These work for roller derby teams, birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, bike races, marathons or just to create group unity! My mother goes on a trip with her eight (8) sisters every two years, and they make matching t-shirts to identify them as a group. Here’s a small portion of that loud, Southern group on “cowboy night”:

They are weird, but it explains a lot.
If you buy 10 horns, you get a 15% discount, and with 20 you get 30% off!
Aw, Thanks Mom!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everybody! I am dying to get back home to my workshop and make stuff till I fall over. I’ve been gone almost three weeks on our trip to the Midwest/South, and have only visited craft stores four times. That’s good, right?
Since starting a job where I get to make stuff, I soon realized I’d go into withdrawals without something to do with my idle hands. I tend to turn into a terrible TV-watching, M&M-munching dolt when I visit my parent’s house, so I figured I’d kill a few birds with one (felt) stone and buy a few supplies. My mom has been impressed with my felt flowers (from Holidash) in the past, so I got a brush and a 3-needle felting pin to take home with me. My holidays will never be the same– she loved it! We’ve made a pact to craft together via Skype.
She was so excited. "Look, no glue!"
She took to the clip method from Infarrantly Creative really well– within ten minutes she’d put together a wonderful flower, then a stem in just a few more! I’m not sure why I’m surprised– that’s the gene pool I come from. Her’s is way better than mine!
My wonderful, crafty Ma.
I still ate a lot of M&Ms, though.
Merry Christmizzle

My sister’s boyfriend, who works for a liquor distributor, brought home a stack of Snoop Dogg for Landy Cognac posters. Waste not want not! The jokes about “California Santa Claus” have not stopped. My sister definitely wins for best wrapping this year [insert pun here].
Though it has nothing to do with crafts, everyone likes a good animal video, so here is my mother’s poor little Cairn terrier struggling to keep her dignity after outfitted with some kind of dog-Juicy Couture outfit. We weren’t sure if her inability to walk was from the dog boots or the embarrassment.
