If you're going to hold a sign, make sure people can actually read it.

I saw a crowd at the courthouse this weekend and assumed it was a protest, but honestly, couldn't tell what the cause was. Whatever your endeavor, your message deserves to be seen clearly.

We produce clean, crisp, and highly legible signs and banners in any size. Don't let bad signage ruin your next event. Call us today to get started on your custom prints!

Proof that we have the best customers around: Becky from the Grundy County Democrats not only took care of their payment, but also brought us fresh baked cookies! Thank you so much! (Note: We would have posted a picture of the cookies, but they didn't last long enough to find a camera)

So I got on here earlier to make a post and saw all sorts of people marketing magic weight loss products. It inspired me to share my own story.

For years, I have struggled with weight. I tried everything—but nothing worked.

I recently went on vacation and between the restaurants and gas station snacks I gained 10 pounds. That’s when I decided to start my journey a week ago, and my life has officially changed.

I finally took the plunge. I stopped listening to the noise and decided to invest in myself. And let me tell you... the results speak for themselves.

I am so excited to announce that I am down zero pounds, but I am officially up 8 shirt sizes!

Look, I know there is a lot of judgment out there about taking the easy way out. People will say, "Are you sure you want to go straight to an 10XL?" or "Shouldn't you try a 3XL first?" But I had to do what was right for my body and my peace of mind.

The results? Absolutely incredible.
No side effects
No hunger. I just eat what I want, when I want.
My bank account hurts less because a new shirt costs way less than a prescription.

The constant restriction is over. No more holding my breath during meetings. No more fear buttons flying off like shrapnel. Just pure, comfort.

If you are on the fence about making the switch, this is your sign. Shoot us a message and we can help you get started on your journey.

You deserve to breathe. Stop shrinking yourself to fit into your clothes—just buy bigger clothes!

Just to clarify, this post was total parody making fun of all the "miracle weight loss" trends. The actual formula is simple (but tough): Eat a calorie deficit. Oh, and for anyone wondering—yes, the shirt in the photo actually is a 10XL short sleeve. Feel free to stop by the shop and try it on for yourself!

We get asked for a donation or sponsorship at least every other day. I would love to support every single cause that comes through our doors, but the reality is simple: small businesses need support to give support. Our cash flow isn’t infinite.

We truly love giving back to the people and organizations who back us. So, before you drop by or message us asking for a gift card, sponsorship, or donation, ask yourself one quick question: Do you actually shop here?

If you don’t support our business, we won’t be donating to your cause. Also, if your request uses a professionally printed flyer we could have printed, and you didn't even ask us to quote it? That’s an easy pass. So, a quick rule of thumb for anyone asking us for a contribution: Do you support us? If the answer is no, please don't expect a yes from us.

Special shoutout to the place that ships out all its photography, yard signs, banners, and a majority of apparel orders to outside companies, and then sends my own kids into our shop with outside-printed cards asking us to fund them. Well played! That is some truly evil-genius level manipulation.

I actually had someone else scheduled to take over the page today! But between cross country, softball, tennis, vacation, and being crowned Homecoming Queen, she’s been a little busy lately.

So, you’re stuck settling for me instead. It was a struggle to find a photo of myself, the most recent one I could even track down was all the way back from State Track. Hope this works!

It’s Homecoming week in GC!

We had the opportunity to create the Powder Puff shirts for each class this year. I initially thought about ranking them by design, color, or how easy they were to print—but since art is subjective, I decided to let the numbers do the talking.

This ranking isn't based on bias or personal taste. It is a true reflection of pure personal responsibility, measured by one metric: late orders.

Knowing how these things usually go, I ordered extras in every single size. Here is how the classes stacked up:

Freshmen: We gave them an extra day to get their orders in, so they are officially excluded from the running.

Seniors: Used up every single one of their extra shirts.

Sophomores: Used up all of their extras... plus one more.

Juniors: NOT A SINGLE LATE ORDER!

Huge congratulations to the Juniors for being the most organized class of students and parents this year!

Can someone please direct me to which bank holds the Junior Class Prom Fund? I would love to reward this level of responsibility with a little contribution!

It turns out the social media algorithms (and people) love a good disaster.

I’ve noticed a pattern here: when I post about positive updates, fundraisers, or new products... crickets. Maybe people see it and don’t like or comment (Mom), but that’s about it. But the second there is a setback, a name change, or a closing announcement? Maximum engagement.

So, to play the algorithm game and get you to actually see this post, here is a healthy dose of recent bad news:

Tax & Utility Hikes: Property taxes jumped again, and I just paid the highest utility bill in recent memory. (Also, to whoever from the utility company took the power block for my home signal booster while unhooking my cable —I’d like that back).

The Parking Lot Lake: Money meant for new shop equipment had to be redirected to fix parking lot drainage. Thanks to the rain, the project is paused, and our lot has officially graduated from a river to a lake.

Medical Madness: I got a band-aid at a recent doctor visit. Checked the insurance breakdown: they billed $156 for it. No wonder premiums are through the roof.

Postal Increases: A massive postal rate hike hit the Shopper, meaning both of our September issues ran at a loss.

Now that we have enough bad news to officially capture your attention, here is the actual point of this post:

We have restocked our showroom! Come check out our brand-new tees, crews, pocket crews, hoodies, and even some raincoats.

We also have a few extra GCXC and DNH Football shirts available if you missed the original order deadline. Stop by!
