We are excited about the makeover and have new products on the horizon. Our rain cuffs are ready to roll available in 4 great colors and just in time for rainy season. Karma-Grams are now available in a package set of karma-grams, lunch-grams, love-grams and wish-grams. This makes a great gift for you or someone else because it keeps on giving. 26 cards total make it possible to send good grams to everyone you love. I love creating new brands and products and the two that are on the horizon have me totally excited. I can't wait to show them both to everyone! Soon!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3420636733903599138-1664380103905279574?l=violetgumdrop.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Darcee Matlenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15375510049283823570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420636733903599138.post-55381171322020713732011-04-20T07:37:00.000-07:002011-04-20T07:43:39.519-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DQz1Qd671RU/Ta7w7A9ChII/AAAAAAAAAF0/WsBPar5rnAw/s1600/YAK.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 146px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597676283527070850" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DQz1Qd671RU/Ta7w7A9ChII/AAAAAAAAAF0/WsBPar5rnAw/s320/YAK.jpg" /></a><br />Rain Cuffs were featured this week on Yakaboutit.com, a cool site that showcases unique inventions.

Since then, Matlen’s added finds created by other artists to her line <a href="http://www.cutesyandcool.com/">Cutesyandcool.com</a> (check it out for whimsical bags, tees, bibs and jewelry, like these owl earrings, shown). </p> <p>And just this January, Matlen said, she introduced her own line, <a href="http://www.karmagrams.com/">Karmagrams.com</a>. Send good karma, lunch grams (stick a sweet note in your kids’ lunchbox), love grams, wish grams and more with the<br />postcard packs of six to eight, replete with karma confetti to sprinkle inside the envelope.
