Look what I made!

My mom and husband know how much I love personalized clothes for the boys. Monograms...be still my heart! Love them! And I also love matching clothes for the boys. However, now that they are in 2T and size 8, it's impossible to find anything matching. And my husband would probably kill me if I got matching monogrammed items for them. I guess Payton is a bit old for that...

Anyhow, I wanted to get something special for Payton to wear this year to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (we just purchased our tickets over the weekend - yay!!!). So I was browsing Etsy and came upon iron-on decals. I've seen them before, but never paid much attention to them. When I saw that they were only $2-$5, that caught my eye!

Basically, you purchase the jpg and the artists creates the personalized image and then emails it to you. For $3, I thought, I have to try this!

So, I purchased a couple plain, black t-shirts ($5 for Parker's from Target & $3.50 for Payton's from Fruit of the Loom):


And a package of Avery Dark T-Shirt Transfers for about $15 (sounds expensive, but there's a LOT of paper in this packet - I probably won't ever have to purchase another pack).

And finally, I picked out and personalized the decal from a wonderful Etsy site called "tnmomof2" for just $2.50 each (no shipping because it's just emailed to you).
There are a TON of sites on Etsy that offer these iron-on decals, but I liked her selection the best, and she had the Disney font, which was what I wanted for our Mickey Party!
 Put it all together and you get:
One personalized shirt for Payton:
 And one personalized shirt for Parker:
Did I mention that they kinda match too?
I realize Payton probably won't wear this to school, but he'll wear it on our Disney trip and I'll definitely get some shots of the two of them wearing them at a pumpkin patch.
Happy Mama! :)
