Ok ladies. A while back I had a t-shirt made for myself that I wear periodicaly when I am out and about, trying to promote me and my PC. I have had A TON of response from it. Got most of my Nov bookings from it and I think I actually may have my very first recruit!! (not holding my breath...)

Anyways, I was asked by a couple of you what it would take to order them. Well here is the scoop. I can get them on white ladies t-shirts in sm, med. lrg and x-lrg. The text is black as is the image. The front says "Got Chef?" On the back is "Ask ne how..." along with an image of a woman. You can have the shirt without the graphic (woman) or with, your choice. Each shirt would be $20.00 + s/h. My DH has designed them. He did such a great job, thats the perks to being married to a graphic designer (and satellite tech by day...lol). Here they are...

The shirts are 100% cotton, Hanes Her Way-T preshrunk. They should fil comfortably. I got mine as an X-lg and it fit great and I am around a 14-16.

As soon as we have the finished product file, I will add the link as to where to get them! :p

A 2-XL shirt would be $22.00 and I can have them white, pink, yellow, grey or even Black with white writing. I think black shirts are $1.00 more.

$1.00 from each sale goes to TPC charity Second Harvest.

Scoop necks, poofy sleeves and bulgey fronts don't do much for my figure.

Now I'm picturing you in the "puffy shirt" from Seinfeld. :D

That is one area that I think VIP needs to work on: a few more men's options.

I have the white T-shirt. I'm all about the basics :) I am going to get one of those cap sleve shirts though, those are too cute, if I say so myself...:p
 
Very nice. Any thought about doing a long sleeve t-shirt one? I don't wear t-shirts.

I love cafepress. Last week I helped a friend get set up there and it was easy and fun.

As long as orders are coming in, I'll donate. This venture is not a money making vehicle for me. The price covers the cost of the shirts and the donation amount. I just figured us cheffers could use some fun publicity while wearing the shirts. I get stopped all of the time because of mine!
 
They look great!

Hey, Darby, could you add a hoodie that says the "got chef?" I could use one of those this time of year! VIP is just so expensive...

Ok all. I have compiled all your suggestions and have added the requested items to my store. Please take a look and order as many as you like. $1.00 from each sale goes to TPC Second Harvest. Thanks for all of the support and I KNOW you will get alot of response from these shirts. I love to wear mine to shows, shopping, events (fairs, etc). :)
 
We're just making you work so hard! Thanks for everything. :)
