Here is the coolest thing I got from this lil genius. He said, "Mom I saw a YouTube video, where they advertised on a dollar. It was cool"!
Of course, I questioned writing on money and he told me that the rules are: you cannot write on any part that covers the denomination of the bill, or on the seal.
So, I remembered this handy lil item I bought at a yard sale for $.10 yes it says a dollar, but the sale was nearing it's end and they wanted to get rid of it, so it was $.10 (It was used by one family and was in great condition, I thought, DEAL!)
The most time consuming part, of this whole process, was setting this thing up. Pinching those tiny rubber letters with tweezers( I felt like a friggin' surgeon), making sure I wasn't stamping backward (yeah it started that way, luckily hindsight wasn't being a bitch to me and clued me in after 5 letters), and that whatever I put on it wasn't too long, for the stamp. Here is what I came up with.
After practice and reloading the stamp with ink, I was a stampin' fool. Next kid no.2 (I only call him that in public) told me I had to go to the gas station and exchange my 20's for ones and stamp them all ... I thought oh hell's no! but I said, "How's about, we go spend some duckets and we will take the stamp with us, and as I break 20's, we will stamp the dollar bills?" So we spent the day spreading the redesigndiva word all over Spring Lake, Mebane, Sanford, and Burlington, NC.
Here is another version. I figured if you dont have a stamp you can simply do this...
There it is folks, "advertising on a dollar". This is cool because it is a recycle project, as money is the only thing that goes away and comes back at a greater frequency rate than Jay Leno on Late night tv..(sorry had to get that in there).
Wadda ya think?

I think I need 2 get on that stat pronto!! I can just carry a stamper with me, doesn't get any easier.
p.s. As far as being to cheap to pay $300 for chests, I am too. I was initially buying them to resell for twice as much :o) May still sell one for the initial price of both..lol.
