Making It With Allie - Personalized T-shirts

Hello Friends!!
I am glad to see you all!
It has been super crazy around here lately.
My bestie was in town and we had WAY too much fun.
Well, most of it anyways.
We did lots of training -that is until I injured my darn self.
And we even got a couple of projects it!
Here is a quick look at the t-shirts we made for Hollie's girls.
The Cameo got a good workout and we were able to go to my favorite supply store:

First up, Ashlyn.
She wanted an acoustic guitar and neon pink shirt.

We used Turquoise EasyWeed for this graphic.

This one wrapped around to the back.
Kinda cute, eh?

Next, Sammy.
Sam wanted an electric guitar and neon green


I LOVE the metallic heat transfer!
This one is Cherry!

Pretty cute!
Next is Sophi.
Sophi has recently had braces added to her cute smile.
So, she wanted this cute saying:

This graphic used three products:

Love it!
Last, but not least, Lainey.
Lainey wanted a soccer ball.
So, we girlie-fied it.


This one used both 


Both of decided that we couldn't choose which was our favorite.
So, we must have done something right...
The girls LOVED them.
I can't wait to see photos of them in them!

AND.  Because I know some of you will email me and ask me this....
Hollie's nail color is from  Entity Couture1 called "Electric Runway".

Making It With Allie - High Alert and Lock-down

Hello friends!
And boy do I mean FRIENDS!
We had a very alarming situation this week that has us on high alert and lock-down.
I will preface this with the fact that we live in one of those neighborhoods that has basically one way in and out and is windy and the people that are here are very deliberate in their presence.
WELL.
I went to walk little the little Princess out to the bus the other day a few minutes early so we could get some sunshine and play time before she left.
My little brother is visiting, so he and his girlfriend and dog were all out and we were having fun until....
This white unmarked van pulls up and begins to WATCH the little Princess!
Bells and alarms are going off in my head so, I am taking mental notes as many details as I can.
One of the details is that this guy had very fake glasses on without lenses.
Creepy.
Well, her bus pulls up and the guy decided to pull up close to the bus and follow it out.
The hairs on the back of my neck are standing at attention and I grab the keys and head to the elementary.
When I get there, the van is now going past the school and the bus has turned into the school.
This trip to the school is also a very deliberate trip and is very suspect for this guy to be there.
So, I chat with the teachers and give them a frantic heads up.
They were all SO reassuring and helped me calm down.
When I got home, we spoke with a Sheriff who promised to do some investigating.
But the whole thing has left us with a bad feeling in our mouths!
And needless to say, we are all on very high alert and poor little A is on lock-down.
And the dog is figuring out how to do his business pretty quick...
But really, who does this kind of stuff???
How creepy is that?!

Now, it's time for the
Making It With Allie Party!

Making It With Allie - Bookworm Allie

Hey there! How are all of you?
I have been quite busy for a while and have felt like being a bookworm this last week.
It's been very nice given that the weather in Chicagoland is doing the Spring-Rain bit...
I am loving the Nook too! It's lice to be able to have both AuBrynne and My books with us for when we have a moment or are having bedtime stories.
So, I started with one of my favorite authors, Marian Keyes.
This one was called Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married.

I just love Marian Keyes' writing.  
Ms. Keyes has a great way of making the characters funny and endearing and makes you feel happy and sad and as embarrassed as she intends them to be.
I'm running out of Marian Keyes books to read.  
I might have to write her a letter, kindly asking her for another good read.... ;-)

Next, my bestie suggested I read The Lucky One, by Nicholas Sparks, before she arrives next week, so we can go see the movie when she's here.

This books was lovely! If only a perfect Marine walked into every ladies life... Right.
This was the first Nicholas Sparks book that I have read.  I noticed that nearly all of his books has been turned into a movie.  And I can see why! I am going to have to read some more!
Anyways, this was a page turner.  Sweet and tender.  It's a good one to get lost in.

Now, a couple of weeks ago, my mother asked if I had read this Fifty Shades book.  
Being so busy, I was completely oblivious to the book.  Or books, as its a trilogy...
She did not elaborate on what this set of books was about...
So, when the set of books popped up in my book suggestions, I was like what the heck?? It's on the best seller list. I'll give them a whirl.

Now, I know my mother is peeing her pants laughing at me right now.
You see, I can't even watch people kiss on our soap opera each day.
She laughs at me watching our soap...
Anyways, I am positive she is laughing at me knowing how I would be reading something of this sort...
Thanks, Lisa... 
Having to flip through the pages to get to a point where I could open my eyes again.
I know, I'm a silly little girl....
Anyways, These are a great read! And contrary to what the media (that I have now not stopped hearing) would like to have you believe, this is a roller coaster ride of two very interesting young people that I'm sure we all can identify with.  But at the same time, a modern fairy-tale to get lost in.

Anyways,   I have a pile of projects waiting for me to finish. 
So, maybe I will have a project for you all next week!  Maybe not...

Now, it's time for the
Making It With Allie Party!
