Homeschool T-shirts

From: Cindy Johnson, a homeschool mom of 8 years.

Get T-shirts that celebrate home education!

I, along with another homeschool mom, here in Woodbury, have formed a small business designed to promote and celebrate home education. We are just getting started. So at this point we have 5 designs. But we'd be happy to do customized shirts for you, your band, choir, support group, co-op, sports team. Whatever! We feel like God has called us to find ways to reach out and break down barriers regarding homeschooling. The world needs to know we are here, functional, honorable, & normal (as much as anyone can be!). If you're interested in seeing what we have, please email me at daveandcindyj@msn.com. I'll be happy to send you back some (slightly fuzzy) pictures!

We know first hand what it's like to live on a single income. So we're doing our best to keep costs down. I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised by our prices. Drop us a line! Get your Christmas presents early! Tell Grandparents too!
