Don't Forget Mother's Day

Shop at the For Women Old Enough...store or at Music Stuff & More for gifts for Mom, Grandma, or, heck, yourself (if you're a Mom or Grandma, you're very entitled to treat yourself, don't you think? You've earned it!).

See a section with Mother's Day Gift Ideas from my Music Stuff & More store

Also check out Moms Rule and I Heart Mom graphic merchandise and Grannies Rule, I Heart Grandma, and other loving Granny merch (Find Phat Granny and Groovy Grandma merch here as well.)

Poll: Family ties key to youth happiness

Poll: Family ties key to youth happiness - Yahoo! News (AP)

Interesting, important, and, especially if you're a mom, encouraging survey done by the Associated Press and, yes, MTV.

IMHO, these two together - AP and MTV - could come up with a pretty good overview of what's going on with today's youth.

Hey, some good news (for a change). : )

Keep cool.

A "For Women Old Enough..." store update:

This Page linked to above will give you a good summary of what's new in the store. But, I'll also make a list here:

~ From now on, ALL of my totebags in both of my CafePress premium stores (that would be "For Women Old Enough..." as well as "Music Stuff & More") will be sold at the reduced price of $14.00. This is to encourage bag re-use, yet another way we can help our planet - and, ultimately, ourselves.

These CafePress canvas totebags are good for re-use, being strong, easily washable cotton canvas. The bags can also be used as shoulder bags. (I've a couple of these bags myself, so I do have personal experience with using them.)

~ Along that line, surely you've seen the World in the "For Women..." store. No, really, the Planet Earth. CafePress merchandise with a high-quality NASA photo of the Western Hemisphere of the Earth graphic is now available in both of my CafePress premium stores.

~ There is brand-new CafePress merchandise available. I've been starting to add the maternity tops (in both white and in black) and the new Junior spaghetti tank tops (in nice colors) to both of my CafePress premium stores. Also, I continue to add other merchandise (always working at catching up) to both stores.

~ As I've mentioned previously, here and/or in my monthly CafePress newsletter or CHM Biz News Blog, some CafePress merchandise is about to be discontinued.

In fact, if CafePress doesn't remove the U.S. Custom Postage right away, I should/will, because the price of postage is changing this week, while this postage is not (being 39 cents). All in all, I recommend not buying the CafePress Custom Postage - or for that matter, the soon-to-be-discontinued CafePress Postage Pals. Actually, these postal items may already be unavailable.

CafePress apparel to be discontinued in early June include the Junior camisoles, the Junior baby-doll T-shirts (to be replaced with new Junior jerseys - stay tuned), and the light-blue trucker hats.

Note that the black trucker hats will continue to be available and are not being discontinued.

Check 'em out (Please?)

TGIF. Have a nice weekend! : )

Sharing a Secret?

The cat's out of the bag... This is not yet public, but I'll share this with you blog people and hope that CafePress wouldn't mind (I sincerely doubt it would.).

From an official CafePress person:

Hi Shopkeepers,

We're adding excitement to Spring with new items and new color choices. Soon you'll see:

-- Maternity T-shirts: It's what you've been waiting for! With this shirt, we'll be offering a special belly print (10" x 10") area. Available in black and white.

-- Jr. Spaghetti: 3 new colors added! The colors are light pink, light blue, and lemon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me again.

Note that this merchandise is not out yet. But, it'll coming soon.

I know this is not so much a young woman place, or its accompanying store, but I thought you'd like to know. After all, you do have daughters, some of you. I will be making the maternity tops available in my stores - I do support moms - of all ages. : ) I think my already-available "Moms rule" graphic would work on those maternity tops, for a start.

Have a nice weekend! I'm looking forward to a quiet day by myself: baseball (just in front of the TV) while playing/working with my bead stuff, and reading my vast multitude of library books. Kicking back, relaxing, and, frankly, taking a break from this bleep electric box. Looking forward to Spiderman, too, in the next few days. Spidey's back! : ) (If you think I'm a bleep fool now, wait 'til "the Pirates"'s arrival later this month. Yo Ho, Yo Ho...) I'm just an old bleep kid. : D

Toddler calls 911 after mother collapses

Toddler calls 911 after mother collapses - Yahoo! News (AP)

I like this story and had to share it. Good for this little guy!

Add this toddler hero to the assortment of other heroes who you would not think able to contact 911 for help in an emergency (dogs, cats, etc.), but surprise and gratify us all by doing just that.

New Mom & Granny Shirts Added

(That's the latest - the transparent background - version of "Groovy Grandma" at left.)

Check out the "Sales & Features" section of the store For Women Old Enough... for featured Lent/Easter Christian crosses, flowers, green Celtic Christian crosses (St. Pat's is coming), and plenty - lot and lots - of pink graphics, as well as pink shirts. Think Spring.

Lots of new shirts have been added recently to this store (as well as my Music Stuff & More store). Just today I added transparent-background versions of the "Moms Rule", "Grannies Rule", and "Groovy Grandma" graphics so that they could be added to the dark shirts available on CafePress now (see "Groovy Grandma" graphic just above - the brand-new version).

"Dark", BTW, includes a jillion other colors now in addition to black. For example, green, red, and blue now come on "dark" shirts. Women's "dark" T-shirts now include purple (violet?), red, aqua, and gray. There are many more colors of shirts these days around here. And, V-necks are now available, and many more Women's-sized shirts.
