For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, next month will see the Autumn Equinox where day and night are equal lengths of time!

The Autumn Equinox, also known as Mabon, Harvest Home and the Feast of the Ingathering, is celebrated by various Pagan groups.  This year it occurs on Sunday 23rd September. 

To celebrate this I have added a few new designs to my store.  Here is a small collection:

Vote for Mental Infestation!!!

Yeah, I've not been on here in months!  It's really bad, but I keep running out of time to do everything I need to!

So!  I've updated my store www.cafepress.com/mentalinfest because I had a few customers telling me they found it difficult to find what they were looking for.  So I'm hoping the new layout is a little bit easier (I'm still tweaking bits of it).  There's a feedback box on there, so if you do take a look, please let me know what you think of the new layout, designs etc!

There are LOADS of new designs up, and I'm still getting up some of the older designs that were needing revamped!  Here is a very small selection of the new bits and pieces!

In the next month or so, Cafepress are discontinuing some forms of apparel.  These will be:

Postage Pals (discontinued on the 9th of May)
Blue Trucker Hats (discontinued on the 8th of June)
Jr. Baby Doll Tshirts (discontinued on the 8th of June)
Camisoles (discontinued on the 8th of June)

After these dates, the above named items will no longer be available!

To coincide with this, I have reduced ALL Mental Infestation designs on ALL the above items.  I know a couple of them are very popular, and I wanted to give everyone a chance to snap these up before they're gone forever!  They can all be found in the Sale section of the store at:

So I've been trying to find more and more places to promote my store.  Sales in January were pretty bad compaired to the months before, so I've been looking for new ways of getting my name out there!

I found a website called Fun T-shirts, who have 100 places for Cafepress stores to post up a banner (66 of the places have now gone, but if you do use Cafepress, then make sure you get yourself on there!).  Once you have your banner up, you can have people vote for your store and the more votes you get, the higher you are on the list. 

All I'm asking you to do is to go here and click the vote for Mental Infestation button.  You don't need to sign up to anything, sell your soul etc, you just need to click the button to register your vote!

Thanks!

So yeah, I signed up to Squidoo in September, around the same time as I set up this Vox account.  I had totally forgotten about it until the other day, so I decided I better take a look at it and see what it actually did!

Well it looks like an alright website.  It means I can advertise my Cafepress store in an effective way, it looks fairly nicely laid out too.  I know a lot of people on Cafepress use Squidoo to advertise there stuff, but I have no idea how effective it actually is!

I'm just going to have to see how my sales develope I guess.  Sales for January were very poor, so I'm hoping it will give February a bit of a boost!

This is my profile address: http://www.squidoo.com/cafepress/mentalinfestation so please give it a rating to let me know what you think!
