Being a designer is great..... (just not all the time)


I've got designer blues - well they are more like greens to be precise.  We switched print companies - found a better one who care about existing customers rather than chasing after new ones (theres more but I don't want to start a rant).  Anyway sent through loads of work to go to bulk print and the proofs came back with colours are all different.  Our new printer is lovely and helpful but it looks like I will just move into my office never go out again (well I don't go out too much now anyway) and change all my fifty billion card designs to match their colour profiles!!  So Merry Christmas everyone I may be some time!

Just getting ready for Mothers Day here at Geordie HQ - marketing starts next week once we've got Valentines day out of the way.  Had a long old week this week but its been very productive. We've now got an agent in Liverpool for our Scouse Stuff and are pushing forward with the other new ranges.  PHEW!
