Just wanted to update on how the store is coming. This was a MUCH bigger project than I imagined it would be when I first took it on, but it's going to be a LOT better than what I had first thought, too!
I emailed Kimber a while ago to ask permission to use the website on some of the products and recieved an email back from Anna I think it was. I'm compiling some of the designs together to send back so they can review them. I've researched a little more into Cafepress and it looks like I'll be investing some $ to purchase a shop for a full year! So you can buy products to benefit The HER Foundation and to strike up questions and conversation about HG for up to a year, and if it works out well for this year, we'll consider making it a routine annual investment for our family because this means so much to us... The whole HER community does!
Anyway, at this point I'm still making and compiling designs for products so that I can work with Anna or Kimber some of the top ladies to get this working and functional with the website, everything legal so that this will be a long term thing instead of a small thing that I had originally planned to do. I started a Photo Contest on another forum to gather royalty free photographs that I can use for the products and I have several woman who have shared their talent with me for this project! If anyone from here on the forums would like to submit some pictures to me for HER products, please don't hesitate to share your talent, too! I need royalty free photos that have absolutely anything to do with HG... pregnant women, hospitals, children, babies, nature (the stuff we miss so much of while enduring HG), etc. All photographs have to be originally taken by you and I need a statement of permission to use your photograph for a commercial purpose. (IE, I, Norma Jean, give Tina permission to use my photographs for commercial purposes, specifically products to benefit The HER Foundation. Easy as that!) You can send it to me via PM or pm me and I'll send you my email address so you can send it to me there.
I'll let you know how things keep progressing, and I'm not so sure anymore when exactly this shop will open now, but I will be purchasing the shop in the next few months.
Anyway, that's it! Just wanted to update in case any one was wondering.
