BREAKING DAWN PART TWO

Well, it seemed like I brought my own paartay to Books a Million. Was there any doubt? HELLO, McFLY?? My car was full with six people, all family. We all went sporting our shirts. It was so much fun making them. (thoughts flashed through my head of going into business) I always have thoughts of making a dollar. They were so fun to do and have.
All six of us piling out in our pitch black shirts and glowing white iron ons instantly put me in a euphoric state. I felt gangsta like but in a good way! I thought this must be how the Cullens must feel. Well,... minus the BEAUTIFUL part. People would ask where we got our shirts. I preened and gleefully replied, "I made them". Yes, I saw the look of envy in their eye. ::HATERS:: just kidding.
Here is my posse!

My cuzzio and brah given me the SHAKA!

Warrior and Yadira. Her shirt read, My heart belongs to Warrior and his shirt said, I'm Warrior. and on the back it read TEAM WARRIOR

This little girl was 2nd in line and I asked her if she would get my book too. She gladly did. I was 4th in line so it was NO BIGGIE! But, I'm a bratt. I did not want to STAND in the line. I wanted to go about and socialize. I am always looking for the next opportunity.

Kells and I. It was originally Kells, her daughter and I. But R decided to hi-tail it off to Utah! :I spit at Utah: (Not really, I lovey UT, there just isn't a job offering for us, so back to my original thought,:: I spit AT Utah::

WE arrived a little after 11pm and it was a little slow for my taste. They gave a few prizes out at 10pm, but I am quite happy we arrived much later. I tend to only leave my home and family for events that are worth my time. I intend to be edgamacated or entertained. So, expectations are fairly high, if I choose to meet for dinner, a movie or any sort of gathering.
It was ok but I might have to inquire a few more questions for the next book release.
Other church members who were there. We posed with our purchased books.

My mom did not pre-order her book. She was able to purchase one tonight as well.

Random Stranger very proud of his book.

Beauty. She met up with two friends and she was outta dare.

Holy cow, you can tell ya'll had a BLAST!!! Parrtay! I got my book this morning at Costco! The plan is to wait till I get on the plane tomorrow morning to read it... humm... wonder if I can really wait??? Have you already finished yours???

tammy said...

Are you going to make any more of these to sell? They are fabulous!

Jan said...

You guys are a riot. I love how you went all out. I had a friend that works at the book dept. in Walmart. She was so excited about the big midnight rush. She had a blast.

I am going to have to cave I guess and read these before the movie.

Can I tell you how cool it is to see my sister on your blog!! HOW fun is that! SO, to make the world even smaller, do you have relatives in Hawaii???? My oldest served there in the Tongan and Samoean wards. He ended up with three different missionary tag languages!

You rock! Love your blog!

Shannon said...

Loved the book! You finished yet?

Cheryl said...

I was at a seminary meeting and couldn't pick up my already paid for book and didn't get it until 7pm. I was sick but well enough to read, I am well into it. I can't belive I have joined the vampire reading junkies!! JeNece is playing catch up and we have almost talked Tiff into it. I can't wait for the movie! I need a shirt.... hmmm

Teri said...

You do NOT spit on UT! We need to find you a job offer here! UT LOVES you, loves you loves you! You guys have fun. It would have been more fun with me there, but that goes with out saying... I'll get my pictures up, but they are carappp! I took my old camera (stupid me, I think it was mad that I replaced it), all the pictures were blurry, I spit on the Cybershot! hahaha. I'm stealing that one. So you finished yet. I need to email you and get your phone number again. I don't have it anymore, I don't think. I'm glad that you partayed even though you aren't "that" into the books. I thought this one was by far the best, and I'm "that" into them!

Teri said...

I always write books on your comments. Sorry, but I know you miss talking to me so much so I must!

Sounds like a great party. It seems everyone's blog is talking about Twilight nowadays. I've been pretty slow getting with the program so I should pick up the book soon. And you made special T-shirts! They're great! You're so creative! Is there anyhting you can't do? I would love to meet you in person someday. I'm sure I'll be intimidated, but based on what I've gleaned from your blog you seem like someone I can learn a lot from.

ktmay said...

you are such a hoot. you seem like the coolest person to be girlfriends with. i only read the first twilight book. it was all right, but not good enough for me to want to read books 2 and 3, even though i had all 3 books! i gave them to my little sister and she loved them, so i thought about giving them a 2nd shot, but then she gave them to my niece...and next thing you know they had been passed around to 10 different people, LOL.i love the shirts. how fun. i have never made t-shirts before. did they have any Anti-Twilight people there? now, that would have been funny if there had been people with shirts that said 'Edward sucks"...wait that wouldn't work (people probably had those, huh?)...it'd have to be like "Edward's a douche" or something

Redhoodoos said...

You're hilarious - except you can't spit at Utah - cuz I live in Utah! Glad you got your book. Glad you partayed.

Kalae said...

Well i'm sure you'll be happy to know that as I was waiting in the stinking Detroit on our extended layover there, that I purchased the 1st book @Borders, and i'm currently wearing the shirt u made for me, as i'm reading the book!!!

I LOVE IT! Your shirts are brilliant! As far as your questions about my post of daughter room...hope this helps.
FIRST of all ANYONE could do this so have fun if you decide to. I got the Damask Panel (one) at Target just recently along with the green accents and pillow with feathers/blanket. I love target as you can tell.
No worries about a 11x11 room...hers is actually a 10x10 (yes SMALL) I was really nervous about a black wall in that size but it turned out better than I thought. Actually it brings the eye up a bit further do to the Panel hanging so it worked out for the better. We are still not done, being busy with football season and practice has unfortunately kept us from finishing.
The Panel is tempera rally pinned to the ceiling with regular thumb tacks. We still need to staple gun the fabric to a skinny 2 " strip of wood and screw into the ceiling. Still working on getting to that :). The lamp was a Wal-Mart clearance - great find Right! Good luck, it was a fun change and the black wall made it drastic with not allot of effort compared to the change in the end. Thanks for the compliment

I love the shirts! I am jealous :)

Unknown said...

You guys are party animals!!!

I can't get into the books for the life of me...even if it is to only support another Mormon mom.

Lovin your shirts.

And, I forgot to tell you that you look great in those baptism photos...you are always talking about how you never work out, but I think you look great.

And, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you, like me, aren't afraid to photograph perfect strangers and to ask them to pose! You are the best.
