We are currently working on a website, but until then we ask you to be patient. There are still 2 ways of ordering. The first is by clicking on the icon on the right side bar which will take you directly to our etsy shop. The second is by sending us an email at academyjbands@gmail.com telling us what you would like to order. We'll get back to you and tell you the next step.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">Let us know if there is anything different you'd like to see here!</span></div>The Academyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16147710759165114084noreply@blogger.com0
