offers some different items that Zazzle doesn't have which makes the designing exciting for me. It's always fun to create and see what a new design will look like on a new item. </span></i></b></p><p><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Drop by my shop for a browse around. I'm creating new patterns and designs daily so hope to have a growing stock in no time. </span></i></b></p><p><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Here are a few items form <a href="https://www.redbubble.com/people/Designsbyshell/shop?asc=u">Designsbyshell at Redbubble</a> </span></i></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span><b><i><span style="font-size: large;"></span></i></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Everyone is creative in one way or another. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Creativity has loads of benefits, here are a few. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- it helps boost your immune system (who doesn't need that) feel good hormones</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- a boost for your mental health</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- helps you embrace change and deal with uncertainty </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- helps you adapt your thinking to accept new ideas</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- helps you become a better problem solver </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A well known definition of it is "Creativity is the production of something new and valuable" </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">That's pretty open for whatever it is you might be creating...</span></p><p><span style="color: #351c75;

Time to jump on board and get creative again and add some fresh designs to these new products. </i> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>I hope this year will bring about some fresh new ideas and inspiration for your business as well as mine. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Change is inevitable with the state of the world right now. There are so many more shops and services that have gone online now due to the variants and what's going on around us. For stores that are strictly on-line this means more competition and may mean that our products and services may be buried in the sea of competitors seeking customers. Due to the pandemic over the past couple of years it's pushed many folks who didn't normally shop online to embrace it and get more comfortable with it. They now realize how convenient and accessible shopping from home has become. That's good as long as we can get our products seen and increase our customer base. Keep working hard and find the places that you can market your type of business and where you can find the people that might be interested in your particular products and services. </i></span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Individual drink pouches are now offered at Zazzle. These are great for companies to rebrand and sell. They can be used for events, wedding favors and even great gift basket fillers. Here are a few I've designed. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/raining_down_coffee_drink_mix-256182938583994547?view=113149270151088420" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="325" data-original-width="325" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjjECpljUras0DL_xQ25CMFGhZceARnLWcc-b83_sGniArbHhLGTCymJx-b1yvWEUUn_c-dGFT7ysBXbmBEkjonHO2LNKvFu-CdbX9l2e1xXczbA4-zOLIwhm6YJ3_AwWXNd0HRW-MY3WtxDtN3njFOU74Tq7ZnDyrB1le2vHHIIn9MeGz3GKzzT5enaA=s320" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/floral_colorful_mug_design_coffee_drink_mix-256717157901845900" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="325" data-original-width="325" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi9El5HU3CgHEDBx8LCgChCsJ_y1u5RxBMxC-s1BqxsigbLKsH4LbyfI6NFimFiT-2biBA57yVc6I4K2GmyuY_N07hu2hG6w4mo1vxjGjbEP8IvfQL4jfEd4EpkYtX3e5mil-IKAMgLS_GM3fhK9Gl58GetJ5eH7KmIk9SgezmQoggRYq60gfUznlofTw=s320" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/elegant_white_hydrangeas_drink_mix-256138595900570478" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="325" data-original-width="325" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgE2BNDH4cu6ohJoPfrVfwv7Rb0l_5O2Avht5a-I8WCSiCXpwSOlx1r5efrE-w_EmDynJtHCv_twA8PX8sc_VXDaVv6B-UmjED1EpjvGd6tn3fn2YiBpj7F1tJw3xKTQPQzNT3ElwcLvIlSQUR1I-sx_Hfn5z_I0q3T3356ClynpEmNz_z7yjleDEfdmQ=s320" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Hershey Miniature Kisses are another new item Zazzle is now selling.

June Foray also did the voice of Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Frosty Returns wasn't really a sequel as it wasn't produced by Rankin and Bass.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Frosty the Snowman song was popular long before the tv special was introduced. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There is a few fun facts that you may not have been aware of. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I enjoy drawing snowmen in various situations, positions etc. Here I'll share a few of my designs on products that can be purchased. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

If you have an online business like mine you may be noticing it's extremely difficult these days to get consistent good traffic to your site. I've learned that promotion without visibility is pretty pointless. Visibility is key in having your pages or website seen. In order to have regular visitors and customers your store needs to be found in the haystack of websites out there. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Traffic is what is required in order to show and sell products and services. If no one sees your blog posts or store advertising that likely means little or no traffic and likely low or no sales. It takes a lot of promotion to have consistent views and readers turned customers on your posts. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>The attention span today is very short and people are generally flipping to the next thing in ten seconds or less. This doesn't leave much time to entice people to stay on your site. That means we have to work pretty hard to get views. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Creating a checklist for promoting each blog or site you want to share can be helpful. It's a good reminder so you don't miss things you want to promote especially if your promoting items or services for a certain season. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Focusing on a couple of strategies rather than getting overwhelmed with too many is a good idea. Quality over quantity. The old adage is still viable, 'less is more'! </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Here is a short list of things that can help. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Free online marketing such as Twitter, FB business, LinkedIn, Instagram are a few that come to mind. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Paid online marketing - Google Adwords, paid ads, article writing, etc.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Article Submission sites can help as you can add a description of your business in the bio section. You can add your website or blog link. Using article sites helps generate leads for your business. They can also help to improve your online presence in search engines. Here is a small list of platforms you can submit articles to.</i></span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: large;"><i> sites.google.com</i></span><i style="font-size: x-large;"> </i></li><li><i style="font-size: x-large;">Tumblr.com </i></li><li><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Articleswrap </i></span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>There are lots of sites you can google to find appropriate places to submit your posts to. Keep promoting your blog posts and articles to increase traffic and grow your business. This is definitely something we have to stay on top of daily. Thanks for stopping by.

