CRAZY SHOES

One of my twin 15 year old teenagers, Joe,  is in the High School Musical, "Pippin" this week and may I add, with pride, that he is one of only a few freshmen selected to perform.

Anyway....the teachers asked each student to do something with their shoes to make them wild and crazy looking. So we grabbed a pair of Alan's (older brother) old shoes. I mean, these things were o l d! Soles worn through, bits and pieces starting to fall off them....and....worse still, he still wore them.....o f t e n.....well trust me....NO MORE! Cos' look what I did to them!
As soon as some of the other students saw Joe's shoes they wanted a pair...so yesterday, I worked on 3 more pairs.....a very large pair for one of the young men, David, and two smaller pairs for a couple of the girls, Daisia and Abbey. Abbey's were a really small pair of practice dance shoes...

And here is what they turned into after I spent 4 hours on them and crawled into bed at 2:30am!!!!
And one of the girls did a great lace on Joe's shoes...need to copy that!!!

The premier was tonight....I hope they all held up and that everyone did well!

Think I'm going to myself a pair for tennis!!!
Oh and to make a lot of you feel good, this is what my laundry room looked like this morning when I got up...ugh!
Hugs

    de so I can get this figured out. By the way I've bookmarked your internet site: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6999010445125539602&postID=2535056771263489319 and will be visiting often. With thanks!

  3. I don't know whether it's just me or if everybody else encountering issues
    with your website. It appears as though some of the text on
    your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me
    know if this is happening to them too? This might be a problem with my internet browser
    because I've had this happen previously. Many thanks

  4. Today, I went to the beach front with my children.

    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear
    and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
    ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  5. Hi. I noticed your blog title, "Blogger: Wise Designs Inspirations."
    does not really reflect the content of your website.
    When creating your site title, do you believe it's best to write it for Search engine marketing or for your viewers? This is something I've been battling with due
    to the fact I want great search rankings but at the same time
    I want the best quality for my website visitors.

  7. Hey there! I am about to begin my own website and
    was wondering if you know where the best place to
    buy a blog url is? I'm not even sure if that's what its known as?
    (I'm new to this) I'm referring to "http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6999010445125539602&postID=2535056771263489319".

    Exactly how do I go about acquiring one of these for the website I'm making? Cheers

  14. I tend not to create a ton of comments, but i did some searching
    and wound up here "CRAZY SHOES". And I actually do have a couple of questions for
    you if you usually do not mind. Is it just me or does it look as if like
