Camo Time!

Yesterday, I mentioned working a fight in Pueblo for Wounded Warriors.
MMA and a charity for soldiers? You KNOW I'm in!

First, I had to make the outfits, so of course I turned to Pinterest.
I searched DIY Camo and bingo.

I needed to make a combo of this:



And this:

Our First fight
Circa our last fight

I started off with this:

Did a little:

And topped it off with:

I created the belts using Rit Dye and this method.

Which eventually turned into:

Do they come off classy and sassy?
Cuz that was the goal ;)

Honestly, I think that my favorite part of these events is making the outfits.
I love tapping into my creative side and find the process quite therapeutic.
Anyone else feel me on that?
I mean, Halloween is coming up...time to get our juices flowin'!

I can also officially announce the winner of the My Memeries Software giveaway!


Lynn blogs over at Illegally Blonde and is pretty darn awesome.
She even rocks the "I Support The Troops" button. You KNOW that is the way to my heart.
Congrats Lynn, and thanks for all who entered.
You guys ROCK.