I know I do! </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Mike McCardell a reporter for CTV News who shares human interest stories about the lives of people who live or once lived in the Vancouver area. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>He was interviewing a gentleman recently he called the Soda Man. A 70 year old man that sells soda and water from a cart to passersby on the corner of Commercial Street and Broadway. He sets up his cart filled with sodas in a variety of flavors and cold bottles of water. The man said he does this pretty well all year long even in the colder winter months. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>He makes friends with his customers and rarely skips a day of work. He said being there makes him happy and for him is not so much about the money though he makes enough to fill his gas tank, he told Mike. He shared that once he retired he didn't want to just stay home and do nothing. This makes him feel really good he said.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>I'm sure he is making others feel good too. People helping people, we need more of this in the world. It shows that it doesn't matter how old you are as you can still make a difference and have a meaningful, fulfilling life. Small things can have big benefits and impacts. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>We can learn from inspirational people like the soda man and inspiring stories like his as they can nurture our minds, help us relate to humanity and give us fresh insight into possibilities that are out there. You never know when that simple act of kindness, small gesture or word will bring a blessing, touch someone deeply or be an inspiration for another. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Here is the link to the interview of the Soda Man by Mike McCardell of CTV News. </i></span><a href=" https://bc.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2277822&jwsource=cl" target="_blank"> https://bc.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2277822&jwsource=cl</a> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Enjoy!</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Many people have had this unwanted experience.</span> </i></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>With online shopping now being available world wide it is likely that people will run into more challenges finding reputable shops and sites that offer quality apparel and products. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>There are certainly fake store fronts and shops offering low budget items. They showcase great looking products online but send you lesser quality items that are poorly made. This can definitely be discouraging and a waste of time and money.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>This happened to me once when I ordered from a store I was less familiar with. I purchased a gift for a friend that I had high hopes for and it turned out to be made of very cheap plastic, needless to say I wasn't very impressed and sent it back, though I had to pay return shipping. I was disappointed and it was a big inconvenience.</i></span></p><p><i><span style="font-size: large;">On that note I want to let you know that <a href="https://www.zazzle.com/?rf=238428971485751153">Zazzle</a> is a legit </span><span style="font-size: large;">E-retailer offering an online platform where people can create or customize products for gifts or to sell. This company started in 1999 and launched their website in 2005. I opened my shop <a href="https://www.zazzle.com/store/seashell2">Designs by Shell</a> on Zazzle at the end of 2009. </span></i></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Zazzle uses cutting edge technology for easy use of designing clothing, paper products, gift items and much more. They have millions of designers, over 150 product makers and millions of customers from around the world. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Zazzle works with many name brands from Disney to Marvel and several more. If Zazzle wasn't a legitimate company they would not be able to sell so many well known brands as they need permission to do so. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Shopping at Zazzle one can expect competitive pricing on products and services that they offer. Zazzle offers quality products and top notch printing. This is a company that you should feel confident purchasing from. Should an issue arise the company attempts to resolve it in a timely manner. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>I've purchased calendars, cards, mugs and various other items over the years and have been very pleased with the quality of printing and the items themselves. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>I'm working to add new designs at <a href=" https://www.zazzle.com/store/seashell2." target="_blank">Designs by Shell</a> on a regular basis and would be pleased to have you drop by. You never know what you might find perhaps a gift for someone or something for yourself. Hope you enjoy the shop! </i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvYwvlRwfdVj7fkUey5PXSje5UKEPwYqO9UoCHMi-qVW-v98ul0-2OJItOSaeJVXDnpvhBRe27fmxGER2u8bsxcso-vTNUFOKWxWO85V0v3jJA6lSDtv619TtEnyyQs0e73_IUHdZiuoYK/s325/abstract_butterfly_jansport_backpack-rf1155ea59ee2448d835823a44d1529c0_qpidy_1024.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="325" data-original-width="325" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvYwvlRwfdVj7fkUey5PXSje5UKEPwYqO9UoCHMi-qVW-v98ul0-2OJItOSaeJVXDnpvhBRe27fmxGER2u8bsxcso-vTNUFOKWxWO85V0v3jJA6lSDtv619TtEnyyQs0e73_IUHdZiuoYK/s320/abstract_butterfly_jansport_backpack-rf1155ea59ee2448d835823a44d1529c0_qpidy_1024.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Custom<a href="https://www.zazzle.com/abstract_butterfly_jansport_backpack-256171044947614115" target="_blank"> back packs</a>, various styles to choose from.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNYJthaA8J0arK-dSHfS1cH_QckyAMqUdocWT5hCcCHGyeNR22fJlaY9Qgd5VhyWksv1pVZPIE6sss7B_HHNDF9HUSc_jXNtuOcKgSPSY12313z5dVB4wb-P516Xa_uOQEoDDd_AUHvRVh/s325/red_holiday_dimensional_works_apron-r24adcef23e4f4ac39489b00842f421a0_qjaum_1024.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="325" data-original-width="325" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNYJthaA8J0arK-dSHfS1cH_QckyAMqUdocWT5hCcCHGyeNR22fJlaY9Qgd5VhyWksv1pVZPIE6sss7B_HHNDF9HUSc_jXNtuOcKgSPSY12313z5dVB4wb-P516Xa_uOQEoDDd_AUHvRVh/s320/red_holiday_dimensional_works_apron-r24adcef23e4f4ac39489b00842f421a0_qjaum_1024.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/red_holiday_dimensional_works_apron-256294494998136573" target="_blank"><br /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/red_holiday_dimensional_works_apron-256294494998136573" target="_blank">Aprons,</a> bright colors and fun patterns.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p>Designs by Shellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00636164176537983907noreply@blogger.com0
