As many of you know we have recently moved out of the store front in Hartford and have taken the business closer to its humble beginnings. What most don't know is the reasoning behind the decision...

Our youngest daughter was diagnosed with functional neurologic disorder which refers to a group of common neurological movement disorders caused by an abnormality in how the brain functions. There is a medical facility that specializes in this disorder - but it isn't exactly close to home. After much discussion, we decided to do a slight downscale of the business and move it home. We'll take the income we were using to pay the overhead at the shop and put it towards providing her with a place to live - and other expenses - near the treatment facility.

So. We're once again working from the house. We're now located in Slinger just a few driveways behind Burger King.

We're still ironing out some of the details, but we're going to begin offering unique products to the local community via this group. Most of the items featured here will not be available from our normal Etsy shops. We hope that you'll not only stick with us, but that you'll help us promote our small veteran owned, family run home based business by inviting others to join our little group.

This is the mug production area of the new "Creations Studio" .... aka Mug Doodles portion of the studio - we prep, burn, pack and ship all the coffee mugs from this 20' x 6' area. Up to 300 mugs in an 8 hour day... The picture is a panoramic shot -on the far right side is our prep area. We take the printed sublimation paper from the printers (barely visible on the far right) and tape them to the mugs... then its on to the second section of the wall where the mug and paper are inserted into one of our 4 George Knight mug presses, or if we're real busy into our sublimation over, then after a quick bath to cool them down, they're off to the gift boxing area on the far left. Once filled with shredded paper and put in gift boxes, we put them on the shipping table to be boxed, weighed and shipped. We use air pillows and bio-degradable packing peanuts when shipping the mugs. Mug Doodles Creations 101

SAVE THE WEB! COLLECT ALL THE DOMAINS! Creations 101, LLC is now the proud owner of yet another dang domain name (or two). This is over and beyond the ones purchased at the end of January. I think we're almost done though! January's domains are to do with the new printer and laser engraver. We're in the process of working on the Etsy store now for the new domains and will post a link to the store shortly! Think packaging for crafters!
