Hi everyone Cat here, we know we are really behind here on our page. There is a ton of work here to catch up on and right now we don't even know where to begin. I've been really sick the past few weeks, and I'm trying hard to not let it get me down. We've added 2 more new store's with a ton of new designs as well. You can now find us over on Redbubble and we just added a few new stores, over at Print All Over Me. Right this moment we are working on some new Spring / Easter Apparel for women and kids. See even if we haven't kept up here we have been very very busy. James has also been working on some new design's as well. Watch for updates soon on the store section of this blog. We hope everyone had a wonderful month and is as ready for spring as we are here. More coming soon ~ Cat

Happy New Year Everyone
We hope you had a great holiday season this past year. We want to thank all of those who bought their holiday gifts through us. The beginning of the year was really slow but the past 6 months it's been steady picking up for us. And it's thanks to all of you that have purchased, shared, and followed our art and our lives. We would be here doing what we love the most if it wasn't for our followers. Thank you all! We keep working hard, adding new things each and every day. We decided for the New Year we'd start it off with going up a little bit more. Our New Year's resolution here is to be even bigger and better next year this time. And we are more than willing to put in the work to do it. We have just launched a brand new store today on Redbubble. You can find our new store here: J&C CREATIONS We picked Redbubble because of all kinds of different products we didn't carry before. We hope you stop in and say hello. We will be adding more of our designs over the next few weeks. Hi everyone. We are just stopping in to let you know about some of the changes to our site.

Wow time flies by so fast and we are so sorry we have gotten this far behind. We have been doing a lot of work in the background. We have all kinds of new things to show you and since we are so far behind plan on seeing all kinds of new posts here in the next few days to make up for it all. Our stores have been picking up so much so that we finally made it to Zazzle's Basic Pro Seller. And our Society6 stores sales have been picking up as well. Thank you to all of you that have supported and followed us over the past few years. Without out you all we would not be where we are now. We are not to the point where James can quit his day job but it's all picking up. In the last 3 months we have had more sales than in the whole year and a half since we started the store's. So that tell's us we are getting out there more and what we are doing is working :) Now just to step it up some more by adding more products etc etc. One day we will reach our dreams and we are not going to stop until we do, well lol that's not quite true, we love what we do I don't think we will ever ever stop creating art in some way or another it's in our veins. Are you ready for all the new design's we have to show you? Here they come.................
Hi everyone Cat here. It's been a rough 2 months for me here and I'm a bit...
No that's not true, really a-lot behind here. We've added some new things to our Society6 store and I've gotten a few of the things I wanted to get done for spring and summer in our Zazzle store, but not anywhere where I'd thought I'd be right about now. And our CafePress store omg covers eye's, needs so much more work yet. I started a YouTube Channel and a Google+ page for our Meow Cats. Meanwhile James has been drawing away and I now have a bunch of new seaside designs to work with as well. Summer and Mr. Sunshine need to get here soon so I can feel better and get all kinds of new things up for everyone. When I do get stuck in bed there is only a few things I can get done. I don't have a laptop but I do have a little phone that lets me play some. The text is to small for me to use but I can get on Google+ and Pinterest with it. Yes I am a total Pinterest addict. You can find our boards here J&C Creations. We have a huge variety of boards there from both our own products to other's as well. We also have quite a few community boards there as well. If your a designer and have products on any of the POD site's and would like to be added to one of our community boards. Please feel free to add your pinterest page in the comments here with what board you would like added to, or send us a message on Pinterest as well. Eventually I plan on featuring some other friends things here as well. This blog has been slow getting started and along with every thing else my health has gotten me behind. As I feel better I plan on a lot more than one post a month here and there. I have Big plans here and thank you for joining us & keeping patient with us as we find our way there. Hello everyone sorry we have been so quiet here the past month. Things got really rough here financially and the weather here wasn't much better. For those that do not know I have young onset parkinson's and dystonia. Both are progressive condition's and they get worse year after year. For me it's been 9 years now. Winter and cold is not a friend for me and this