Milliepie! Milliepie!! I am laughing so hard!! I have SOOO needed this laugh for a week now (my dearest uncle is dying and we spent much of last week holding his hand and comforting him)
I am sooooo to blame..but the laugh was worth it!! You see, I was born and raised most of my life in Alabama...there are only two football teams realized by most of us here (okay, we do have many transplants now that the military is relocating BRAC here) Auburn and Alabama. Well, growing up there was a song called "Going to the Animal Fair" and a line in it that says "the old babboon by the light of the moon was combing his Auburn hair" I promise you that I was in my 20's before I realized that his hair was not Orange and Blue!! the colors of Auburn University (aka my alma mater)
So when you worked soo hard to get me an Auburn Mickey..you can imagine the "A-ha!" moment I had when I was quizzically looking at them thinking, how is this Auburn?? OH!!! AUBURN!!! And that brought back all those duh moments I had thinking Auburn was an orange and blue color!
So, no, folks outside of the South don't know who/what Auburn is...so I apologize, I should have been much clearer and put Auburn Tigers!!! Aubie is our mascot and he's pretty cool, too! So thank you so much for the Auburn Mickeys!! They made my day!
And Thanks Jordak for the bubble brush, I'll let you know how it turns out!!
Y'all ROCK!!!!

milliepie,I'm so sorry about your uncle!
I love the story, it had me laughing too! I never even though that it could be a sport team when you said Auburn. The first thought that came to mind was the color. Anyhoo, I hope this suits your needs better.
milliepie,
I "stole" your Auburn ears you made for someone. Can you make an Alabama one too? I'm an Auburn fan, my wife an Alabama fan. "A house divided." Just wanting to see how you were coming with the other ears I asked you about the other day. If you need more artwork, let me know! Thanks for all you do!
Milliepie!! Thanks so much for the hug...my uncle went to the Superbowl with me (long story, but I saved and saved for tix to surprise my husband, he came down with a horrible virus and could not go, my uncle who used to play at Penn St. with Mike Ditka was sooo excited to fill in...he's been like a second Dad to me..he held our first born before even my father! ) and they have been on several vacations with us on the beach...ah...one of those gems you don't want to see leave your presence! He also got his Master's from Auburn so he would love the Mickey ears you made!! Thank you soo much!! I used the license plate form to make them both name plates, my aunt hung them in his hospice room....she loved them! They went to Disney last year after being away for over 30 years!
You guys are great!!!
Tara
I know Auburn, and Alabama quite well - I'm originally from Tennessee. Vols, that is.
If you don't mind, for the great laugh and touching story -- I'd like to use the "Auburn" Mickeys that Millipie did for you on our cruise, in your honor. *bows*

I like the background too its elegant! But hey do what you think looks best you are the artist!Hey Bev, did you want that exact grapic with the background and everything, or just the tink in the graphic? I might give it a go.
I tried the mickey sunset.
your welcome and that is funny!Jordak the sign you made for my parents 62 anniversary is awesome!!!! The wording is perfect and the arrangement is great, I know they will love it.....A big thank you and pixie dust for all of your help....
(Just noticed that minnie has on headphones...the irony is that my father is deaf and wears 2 hearing aids, but still has a hard time hearing. Mom gets so mad that she stops talking to him, we got her hooked on listening to music so she does that instead of yelling at my dad cause she is trying to have a conversation and he cant hear her!!! So that picture was made for them.....)
