$1,500,000.00 for Bill's ponytail

Donate that much money and I will give you the item!

You own two one-of- a -kinds...
I got the t-shirt as a bonus when I first registered my domain name!
The pony tail took a long time to grow and a lot of Jack Daniels to cut off!

I think that is commonly referred to as the "foot in mouth" disease... but you know me... I tend to thrive on (or get into a lot of) twubble at times!

I'm likin that idea really well!
Yep...nobody (especially Mr. Bill)needs to be out any money on the project! We have enough members here that I think we could get a bunch to order to make it worth doing!
And you know..it would be great advertisement!!!

I thought about peel and stick bumper stickers but magnets never crossed my mind... This is something that we could look into. (I heard there is a bird around here that used to make a living printing commercial, magnetic truck signs... Maybe she would consider giving us a price quote for a couple different sizes)

Another possibility that I started to explore last week was printing out some of those "iron on" appliques. The cost would only be about $2.50 for a 8 1/2 x 11 1/2 sheet (could be 4 "monograms" or a single giant Hummingbird House.) The cost of mailing would be next to nothing. I've never tried them so I don't know about the quality compared to screen printed shirts, and that is why I hesitate to suggest that option... but there IS that option.

It makes me very proud to think that you all would like to own a forum T or mug! Thank you!!!

i have to second the above two motions!

My thoughts leaned more toward giveaways and contest prizes more than selling them but the cost has kept me more or less quiet.

If you did that...then we would be looking at you being out the cost of purchase...and I think we all agree that is the one thing we don't want, I think you have been more than generous with the forum being free and providing us with the new server. As much as we would LOVE to win an item...I would rather have the oppertunity to buy as many as I would like. THEN...if you wanted to purchase a "different" smaller item...(like maybe the car magnet things or cups) to use as gifts or prizes that would be your choice.

My original vision was of a fairly small monogram (4"x4"?) GH rose with The Gardener's Forum arched over the rose and www.TheGardenHelper.com in a straight line beneath. I like the Wild Willy in place of the rose as well (did someone say "vanity, ego and a swoolen head"?)
When we find out what kind of pricing is involved, we may be able to offer options for the two designs. My own tastes in T-shirts would make my preference be just the monogram on the front, but Hummingbird House might look nice as a larger print on the back too!

... Same thing for the coffee mugs... Big and Bold! When you are having your morning cup of coffee you gotta be thinking "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm GOOD!" about both the coffee and your cup!

ok, willy and i were posting at the same time, but here is my take at this point.

when i worked the g8 summit, a local supplier (someone i have several different contacts with) was able to do embroidered golf shirts in 3 colors with the g8 logo on them for $26 per shirt (i know the cost, i bought 3 of the "extras"). these were top of the line, ping brand golf shirts (kinda like what i used to call a polo shirt). the only caveat to the whole thing was that we had to take the colors they had in stock. the good thing was that they were a very nice butter cream yellow.

now, from what i know, the biggest thing that will hinder us is whether we have "camera" ready art (oh cindy )

we could get something like what willy suggested, a rose (or willy) with the arched letters over the top and the web address underneath.

i'm sure i have a picture of me in the shirt (or one of matthew) i'll find it right now and post it.

Uhhhh Cindy what is your thoughts on this whole thing....we keep "suggesting" you for things...

---

That's fine with me...I'll do whatever needs done...camera ready art, divided into separate screens, etc.
My first t-shirt screenprinting job was a "four color" of two chickens playing volleyball ...started with a pencil and blank piece of paper, and ended up with the final product separated into 4 color screens.

Here's my resume .....
I'll do whatever you need.
