Not only do they donate fabulous prizes for the Thursday Giveaways, they do some great quality printing of all kinds of items like posters, brochures, business & greeting cards and (of course) banner printing. I've used them to print promo-stickers for this blog as well as a wrapped canvas portrait of my son. The quality was top of the line, plus fast shipping & great customer service.

This prize has reminded me just how much I've been slacking off when it comes to promotional materials. I need to get it in gear & design some business cards for my Etsy shop, ArtSnark's Atrifacts. Here is a blog promo image for my own sticker printing.
