I was teasing about your kitties. Glad to know they're still with us.

A pnuematic accordion? Sounds cool. Be sure to post a pic if you can!

Ok, I need some help. I have a pin that the very crafty Diva made for me. I love this pin because it is so unique. The problem is, one of the charms fell off. It was a Shrinky Dink charm that looked like a package of Charmin. *DTBS reference* Everything on the pin has to do with one of Al's songs. Anyway, if there is anyone out there who could make me a new Charmin charm, I would be eternally grateful. I would reward this person with the Al goodie of their choice. So, anyone who can help me, and likes chocolate and/or cookies, let me know. Btw, the dimensions should be 3/4" x 3/4", or thereabouts. The pin also needs a hole for a C-ring in the left corner.

Here is a picture of the pin before I lost the Charmin charm:

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

That's the shrunken dimensions? I wonder how much they shrink? I have some shrinky dink around here somewhere. I wonder if I can find it?

I'll let you know if I do.

Yes, that's the shrunken dimensions. I measured the box of Froot Loops that is still on the pin, and it is 3/4" long. I figure the Charmin should be square, and I'm fairly certain it was. It looks like it was almost as long as the box of Froot Loops *Cheerios, Apple Jacks, Cheerios reference* Let me know if you figure out how much they shrink. It could probably go as small as 1/2" x 1/2", if that's any easier. Thanks so much, Bobbi, for considering helping me.

It shrinks to be about 1/3 the origional size. I just happen to have shrinky dink paper right here. HEHE

Oh, thanks, Jenni! Hmm, can you print an image onto Shrinky Dink paper? And if so, would you be willing to make my Charmin charm? I guess you would start with an image that was 2 1/4" x 2 1/4", based on what you said. If you can't help me, maybe Bobbi could use that info, or anyone else out there who'd like to make me very happy.

Like I said, I'll make it worth your while. You can have an Al cookie or an Al sucker.
