We want to create a new button that has a positive focus and is specifically about autism. It can be funny or serious. It can be geared to childhood autism or adult adult Asperger syndrome or anything in between. It can be just words or include an image (your image can be just an idea).

Have an ideas? If we choose your idea we’ll send you a 1/2 dozen buttons and credit you on the page that features the new button.

This is a lot of trouble to do, but it is especially troublesome because my skills in website design are very patchy. So critical for me is good quality support. Woo Themes has it! They have what are called Woo Ninjas who help out people like me who think they know what they are doing, but often get into pickles because I don’t quite. So if you are thinking about creating a website – or changing a website you have – I highly recommend Woo Themes. I really don’t think you will be disappointed.

Teddy worked very hard selling shirts. We didn’t bring too many as I thought it was going to be a much smaller conference than it was – so Teddy sold almost every shirt he brought. We had time to explore National Harbor and DC. Teddy loves DC, but he also love Christmas! And when at a hotel – he really loves hot tubs!

The price of cotton has gone up! The shirts we have now will remain the same price, but sometime in 2012 we are going to have to raise prices. We stocked up when the price was still low, so it will be awhile for most designs.

We had to raise the cost of shipping by a dollar. When possible we try to use a USPS flat rate box for $4.95 with 70¢ added for tracking. We can always get one shirt in, usually two, unless they are both bigger sizes. Shipping when you order only buttons or magnets is now free.

Don’t you need one last gift for the holidays?

There are three main pages we sell from: tshirts, buttons, and sales.  All of the Teddy tshirt designs are on the tshirt page. All the buttons and as we add them – magnets – are on the button page. On the sale page are the shirts we still have from the Nth degree and other uncategorized items like a tote bags. Hopefully coming soon we will have bumper stickers again – we are trying to find an affordable way to make them.

We can design a button on a few days notice and get you a hundred of them a day later. Our friend Rich is great at turning your idea into a button of beauty. We give you a bargain price, too, when you buy a large quantity of buttons. Call us for a price.

All buttons are priced at $3.00. All button magnets at $4.00. Both buttons and magnets ship free.
