meet a few of our friends who make all the hard decisions!

steph, nancy, lauren, norm, mini-amanda, amanda, chris and bill

  • carry a plushy of me, yoyo, around with you all day. (yes, i’m the green one.)
  • if you don’t have a plushy, print a picture of me from our web site and tape it on your clothes.
  • if you can’t print from the computer, draw a picture of me and color it with a green crayon.

you get the idea…

penny was all alone in the world until she got adopted by one of our very cool designers, steph.  now penny is happy and smiling all the time!!  see?  even when she’s with the boss, she’s smiling!  awwwww, so cuuuuute!!  

bill and his favorite staff members

ps:  see roxy down there?  she got a home, too!!!  we just love happy endings, don’t you?
