Freezer paper stencils

Thanks to my wonderful friend Melanie, I recently learned how to make freezer paper stencils. Mel - you need a blog to show off all your crafty skills. You'll just have to take my word for it she is awesome!

The way it works is pretty simple.

1. Draw on the paper side of the freezer paper
2. Cut out your stencil with an xacto knife
3. Put the paper (waxy side down) on your fabric and iron over the stencil
4. Place another piece of paper on the inside of the shirt so the paint doesn't bleed
5. Paint your stencil with fabric paint
6. Wait 4 hours and peel paper away

Here are the ones I have made so far. It is so much fun - try it!

Don't Scream on the Airplane

My husband and I have this inside joke that everything will be ok as long as you don't scream on the airplane. The theory goes that everyone wants to scream on the airplane but my feeling is that if you do it's all over because nothing is holding you back anymore. It looks like my theory has been tested. At least right now, it seems the first part of my hypothesis may be right. I hope for Mr. Slater's sake the last part isn't right. But he did slide, not scream so I think he's ok.
