The Really Big Announcement
Last week I mentioned a super secret project I was busy working on. I also said I couldn't wait to tell you all about it.
I'm guessing some of you were hoping my new project was a banner which doesn't suck. But no, we're still training for the marathon so all extra design projects are delayed. Well, except the newsletter project I took on for the school. The one where after I said I'd do it I realized I don't actually know how to design a newsletter. Which is great because Logan had like twenty minutes of free time that were just sitting there being wasted on digesting food or something.
Anyway, no! My big secret project has nothing to do with Logan. It has everything to do with me and my friend Maggie Mason.
Mighty Goods is Maggie's shopping site where she celebrates stuff every day. After a lot of planning (not mine) and a lot of designing (not mine), Mighty Goods is getting a sister site.
Mighty Junior is a shopping site just for kids and the grown ups who love them. I am thrilled Maggie asked me to work with her on this project because I have always admired Mighty Goods, I love Maggie and also love stuff. I am incredibly flattered Maggie asked me to help her on this project.
I hope you'll go check it out. Here are a few of my favorite picks so far.
"Hooray For Stuff" indeed!
very cool! I love your descriptions. What do you eat for breakfast to be so darn funny?!?

Congratulations to you and Maggie; Mighty Junior is awesome! As my children get older it's getting harder to find cool gifts for them. I appreciate all the cool AND useful gifts that you have listed.

Love it! Do you take requests? ;-) Like I'm searching high and low for cool horse-themed stuff for my 3.5 yr old for Christmas.

I am hyperventilating on your behalf... I love Mighty Goods, and to find out you're along for the ride with Mighty Junior is just too good to be true. If I can quote what I know my girls would say: I Want It All!
Who am I kidding? *I* would be thrilled to have lots of that "kid" stuff!

I know! How awesome is it? To top it all off it's so fun to find cool things and come up with something to say about them that's short, sweet and possibly funny. YAY!

cool website...can you make it so we can enlarge the thumbnails?

Where it says, "$xx at Such and Such Store" Click the store name and it will take you to the product page and hopefully the larger image.

The site is cool. Maybe It's just me… but I couldn't see paying some of the prices they show. $85 for a piggy bank?? WHAT THE ?!#$@
Posted by: IndyGirl07 | 2007.10.24 at 07:43 PM
There's a price for everyone. Plus that bank isn't just a bank. It's a piece of art.

Cool! Got it, Thnx!

Congrats on the new endeavor!
By the way, I always liked your current masthead.

Er, not the current one, the one that was there a couple days ago. You know, quietly plotting her escape and all that.
