Alexis is 9 years old and already a published author.

Advertising Specialty was honored to print t-shirts for Alexis to help promote her first book.

I Don’t Like WYHD (Wash Your Hair Day) is written by a little girl who describes her dislike of getting her hair done. Using her imagination and expressive colorful illustrations she takes children through a journey on what getting her hair done is like. However, after all of the pulling, brushing, and combing she always felt like a beautiful princess.

About this author:

Alexis Briana Williamson is an accomplished student who lives in Savannah, Georgia and has been reading since she was 2 years old. Alexis is an avid reader and is constantly writing short stories with undeniable innocence and a very sweet spirit.   Alexis’s love for reading spurred her mother into using her creative ideas to start a collection of children books. Alexis, whose name means “strong, helper, and defender,” is well on her way in making a delightful contribution to the human race through the written word.   This book is her first published book and is inspired by her dislike of getting her hair done.  Alexis attributes her love for reading and writing to her mom who has been reading to her even before she was born.   Alexis states, she reads everyday and every night just to put information into her head. She reads at home; she reads at school; she reads at church; she reads in her bed; she reads to herself; she reads to others; she reads in the car; and she reads in the library.

Staying on track!

 In late 2002 Diana had a vision to build a state of the art showroom and office facility for our then14 year old promotional products business  The vision came to focus and in January of 2004 the project was complete and the moving began!  Her goal was to gain new visibility for the business along busy Montgomery Crossroad and in five years do it again in another great location.  Well the offer has been made on the new location (shhhhhhhh no telling where yet) and the For Sale sign has been placed on the 402 E Montgomery Crossroad building for someone else to take advantage of the great visibility that 60 thousand passers by daily can offer.

We are all so excited and just can’t wait till you see us in our new digs!  Our industry changes every day and we are changing with it to meet the promotional and corporate wearable needs of our clients.   It will be hard to top the great showroom that we have now but new ideas abound and we are working towards them.
