New sidebar buttons!

In the midst of all the Halloween-ness. I've found some time to try and update the look of the blog a little bit. I've been meaning to redo the buttons for quite sometime. Now you can clickty click and go to the Bright-side Etsy shop, see all the music Mondays  check out some photos and projects we've blogged about! I think that they've turned out well. But now I feel like I should redo the banner and make it match the buttons. That's my next project.

I did these a little different then I've done other things like this. I drew them all out first and then scanned them in and edited them in illustrator. When normally I just open up illustrator and go for it. But computers haven't ever been a strong point of mine. So doing it this way was much more efficient.

On a random side note one of my favorite artist JOSHUA JAMES is releasing a new album that comes out next week Tuesday! But better then that you can hear the entire thing online before it's released! Plus there's such a good interview with him about the new album. So far my favorite song is Surrender, but I'm probably going to obsess over this album for a little bit so that is subject to change. On top of ALL that you can download his other album Build Me This for FREE! How amazing is that?! Such an amazing artist and an amazing album! He's just a damn good song writer. Check it out. You'll love him!

So much to do and not enough time.

The bright side girls have taken on their biggest project yet. We've been printing all these tee shirts for our family reunion. These are the biggest runs of shirts we have done ever before. It is a little overwhelming. But it's all going to pay off hopefully soon. We did 3 different designs all one color prints, so it's nothing that we can't handle. But man, printing in runs of 100 is a whole new game for us. We never turn down a challenge! So far we've got the shirts ordered and the designs ready. We're working on burning the screens this weekend. Then just keep printing our little hearts out until we've gone through this massive amount of tees. I'll post more stats and pictures later. But here's a little sneak peek of our designs. Wish us luck!

Start Something New

We just finished doing a mini-run of some tee shirts. The idea behind this design is just moving on. Everyday I try to start something new or finish something old. It's the mini accomplishments that make me feel successful. Life is always changing and new things are happening and that's what makes it so great and terrifying all at the same time. This design is just a reminder that new is good. Let's go out and be adventurers of the world. 

We only did a small run (and I mean SMALL) only one of each size. So snatch it up quick. We only did a small run because I found a lot of things that I want to change about it. If you really want it and we sell out of your size, we'll probably reprint it for you with minor changes. But for now this is all we got. 

As always we love your ideas and feedback on our designs. Knowing what others are thinking about our designs is important so we either make more of what you guys like or make less of what you dis-like.
