Hi all!

We have set the date of September 27 for the Tie Day party.  It will be later in the afternoon, around 3 pm.

Anyone that is interested may come.  Just send me a PM and I will send details and my address.

 

Tell someone that you love them!

HI!

I must have missed the post about the tie dye party.  What is it?  Although tie die party sounds fun enough without the explanation.  Is it out by you? 

My husband and son will be camping with the scouts that weekend so it is just me and Brigid, but if it isnt a place for small kids let me know, I can maybe try to get a sitter. 

Thanks for the info in advance!

We have (at our house) the "Sometimes Annual Back-to-School Tie Dye Party".
This will actually be the 4th year in a row that we have done this.  We did it a time or two before, and a couple of times in our old house. 

I provide all the the chemicals and dyes, you bring whatever you want to dye, a snack to share and your own beverages.

Liv will have a rehearsal that day, so I thought I would shoot for 3 pm, but if there was enough interest from those of you who travel farther and wanted to come a little earlier, I could probably do 2 sessions.

Children are welcome, but must be supervised as the dye is VERY permanent and can be messy.  Brigid could play with my granddaughter, Riley (2) and the neighbors each have small ones too.  Jack just turned 1, Kelsy is 2 and Caden is 4.

Most people bring 3-4 (or more) things to dye.  Your imagination is the limit.  I usually go to Goodwill, Salvation Army and other resale shops to find white or light colored 100% cotton things to dye.  This is also a good time to salvage any light colored kids clothes that might be stained.  I once had a mom run back home and go through her son's "give away" box for more stuff to dye.  She salvaged a few things that she though he could never wear again.  I am going to do sheets and pillowcases (if I can find them at resale) and David wants to do ball caps.

It is always fun, and I will provide directions for rinsing the items the next day.  We can do this activity in the garage if it is raining, we have before!

Count us in!  Brigid and I would love to come, and I will look this week at all of especially Noah's stuff that could use some brightening.  How fun!  We are going to disney in Dec and maybe I will make us some fun shirts to wear while we are there.

If you want to PM me the directions, time and number, I would love to come. 

I may ask a friend if she wants to come too, so I have a driving and chase Brigid partner!  If that is ok.

Thanks for the invite!

Liz and I are planning on coming too!  Unfortunately, Nic is off at his other home, but Meredith is already going through her stuff and looking for cool stuff to dye!

Hey, you know Jacob and I will be there!  We'll head out right after Tyler's football game, which starts at 11am.  It's an away game but that should still be okay. 

PM me the directions, or just your address and I can mapquest/google them. woohoo, Jacob will be very excited!

Sounds like fun!  It is the day after my birthday so I can make myself a birthday present and see how creative I can get.   I too will need directions.

Hey Dawn,
sounds like so much fun....reminds me of my Grateful Dead/Jerry Garcia days.  My last tie dye shirt went to goodwill as it was a 4x and way too big now.   Earl & I may come if things are settled down here.   I'll have to let you know later, if its ok.  Earl can't understand my facination with all things tie dye...LOL

You can let me know whenever YOU know.  Absolutely not a problem.
