NEW WEBSITE UP AND RUNNING!!

Well I finally got this thing up and running. Let me say that loading products up on a website is not my favorite thing to do and it's kind of like the laundry it never seems to be finished, but then again, I love adding new stuff for folks to see and hadn't updated my old site in so long that this site will seem like this is the first time I have had a website. I have to give most of the credit to Bebe from Off the Beaten Path Designs she is a genius!! Not to mention super patient. She had designed the graphics for my first site, but when I found out that I could also host my site with her I decided what a great time for an update. She did almost everything for me, short of loading and if I would have paid her I bet she would have done that too, cause I sure wouldn't expect anyone to do it for free!! Anyway, if you are thinking about a new website, freshening up the old like me definitely drop her a line or check out her site at http://www.offthebeatenpathdesigns.com/shop/ you will not be disappointed. So please stop by my new site and let me know what you think!! The address is still the same http://www.signsofpatriotism.com Well folks I am off to lunch with the daughter in law. Hope you are all having a great day and having wonderful sunny weather to enjoy!! Til next time.......

HOPPY SPRING!!

I hope everyone is having a great day and spring weather!! I have been busy here as usual with more than one project. I think I have ADD and it is impossible for me to concentrate on only one thing at a time. Sorry Terry I guess you do after all get it from your Mom, love ya son!! The most exciting news is that I am working on a new website with new graphics and am LOVE LOVE LOVING it!! I am shooting to launch the 1st of April so please check it out. I was worried I might be losing some with the old graphics and that folks thought I only made military signs and that's not the case at all. So to add to the many new military signs I have I will be getting my everyday for every person signs on this new site for all to enjoy. Not too mention that my military enjoy a sign that is not necessarily military themed as well, LOL. So I hope it is well received. I will also be venturing into some cyber parties product parties so stay tuned for the details on that!! So I am off to do some painting and wait for some deliveries. I hope you and your families are well!! Take care!!
