I just invested in a heat press and the transfer paper, so if I look at the books without "spin" then I'd have to say my net is down from last year, but without adding in the investment, it's about the same. Don't know if that counts or not. You can decide ;)
The economy in general is so wierd anyways, and I think it's greatly influenced consumer perceptions (how safe they feel). I'm not saying that it's false that things are tighter. The "cheap" price for gas here is $4.59. But you got to remember that people still have birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, and holidays. And while they might not be buying up a storm, be a "card warrior" (sorry not sure if that's exactly the clever phrase Ash Evans used, but it's a good one!) Small sales still add up and have saved my hinny at a show many a time.
