I didn't know your wife was Janine. I love the Uppercase store. The typerwriter project looks great as well. Good luck with the funding.

Anyway, if anyone's interested, you can check it out the campaign here:

Or check out a blog post about her decision to fund it through a more DIY approach to crowdfunding:

It would have done amazingly well on Kickstarter, but it's off to a great start, regardless. |
