Everyone’s best blog bud, Pam, is turning 30 years old today! Back on my triumphant day, she told me that she was fearing turning 30. So like any caring, loving friend, I decided I would find a way to rub her face in her 30-ness as much as possible. And what better way than to make her wear a shirt featuring herself, declaring her 30-ness?
I pulled out the freezer paper and my fabric paints, and I got to work, building Pam from the bottom up.
I used this photo as my guideline. Those pigtails are so distinctively her, but the glasses really make it Pam, don’t they? And though you can’t tell, I did put sparkly fabric paint on to give it the rhinestones.
Of course, this is all in the manner of an elaborate and time-consuming gag gift—nothing like the amazing blouse she made me—but I hope it brings her a similar level of joy. And here’s to embracing our age, no matter what it is! xoxo and happiest of happys, Pam—you wear 30 well!

that is incredibly awesome, and such a great likeness! hee
Fantastic!!!!!
It looks just like her! Tell Pam we insist on photos of her modeling that tee!
that is so cool! I’ve been playing with freezer paper stencils, but haven’t yet graduated to filling in blank spaces. only outlines for now. :)
I love it! I don’t think it’s a gag gift at all! And green is such an appropriate color. She would blend right in with her wall.
very cool!
Oh, I had seen that pic on her Flick page, but didn’t even realize that you made the shirt!! Awesome gift :)
That’s fantastic! And echoing Kirsten, it does look just like her and we do insist on a photo of her modeling it.
Just the quintessential Pam, you’ve captured her Pamness well!
As she is the queen of the gag gift (who could forget the diorama), she’s sure to love it. You’re a good friend.
thanks, Minty, for the response. i completely didn’t look at the whole thing. i’m having a very ‘duh’ day!
Wow – you’re so super-duper crafty! Love the t-shirt design, as I’m sure Pam does too!
that is just such a brilliant likeness. you totally got her essence.
What a genius gift! It looks just like her & I love the photo of her wearing it!!!! :)
Love it! You totally captured Pam. An what a sweet and thoughtful present, too.
That is seriously so great.
Hilarious!
I love it. That’s so fantastic!
Awesome.
Well done! That’s quite and accomplishment.
She’ll totally rock her new T!
Wicked cool!
What a great idea! She looked really cute in it!
What a great gift! You totally captured the Pam-ness of Pam.
totally cute shirt!
This shirt is so totally bad ass and so thoroughly Pam. Awesome job.
what a great gift!
So. Totally. Amazing. I LOVE ELABORATE GAG GIFTS! And this one is also useful because it’s a perfect layering tee. So I get to wear it under stuff year-round and no one even KNOWS I’m a creepster with my own face on my shirt.
So, um, it’s been more than 24 hours, and I haven’t taken it off yet. Do I have to? Can’t I just get in the shower with it, Ferris Bueller-style?
what a totally fab gift! and a big Happy Birthday to Pam!
:)
Completely amazing! What a great gift to celebrate this big day.
Such a cool Tee – and I think she loves it, gag or no.
I have meaning to come over and tell you that this gift seriously rocks. That is all.
