I have been posting my recipes online for several years, but they aren't the only things I love to dream up.
I started a Zazzle store to sell some of my other creations. It is an ongoing work in progress and already contains a large variety of items to buy as-is or customize to fit your own unique personality.

Creating My First Product Line
Sea Lions
My first product line was inspired by this wonderful photo my husband took of two sea lions swimming blissfully together. From that photo, I made a line of wedding items including customizable invitations, thank you cards, postage stamps, etc.I love how I can set up a form that makes customizing things very easy for my customers. For example: with my wedding invitations, all you have to do is fill in the blanks in the form with the names, date, time, place, address, etc, then click on the "ok, finished personalizing!" link for customized invitations with the sea lion picture and fancy script. You can see your changes in the preview pane as you make them. If you want to customize the invitations even more, you can do that, too.
From the wedding idea came the "Just Married" series of items including shirts, hats, buttons, and even a bumper sticker. Some of these items have that cool fill-in-the-blank customizing, too. Even items without that feature can be customized manually.
For those who aren't getting married, I created shirts for big and little people (and dogs), a mousepad, magnets, aprons, hats, bags, customizable mugs, etc. You can add text to go along with the sea lions picture on just about anything.

A Bright Idea For My Second Product Line
Tulips
I have used the colorful picture of tulips posted above for the background on my computer for quite awhile. I liked it so well, I used a strip of it for the heading of my store at DARdreams Designs.Now I have added the tulips design to many items in my store, including cards, mugs, shirts, buttons, aprons, etc.
I love the bright colors and it goes especially well on bright-colored items. I have also played with the original photo to create special effects, like this tulips heart.

A Burst of Inspiration For My Third Product Line
Tulips Collapsing Design
While playing with special effects with the tulips photo, I created this design. It has the effect of the photo collapsing into itself, which creates a bright star-like image.This collapsing design goes great on everything from stationery items and apparel to tote bags and mousepads.
Since it isn't apparent this design is from a tulips photo, it can be used on items that even people who aren't into tulips will like. Yet it still matches the original tulips items.
I have used the design with a white background on some items and with a red background on others for different effects.

A Softer Version of Tulips For My Fourth Product Line
Tulips Hand Drawing
I love this version of my tulips design! It gives the effect of being hand drawn with soft colors.This design looks great on items with a white background or on colors like yellow, pink, orange, and green.
I especially love it in a heart shape.

A Yummy Theme For My Fifth Product Line
Kitchen
I have been creating recipes and sharing them online for several years. I print them out from my DARdreams website, put them in plastic sheet protectors, then file them in a binder with category dividers.Zazzle started carrying Avery binders, so I decided to make a DARdreams binder for my recipes. But having several projects already going, the idea got put on the back burner (excuse the pun!).
When Zazzle had a cookbook binder contest, I couldn't procrastinate any longer! The pegboard pictured on my binder is the one I have in my kitchen.
Obviously, I love the color red!
Binders are on sale at Zazzle until the end of the year, so this is a great time to get your own DARdreams Low Carb Recipe Collection binder. See the code and info in "New Sales at Zazzle" above.

A Serene Scene For My Sixth Product Line
Waterfalls
This beautiful picture of waterfalls near Drift Creek in Oregon was taken by my husband on one of his many hikes.Can't you just hear the sound of the waterfalls and birds chirping? Ahhhh....
I designed a tie with the waterfall cascading down it for those guys who love the outdoors, but must wear a tie sometimes, too.
I also designed a mousepad for outdoor lovers to bring a little bit of the beautiful outdoors with them wherever they use their computers.
