New Easter Designs

Well Easter is not far off and I've been creating some cute Easter designs for mugs, magnets, t-shirts, cards and more. Easter is a beautiful day, most important for Christians as they celebrate the Risen Saviour. A few Easter baskets, bunnies and eggs are mixed in there too! However you celebrate it I hope you'll check out some great gift ideas at my store. Shell's Designs

Go Canada Go - 15 Medals So Far

Canada is doing great in fourth place for medal standings. Canadian athletes have won 15 medals so far... 7 of which are gold, woohoo! It was so amazing and sureal to be at the Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympics... so much energy and buzz. I wrote a lens about my experience at the Opening Ceremonies. I also received a purple star award on this lens. This is an award given only to Giant Squids. (A title you earn if you have more than 50 quality lenses) That was so cool to get that notice and I've been getting lots of traffic to this lens as well! You can view it here...

Above you'll see some great items using photos I took in Vancouver, B.C. home of the Winter Olympic Games... great souvenirs to remember the Winter Olympics 2010. You can view more in my store under the 'Canada' tab... Shell's Designs

Braving the Crowds for the Olympic Opening

Well I can tell you that I am starting to get a little excited about attending the Opening Ceremonies for the Olympics in Vancouver, B.C. A once in a lifetime opportunity for sure. It will be something to be in B.C. Place with all of the athletes, performers and the countries that are represented. Better wear some red Olympic wear...
I've been working on a business card lens, just finished that last night! Some unique designs to promote your business. Business cards are still very important for marketing yourself and your business. Always keep some in your wallet to hand out whenever the opportunity arises.
