July 28, 2007 - "Rome-ancing the Mouse Cruisers" -11 days! Part 3

They have a step by step process where you can upload graphics, choose if you want them to be in the center or over pocket, and you can add text. You design the shirt, approve the shirt, and pay for it if you want & they'll send to you.

The shirt with the front & back designs you see here comes out to $18.45 usd before tax & shipping. It is $2 less with only one graphic, that I could tell. I don't know if other t-shirts would be more or less.

That sounds really good for us........how much time do they need to make the shirts and ship them??

JoAnn - are you still on?

Yes!!

I think they have a fast turnaround. I didn't get that far on the website. I think I ordered some shirts for my nephews last year, and they were sent to my house pretty quickly.

Hi everyone,

For those of you like me, who really aren't good at doing iron-on transfers, there is a site called Zazzle.com, that will let you customize a t-shirt in various styles & then send to you. I think the cost is fairly reasonable, depending on what you want to put on it.

You can also personalize other items, too.

Zazzle's not bad. But you may want to check out local stores that do custom T-Shirts. Why? Because they are less likely to give you grief over use of copyrighted graphics (aka, the mouse).

Most malls have at least one store that does custom T's.

Thx MJ, this sounds like the way to go for the Tshirts............

Darn It! I keep forgetting to post some saying I got in regards to:

Well, I'll let them say what its about. I got these in an e-mail but I can't copy the pictures so I'll just write them down:

T-Shirt Sayings:

"I'm still hot....It just comes in flashes!"

Every time I hear the dirty word "exercise", I wash my mouth out with chocolate!"

"I'm not 50 - I'm $49.95 plus tax!"

"Keep staring - I MIGHT do a trick!"

Personally - my favorite and keeping in tune with our thread - I like the first one myself -

That's good to know. Has Zazzle given a hard time before?

And THANK YOU ALL for the and It really has helped me in my moments of darkness. I try not to let it get to me but sometimes, we all have feelings. I was telling DH that sometimes, I just want the world off my shoulders. Its hard and everyone has been so used to me being stoic lmao: ) that when I really need the they all look at me like: . Which actually is kinda funny - now I understand how I must of looked as a teenager when my mom was going through MENOPAUSE and she would break down - I would have this look: what do I do? Well, if Disney didn't have it right in that song - The Circle of Life - my turn now.

Reminds me of that title of that old musical - "Stop the world, I want to get off". Has been on my mind for the past couple of years, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

There was also that old TV show "Picket Fences" - based in part on the premise that real life is much messier than the idealized lives we seem to live behind those perfect white picket fences. Truth is, everyone has "s**t" of one form or another, and every family has the same. Part of being human and imperfect and all that.

And I suppose we all have our ways of dealing with it. Mine is through humor and getting lost in SF and fantasy novels...

Sorry - saw your post regarding Travis. This wouldn't by any chance happen to be the young, its' getting hot in here, looking like a young Brad Pitt from Legends of the Fall with a killer smile would it?

LOL - I saw your post and the name and I just had to comment. Somewhere - I have a picture of the Blonde surfer hottie.

OY! It is hot in here.

Hi Laura - these are great.


JoAnn, I'm going to try Zazzle, and if they can't do it, then I'll either do the iron on (that I know will fade), or do like Dan suggests, look at a local store... we'll see.

Dan when and if you figure it out -I'd pay WHATEVER it costs to be able to jump off too.

Well, he's fun to look at!

Good night - sleep tight and talk to you tomorrow. Me - I'm switching rooms as DD wants to get sleep. Be back in a minute.

 

[Aurora1959]

OH MY - I actually caught up!

I NEED WALMART!!!!!!

You can have ours.

Good luck with the passports. Luckily you don't need them for this cruise. What a mess with people trying to expedite them. You should be fine with getting them for Dec.

Maryann

My neighbor yesterday actually told us all that he was paying $200 and it was supposed to be here in 2 weeks. We all laughed at him. He didn't want to listen to us that they haven't edited the websites, and that 3-4 weeks means 7-8. Oh well - his money.

The Red Hot Ladies- I love it! Every time I'm flashing I think of it as a mini- vacation in the tropics!

Happy Anniversary Carrie and John.

Our 23rd anniversay is Saturday. MY DH surprised me with Tickets to see Jimmy Buffet in Atlantic City on Saturday. I can't wait to be be a parrothead for a night.

Congratulations on 23 years. I know the last 13 have gone by so fast. It seems like only yesterday that we jumped in the car and drove up to Tahoe. (yes it was planned, but it was he that invited my mom)

Yeah - just bring some small scissors or nail clippers and clip it off. Better save than sorry - also - don't suggest nice posters as I saw one very pretty poster fly away on the last night. I think we have full kids in the clubs so you might not want to put something out that you can lose.

Perhaps I should just add to mine "tristan and garet - this is YOUR room" Then nobody will want to steal it.

It's time to start the cleaning..........the dentist appointment and the workout are over...........no more stalling!!!

Jon and I used to work out a deal - if I was excersizing, he would clean. I guess I need to workout more.

You know I said I wasn't any good -this is my 1st attempt @ a door sign

Is it as bad as I think ?

This is great - you have inspired me to break out the ol Disney Print Studios. I have Hercules around here somewhere.

I really need to get up there in Spring - that's my favorite time, though winter is pretty special as well.

It was strange going to Yosemite falls, and seeing the whole stream area below the falls crowded with people climbing rocks to get as close as possible. Last time I was there, anyone who had dared get off the path would likely have been washed miles downstream within minutes.

I have pics of the boys climbing the rocks. And I could certainly see what was probably normally river bed. But it was so dry the first week of may that people were sitting on the rocks having a picnic.

Here is a rough sample of what a lady's t-shirt would look like with our logo on the front pocket and our tags on the bag -- there are also sleeveless, long-sleeved, men's, etc.

If you're interested, the website for the t-shirts is: http://www.zazzle.com/custom/tshirts

You can also personalize other items, too.

Thanks for the site Mary Jo. I will look into it.

On Wednesday I am going to talk to Mrs. Tinnin. Our kids go to school together, so she is likely to do things for me. if it would come out to more, i will let you all know and we can try with zazzle.

Brian - do you have a higher quality version of the Mickey image? I thought I saved one on my computer, but I think it got deleted. the better the quality, the better the image will be on a shirt.

 

[eeyorelvr10]

LOL - I was scanning the computer hard drive for pictures and came across this one. This one is blurry but all I had time to download was this one. I love it even though its blurry because you can tell Brent, our CD hopefully was really embarrassed to come out this way. You can tell from his face that the audience was roaring with laughter.

I'll have to search tomorrow for the chicken boy outfit.

Brian was kind enough to send me a high res image a couple of weeks back. I spent some time cleaning it up (had some jpg compression artifacts).

Here are two images. The first one is a single high res image that's had its resolution adjusted to appear exactly 4.5 inches wide (the maximum recommended size for T-shirt pocket).

The second one is the same, except it has two images on a page - for those who want to print out their own T-shirt transfers to help conserve paper.

Dan - having some trouble viewing image - I get some login screen saying I've been logged off due to inactivity. Is it just me? Thanks - am considering doing your suggestion and taking it to a graphics/t-shirt shop so that I don't mess it up when I attempt to make it and end up so frustrated that I just take it to someone anyway. Saves times if I just go there from the get-go.
