What affect has zazzle had on your life in 25 words or more
In a nutshell, Zazzle has allowed me to work at home and be available for my young daughter. I was feeling creatively stifled since I left the corporate world of marketing and communications design after becoming a mother. I had no opportunity to design products that I, myself, would buy. Zazzle has given me back my creative spark and each morning I look forward to when I can sit down and design a new product.
In an average week how much time do you put into your shops including making designs, adding them to your store, advertising, reading the forums, doing other research or zazzle related work?
(estimate the average week where do you fall)
12-30 hours (2-4 hours per day)
What percentage of time do you spend designing/adding products vs advertising/working on referral sites (this includes blogs twitter forums websites and other means of advertising)
75% adding designs 25% advertising
What was your favorite design to make & why? (whether it has sold or not pick just 1 & include the link to the product page NOT the image link)
I don't have one that really stands out. I really enjoy doing business cards and anything to do with corporate identity development as that has been my specialty for nearly 20 years. I have enjoyed using family photos as placeholders and whenever I see them in my store they make me smile.

This is an invitation I had a lot of fun with. I love mixing the vintage images with contemporary design. I also have fun writing copy (harkening back to my marketing days). I've sold quite a number of these.
How many shops do you have on zazzle?
2-4
