Calendars Ornaments Plates Other Products
Dear Valued Customer,
It seems only yesterday that I was attending a trade show in Dallas, Texas and fascinated with a display of custom printed Christmas Ornaments. My mind began to go wild with the potential of what you could print on the ornaments. I could see Landmarks in every town and community in the country. I could see images of 50 year old Churches printed on the ornaments. I could see Bridges, Old Mills, memories of Old School Houses, Fire Departments, Post Offices, Train Stations, College Libraries. The list was endless. I could envision the Lions Club, Rotary, Jaycees, Women's Club, Church Youth Groups establishing an annual sale of the ornaments with a new theme and creating a collection that any community would be proud to own.
Actually, that was in 1990. And what started out as a fascination in the middle of a trade show has now grown into a full time business. A few years later I came across a custom printed cotton linen wall calendar and began to envision such things as School sports schedules and Churches printed on calendars. I remember my mother buying a hanging calendar every year to "cover" the fuse box in the kitchen. They were always pictures of apples or kittens. Very pretty. I begin to think that it would be nice to have a picture of our Church, or School, hanging in the kitchen or den. I designed a calendar for my Children’s School and not only did it become a practical tool for keeping up with School Holidays, End of Six Weeks, Graduation Days, Sports Schedules, but it also becomes a permanent souvenir of the kid’s days in high school and will surely show up at class reunions in years to come. Then came commemorative plates and many other fundraising ideas.
I hope that your creativity comes to life as you view the next few pages. If you are involved in a Church Group, School Group, or Civic Club and want to begin an exciting new fundraiser for your group I know you will find this as exciting as I did. Let your mind go.....imagine the possibilities.
With Warmest Regards,
