Shame.

Shame. It's a powerful thing. A terrible thing to have to live with. And i've been living with it without even realizing it.

It's shame that has me posting today. Which works out well, because the source of my shame is the fact that i've not offered anything here since last November. Here it is the middle of February, the snow still hanging around, but slowly fading, and i'm waiting for... what?

Bakktalk on the one hand, is not really, offering anything new, except for ever-more new and exciting designs. We've been, however, foraying into some poster designs, primarily inspirational or "un-inspirational" posters. You've seen them around. Check ours out; they're fresh, they're unique and just as clever as can be. Here's a sample, in case, like me, you're just lazy enough to not bother looking for them.

We'll be adding new posters to the list going forward, and will attempt to create an eclectic array, making it

easier to find one that suits your need.

Like every other design on this site, these posters make perfect gifts for birthdays, weddings, holidays; and for fellow employees or even the boss. Maybe.

It's nice to offer another new product line here, especially since the price is right and the quality of the printing is unmatched! If anyone here has any special ideas for a poster design, feel free to send it along to bladimz@gmail.com. If you have any questions, send them along as well. I'm sure there's someone here smart enough to be able to answer it.

I feel the weight of my shame lifting from my shoulders; it was good to get this off of my chest! Meanwhile, keep in mind the holidays moving in on us and browse our impressive variety of designs. If you find one you like, and you purchase it, you will love the product and the printing and i'll be happy too!

I'm about 3 months away from being a grandfather for the very first time, but that's for another post... I wish you all good health and good times until shame once again taps me on the shoulder. Carps Di Yum!

Welcome, June!

No... not June Cleaver. The month of June. You can recognize it by the increasingly warm weather (generally), the surge in blissful, blessed wedding ceremonies, the explosion of graduation exercises and, of course, parties, and ... ticks. Oh well. No month is perfect.

But another thing that June seems to be good for is retirement announcements and parties. Educators initially come to mind, but corporately speaking, June attracts retirement. Well, Bakktalk Online Gifts has a spiffy retirement design and is featuring it this month.

Here's a quick peek at what the design looks like on the long sleeve white t-shirt. If you review the "Spotlight On..." section this month, you'll get a good look at the design available on all sorts of products. Many of them just perfect for a fun gift for that lucky duck. I like the hat, personally, but it works well on just about any of the products there.

Save yourself some time: if you know one person who is set to retire, chances are you know more than one who'll be taking that plunge sometime in the next year. Browse and buy now for all those future retirees. The design works just as well for women as it does for the guys. Go ahead; you'll be glad that you did. And those "ducks" will love their gifts.

Bakktalk Online Gifts is also planning the opening of it's sister shop, but at this point, there is not a firm opening date. The new shop will focus on the special photographic works of Eileen Adams. Specially selected images will be featured and available on notecards, postcards, prints, and, in many cases, even clothing and accessories. Watch for that in the next few months or so.

So, even if you don't have any retirees to buy for just now, take a few moments to look through some of the different sections in Bakktalk. Browse the eclectic selection. You'll see that there is a real variety of designs suitable for many, many occasions and many types of people.

June is moving fast. July and the 4th will be here soon. Check out my "Afternoon Delight" design in the "Newest Designs" section. And if i don't get the chance to post anything new by then, please have a great, safe, fun Independence Day Celebration!
