thank you
[A big thank you to everyone for their support and encouragement. I am trying so very hard to be positive during this whole medical and family drama for my little darling and you are helping more than my clumsy words could tell you. I especially appreciate those of you who are, unsolicited, spreading the word. Like roman sock. And dot and mae. (also a good chance to meet lovely new blogs!). It all just makes me feel so hopeful for the world in general--all sorts of rosy hues I'm seeing! --Valerie, Marian's lucky mama]

ordering superstar tees

**edit: ordering instructions now on the blog's main page**
Mom note:
Thanks so much for all of your kind notes and interest in the superstar tees. I'm ironing out the order & hope to submit it tomorrow. To start, I'm going to just order a batch of 3 dozen to sell, then see how it goes from there. In later orders, other colors or styles may be available, but for now, we are ordering light blue printed with white, because Marian is demanding it (her "most beautiful like the sky" color), and choosing Gildan tees, because they are my picky husband's current favorite, fit-wise. You can see the men's here, the ladies here, and the youth here.
If you want to order a superstar tee, please e-mail me at three_goats@yahoo.com, with "superstar tee order" in the subject line. Let me know what style and size you want, and the address where I should send them. I would prefer you just pay via paypal, using the same e-mail address, but if you want to send me a check or money order, also indicate that, and I will send you back my mailing address. One tee will be $10, including shipping, and additional tees $8 each (for local folks, ie, no shipping hassle involved, make that $7 & $6).
When you get your tee shirt, please send us a photo of you wearing it (digital to the same address is fine; I'll print them), so we can put them all up in Marian's hospital room: the superstar supporters who love and believe in our very brave, extra-charming girl--the original superstar!
2/29/08 update: our first order of shirts should be here in about a week, and will be mailed promptly. Response was better than I expected (thank you!), and I waited while orders kept coming in, then went on vacation...but we ordered extra little superstar treats to include as a tardiness apology. And ordered over 100 t-shirts, even before we sent out our friends and family newsletter! I ordered a couple extra each of the most popular sizes, so some may still be available, but also plan on doing another t-shirt order on March 21st--there's your deadline. Thanks!

what I'm working on for project superstar
snowglobe necklaces
[We made snowglobe necklaces on Saturday, and whipup.net is going to use our tutorial on their website. I'll post the link when it's up; she hopes to squeeze it in before the end of the month. In the meantime, here's Marian's effort. We love this project because it repurposes the medical supplies we are swamped with. For those of you whose homes aren't bulging with little shot bottles, kits for this project are the first project superstar fundraiser item available for purchase at purplepetunia.etsy.com.]
project superstar

Some of the things that I'm going to sell for project superstar are star wish necklaces, superstar T-shirts [at cost, for support, not profit], beaded barrettes, drawings, porcelain hamster playsets, my sister's books, and snowglobe necklace kits. I'm going to sell them in my mom's etsy shop, purple petunia, and she'll give the money to me.
[mom note: thanks to all of those who love Marian and want to help her. She's really excited about this project, and supporting it will mean a lot to her. It's kind of unusual to plan a BMT so far ahead of time, and I thought that having a service project would give her something positive to focus on as she waits. She is also taking her research very seriously...we'll post her BMT informative poster here when she finishes it. It is, of course, very detailed! When we're in the hospital, we'll be limited as to what she can take and use, but mail and drawings and photographs will be very important. She thinks that it would be great if you sent her jokes, since she heard on one of her learning DVDs that jokes help. We are reprinting her superstar tees and distributing them at cost + shipping. I think that photos of all of her favorite people in their superstar tees will be something wonderful for her to have on the walls of her hospital room during her long stay. We'll keep you posted here.]
