This Holiday Season...

... I gave "Bakktalk Online Gifts" a new (and overdue) look, and a bunch more new designs for my growing customer base. I know that many people are close to finishing up their seasonal shopping already, but if any of you dear readers are still looking for something a little different and unique, well, take a trip through the shop. Bakktalk is intentionally not theme-based; I want to offer as wide an array of designs to as many different types of shoppers as I can. Specifically, the General Store section is just that. Variety is the spice... But there are other sections like the Specialty Licenses, the Off-the -Wallclocks , Seasonal Offerings, American Politics and Are You a Junkie? that shouldn't be over-looked. Each of those sections are theme-oriented in themselves and are worthy of at least a walk-through. Below is one of my newer designs now offered on shirts, sweats, mugs, etc. in the Seasonal Offerings section ... Then there is Things LBI, a section devoted exclusively to the vacation mecca on the Jersey coast, Long Beach Island. I've grown to enjoy the flavor of that 18-mile strip of sand over the last few decades and offer island-related products in its honor. If you are, too, a fan of the coast, you should stop in. All designs are exclusive and original.

Today, Bakktalk is in the middle of celebrating it's First Anniversary. I can tell you that it has been a real learning experience and a great creative outlet for me! If someone were to ask, I'd say that the first year was much like the first year of anything. New territory, lots of experimentation, small victories, along with bumps and bruises. Now that I've learned to "walk", I'm looking forward to my second year with Cafepress.com.

To close, of course, I want to invite you to e-mail me at bladimz@dejazzd.com with any ideas, suggestions or even to request any custom work that you might want to have done for someone special. And now that I've got that out of the way:

Here's wishing you all the
peace, happiness and holiday enjoyment
that you can muster this wonderful Christmas Season!
See ya on the flip side...
