Personalized T-Shirts

Like personalized t-shirts? I am trying out a new site which may have ‘photo shirts’ — if I can be sure there is no problem with band members of groups represented in the Brother’s Band Family group? If 1 person says no, I will come up with a unique design, Here’s what I have available so far:

New Belt Shaping Up Nicely

Have been working on a new belt.
Color included are:
Tuquoise, Black, hot pink, and white.
Pattern: white diamonds bordered by hot pink, alternated with black X’s bordered by turquoise.
Width = about 2 inches.
Length? (Yet to be determined).
Will continue to work on this piece, until I get it at least long enough for a person with a small waist.
Photos will be added, soon.

"Chaos Colors"

A brief summary by Joe Scraper Jr.

Scraper Mountain straddles the Alabama – Georgia border. Extending from Cherokee County, Alabama northeast into Chattooga and Floyd Counties in Georgia. Recent maps may show the name being Bogan Mountain and Bogan Peak instead of Scraper Mountain. After the Cherokee were driven out by the white invasion, a man named George Washington Bogan came to live there. The highest peak on Scraper Mountain is easily less than 2000 feet, so don’t expect snow-capped peaks or ski resorts. Some have questioned why mounts of this size like Scraper Mountain in Alabama or Walkingstick Mountain in Oklahoma are called mountains at all. Pike’s Peak they are not, but if you live at such a place and walk, or ride a horse or wagon regularly up and down the grades, you soon come to call it a mountain. An old worn down mountain perhaps, but a mountain just the same.
