Camp time is here and my daughter Jillian, niece Eva, and nephew Simon are all attending "SPORTS WORLD" at our church.  The craziness begins on day one when they find out what team they are on, the blue team or the red team.  Thankfully all three were put on the blue team.  Before camp week started I told them they could design shirts once they found out what team they were on and I would make them (it pays to have a relative with a t-shirt business).  The pictures above are what they came up with.  The front of all their shirts is the same, it is a chant they learned for their team.  And befitting the zoo theme, they all decided to choose an animal to put on the back along with their last name (this is a sports camp after all and it must be jersey-like)  What do you think?  

This "Keep Calm and Dance On" shirt is for a friend of my step-daughter, Brooke.  I had originally done the artwork for a local dance studio, Protege, as their recital shirt.  The recital shirts were white tees with neon pink ink.  This one is a cool idea, Brooke's friend wanted pink with pink glitter.  I think it turned out rather well.  I am in LOVE with these glitters....I keep saying that but I do!

Sorry to leave you hanging about that shirt for my best friend's son.....here is the gist.  I received this text "Please", then this text "Could you make this shirt" both from my best friend's son, Noah.  So, of course, I could not say No as that boy is like family (I am Aunt Heather-yes very southern).  Apparently because I am over the age of 17 I can't quite understand the humor of this shirt, but I am sure it will be quite the hit with the younger crowd as everything that boy does is golden.  :)  Hope he likes it!

Living in Lantana you know we Moms need a t-shirt for EVERYTHING so here is a t-shirt I did for a Lantana Lightning Swim Team Mom.  She loves the light-weight tee for those hot summer days and the black glitter is just sparkly enough for a Texas Mom!  I am in LOVE with glitter...it's my new bling!

My step-daughter, Madison, and her girlfriend, Megan, have been nicknamed Thing 1 and Thing 2 by their soccer coach so we thought it was only fitting that they showed up to the next practice with shirts.  The artwork and setup was done by me but the actual making of the shirts was all Madison.  I hope Megan likes them.  I think they turned out great!  My next t-shirt request has come from my best friend's son, Noah.  Stay tuned to see how they turn out!

One of my newest tees was a special request from a girlfriend.  She always makes a special shirt every year for her and her best girlfriends when they go to the Kenny Chesney concert.  This year since I started my own t-shirt business she asked me to make her shirts.  I think they turned out great!  I loved her idea of having the shirts be black and the girls choosing whether they wanted neon pink or neon blue.  As you can see from the picture they look amazing together.  What a gorgeous group of ladies!  Thanks for the business April!

Hey Blogger World!

My name is Heather Searcy and I recently started my own t-shirt business called Old Dogs New Tricks! 
My husband and I recently decided to take the leap and do the things we have always wanted to do so we quit our jobs and that was that. Then the t-shirt business was born and I must say it has its ups and downs but it has been so much fun! It has become the newest member to the family and I must say that it has been the best thing we have decided to do! So just stay tuned as we venture farther along this road and new t-shirts are born!
My husband and I are the old dogs and the t-shirts are our new tricks! Roll Tide ;)
