Well… Violet didn’t waste any time earning her keep.

A few days after our new UV laser arrived, we got the opportunity to work on something pretty damn cool — the limited-edition Wi******er Bourbon 250th Anniversary bottle.

Wi******er Bourbon came to us with their concept for the commemorative bottle, and our job was to figure out how to turn that artwork into a clean, detailed engraving on glass.

After some testing, tweaking, and a few sacrificial bottles… this is the result.

The finished engraving has detail we simply couldn't achieve on glass with our other equipment. That tiny rider. The script. The fine lines. Violet absolutely nailed it.

Huge thank you to Wi******er Bourbon and Ugly Dog Distillery, LLC for trusting CMC Laser & Gifts with this project.

And here's the really cool part:

These are a limited release — only 250 bottles are available. If you want one, order yours while they're still available through Wi******er Bourbon.

Meanwhile, Gerald — our CO₂ laser — has been watching Violet get all this attention and I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm cheating on him.

Welcome to the shop, Violet.

Sleep with one eye open. Gerald is watching. 😂

It's time for a little honesty from CMC.
We've hit that awkward stage in growing a small business where there's too much work to keep squeezing everything into the hours left after a full-time job, but making the jump to having more time for the business is still a big decision.
Lately, that balancing act hasn't been working.
Orders have stacked up. New lake maps have been finished but haven't even made it online. Messages and follow-ups haven't always gotten the attention they should. And our online presence has pretty much disappeared.
Most importantly, if you're someone who has fallen through the cracks somewhere along the way, I'm sorry.
If you're waiting on a quote, a proof, an order, or even just a response from me, please reach out. I'm spending the next few days getting caught up and making sure nobody gets left behind.
The funny part is that CMC hasn't been quiet because business is bad. We've been quiet because there's been too much happening behind the scenes.
We've got new maps coming, customer projects everywhere, and we've just added a new UV laser that's opening up an entirely new world of things we can do—including the glass engraving in the last photo.
There are some changes coming around here.
But first, I've got some catching up to do.
Time to get to work.

It's been a little while since I showed any of the new maps that have been coming.

What's in the box? 📦
Could be a hippo. Could be a severed head. Could be my will to keep doing my own taxes.
Best (most unhinged) guess wins.

We made the The Chelsea Post this week! 📰
Caught by photographer Randy Lee at the Sounds & Sights Festival, set up in the Social Commons with our Great Lakes and custom lake maps. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and grabbed a card — always love connecting with new faces.
If you missed us, our full lineup of lake maps and custom pieces is always up on our page.
Small shop, big goals — if you want to help us keep growing, give CMC Laser & Gifts a follow. Every share helps more than you'd think. 🙏

Matt Tudor over at Fen Ridge Designs drove out to Lavender Fest today just to hand me this — a custom CMC Gifts hat he made himself. No booth, nothing to sell, just showed up to do something cool for a friend in the trade.
That's the kind of people worth knowing in this business. Appreciate you, Matt — go check out Fen Ridge Designs.
(And no, we won't be adding hats to the CMC lineup — but if you want a lake map, coaster, or custom engraved piece, that's exactly our lane. )
Catch us next at Chelsea Sights and Sounds, July 24–25. Follow along here so you don't miss it. 👇

🌊 Day 2 at Grass Lake Traffic Jam'in — and we're not slowing down!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by yesterday. The Grass Lake maps sold out on day one — we're taking orders off the large display piece today.
Still in stock: Portage Lake, Zukey Lake, Strawberry Lake, North Lake, Hi-Land Lake, Center Lake, Halfmoon/Blind Lake, Patterson Lake, Clark Lake, Wamplers Lake, Houghton Lake, Wolf Lake, the Great Lakes, Torch Lake, and more.
We cover lakes from Jackson County to Washtenaw County to Livingston County. If you live on a lake in this area, there's a good chance we have it — and if we don't, we can build it.
📍 Grass Lake Events Park Pavilion, Grass Lake, MI
Today only — come find us! 🗺️🪵
