so our 2020 december sale has wrapped up, a big thanks to all that ordered. still calculating the numbers (not 100% sure what these socks and shoes will set me back yet) but from the ebay auctions and sales, i am confidant we reached the goal of 10k for our charities. so that is amazing, everyone that contributed, huge thanks.
where do we go from here? well, we’ll be ordering our sock orders, no problem there. the shoe orders might be trickier. in talking with the manufacturers, they mentioned each size needs a minimum amount of that specific size ordered, and some sizes only had like 1 ordered in that specific size (mens 3.5 for instance). being my first time at the bat with shoe manufacturing, this was news to me. so, we’ll see, i’m 99% sure both designs will be printed, but there also might be some refunds to the sizes that weren’t as popular. apologies, i do not envy that phil knight guy, a lot of things to consider with shoes. all that being said, we can refund your order at any time and should any projects be cancelled, refunds will go out as well. fingers crossed!
in other news, lunar calendars are printing after christmas and should ship pretty soon, artprints the same deal. stickers will take awhile. socks and shoes, a long while. wood prints are being printed by me currently, each one a unique piece, pretty fun. ebay winners will have their prints being shipped asap as well.
on the charity front, we’re heading washington’s department of child services tomorrow, tree and lights and a ton of gifts for kids ages 1-18. should be fun setting it up, the department has already expressed their thanks and i’m sure it’ll make a lot of kids christmas’ pretty special. plus it illustrates to my kids what the holidays are all about, being kind to one another. so thanks for the opportunity. plus open house ministries will be receiving a check, as well potentially another addiction recovery center in our community, since we exceeded our goal. success, complete success. will continue to update with this project so everyone can share in the warm fuzzy feelings. if that’s your thing. so, on that note, thanks again, let us know if you have questions, shipping issues or refund requests. have a good one!
ps - if people are interested in printable certificates for items sold to give this christmas (“i bought you shoes that will arrive a long time from now”), lemme know, i am happy to make them but if no one really cares one way or another, i’m ok not making them.
