My online t-shirt store!!!!

Ok... I have a bunch of ideas floating in my head for t-shirts. Some serious, some silly, some just pretty. I'm testing out the market to see if it is worth it to purchase a storefront at CafePress. Right now I'm using their free store which has a LOT of limitations. One of the BIGGEST limitations is the fact that I can only put 1 design on 1 type of shirt. In other words... I couldn't pick the cheap value shirt for all my white t-shirt choices. I could only offer 1 design on the cheap shirt and had to pick more expensive shirts for each of my other designs. VERY frustrating.

I put a link to my store in the left column. I'll put it here too:

One of my other online names is "Myth" in case you were wondering why I am using that as a part of my store name.

Right now I only have 2 designs available in a white shirt and a dark/black shirt. I have several ideas just bursting to get out but I think I'll have to purchase a storefront first. I don't like having expensive t-shirts as my only option (with the free account limitations).

I'm not begging anyone to buy anything... I'm just "putting the info out there in the universe and seeing what happens". If you have any comments, suggestions or any shirt ideas that you are willing to give me for future shirts I'm eager to hear from you.

The idea for making t-shirt designs stemmed from my sweet hubby not being able to find paid work recently. I needed to find something that I can do from home while taking care of the kids (and growing larger by the day). The base price for the shirts is quite high so my profit from each is not much. I'm not assuming that this will make much if any income.... I'm HOPING this can help (in the long run) when times get tough and work is slow.

For what it's worth.... there it is.

I love it! I SO need to get my hubby one of those! :) It was only one design, though. I can't wait to see what others you have cooking in your head!

So creative! And funny :)

One design says "wife attack" and the other says "girlfriend attack". Other than wording they are identical.
