The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 10

Ok, I actually did some shirts for the twins yesterday. I found some darling stencils at Michael's and thought I could use them with the spray paint technique that I did for Katie's party, without having to mess with flour and water, and peeling it all off. Here's the results. Tell me what you think.


The Pooh bear is easier to see, but Leslie wanted both blue and pink for her Tinkerbell shirt. As long as she is happy, right? I'm going to be looking for more of these stencils!!!!!

I love the, Glynis!! I will definitely have to try that.

Glynis the shirts look wonderful, you did a great job!

Hi everyone-
its been crazy and i do not have time to catch up --If i missed anything major, could someone please PM me ??? Thanks!!

I got to see Alex today after about a week and a half..i walked in the room, he looked at me and said "hey jen!" I havent heard him talk in so long and it was great to hear him! He had some type of device hooked up to his trach. to allow him to talk.He was talking to my dad and I for about 30 minutes, even joking around. He asked me how college was going and asked us if we saw the tshirts with his name on it. I was SO happy being in there.

He told us that he was even sitting up for 18 minutes--said it was dizzy, but thats to be expected after laying down so long..

People have been asking me for updates so i wanted to post this great one! thanks for all the prayers!

 

[tinknme]

Yes you can!

I had no idea that Zazzle let's you upload your own designs. Has anyone done this yet? Do you think they'll allow the ones made here?? I'm off to go play on the site!

 

[tinknme]

I do not use a cell phone much. so I just use Tracfone.

What's everyone's cell phone? I'm due for a free upgrade and just wanted to see if there are phones out there that you all really like or just outright hate. Thanks!

I've put alot of people in the Marriott Marquis. Haven't had any complaints! Denise, are you guys gonna try to see a show while your there? I can vouch for the Lion King too! I saw that in Toronto and all I can say is THANK GOODNESS for an isle seat! It was amazing! I had goosebumps!

We saw it in Toronto, too, and then again in Buffalo when it was traveling. It was amazing both times! The theater in Toronto was much better for it, though.

I had an aisle seat the last time they came through Denver (mom gave me Lion King for my birthday....fundraising seats for the Ronald McDonald house) I can also vouch for an aisle seat on the lower level if you can. Goosebumps and tears of joy from me.

Are you kidding? No. My arm is beginning to hurt. My biggest hurdle is taking Nicholas out of school. He will be out for 3 days in October and a week in May. I was lucky this past year because he was only missed 2 days for really being sick. I hope I get as lucky next year.
