I have been busy in the craft room. I have not been making many cards, but I still have been busy.

The staff at Chase County Elementary School have been creating a monthly shirt that we wear on the same day. We decide on a theme and I either design it or buy the design off of Etsy. I then cut out all of the vinyl and we get together for an after school vinyl weeding party!! We know how to live it up!! I then take them home and use my heat press to apply the vinyl to their shirts.

We were not going to make one in January though. There is so much going that the month got away from us and we thought we would take a break. But then, the Kansas City Chiefs made it to the Super Bowl!!! We celebrated by wearing Chiefs clothing all week before the game. I am not a football fan, so I only had one Chiefs shirt and did not think I should wear it every day for week. Tuesday of that week was Tyreek Tuesday was cheetah print day. I didn't have a Chiefs shirt for the day or any cheetah print. I got on Etsy and found the perfect file. Here is the shirt I made for Tyreek Tuesday.

When people saw my shirt, several of them wanted one. I ended up making about a dozen of these shirts that week. Good think I try to keep extra shirts on hand!

We had a pep rally on Thursday of that week because our principal was going to the Super Bowl. She should the school her Super Bowl ticket. It was pretty cool! I knew I needed another Chiefs shirt for the pep rally, so I went to my vinyl stash and found some yellow I thought would work. Here is the shirt I made for the pep rally.

February rolled around and the staff started talking about another staff shirt. We wanted something that was a little Valentiney (is that a word? I guess it is now!) but not over the top with hearts and love. We wanted to be able to wear it throughout the year and not just the one day. We also had been talking about wanting a shirt about being kind. During lunch one day we looked on Pinterest and on Etsy and found a design we liked.

I decided that I would have the staff come to my house and we would weed the vinyl there and could heat press them right away so they could take them home that night. It didn't go quite like that, but some people did take them home with them. I did not have all of the vinyl cut, so the weeding took a little longer. We also let people have a choice of shirt color and vinyl color for the letters and the heart. This is how my shirt turned out.

When I was handing out shirts the next day, the custodian at the school asked where his shirt was. I told him I would get right on that and make him a shirt! So.....since I am sure custodians secretly love glitter, I made all of the letters on his shirt with glitter vinyl. It, of course, needed a lot of hearts on it too. I gave it to him and he really did wear it that day!!!
