Society Shirts!

Hi Blogger Friends!

I wanted to share with you a new little project that I am working on! I hope you like it and will help me spread the word! I can not wait to see how it GROWS over the next 12 months!

It all began...

Part 1:

I was searching for a non-scary and non-busy Halloween shirt for my boys. I wanted something simple on a black shirt but could not find exactly what I was searching for in the department stores. I turned to Etsy but did not find anything there that fit my vision either. I decided to take this shirt idea into my own creative hands! I created 3 simple orange circles on my computer and personalized them with my boys' names. I then purchased 3 solid Circo black shirts from Target (for $4 ea.) and a pack of Up&Up dark transfer paper. After 10 minutes, I had that perfect Halloween shirt I was looking for!! Yay!

I loved how the shirts turned out and suprisingly, so did my husband! They were so simple to make that I could not wait to make more!

Part 2:

I was driving my boys to pre-school one morning, shortly after their BIG TO-DO 4th birthday party, and started to think about the little ones who do not get birthday celebrations thrown in their honor. I felt a deep calling to share my hobby with kids who might be in a situation where there is not an opportunity for a celebration. When I returned home, I threw out my idea to a friend, who immediatly connected me with Angels, a foster family Network in OKC. From there, I was connected with the OKC Emergency Shelter. It just so happens that some kids are unfortunatly in the shelter over their birthday. I could not imagine being taken from my home (usually for a not-so great reason) and be in a shelter with no friends or family over my birthday. The one special day we celebrate the miracle of our birth.

Part 3:

It was a Thursday when I giddily asked if I could bring birthday supplies to the shelter on days children were celebrating their birthday. I could keep it simple with themed plates, napkins, confetti and a few candles -- just something to make them feel special and recognized. 

**They agreed and our partnership started**

On Friday, my boys and I delivered a black bag filled with purple, pink and zebra print Sweet 13 goodies for a girl who would be celebrating her 13th birthday on Saturday! I was told she was happy that someone was asking about her birthday wishes and then beemed during her birthday dinner! It made me feel so wonderful knowing that I could share something so simple! I hope to continue sharing this birthday gift every chance I get! :)

Part 4:

I launched Society Shirts on Etsy! For $3 you can buy an image to use at home on your own shirt! The $3 will be go to purchasing birthday in a bag supplies for children in the OKC emergency shelter. 

Here are a few pictures of the shirts that I have currently made for my boys! (I hope to update the blog with better pictures and as I make more shirts.)