winter really took it's toll. This page is about our business but at the same time it is also about us as a family as well. That includes my illness and our rescued babies as well. While we won't post every day about what I go through etc with my illness, sometimes we will talk about it here once in awhile. One reason is just simply for awareness of what Parkinson's and Dystonia is and what it does. Over the past 9 years one thing that has surprised me the most is that so many have no idea what either of these illness are or how they affect the people that have them. Unless you say Micheal J Fox or they have someone in their family that has it, people have not a clue what these illness are. The biggest misconception is that you have to be old to have parkinson's. Not true at all. I was 42 when diagnosed with this, my mother was also in her 40's and had it for over 20 years before she passed. This is not just an older person's illness, over the years I ran into people in even their teens that have it. The other big misconception I've come across is that parkinson's is only about having tremors. Again not true. Parkinson's can cause you to have many different health problems depending on the person. No person is the same it affects every one of us in a different way. Some with PD never have tremors at all. Dystonia is another monster in itself. A lot of people that have parkinson's also have Dystonia, but you do not have to have PD to have it either. There are many different types of Dystonia. Mine is called General Dystonia because it affects me all over. Dystonia cause extreme muscle spasms, that twist and pull. They can last from minutes to days. Think of your worst ever Charley horse and than imagine instead of just your toes it's in your arms, legs, ribs etc and instead of it last just a bit it goes on for hours and days at a time. I get it worse in my legs than anywhere else, sometimes to the point that they are so twisted I cannot walk on my own. The cold this past month made this all worse for me than normal but I got through it and hopefully spring is on it's way soon. If you'd like to know more about these illness please check out the sites listed at the bottom of this post for more information. I promise to try to not be such a stranger and post more here in the weeks to come. Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day. Stay warm, more to come soon.
http://www.parkinson.org/Parkinson-s-Disease/Young-Onset-Parkinsons http://www.dystonia-parkinsons.org/what-is-dystonia We decided to take a tiny break from the cute love things and do a bit of fantasy things. Those that have followed us from the beginning know that we tend to travel from one side of the spectrum to the next. One minute we will be doing Mandala's and the next Skull's than the next something cute and adorable. We try to mix it all up it's one of the things that keeps us original and never boring. These next few pieces are a combination of both sides of us when it comes to fantasy. Who doesn't love gnomes, pixies and dragon's. We plan on doing many more pieces like these in the future. Our Moonlit pixie is being featured only over in our #Society6 store right now. She will be added to other store's in the future but for now you can find here on all kinds of things here. From Pillows, to Duvets, Rugs, iPhone Case's and more. Like this wonderful Framed Print. I could really see someone decorating a little girls room with this awesome piece. We are slowly adding these into our #CafePress Store. We made a new section called simply Fantasy, in here you will also find some of our older design's like our Phoenix Rising and Chinese Dragon and our Steampunk Cat as well as these new one's. Our cute little gnome added on Pillows, Apparel, Drinkware and more. You will also find our new Fantasy Dragon in 3 different shade's on CafePress as well. There is all kinds of Apparel and for the home products available as well. Should we do more shade's? Comment here and let us know we'd love the feedback. And last but not least in our #Zazzle store there is all kinds of new things as well. Such as these. We plan on doing a lot more fantasy design's in the future. I once read somewhere that when your designing the way we are it's best to always work at least 2 months ahead of a holiday. So far I think I needed more like 3 or 4 to get ready. But for the past few weeks we have been working like crazy on the next big one Valentines Day. In the process we found that many of our designs we have done so far also fit in perfect for other things like engagements, weddings, anniversary, Sweetest Day .... You get the idea any thing that has to do with love in general. So far we have added 6 new sections to our CafePress store in our Brand new category there LOVE. So far we only have our adorable lovebirds added there but we promise we will be adding our cute mouse couple as well here soon. These are a few of the wonderful things you will find there now. Woman's & Baby Apparel Bags & Accessories And much more. And in our Zazzle Store we've added all kinds of things that can also be personalized. What a great special gift idea for someone you love. Like these: Hope you enjoy we will have a whole lot more in the days to come.
