T-shirt Designs for The Landing

UPDATE: The Landing shirts are now available! Click here for details I haven’t put on my creative hat for a while. However, tonight I thought I’d put together a couple of ideas I could present to students and volunteers. They want new T-shirts and I’d love to get the word out to more people about [...]

CatWest “Lunch” Truck

So I’m at CatWest today and this is one of the lunch trucks we have to choose from! Awesome! It’s a pastry lunch truck! Brilliant, much like the conference!

Trophy Case: Dennis-themed White Elephant Gifts

Brandon created a Where’s Dennis book. I thought this was kind of brilliant… especially considering he was asking me earlier in the day what he should bring. He was complaining that he wasn’t very creative. I thought this was great! When one of my boys shows up to church or small group, they come up [...]
