Many of you know I'm training for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk in September. I've wanted to the walk for the last couple of years, but it just wasn't the right time. This year seems to the year...I'll be 5 years cancer-free in Oct & I turned 50 in June! So, why not do something BIG! :) My friend, Carolyn Pollack (who has walked it 8 times) is walking with me. It should be a wildly fun 3 days!
Anyhoo, for motivation & shameless advertising, I decided to make a few t-shirts to wear while I'm walking & wanted to share my "works of art" with you. (I'm NOT crafty, so don't judge! LOL!)
I went to Michael's to pick up the supplies I needed. My first attempt was a bit disastrous. I chose to use stencils & fabric spray paint. Boy was that messy! Plus, I didn't have all the numbers and letters I needed; so I improvised.

After the paint dried, I put a breast cancer ribbon on the front of the shirt. (Not sure if the placement was fabu.)

In the end, my first attempt, wasn't so disastrous. In all honesty, I don't care what it looks like, it's fun to wear! :)
My 2nd attempt was much easier.

My friend, Kristen, suggested I use a bleach pen & just write the info on the back of the shirt. SHE'S SO SMART! This picture was taken before the bleach had the time to set in; but it worked great!

Of course, I ironed a breast cancer ribbon on the front on this tee as well.

Many of you have asked how you can support my walk and training. I would love if you would send me a picture when you see a "spot of support" like the waste can I spotted a while ago.

It will be like your training with me, which will bring me great joy! Can't wait to see what you find!!
Lots of Love...Nancy
