Machine Wash Warm

Everyone probably has their favorite t-shirt, especially that old one that’s been washed a few times and is now soft and worn. Almost as good as putting on that favorite t-shirt is having the opportunity to help create some new favorites for various ministries. Two recent shirt designs were just that, and are now a couple of my favorites - after a few washings of course.

I’ve had a long-standing relationship with Stand True Ministries (www.standtrue.com) and actually a great friendship with Bryan. He’s given me an opportunity to design t-shirts and other various materials for the ministry over the past few years. This most recent design came from Bryan’s desire to have an “alternative logo” in contrast to the standard Stand True logo. So, waa-laa, a new shirt design was created.

Another ministry that has really been a blessing to me personally is Familyman Ministries (www.familymanweb.com) led by Todd Wilson. I like this ministry because it offers support for dads - dads who want to be the best husband and dad possible - befitting the Familyman motto, you ‘da dad. I can’t take credit for the concept, but thought it was such a great idea I decided to take it on as an entry for the Familyman t-shirt contest. So, again waa-laa, a new Dad-to-the-Bone t-shirt was created.

 

Both ministries offer the shirts for sale along with other great merchandise. So, go find yourself a new favorite t-shirt and remember, machine wash warm.

Growing up, a kid’s reputation could all hinge on whether or not he was – if not the fastest – one of the fastest kids on the playground. And if he couldn’t make that group, at least be friends with one of those stinkin’ fast kids. I’m pleased to say one of the fastest growing companies in the nation is in my own backyard – and one of my friends too! 

Agil IT (www.agilit.com) has been recognized by the Dayton Business Journal and the 2009 Inc. 5,000 list as one of the fastest growing companies in the United States. Besides their exceptional growth, Agil IT offers a fun, creative work environment and one of the best IT services in the nation – all thanks to Wes Gipe (the Voodoo Guru). And on top of it all, they have an outstanding brand and marketing effort – led by Beth Reedy (the WhizBang Marketeer) with a little help from Welborn Creative (yes, a shameless plug).

Congratulations to one of the fastest kids on the playground!

Learning to Swim

In an attempt to keep up with the ever changing trends in social networking, I’ve taken the plunge into blogging. Now, if I can just keep from getting in over my head and drowning in the blocean (“blog” and “ocean” – who knows, maybe it will catch on).

Personally, I think this will be a fun experiment in digital marketing and social networking. It gives me an interactive tool to communicate with clients, colleagues, and friends about what’s going on in the world of Welborn Creative. Not that anyone really cares, but who knows, maybe someone will be interested. Mom?!

Anyway, here I go. Let’s see how long I can hold my breath ...
