PAY WITH A TWEET & More about me....

Hi everyone!! You are looking at the NEW DIGGS!! I apologize for the lack of image quality. I do not take great self-portraits and I always choose to take pictures with my phone...which has horrible image quality and resolution. I am going to start yoga classes this week and I am scared to the bone!! I figure that if I can look good, then maybe my lack of mobility won't seem so terrible...hahaha  Well, the reason for my self-image plaster is because I wanted to share some of the NEW comfy clothes I got!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Under Armor clothing brand!! I was looking for some new pants and shirts when I stumbled upon the capris (in the pic below). They looked great, had positive reviews & at $60.00 each, I figure I can feel like a bum while looking like I am well put together..hahaha.. I ordered one pair (on the first order) and I got them in the mail 2 days later (LOVE getting mail)!! I am only 6 ft  5ft tall, so I got the small/Petite and I LOVE them!! These are by far, the most comfortable yoga pants I have ever owned!! So I got back online and ordered two more!! hahaha.. I will just tell the hubs that they must have made a mistake...or maybe I was the millionth shopper and got 2 pairs for free....hahaha   Just kidding, he already knows. I even wore these out!! That is how comfy and good they look!!! 

I ordered everything online from Sports Authority and I was very happy with the quick service....on another... NOT so marvelous story....

BEWARE of a VENT.....

I worked really hard all last week getting our shirts made for our HVAC company. I came up with a fun, modern design and decided I would order from an online company I have done business with before-- and was happy with. I provided the designer with my files, a mock-up of each shirt - front and back, and specific instructions...

What I am even more excited about is that I created a women's design for our company and I am so happy to bring some cuteness to HVAC...hahaha I couldn't find a set of Pink HVAC tools or a Bedazzled tool belt... wouldn't THAT be something??!! hahaha

Along with the image files, a mock-up, and an email, I also included a Word doc with specific instructions about placement, color, and size for each shirt color. If you are not familiar with a mock-up, a mock-up is a preview of a graphic on a vector image of what it will be printed on. In this case, I made a mock-up of the T-shirt designs.

Here is a sample of what I sent her for the women's shirts....

Here is what I was sent after a 2-day wait for a preview that I had already provided the designer with...

I am not sure if purple is the new coral or turquoise.....if it is, I was completely unaware of this...

Here are some samples of the men's shirt designs I sent her...

 And here was the proof I received this morning...
REALLY???!!! She added a phone number to the front,darkened the grey and changed the size and positioning of the front of the shirt design!! I am going to go out on a limb here, but I am pretty sure I gave her very clear directions.... I made this process as easy as possible for her and she still sent me a proof that was not what I asked for. Maybe she thought she knew what I wanted better than I knew myself... you know, like when the auto-correct on your phone keypad thinks it knows what you REALLY want to say....

I was so annoyed and really tried to be nice in my response, so I laid on the sarcasm pretty thick!!  haha 

It took her almost all day to correct and sent back one proof!! They are not creating a design....they are just printing the design I sent them, so I am not sure why this process is taking so long!! I even went as far as to send her the Pantone color codes for each color above....WELL... there is my vent... hahaha I feel much better...truly...

I do have to say that the girl is really nice - just most likely - completely clueless.

Well, I always had my students give 2 STARS and one "WISH", so here is my next bit of good news goodness.... FIRST... a little background knowledge to break the ice and get you interested...

My son has been growing out his hair for a while now and it was out of control. I believe it was driving his crazy behavior...he was playing the part..so to speak. After several months, recovering from 2 failed haircut attempts for kids cuts, and home cuts (from me)... we finally found a good place close by. Here is the before and after of my son's haircut...he even got a cute little FO-Hawk!! hahaha  Eat your heart out girls.... He's all MINE!!!

I  think he looks great and the David Gerard Salon was EXCELLENT!!! 

Last, but not least...I have a little tech tip for you!! I know it has been a while...  I found this site a while back, but I did not have the time to really look through it until now.  The site is called, Pay with a Tweet, and it is a way to drive traffic to your sites by offering something that you would normally sell...for free in exchange for a Tweet about the product.  This site allows you to generate a button code for the product and tweet in a matter of minutes.
