personalized ribbons on cafe press

[DeannaShoemaker]

Still waiting to see Payton's ribbon on the cafe press site so I can order some personalized items, is there a problem????? :(

[Corin Nava]

Deanna- I would try emailing Dawn. She probably hasn't finished putting them up yet-I know she has a lot going on. If you email her and let her know you want to order some things I'm sure she will work on it for you soon! :)

[Dawn Torrence Ireland]

Barb is the one who was doing the ribbons and she's been in the hospital with pneumonia, collapsed lungs, etc so she's been a little busy. Send me your photo and info, Deanna and I'll do it. membership@cherubs-cdh.org

[Corin Nava]

Dawn-I think she has already had the ribbon done-she wants it put up on cafe press store :)

[Dawn Torrence Ireland]

Oh, ok, then I need the ribbon to add it. Deanna, please send it to me.

[katrinaenglish]

Dawn, I know you're so so so so busy this week, and Shane's anniversary day is on Thursday, so if you can't get to this right away, that's OK.
But I sent you a PM the other day about getting my son's ribbon made, so that I can order items from cafepress. I will e-mail you the info and picture. I hope you get it. But like I said, don't go out of your way if you don't have time for it right away. I totally understand, you're going through a lot right now!!!

Thanks a million!

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Deanna I will send your ribbon to Dawn tonight to get added to the store.

Katrina....I will get your ribbon done tonight. I am trying to get caught up on the computer since I have been home from the hospital....also limited to time (darn hubby!) that I am allowed on the puter is nor helping!!! LOL

Please understand that we are not ignoring e-mails or anything.....we have just all been hit with so many problems and all at once it seems!! Wow has it been crazy!! Once we got thru the Angel Ball, Conference and Golf Tourney (sigh) then BAD BAD things started......Steph's Nephews accident, Dawn and all being frazzled and worked due to the Awareness Trademark, then me breaking my ribs and going in the hospital.......we never have so many people out of the "loop" I guess at ONCE!! geez!! So......keep us all in your thoughts and hopefully this bad business (lol) is done and over darn it!!

Barb

[katrinaenglish]

Thanks so much Barb and Dawn, and everyone helping each other out!
You're all the best, and we all appreciate all your time and effort.

[Corin Nava]

Barb-you mean that you didn't have time in the hospital to get some work done?! Geez-you slacker :) Just kidding-we all love you! Get some rest girl, you need it!!!!

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

LOL Corin! I am hoping that I DID NOT do any work while in the hospital!!! Especially since I do not remember much about what I did in the hospital.....way to much happy juice....YIKES!! Shane is still telling me about "deals" that I made him while I was there. I really like the deals that include money......bribing little brat! rofl

Barb

[Corin Nava]

OK so if anyone got a ribbon with the picture upside down we will know it's because of your happy juice ;) lol

[DeannaShoemaker]

I hope I did not ruffle any feathers, :( I know you all have been busy, stresses, and illness. I just thought it got sent to Dawn after it was made and thought maybe there was a problem that I was not aware of. Thanks for the updates and I hope all is well with you Barb and Dawn, I continue to keep you all in my prayers....and Corin I have not forgot about your ornament, just I also have had some issues of my own, nothing serious, just taking up some of my time....it will be coming as soon as I get this taken care of, and also Dawn did you get Payton's story for the year book? I had e mailed you about that in the past too. I will send you her ribbon so it can be put on the cafe press, I can't wait to order some items for the holidays.

Thanks so much everyone...... :bravo:

[DeannaShoemaker]

Oh, the blonde again, Barb you did say you were sending the ribbon to Dawn.....it's amazing what lack of sleep does to the mind...........

[Corin Nava]

Deanna-don't worry about the ornament! If you have time to do it thats wonderful, but if you don't thats ok too. I could always get one for next year from you :)

Also, don't worry about "ruffling feathers" :) It's good to ask the questions!!!!

[DeannaShoemaker]

Thanks Corin..........your a sweetie......I'm determined to get past this mild hurdle.....I have several to make for friends and family too.....if only life were easy..lol

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

No feathers ruffled here....just ribs! LOL

Katie you should have your ribbons.

Deanna I have e-mailed Dawn yours (yours too Katie!)

Barb

[DeannaShoemaker]

Barb you always make me laugh.......thank you

[katrinaenglish]

Barb:

Thanks so much! I love Henry's Ribbon. :D

I have sent the ribbons to the donations@cherubs-cdh.org address, so is that all I need to do to have the ribbon available on cafepress items?

Also, I am such a non-computer-literate-person----How do I add the ribbon it to my signature???

THANKS AGAIN!

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Katie I sent yours to Dawn also LOL so now we KNOW she has it! HEHEHEHe

2. scroll down to the small ribbon

3. right click on it and select SAVE PICTURE AS

4. a new box opens....u can select which folder to put the pic in....just remember which one!

5. Click save

6. go to photobucket.com and sign in....this even works with Imageshack

Me too, me too.......... :D

[DeborahThompson]

Barb, Can you resend me Amaiya's small ribbon. You sent me and large and small, but the small one was of another baby. Also, can her pic be added to cafepress also? Thanks! Everyone loves the awareness ribbon!
p.s. I made the ribbon and used the lanyard! We are going to use them for the walk/tree planting ceremony in October at U of M hosp.

[Dawn Torrence Ireland]

I uploaded 15 ribbons today to Cafepress.... pretty much all I got done today but we've got a lot to add still. I know everyone wants them up in time to order holiday gifts so I will try my best to have them all up by October 31st.

[DeannaShoemaker]

I'm so totally excited.............thanks so very much.................

[katrinaenglish]

Thanks so much. Can't wait to order some shirts! :D

[DanielleKessner]

When you go to http://www.cafepress.com/cherubs/5842791 it says:
If you would like a personalized ribbon for your CDH child please e-mail your cherubs name, date(s) and photograph to ribbons@cdhsupport.org
One of the Aussie members sent an email to that address and it bounced back with:
(reason: 550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1))
Which email address should the requests be sent to?
Dawn, can you please update the above info so that you don't lose potential customers :-)
Thanks xxx
