Sale Update!

That's right folks...you've tried the best- now try the rest! Mediocre stuff (but still decent) that didn't make it to our site originally!

The sale will be Tuesday March 16th. We're going to do it in 2 releases to keep it fair. So at 1 minute after Midnight on Tuesday we're going to release the first round of stuff. Then at noon we'll release the second round.

It's exactly the same stuff in each release...so you don't have to order twice. I'm counting-up what I have, and then splitting it for the releases.

It's mainly brushes, and a few finished products that I brought-in a while ago, but I didn't want to put on the site because we make pretty much everything on the site. The "surprise me" gumballs are being replaced by Sacks of Stuff...it's just easier for everyone involved if we do it grab-bag style.

I just posted a video on the front of the web site...just for fun. My buddy from high school was a wacky drive-time DJ, and he recorded a little voice over for it. It has the best production values a grey-haired person could muster in about an hour. It's meant as tongue-in-cheek...

Edit- my buddy Dennis who did the voice over work owns a DJ service in Hickory, NC- Soundstorm DJ and he's fantastic. My father shot weddings, and I've been to a few of his receptions...he's great!

Hehe really made me giggle I know I'll forget at 5pm (far too close to dinner time), hmm I wonder if I could sleep shop at 5am? Buying makeup online's pretty much second nature now, it could be done!

Oooh...Have a fun trip!

I'm glad you like the video. It was fun to put together and catch up with an old friend.

So after I went to the office today some projects that I've been working on came together a bit quicker than I expected, so there may be some new items, and a real gumball in addition to the revamped surprise me sort of things.

My Mother called me, and mediocre may not have been the best choice of words...I just have certain standards for the things that go on the site, and if it doesn't really significantly add something to the line I don't tend to add it to our stock. I don't like to oversell things at all, and I didn't want anyone to get *too* excited about some of the stuff. They're not awful, or non-useful, they're just not on the site for one reason or another. If something was truly bad or even remotely questionable I threw it out. You'll get your nickel's worth (like the ad said we're practically giving things away).
