I sell way more at Zazzle, and the products I did purchase for Christmas gifts I really liked. I have also bought items through Cafepress and really like them too. I purchased 2 t-shirts for myself and they have been my favorite for a couple of years. I am waiting for one of the sites to make puzzles, that would be cool. Thanks for this informative thread, I have found it to be interesting, informative and true. I’m like you Diane, I love seeing my images on products like mugs, magnets, mousepads and such.
