        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So CafePress finally got my shirt right (on the third try).  That said, their customer service is great and I'm quite happy that I can walk around work with a shirt that proudly declares "Alistair Approves (+10)."  :D  Just in time for Awakenings, too.<br /><br />Since I know now that they'll take care of their customers, I upgraded my store and put up a TON of new designs with more on the way.  I was getting frustrated with having to limit my products so much.  They only let you use each product once with the free store, so now you have a lot more choices.  I'm leaving the old GreyWardenWear store up for the moment in case anyone had the same problem  ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ I just received my Alistair Approves (+10) shirt yesterday.  The heart in the background was white instead of the dark gold color and there was a white glow around the whole design.  They insist was an error on their part and are sending me another.  If anyone else has this problem please let me know.  I hope it was just mine. :( ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Finished a few button sets that have been kicking around for a while.  Think I'll probably take a break for a bit, at least until my Fibromyalgia settles down.  Among other things, my hands hurt up to my elbows.  :(<br /><br />In kind of a writing mood...I might tinker with that a bit. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Added most of my completed buttons sets that I have for sale in my ebay store PushMyButton.  I'm always up for custom buttons as well, so feel free to ask!<br /><br />I'm still trying to get a decent picture of the charm bracelets with the buttons.  Taking pictures of something that small and reflective is not fun, but I will not be defeated. :)  (Hopefully) coming soon! ]]></media:text>
