A Vivisection of We the People

 

This lens is a combination of my site, American Angst, (where I make fun of the silliness of life ...and celebrities) AND my store on Cafepress where I have consistently been a TopShopkeepers over the last few years. I will be highlighting products from my store (including bestsellers, new items, items I love and worked hard on that I am conVINCED you SHOULD know about), will soon be offering information on an affiliate program so you can make money from selling my products, too. Finally, I will be sharing information on other items that I love (from other stores) that I can't live without (and/or without SHARING). It's called OCD + Type A. Revel in my psychosis, won'tcha? 

Gracie's Life Lesson #591...

Expect to get weird looks from the drugstore cashier when you purchase the following: laxatives, a travel pillow, and dental floss. ;-)

Love,
~Gracie

My Cancer Survival Shop at CafePress 

Humor = Strength. Products for Cancer Survivors

We were written about in a Newsday article! In memory of my grandparents who passed from this horrible illness, I created these humorous products as a way to help people fight cancer with a sense of humor. Strength and humor are never a bad thing.

We donate 10% of all profits to cancer research (we've already donated several thousand dollars).

We have tens of thousands of products available and a full store with many more Cancer Survival products (samples shown below) for you and your loved ones. We hope you'll never need them.

Cancer Sucks 2.25" Button

There's no happy spin to put on it...cancer sucks. But at least with a product like this you can fight it with humor. Laughter truly is the best medicine (well...among the free ones anyway!)

I Support My Sister Jr. Ringer T-Shirt

We have products for ALL 2008 presidential election candidates, funny quotes on products, yard signs, big buttons, and much much more (and for *each* political party!)

Imagine Peace 3.5" Button

Price: 10.49
