SPONSORS OF KASEY RAUSCH & FRIENDS

RauschHouse:  RauschHouse is an independent garment printing company owned by Kasey's sister, Kim Rausch. She specializes in custom t-shirts with your design or slogan -- be it simple text, a photograph of your favorite pet, or your or your child's artwork.  And there is no minimum order! RauschHouse is able to print one t-shirt at a time or 100.  You decide!  You can find some of my sister's designs avialable for sale on a variety of items beyond t-shirts, like magnets, buttons, baby onesies and more at her CafePress store or through the RauschHouse website.
