Capt Deb cancer update

Now that sounds like fun. We are going to be needing pictures. Just where do you find shoe paint, anyway?

Ditto to Sara's words, exactly!!  What fun and a delightful diversion!

Well, I thought I  was having a bad month.  Just looking for a little company on a rainy day and got hit over the head with this one.  How does one person get continually hammered and bounce back with sparkly shoe projects?  Only you, Darlin', only you.
I'm sure you'll be fine, but really, you do have better things to do with your time.  Enough hospitals already!

Now where's that nickel I had. 
Heading over to emotional/cognitive to purge vampires,

You know, they let me wear my socks into surgery.  Maybe you should jazz up a pair of socks, too, so you can dazzle them all the way into the operating room!

Great idea, Priscilla!  We can all wear our pirate sox like we used to when someone was having surgery or treatments, when Capt Deb has her surgery...that should send some good vibes!

Capt,
   We're expecting some photos on this web site, called If Shoes Could Kill.

Well, Deb, you certainly do sound like the adventuous pirate type. Glad you have the inclination for such creative projects. You're obviously one who is not willing to let the "stuff" get you down. You keep going, girl!

Donnalynn,
I found some glow in the dark skull headed socks at Walmart.............back ground is black and the area hoot!  I may add some bling to "jazz" them up a bit!  The background is black on mine, but they have them in a lot of colors.

Deb,

I haven't been on here much, but saw your update on Facebook. You're definitley in my thoughts & prayers.

No problem... you got this!

The painted shoe site is here:

But you can get the paint cheaper here:

Official pirate sox were started by the PBW crew when someone bought a boatload of 3 pack assorted jolly roger sox in pink, black and white and mailed them out to a bunch of us.  The skulls had little pink bows on them. 

I painted my third pair of shoes today--a pair of rather boring black ballet flats with a leather flower are at this point a bright raspberry although the flower is still black.  It might end up deep metallic purple with a few Swarovsky crystals on it.

 
 I have a pair of boring Clarks clogs which may end up with lil pink skulls on 'em!!

In case you dint know, I made a living for years hand-painting t-shirts, clothing, bags, hats, visors, pillows, etc in between captain-for-hire gigs.

I cruise the accessories dept at Walmart on a regular basis--that's where I found all the pink skull and crossbones bandanas that I mailed out to people when I first started recruiting crew for the PBW.  I'll have to check them out!!

 Capt Deb, I can not see the skull and cross bones now without thinkiing of you!     Seems there are alot of them out there, some on kids toys and clothes but other places too.         Occ think if should pass it on if in a place that is one that others would see it!
        The footware artistry sounds very neat!       Not all of us are super creative!    I enjoy seeing those that are!             Cheryl R

I think my brain has shut off ... was reading about painted shoes and pirates and vampires and think what the heck does that have to do with anything and had to go back and read several pages to remind myself of things ...too tired and not fully functional

as for vampires ... sarcasm gets rid of them for me when garlic breath doesn't ... ain't got time for vampires feeding on me so don't allow it

Pirates ... I am suppose to make a tatti bogles (scare crow of sorts ) to go on the square and had read a mesage sent me and couldn't figure out how people here knew about pirates here as the Tattie Bogles have a pirate theme this year ... winner gets $5 out of every $20 entry fee and there were about 100 last year ... money goes to local charitable causes ... I am entering one to take a chance at winning some money for my Girl Scout Troop's bronze award ... the girls are helping design our Tattie Bogle

then shoes ... painted at that ... brain humming off key trying to figure it out ...glad there were notes to re-read and figure out what my brain scrambled ...

OK...back to present ... the painted shoes sound so cool ... my 11 year old would love to paint shoes ... she has painted everything else from pants , shirts and hats ... shoes would be right up her ally ...

Our walmart has alot of pirate stuff ...and I saw some in Claire's when I stopped in the mall last week to get something to eat ...even Dollar tree has pirate things ...

Keep up the painting of shoes and your spirit in this new fight ... and thank goodness for good doctors with little hands ...

if this makes no sense just toss it come morning ... I am almost typing while unconscious
