Birthday Week: Ammo turns Four!

Posted on October 5, 2012 by Ammo

Today is my Birthday! Hooray!

In the past four years I have been on so many adventures! From riding in airplanes, paddleboarding, performing with the Painting Ponies, painting pictures, and just lounging around the house – each day has been an amazing ride.

I’m looking forward to many more years of adventures – and I can’t wait to share them with all of you!

There are still so many things I have yet to do and see, and a World that is just begging to be sniffed by me!

So excuse me if I spend today shouting Hooray! a whole bunch of times, I’m just uber excited to be turning four – and I can’t wait to tear into my presents tonight.

Three cheers for me!

Now here’s to hoping I can stay awake for my party – being an adventurer is super exhausting!

Birthday Week: B-day Photoshoot – Sneak Peek

Posted on October 3, 2012 by Ammo

It’s becoming a yearly tradition now to take “Birthday Themed” photos of me during the week of my Birthday. And while I can hardly wait to show you how my photo shoot turned out this year, I figure if I have to wait a few more days to open my presents – then you should have to wait to see my photos!

Torturous I know, but it will all be worth it when you can see me in my spiffy party hat made by my pal Baxter’s mom.

The good news is – only 2 more days until I’m 4!

Birthday Week: DIY Pet Birthday Bandana

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Ammo

Birthdays call for celebration, and what better way to celebrate than a spiffy new bandana to let everyone know it’s your Birthday!

And because I want everyone to celebrate with me, here’s a tutorial I created to help you make your own pet a celebratory bandana.

DIY Pet Birthday Bandana

Materials:

Fabric
Ruler
Cutting Utensil
Screenprinting Ink (or acrylic paint mixed with Textile Medium)
Sponge Brush
Paint Tray
Rubber Stamp (we hand carved ours, or you can find out how to purchase one here)

Step 1: Using a ruler and cutting utensil, cut a bandana sized piece of fabric out of your material. We used a bandana I already had as a template, but you can also measure your pet’s neck and add about 4″ to be able to tie it. You might also opt to sew the edges of your bandana to prevent fraying before moving on to step 2.

Step 2: You will need your HOORAY! stamp for this part (my mom carved mine, find out how to carve a stamp here or find out how to purchase one here). Use your sponge brush to apply screen printing ink or acrylic paint mixed with Textile Medium to the stamp.
