Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 29, 2011 at 10:49pm: Oh goodness no Pam, It is definitely not too late to order. The orders for your group are coming in every day :-) I am even still getting orders for the 6-10 PIR group so we have time. Just send me a friend request and I will send you the info. If you don't get a response from me within 24 hours send me an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com The messages on this site can be temperamental sometimes lol.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 29, 2011 at 10:46pm: Thanks, I never tried stencils with that kind of paint before. It sounds like a lot of work lol. You should send me a pic of one of your shirts sometime. I would love to see your work.

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 29, 2011 at 10:37pm: Ooh, I see. Yeah I bought some stencils that end up looking the same font as the ribbons, and with the glitter paint gel stuff it seemed to look very similar so I was wondering if we happened to use the same stuff haha.You do a great job(:

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 29, 2011 at 10:25pm: No I don't use paint. I wish I was good enough at painting letters and numbers to get them to look that good lol. I tried painting them but they don't look near as good and the pictures never do them justice. I use several different things including stickers and some parts I have to make myself.

Comment by diannep on May 29, 2011 at 10:21pm: No, Pam. It's not too late! Go to Lala's page and comment on her page or message her!

Comment by Pam T 09/213 on May 29, 2011 at 10:19pm: the ribbons are beautiful!!! Guess I joined too late to order one?!?!?!?

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 29, 2011 at 10:08pm: @Lala, do you use the Tulip brand fashion glitter shimmer paint on those? I've done T shirt work with it and it looks pretty similar so now I'm curious... (:

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 29, 2011 at 9:50pm: For those who have ordered ribbons to wear for PIR. I have been working on this pretty much all evening lol. The pics are the hardest part. It is so hard to get a good pic especially in the evening. But I had several of you who have ordered ribbons who wanted a little something extra added to them for the Centennial Celebration. So I have added a star shaped flad and 100 below it just under the name of the soon to be Sailor and still have the DIV on the right. This one is Navy with gold, silver looks just as good and it has a music note because this recruit is in choir and band. The name is partially hidden just as an extra precaution. Hopefully I can get some better pics tomorrow in the sunlight. There is no extra charge for the added stuff and it will be added to all the ribbons for this PIR group. I hope you guys like it :-)

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 29, 2011 at 5:55pm: Thats so great, be sure to send her that picture!

Comment by Ronnie - Proud Sailor Mom on May 29, 2011 at 5:21pm: Pam, what a great tribute to our military - past and present. Your son must be so proud of his sister. Thanks for sharing.
