MY sign turned out pretty good. I hand sketched the letters (not too fond of the I, bu what you going to do) and I LOVE the glitter. I used silver glitter puff paint for the outline, and about three coats of mod podge glue and loose BLUE glitter and then redid the outline with silver glitter again. Had just enough! I did a first coat, shook off the excess glitter, put more glue on parts that were missing glitter, shook it off, and repeated that step until all letters were covered in a rich blue glitter. Dad helped in the shaking off the glitter as the sign is bigger than me. I'm going to let it dry over night, pick up any glitter boogers in the white area and then going to seal it with a spray shiny finish tomorrow in hopes that keeps the glitter on it until Sunday.

What do you think? Dad thinks I am bound to get on TV this time.

I'm bringing a silver and black sharpie and who knows, maybe someone will sign it. This sign is cool enough to get signed, framed, and hung in my Cowboys room.

Cool sign but it needs a Cowboys star on it too. ;)

You did good, gal... I'll be looking for it on TV this weekend...

I am so envious! Great job on the sign. :)


Be careful out there. I have it on very good authority that it's a very bad neighborhood. :p:

I hope you get some signatures and a pigskin.

Sorry guys, the sign is done other than the finishing spray. If it's on TV just know that you saw it here first!! It's not on any other Cowboys board. The off balance of adding a Star or the Zone would drive my perfectionism nutos and I am out of glitter :D

Hos -- some sigs and a pigskin would be awesome! Hopefully if I get there early enough I can catch a few players in warmups. I don't want to bug em during the game.

I have a calm, good feeling about this weekend. I'm excited, but relatively calm.

I'm a realist when it comes to football and an optimist in everything else in life. I can't look past this weekend. One game at a time type of girl and being superstitious keeps me focused on the game at hand.

I love it that the Queens keep yapping where we aren't saying much.

If anyone learned anything last week in Ochocinco promising a win and Rodgers struttin his stuff after the coin toss -- cocky does not win games.

So happy Crayton is a quiet little mouse this year. :D

I am so excited I could burst!! I always enjoy games at the Dome and will be right next to where the Boys come out of the locker room. If there weren't stairs getting in my way I would so wheel in there. I'm going to be there at 10 AM when doors open so I am sure to get a good spot!

I got my tickets off ebay tonight for $195. Dad and I are splitting the trip. He is a Vikings fan first. He does like and watch the Cowboys, but born and raised in Minnesota this will be one week he is not cheering on the Boys. Might be a long truck ride home!

Anyone else going?

Congrats. I would love to be at that game.

The sign looks great! I will look for it, not on TV, but in the stadium since I'll be there, too! Can't wait, leaving for minnysoda in the morning!!!

I think we are leaving mid afternoon. Everything is packed except for my makeup, flat iron, and hairspray which I need tomorrow morning after my shower. I am so excited. I doubt I will sleep much these next few days. 5 Hour Energy Drink will be my best friend!! I don't drink coffee or tea.

Stop by and say hi if you see me!
