Back to the grind....

okay, i am sure there are plenty of peeps cursing me wondering where the heck i am....sorry but our yearly family beach vacation was this past week and because i have spent my last year (well 2 years) serving all my great loyal customers....my family deserved me this week=)...really i do get wrapped up in this growing biz sometimes too much and it was their turn....i worked non stop till 5:30 am the 3 nights before leaving and did all that i possibly could and just had to stop, pack and leave....now i am back and will pick right back where i left off and i do apologize to any who have been hunting me down but our beachhouse has spotty wireless connections and by mid week NO WIRELESS CONNECTION (not always such a bad thing but it does drive me batty=)....soooo we met up w/ a fellow photographer i met at my last rosemary beach trunk show at Gigi's and she shot our family as i am NEVER in any of our family pics bc i am always "behind the lens"....which yes i do prefer but i also want the kiddos to believe me that i did go on vacation w/them all these years....anyway, she is great and one of my favorite photographers out there (she and sheye rosemeyer are at the top of my lists!)....here is the link to our sneak peek...just thought i'd share:

A Fresh New Look For Em Tanner Designs!...

I just love the simplicity and "to the point" of this new logo! Knew i needed a new one as i am not so into the "paper"or photography part of the biz these days-so that girl w/the camera is out of place AND i probably do AS MANY if not MORE boys tees than girls....soooo why do i always put a girl on the bag tags?? yep i am a little bassackwards sometimes...oh and on the new tags the 't' will be orange (yea for unisex)... and yes, i know we do other products as well but tees are THE MAIN SHABANG these days! and well...a few other underlying reasons...=)... And of course the "original" funky t had to make it's way on there! Anywho...I just am really happy w/how it turned out and honestly just wanted to post it on here to see if i liked it as much "on screen"...ha! back to work work work....working the old ars off (well i wish i was "working it OFF")...Later.

Where to Begin....whew...Oprah, designers on the rise!

okay, really it's been WAAAAYYYY too long...lots of excitement on the homefront that i never got a chance to catch up on blogging about.....first check out the spring Designers on the Rise on stylebakery.com:
http://www.stylebakery.com/stylerecipes/spring08/dor/dor_babies_kids_moms.html
cool style site....they work w/ABC and the view on style stuff....sooo needless to say i was flattered when they asked Em Tanner designs to be a "designer on the rise" for the next 6 mos!

Next....never mentioned my tees were on OPRAH! And no, i am not implying that they are one of "oprah's favorite things"....just the simple fact that they were on there is exciting enough to me..i mean how often do you get calls/emails out the wazoo saying "OMG i saw your tees on Oprah"....?And of course, i didnt remember to watch so i missed it-or actually i was at disney world....ill catch it next time around though....It was wierd when i was watching the Today show and saw my tees when i had no clue they would be flashed on there....it's just exciting...so i really want to catch this "Montage of big sis/lil sis/lil bro...." (as it was described to me)!

Okay, those are just a couple tid bits on the biz homefront....not even close to all of it but i gotta run and work on the site...working my butt off on the site, swatches, the whole nine yards and i am sooo not there yet but i can see the light at the end of the tunnel....after a year of pure hell and hard work....and honestly i always felt confident in my products but never in my wildest dreams did i think so many people would find me...the website is actually "ranked" as far as unique users per month....so needless to say i am CRAZY....CRAZY busy so everyone who needs stuff from me....please dont hate me (you too mom) just know that i am literally working as hard as my crazy self possibly can...many nights watching the sun come up...sleep is overrated when you are on a mission! more soon! egt
