    Pink tie dye shirts sounds great...and signing too..

    Val... tell terri I can't get enough of the lemonade drinks...lol.. and is it appropriate to wear the scarf skiing..?..lol

    Madison... these are just little hills... maybe DH can come too this year...

    ok.. watching grand daughter today, she's alittle under the weather and with all the crud at school its better she's here...

    take care all.. BTW the first PINKSTOCK was started Feb. 14, 2007.. snow storm and no one was at work but me...lol...

    Here is a thought...anyone interested in learning "salsa dancing" at the next pinkstock?  I think it would go great with our care free "woodstock" attitude, and a few drinks.  I can teach y'all some salsa dancing sexy moves.  It will be so much fun.  I have some good CD's from the salsa queen "Celia Cruz" and some other famous salsa bands and could put together a CD for us.  It's also a great way to exercise our stress away. MB is this OK with you and your family?  I don't want to offend anyone with the music.  What do you say?

    I live in Rochester, NY and would love to attend!  I like the bra decorating idea.  The salsa dancing and drinks sound like a blast.  I will be a hotel dweller also.

    Salsa dancing!!!  MB will only let me do that if I promise to stay on the ground!!  Sounds like load of fun though. 

    I am seeking embellishments for the bra project...thats going to be so much fun! 

    I will get the tie dye color and the fabric markers so be sure to bring a tshirt! 

    We should all wear our embellished bra's over the tshirts for a group  picture! 

    Have lots of ideas for easy...non messy...kids crafts.  Good thing I have a van now...gonna need it to haul all the stuff to MB. 

    MB...may need a camper...not sure I can take the tenting idea...happy to share with anyone who wants a camper partner.

    Hugs all

    I read more about the Artful Bras and they begin with a 38 padded, under wire bra.  Apparently the padding helps keep the shape.  The color is not important, as it gets mostly of entirely covered over.   

    Do any of you have a button box ?  I saw one with buttons and bows and thought that was a neat idea for using - "recycling" ...things that are sitting around taking up space.   I am thinking of one BIG button in the center, gradually getting smaller and smaller towards the edges.

    Happy Monday.  I was cleaning out some dresser drawers and came upon a couple of swim suits... the idea of doing something like the bra project hit me...  I am just throwing this out in case there is anyone out there with a LOT more creativity than I have...

    I picked up some cool embellishments for the bra project...I also have tons of beads I can bring. DD has a huge box of buttons...IF she will part with them LOL.

    Watch you local thrift store for old jewelry as embellishments!

    I'm going to make one using fabric glue/hot glue/etc and see what works best.

    Will need lots of rubber bands for the tie dying project...I have the fabric pens and the dye. 

    Sooo excited!

    I am going to modify my bra plan to include a swim suit.   Sew up the bottom, put in some moss, plant a pretty vine and embellish with smily sun, flower appliques, etc.   Some stores that sell costume jewelry have a "broken" box and you can ask to raid it for embellishments.   Tell them it is a project for cancer survivors.

    I'll too need help with the bra project, not sure I understand the concept?  Are we having a bra burning bash by the camp fire?

    Go to this website to get an idea of what some of us are going to TRY to do.   "embellish"  is the key word.   I suggested we wear them OVER tshirts or tank tops and take lots of photos.

    We're still going to try to make it this year! I didn't get that week of vacation so I'll have to try to get those days off when I bid my August schedule in July. Avery loves to dance so any style of dancing is good for us. Anyone for Disco???  :)

    ok...made a quick run into Joanne Fabrics today and found lots of clearance embellishments...for a quarter apiece!!!  Now that's my kind of deal.  Here is a pic of what I have gathered so far minus ribbon, yarn and beads...

    Going to try to "embellish" a bra later and see if the glue holds up or if we need something stronger or more permanent
