Welcome & Greetings!
On this website is information about my Graphic Design and Illustration Products & Services.
Included are
links for and information about my Online Stores
What's New - on this
website and regarding my business. Be sure also to see the blog just below.
The Once-Upon-a-Time Weekly Wazzup
-
Indulging and enjoying myself here, and I hope you are,
too. (Rather Retro at this point, especially the
newsy stuff.)
Do you use Yahoo
Messenger? You may be able to contact me online (chmbiz) ==>
Click on the "silver" button to get to this general Blog which will
be summarizing the store and website news just below (see "What's
New" on this Page), as well as what's up on the
Wazzup Page. The
blog is likely to be
updated more quickly and frequently than this website. Check it
out. Yes, the blog feed embedded is out of date - this will be
fixed in the coming week. Probably something due to Google's
upgrading its Blogger or Feedburner making changes I wasn't aware of
screwed things up. I just noticed! (My bad.) Do visit
the blog regardless, although it is under construction right now (that
Google Blogger upgrade business...).
What's New[as
of 8/4/2008]
<------ the development of a new version of this site (okay,
yes, it's taking forever...) - be sure
to check my blogs, please. (See the button above for access to the
CHM Biz News Blog, also http://wazzup-chm.blogspot.com)
NEW on this Website...
SPECIAL NOTE!
That I have Adobe/Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 now
(Fie on Microsoft FrontPage!) and have started work on a new website for
this same URL. At the same time, this website will continue to be
up and running at this same URL. I continue to add the "Bad Music
Joke of the Week" - see link on theWazzup Page, or go directly to theMusic Humor Page.
You may also occasionally see other items of interest added here during
the construction of the new site.
The Blog buttons will continue to be current, as well as most of the links.
<-----------
The blog button - the "silver" one above, plus
others you see around this website are still valid and active.
I unlinked the Groovy Ladies Page - at least
for now - and have been removing links throughout this website - and
elsewhere - to its related now-defunct store
"For Women Old Enough to Know Better"
As always, keep an eye on Sales & Features.
Look for Popular Products sales and features. And, stuff for
Holidays. And the "NEW NEW NEW" section (new graphics and new
merchandise).
The Premium Store "For Women Old Enough to
Know Better" has been closed.
The Groovy Ladies have retired. The Groovy Lady Blog still exists
- its future is undecided for now. The store was doing fine -
paying its way, successful, and all - but I think it's easier for my
customers and for me if all my merchandise is under one store roof (so
to speak). I know it's better for me. The graphics and merch
you know and love will still be found in Music Stuff & More at both
CafePress and
Zazzle.
IntroducingMusic Stuff &
More store @ Zazzle!
Some of the music (& more) graphics you've known and loved from
CafePress, but available on many other merchandise, such as key chains -
and, very cool, Ked shoes. (I'm already getting raves for my
Beethoven shoes.) This Zazzle store is also an app on my Facebook
Profile, BTW. This is a brand-new store, so there's not yet much in
it, look for more RSN.
Look for more new line artwork from me on this website on the
Line Artwork Page after I get caught up
with my store development - and clients. Added 3/24/07:
Which won't be happening anytime soon, frankly, since I'm not even
close to being all caught up with either store development or client
work! I will make it known - here, on the general blog above,
in Yahoo Groups, etc. - when there is new line artwork available.
For more information about this see
"Other Graphic
Design Products & Services."
The CafePress products are from high-quality, name-brand
manufacturers (such as Hanes) and are backed by CafePress's excellent
customer service, easy return, and money-back guarantee.

musician's delight - find a whole lot of music merchandise, of all

favorite musical instrument here. One of the biggest sellers

clients. In 2007 [and 2008] my business focus will be on the retail side of my
