Michelle was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2011 and declared cancer-free in June 2012, and this will be the 2nd year she’ll be walking 39.3 miles with Avon over 2 days with her mother and bestest friends.

(You can probably guess, then, that clicking the links here throws some affiliate coin my way, but – as always – I’d never send you to something I don’t stand behind fully. And I stand behind this, so fully that I’m buying one for myself. I mean, have you seen that Alexandra Franzen, Tara Gentile, Pam Slim, Jonathan Mead, Pace & Kylei, and Charlie Gilkey are all here?). Fon’t wait for me to give you another nudge.

The Multi-Passionate Must-Haves sale will be gone at midnight Thursday, so check it out now. Your creative, multi-passionate life awaits!

We'll be back when we're back

Mon, 17 Sep 2012 12:02:57 -0400

So I’m going to stop saying distro will be back online around X date, because that’s clearly getting silly. I’ve been away, life gets in the way, not always very well, etc. It’ll be back when it’s back; I need to take the pressure off me. Sorry ya’ll for all the faffing :(

Facebook, twitter and tumblr will be the first to hear when it’s back!

Lists of stuff and things: Microcosm Distribution makes custom buttons now, eh?

Lists of stuff and things: Microcosm Distribution makes custom buttons now, eh?:

alexwrekk:

I think that the the Microcosm Publishing/Distribution split is a laughable attempt at change, but I don’t really care enough about it to spend much time on it. They still support and carry Microcosm Publishing titles so I still see them as supporters and apologists for Joe Biel.

What I found today annoys me. Apparently Microcosm Distribution makes custom buttons. Microcosm Publishing didn’t and doesn’t make custom buttons since I left. Do you know why? Because I was the one who made custom buttons when I worked there and when I left Microcosm and divorced Joe there was an agreement that Microcosm would not make custom buttons and compete with my business. So, Microcosm Distribution is a totally different company? Great, I guess that means they don’t have to honor the agreements made by Microcosm Publishing.

If you would like to get custom buttons made by someone who has been doing this since 2000, you should follow me to my new project Portland Button Works.

Mon, 06 Aug 2012 18:19:03 -0400

After knowing I need to do it for YEARS, I’ve finally taken the plunge and changed website host and transfered the domain. I’m away a lot over the coming month, but hopefully I’ll be back early September with a super fancy new website, shopping cart system, customer logins/order history, integrated loyalty card, THE WORKS.

If it goes to plan, it’s going to make my life SO much easier and hopefully make the entire customer process so much slicker.

Watch this space!

Last day that all orders over £12 get a free distro tote bag!
