Have I told you recently that I love you?

It is freeway close for me, and light rail adjacent for you! As long as you don't drive there and pass me on the right, the love remains. One of my classmates has to have surgery in Portland this summer, so I know I am making at least one trip at some point to drive them back.

My chapter decorates boats (wooden board in shape of sailboat).

Let me see if I can get a decent pic of mine (I have one from my Little and of course the one my Big made for me when I was a NM).

I don't know if I can find a pic of it, but the one I made for my Little Sis was decorated as the "Burn Book" from Mean Girls. It was pretty much the highlight of my sorority crafting career.

I would love to see this! My chapter has never gotten into the whole paddle/boat thing for some reason so I love to see others creativity!

Here is the plaque that I made for my big. I tried to be creative with it.



In the background I painted a sailboat in silver and the pearls were supposed to be Audrey Hepburn-ish. My big was happy.

^^^ Oh, I really like how you used the pearls!! The background sailboat is also such a good idea!! Nice work!

p.s. - you have amazing handwriting for using puffy paint! Mine always come out as blobs!

I am going to try to find pictures from my boyfriends formal. He's a Pi Kappa Phi, and they had some pretty awesome paddles this year.

I found some non paddles that are pretty cool. I really like the creed over crest things. Maybe summer present for working?

Wow! The most I could find were dolphin shaped paddles... hahaha. I really want the creed over the crest and the membership pin one.

Thanks for posting these!

I like the creed over crest one.

When I selected AOII from the drop down, for crest is says "coming soon". Um, sorry, I don't think so!

I understand the "traditional" paddle is made of wood, would it be wrong to make it out of some other material?
