As far as the shirt designs go:
I've briefly talked about this with Beth, but she's off to DL, so I'll just tell you my two cents.
I think we'll go ahead and keep the link to the stock designs I did, but lets face it. We KNOW that we can make something cute using stock images, and we already have a couple cute ones to choose from. But I really think it would be cool if someone came up with some awesome custom shirt design, you know what I mean? It could be totally unique! And once I got over my dumb ego (sorry for that), and could look at it from the "groups" perspective and not a "me" perspective, I realized that I WANT A COOL CUSTOM shirt.
So I'm asking any of you artistic ladies, your artistic friends, and DangerMouse's hubby

, if any of you (or at least one of you) would take a little time to come up with something for us.
I think we should have a shirt design chosen by late January because it could take some time getting the design proofed, getting all the different sizes and names marked, organizing a way for payment, putting in an order, having the shirts printed, boxed, and then shipped. It could all take several weeks.
And of course you can order two shirts if you want, but lets wait and see what the cost will be per person for a custom shirt, and then if it's still in the budget, we can go for two shirts!
So, how does that sound to everyone? I think it's a win-win!!!
