A Snapshot: It was a perfect day outside today. I run the risk of sounding cliche when I say I love long walks on the beach. The ocean crashing to my left, the seaguls squaking to my right.

I ordered samples from a few more places as backups and to possibly offer some high end hand screen printed stuff in the future.
