Fussy says Respect the Brand & Gives a Sneek Peek

 

What is my problem? Wait, don't answer that, K? The 'I hate Fussy Fanclub' will let me know already! ~Fussy waves to the haters~

I don't answer emails for days on end. I keep twittering about my latest venture. I've lost the ability to carry on a decent face-to-face conversation. I promised that today I would make it up to you and give a sneak peek at what I am up to.

OK, without further ado, here is a sneak peek of the super rough drafts of latest project-

 

I am opening a CafePress store on Monday. 

I wanted to show you some graphics from my Mommy Blogger line of products. Thanks to the brilliant conversations from Megan at Velveteen Mind (check out her new Mommyblogger resource page!) and Erin at Queen of Spain, we Mommy Bloggers are beginning to feel own own power. Aren't these a fun way to flaunt our new found importance?

The store will be full of everything from Tshirts to coffee cups to bumper stickers. The categories will cover everything from baby clothes with adorable designs to political humor. I am just as excited as I can be.

As most of you know, but I'm not supposed to mention, Hubs still is looking for a new job thank you recession I have been planning a way to help the family stay off the street a wee bit. The new store is my latest and greatest venture. I'll keep you posted on the progress and answer the age old question, "Can you really make a living online?" So far the answer is not so much. But as soon as I find a way, you'll be the first to know how I did it!

So until Monday's launch, if I forget to answer that email, take showers or have contact with the outside world -this is what I'm up to.

Love, Fussy

PS- Because I owe you a new picture...

OK, here is the photo of the monkeys and that my Mother in Law took last week. Don't laugh. I tried to give us all a tan due to our exotic Irish pasty skin and turned us orange, so now it is just plain ole black and white. Nice, eh? A certain son of mine did not consume adult beverages before the photo, I promise. What's up with those eyes? Gah!

No, Mr. Smartypants does not want his handsome face all over the interwebs. He values something called privacy. I know not of that word of which he speaks. I love sharing all the intimate details of my life with you!

~Did I mention how cute you look today? Mwah.~

I don't think your ability to have a face-to-face conversation has diminished! Of course, I didn't meet you face-to-face before you were hugely pregnant and swamped with all your ventures. Maybe I don't know the real Mrs. Fussypants at all? Either way, I think you're fabulous!!

I love the designs, looking forward to a coffee mug!

[Christina]

Aw, what a sweet picture of you and your offspring. :) I can't believe you got them all to smile at the same time.

The designs look great! Can't wait to see the store!

[JessicaAPISS]

Love the family pic

Love the shirt slogans

A little scared by my potential to overspend at this new shop!

[Mrs. Fussypants]

Sure.

I'm off to the OB today and when I come home I'll whip up some buttons & badges that everyone can but on sidebars.

RESPECT THE BRAND!

Hey, why am I yelling?

Love, Alli
