Divadiver 0 #1 November 28, 2001 Hey gang, has anyone seen any skydiving Santa christmas ornaments (or just skydiving ornaments)? SkyKat (I think) has a couple stain glass, but I didn't see Santa.I'm also looking for some sweatshirts. **Warning** Bitching about to commence - why is it that you can only find t-shirts in Med. - X-Larg? I don't mind wearing a big sweatshirt, but the t-shirts are as long as dresses, and they look like a family of five moved out and left me in there!! Caledonian had a good selection of sweatshirts, but they're reconstructing their web page (Pooh!).I'm getting nowhere fast in the shopping thing, JNCO is reconstructing their web site as well, so if any of you know any other places I can find JNCO stuff PLEASE let me know. I think we should all skip the spending part of Christmas, and save up for important things like jumping!! Diva Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #2 November 28, 2001 check out THIS thread that I started about skydiving t-shirts. There is bound to be something good and should have some sweatshirts too.I am just liking the last statement. Money for jumps. Woohoo!!-------------http://www.JumpinDuo.com"oh no.

GrumpySmurf 0 #3 November 28, 2001 "I think we should all skip the spending part of Christmas, and save up for important things like jumping!!"Tell me about it - my family always buys me stuff I can generally do without, then I have to get them something in return - it would be easier if we just bought ourselves gifts and put "From: Mom/Dad/Bro/Sis/Whatever" on them - that way we could always get what we want. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Divadiver 0 #4 November 28, 2001 Quote it would be easier if we just bought ourselves gifts and put "From:Mom/Dad/Bro/Sis/Whatever" on them - that way we could always get what we want. :)EXACTLY!! That's why I'm looking for stuff for me. My sister informed me that she was going shopping on Friday and wanted to know what to get me. I told her, she couldn't get me what I wanted from the mall . . . . so, hmmm, here let me show you where you can get it! At least this way, I'll get something I can use/want!

freeflir29 0 #5 November 28, 2001 That's why I'm getting several relatives to pool their money for a nice Free Fly suit! I saw some guys at the Atlanta Free Flight Festival that had Corduroy and some other material jumpsuits. They were definately Pimpliscious!!!"and I'm not easily impressed...Ooohh look...a blue car!" -Homer Simpson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laura's mom just payed for some newly ordered RW suits and I am trying to sweettalk Laura into ordering some freefly suits as well. What is the deal with the cords? That DOES sound Pimplicious!!-------------http://www.JumpinDuo.com"oh no. Not another one"-Alienangel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #7 November 28, 2001 "What is the deal with the cords?"I didn't ask who made them but I know of a couple differen't companies that will build a suit out of any material you want. Freedom of Choice is one off the top of my head. If I remember correctly you can pick out the material and then ship it too them so you know what it looks like before it's even made. I'm not a huge Corduroy fan but those suits were very cool. How they got the feather to stay on the helmet I'm not sure......"and I'm not easily impressed...Ooohh look...a blue car!" -Homer Simpson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #8 November 28, 2001 That sounds pretty awesome. I think I may try that. Even just a small amount of cordorouy would look cool. Maybe some blue cord stripes on a red suit. hehee....yeah.-------------http://www.JumpinDuo.com"oh no. Not another one"-Alienangel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #9 November 28, 2001 Your post just reminded me that I need to run by Home Depot on the way home. A friend told me she saw a skydiving Santa there...I'll let you know if I find it.AndreaThe brave may not live forever, but the timid may not live at all.

flyhi 24 #10 November 28, 2001 QuoteHey gang, has anyone seen any skydiving Santa christmas ornaments (or just skydiving ornaments)? I picked one up in a tourist-trap Christmas store (Is that redundant?) in St Aug, FL. Actually got two. The last really nice big one (sorry) and another one. If you know, or more accurately, trust someone who jumps in Deland or Palatka, they could probably score one for you. Homer: A big mountain of sugar is too much for one man. I can see now why God portions it out in those little packets. flyhi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

homer 0 #12 November 28, 2001 There could be some good money to be made in making holiday skydiving ornaments. Picture it a skydiving easter bunny or a free flying pilgrim.To change the subject a moment why does skydiving come up as a misspelled word on spell check? If any word should be in its dictionary it should be the #1 don't you think?Beware of the toes you step on today, for they may belong to the ASS you kiss tomorrow.

Divadiver 0 #14 November 28, 2001 Thanks all!! I'm absolutely in love with some of Pammi's necklaces, so as soon as I find those charms I'm looking for, business is coming her was as well!(woow, reread this and it doesn't sound so much like I'm in the Christmas spirit, but more like it's all about Diva!) Bah-Humm-Bug!! Diva Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrumpySmurf 0 #15 November 28, 2001 Nah - how about one made of those gawd awful ugly brown ones some obscure aunt buys for you when you are young with the intent of making you wear them to church - or am I alone in having been traumatized by this? ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pammi 0 #17 November 28, 2001 Hey cool Diva! Business has definately been 'frantic'..I've been ordering beads and charms as fast as I can and pretty soon I'm going to start child labor if things get any busier :) Also, as to shirts..you might try a screen printing place. I made one for Merrick at the place I work at that turned out pretty nice. You can get mousepads, t-shirts, sweatshirts, all that stuff at those kinds of shops! We're making a calendar for his mom.

kevin922 0 #19 November 28, 2001 Check out http://www.cafepress.com/dropzone -- that is my shirt I designed. I just got a long sleeve version of it in hand, and it turned out very nice. They just changed the printing process there - and they came out nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lazerq3 0 #25 November 28, 2001 Well I'm happy to announce that I took my wife out shopping on SUN and told her we are not going home until ALL the X-mas shopping is done. 5 hrs later DONE!!!! Now the minotinous task of wrapping the damn things..My wife asked me what I wanted for X-mas and I gave her the new para-gear catalog I got and told anything in this book. I dont care if its just a bumper sticker.!!!jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
