Tattoo Manufacturing Blog

Since I started fundraising for the 3-Day two years ago, I have been using temporary tattoos from a company called Tattoo Manufacturing.  They have great pricing, their pink ribbon tattoos look great, and the quality is outstanding.
I would give tattoos to anyone that made a donation, I gave them out on the walk, and when I sent camp mail to walkers this year, I included some tattoos.   And whenever I was doing anything related to breast cancer, I wore them all over my arms!  And this year, I even had custom tattoos made!



Well, a couple of weeks ago, Tattoo Manufacturing asked their facebook followers to post pictures of themselves with their tattoos, so I told them about my fundraising and sent in some pictures.  Not long after, they asked for my permission to write about my 3-Day involvement and post pictures in their blog!  Of course I said yes!  I felt honored to be recognized for my efforts and was happy to praise a company who's product I believe in.

You can check out the blog here: Tattoo Manufacturing Blog

And don't forget, if you ever need tattoos, including custom, I recommend them 100%!  www.tattoosales.com

Thank you Tattoo Manufacturing!  You Rock!

Meet the Rescue Hooters!

Walk or crew in 2013?  That was the question.  With walking, you can register pretty much whenever you want.  With crewing, however, especially if you want to be on a specific crew, you need to register ASAP.

Having become closer and closer over the past year, I decided I was going to ask my friend and co-worker Celena if she would crew with me.  She agreed without hesitation--one of the many traits I love about her!

We decided to try to get a coveted sweep van assignment, and we did!

Sweep van crews work in teams of two driving a commercial van up and down the route each and every day, all day, to pick up any walkers that need/want to be transported to the next pit stop.  Too tired?  Too sore?  Need a break?  Take a sweep van.

Although it's a lot of work, it's also a lot of fun, because you get to theme out your van and have fun with it!  There is, for example, a couple that always does a hippie van...they dress in tie dye and play 60s music...it's great!  Last year there was also a Pirates of the Caribbean van and an Airline themed van, among others.

Brainstorming for a theme, Celena came up with RESCUE HOOTERS, a plumbing theme.  We aren't sure what we're going to do for costumes and decorations yet, but here is our logo:


My dad even had patches made for us in Thailand!

I'll keep you posted as we get closer to November!
