WELP-- we found ASPS and some T-shirts sitting in a tree P-R-I-N-T-I-N-G. I don't know what to say. We never saw it coming. Now they're together daily, staring into each other's registration marks, adjusting their micro--it's pretty gross tbh. But hey, love is love, who are we to judge?

We'd like to say a quick thank you to all of those who helped us out by answering our New Year's resolution survey. We got some great feedback and are in the works of integrating what we can. If you missed this year's survey don't worry! You'll have another chance next year!

This month we got a brand new toy: a heatpress! We've been spending quite a bit of time getting to know our new machine and honing it in to make sure we're making the best product possible. Sometimes you have to break a couple of eggs to make an omelet--or in our case sometimes you have to scorch a few hoodies to make an order. Thankfully the hoodie casualties were not in vain, and we've got it up and ready to go!

Please feel free to reach out with your next project and see if heatpress is the best fit for what you have in mind. In the meantime, we hope you have a fantastic month filled with self-care and showing those around you that you love them with a copious amount of chocolate.

xoxo the ASPS team

FEBRUARY COLOR SWATCH INSPIRATION

PICTURE THIS:
Sitting at your school desk with a shoebox your adult helped you cover in construction paper complete with crooked, imperfect hearts you cut out and glued on the outside using an old glue stick you found in a junk drawer. You impatiently wait until the end of the day to rip off the top of your decorated box, revealing the mess of chocolates and heart-shaped lollypops woven between layers of purple and pink folded paper valentines. Can it get any better than this?

I DON'T QUITE KNOW HOW TO SAY THIS....but maybe these valentines will clear things up.

TREND ALERT! There's been a trend ramping up in the past few years where couples in Korea are wearing matching outfits to make it look like they go together. We've seen full on tracksuits, matching tees, and whole outfits head to toe--all making couples look like they're a matching set. We think that's such a sweet way to declare to the world that you've found your person. Plus matching outfits are always a great surprise for your partner(s) and friend group. We think they'd be pretty cool to offer on an online store.

This month's playlist is:
