And, yes a letter is needed, although at six dollars a one shot can I won't be buying them. There are too many other ways to dye fabric that are a lot cheaper.<br />I love handmade paper. I love hand written letters. I love script......sigh.......I think I love things that are slowly disappearing. :)BeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825249325749004937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-61320915219801471292010-09-03T20:59:28.418-05:002010-09-03T20:59:28.418-05:00all considering i think the fabric was a smashing ...all considering i think the fabric was a smashing success!<br />and i LOVE handmade paper...i whoard handmade paper!!!<br />and i am going to go visit this sue person to see HER handmade papers!<br />thank you for that direction tooMary S.

Wish it were so hot over here - we think we're lucky at the moment cos we're in the 70s!

Had to chuckle when I read about the spaghettio stage of cooking! I can't believe that a $6 can of paint if for one time use! That makes it almost cost prohibitive unless you're throwing a painting party with a ton of Tshirts to be sprayed! Hope you have a wonderful Holiday weekend!

I must get to experimenting with my gifted Spray paints but I just can't remember what it was I said I would do with them. Guess, I better work on an idea this weekend. Hubby wants a tie dye t-shirt. Maybe I'll do that. I think the smaller pics are ok but I seldom click to enlarge as my computer acts up whem I do that. Go figure!! Darm ting has a mind of it's own.
