ZAZZLE
My designs, art and jokes available for purchase as products, novelty gifts and home decor via zazzle.com.
HOW IT WORKS
I create unique designs and artwork, then apply them to products on zazzle. I position them for best printing results, without cropping etc, then I add them to my store. Zazzle handles the purchase, printing and delivery and gives me a small royalty from each design sold.
My brother, husband and children will testify to the fact that I have spent many years frequently blurting out, "I should put that on a t-shirt!". Now I finally have the means to. And I'm hoping someone will like my quirky sense of humor or my pretty pictures enough to buy them and wear them, or hang them on their wall or whatever.
There are tons of great gift ideas, and I keep the jokes clean. No sweary words or rude innuendo. It's just not my style. There may be some fun poking, in love, but that's ok. My family always told me, "we tease you because we love you", and after several years of therapy, I'm totally ok with it (kidding Mum, don't worry. It was only like a year of therapy. No biggie.).
THE SARCASTIC KITCHEN
Sometimes I wonder if we're the only weird ones. I imagine other families, sitting boringly around the table, eating healthy food with perfect faces and delightful manners, the sound of cutlery politely scraping on plates and the occasional, "Pass the salt please" and "Thanks, this is delicious". How boring.
If your family is anything like ours, you'll relate more to my Sarcastic Kitchen products. Our meal times are anything but boring. Our commonly uttered meal time phrases are more likely to be, "No son, we're supposed to sit on chairs with our bottoms, not our ears" than "please sir, may I have some more". And I like it that way.
Something about food is innately social, and whenever there are people getting together and conversing, there's great opportunity for drama. which means there's also great opportunity for jokes to lighten the tension.
Take the edge off of the complaining, the pressure, the noise, the demands and exhaustion with some passive aggressive, funny and quirky phrases printed on household products. They are decorative, and delightfully cheeky.
DOULA BOUTIQUE
Ok I know this is niche and I don't exactly expect this to become a top seller for me. But I am passionate about birth. And doulas are awesome. Seriously, I've never met one I didn't like. I think being around the miracle of birth makes some kind of pixie magic rub off on them and they turn into incredible people. Anyway, the thing is, I love painting maternity, and doulas tend to appreciate the beauty of birth, so I wanted to make some unique designs that they can use for their business promotion or gifts.
What sorts of things are in The Doula Boutique?
- Maternity prints for the office or home
- Business cards for doulas and midwives
- Birth affirmation cards to give or loan out to clients
- Bumper stickers and t-shirts for great conversation starters and networking opportunities
- Novelty gifts, a great way to say THANK YOU to your own doula after your birth
I hope you enjoy browsing, and please share on pinterest, post on your birth circles and share with word of mouth.

ETSY
I received the advice, "You should put your stuff up on Etsy" far too often to ignore any longer. So I did it. That wasn't a very dramatic story, but it's all true.
So I have an Etsy store and I hope you'll check it out. There are so many fabulous stores and sellers on Etsy, I do feel a little bit like a small fish in a massive pond, which was probably the main reason for my reluctance. But I believe I have some unique offerings to add to the pool.
What will we find there?
My Etsy store is the place to go for printable versions of my artwork and designs. If you don't wish to order actual products from Zazzle, but like the look of the design, download my files and print at home, or send to your printer. That way you can make several copies and give some as gifts.
I also sell my art and design services via Etsy, or you can order directly though me and pay via paypal.
From time to time, I add actual hand made physical items to my store, and I have some plans to expand that area, so watch this space.
