We're staying in San Diego, but my husband is still leaving for NDI school in Florida. More info here. My mom doesn't have high speed internet and it would be nearly impossible for me to continue to do custom orders while I stay there. Ronnie will be done with school around October and once we get settled in to a new home I'll start taking custom orders again.
Thanks for understanding!
So if you haven't heard, we're PCSing to Edwards AFB AND we just found out that I'm pregnant with baby number 2!!! My husband still has a few kinks to work out as far as when exactly we're moving up there, but if things go the way we plan he'll be off to a 4 month school in FL and my son & I will be staying with my mom until after the new baby arrives. (In January.) My mom doesn't have high speed internet because it's not availble in her area. She also has the SLOWEST computer on the face of this earth.... So this means that while I'm living at my mom's house I'm not going to be taking any custom orders until probably next year. I know that's such a long time away, but there's just no way around it unless someone wants to buy me a laptop! lol.
Now there's still a possibility that Ronnie won't get in to the school and if that's the case we'll be at Edwards as soon as July. I'll be sure to let everyone know if that happens.
As it stands right now I will only be accepting custom orders through the end of June... I'm not sure of an exact date, but I'll post it when I find out. I'll try to make the computer one of the last things we pack up. ;)
If you haven't heard the news already, I'll say it again... Hubby got new orders to be stationed at Edwards AFB. This news comes just as I was unpacking the last box at our new house. Ahh the great life of being in a military family.... So come June/July we'll be heading up that way.
There is a possibility that my son and I will be staying here in San Diego with my family for a few month longer though. That will happen if my husband gets sent to school in Florida. If it turns out that he DOES end up going to school and Camron and I stay here in SD then I won't have any access to a decent computer until about October 2008. I'll have access to e-mail (through dial-up internet), but I won't have my graphics program with me. Nothing is for sure yet, but I just wanted to give the heads up to anyone who is planning on getting something custom made.... I'll give more info as I find out more. For now I'm still taking custom orders as usual. =)
Lol. This has NOTHING to do with my store, but I just wanted to share these 2 videos I can across on YouTube.com. I love our military! lol.
HILARIOUS! I can totally see my husband and his friends doing this...
I'm working on some great new products that I'll have up for sale soon!! I don't want to spoil the surprise by telling everyone what it is, but I will say that it has nothing to do with Cafepress. This will be something that I'm doing on my own... More info will be coming in the next few weeks. =)
Yup, up on my web site I've posted some icons and graphics free of charge! There's not much up there at the moment, but I do have at least one up in every section. =)
Sections included are:
Marine Corps
Army
Navy
Air Force
Deployment
Pregnancy
Babywearing
Miscellaneous
I'll be adding more and more as I find the time to make them.
Opps... I forgot to update this blog letting everyone know that I'm back. The move was successful. Now we just need to worry about cleaning the old house to Lincoln Military Housing standards... =( Fun stuff.
Yup, tomorrow is moving day! That means our computer is going to be unplugged and moved to the new house. We'll be without the internet until at least the 1st of April. I'll post here and in my shop when I'm back. During this time you may still order on my site as usual... This only affects custom orders. If you'd like to have one made for you it'll be a while before I can get back to you.
Thanks for your patience and cooperation during our move!

I just wanted to let everyone know that my family and I are getting ready to move in to a new house. I'm letting everyone know because I won't have access to the internet/my computer for about 7 to 9 days at the most. This is going to be from about March 28th to April 7th.
So get those custom requests in before March 28th so I can get them done before I move!
I've been meaning to post about this for some time now... I opened up a Zazzle store! So now I'm able to offer you guys lots of new products with some of your favorite designs on them. One thing I'm most excited about are the new military keychains I added!! Here's a few... I'll try to add more later. (Click the link above to check out my entire store!)
I haven't planned out all of the logistics of this yet, but here's my idea so far... As I was looking over the many people on AnyMarine.com to choose who would receive March's Care Package**, I noticed something... The majority of them were requesting DVDs. They have no cable TV out there. No HBO. No movies On Demand. A lot of them don't have room in their bags to bring DVDs with them. The lucky ones have a few movies loaded on to their laptops if they brought them... but not everyone has one.
So here's what I'm requesting from all who read this - Let's send our troops DVDs from home! If you'd like to help me out with this please send me a message. All I'm asking is for one or two DVDs from everyone. I'll be searching Thrift Stores, BlockBuster and probably Wal-Mart for some good deals, but if this is going to work I think I'm going to need a little bit of help. Thanks in advance!

P.S. Please feel free to pass this along to anyone who you think might be able to help!
**With part of the profits from http://www.cafepress.com/taysdesigns I send at least one care package a month to a deployed troop.
To get your very own pillow just like the one below I just need 6 of your pictures! They don't have to be in black and white... I can turn them black and white for you. Please keep in mind that high resolution pictures work best for this design. The bigger the picture you can send me, the better! =) You can send your request to: taysdesigns@cox.net
New section in our store: Welcome Home! We have Welcome Home clothing for adults and children. We also have a new product - Welcome Home Yard signs! I have a few up in the store right now and plan to add more in the near future. I can also have them personalized/customized with your troop's name on it. Here are a few examples of what's in the store:
I've made this design for 3 of the branches - Navy, Army and Air Force... You can get it with JUST the military branches name on it.... Or it you can get it with the word "Wife", "Fiancee" or "Girlfriend" underneath it! These are just a few samples.. Please check out our store for the full selection: www.cafepress.com/taysdesigns
