Any news on the t-shirts? Not that it's warm enough out to be wearing them sans parkas, just wondering.

The New Pre-Order Deadline is JANUARY 5TH, 2013

Our order will go to the printer on January 7th regardless of how many shirts have been ordered.

As soon as the shirts are printed, we will let folks know and even with Canada Post's sometimes "flexible" delivery times, everyone should have their shirts by the end of January.

Today is the deadline for shirts and we have 21 ordered todate.  I know of a couple of folks who are away right now who have always purchased shirts and I know another person is trying to put together an order among friends but won't be able to meet tonight's deadline, so, we will be holding off ordering until after New Years. 

And we will be ordering in the New Year whether we meet the minimum order or not, it would just be nice to be sure that everyone who wants a shirt has the opportunity to get a shirt.  It was a lucky opportunity that we could make it into the printing queue right before Christmas but it meant a very short ordering period at a time of the year when folks are away from their computers and more often, away from home.

Also, for folks who were planning to give shirts as gifts, I have put together a couple of "it's coming" card formats - give me an email or a PM and I can put together a personalized on in colour or black and white or you can personalize it yourself.  Just contact me and we can go from there.

For the last couple of years we have made shirts available at the end of November so folks would/could consider them for Christmas gifts.  Next year however, we are going to try it a month earlier and see if that works better - a bit early for Christmas for some, but hopefully a better timing for most!

Just placed my order  :).  Thank you for having white shirts!  

You are welcome Leana  :)
If they work out well and are well-received by the folks who ordered them this year, we may keep them on the menu when we have designs with light backgrounds in future years.  Or at least we will keep it in mind!

We have 15 shirts ordered to-date, so about half-way to our minimum break-even amount for the order to be placed before Christmas (fingers are still crossed Jazzerkins!).  Will post another update on the 11th. 

For those folks who would like to give shirts as Christmas presents, if we aren't able to order until the new year, please let me know if you are interested  I will be happy to put together a card of some sort that you can give your gift recipient with our apologies for the delay.  Just let me know.

I will be sending out another mass mailing to everyone today (everyone should receive it in the next 24 hours) so we may get more shirts ordered before the pre-Christmas deadline. 

If you have questions, post them here or send me a PM or an email.

TPC, what is the minimum order you need in order for them to be ready before Christmas?

36 is the minimum order at this price - and we haven't had a problem getting there in the past, I'm just concerned about the 1 week pre-order limit - they need a week+ to print them and they close entirely through Christmas and reopen on January 2nd.

 :D YIPEE!  I placed my order and am so excited.  Can't wait to receive them.  Hurry, everyone, and place your orders.  These will make awesome Christmas gifts/holiday gifts.  I think I ordered a selection of 6 of these shirts - in different colors and styles.  Guess what my family/friends are getting for Christmas?  Lucky most of them don't go on this site, so it will still be a surprise for them.  Many of them commented on the T-shirt and sweatshirt I got last year and thought they were great.  :-* ;D

Excellent timing Kinderchick ...

The printing company has an opening to print before Christmas, so as long as we have enough shirt orders by December 12th, we can get them printed before Christmas and folks can pick up over the holidays.

However, if we don't have enough for the minimum order, I will hold off putting the order in until January 1st just in case folks are away or need a bit more time to decide.  The shirts would be ready mid-January and everyone should receive them (via pickup or mail service) by the end of the January.

  • prices are the same as last year
  • more information on estimated postage costs
  • two makes - Ultra Cotton and Organic Cotton
  • two styles - short-sleeved and long-sleeved
  • lots of sizes just like normal
  • a few colour options because not all the shirt makes, styles or sizes are available in a single colour other than white which is never my first choice.

You can check out this year's design in the Project's Store

Same process as usual - fill out the pre-order form (read it carefully - lots of choices!) and I will send you your estimate via email.  Once you have approved the estimate, I will send you an invoice and your order is "in".

Because we need a minimum number of shirts in our print order in order to break even, I will let folks how we are doing next week so everyone will know if we will be able to get our shirts printed before Christmas.

If you have questions, you can post them here or send me a PM.

My preference would be organic cotton in the natural colour, long sleeves.
