So funny story...
I came up the idea for with this a few months ago. I wanted to get stickers made for my birthday #JRAD run. As time and attention were focused elsewhere, trying to get into our new apartment and finish up the season on MV, I shelved the idea for another time/run but Andrea and I didn't stop talking about it and collaborating on a design.
Fast forward to Milwaukee, we arrived the evening before N1 of the run, and Andrea has spent a good bit of time trying to arrange to retrieve a parcel she's had delivered to the hotel. It was, in her mind and according to the tracking, to arrive before we did.
It did not.
She wouldn't tell me what it was just that it was another bday gift. The company apologized as she realized it would likely be delivered after we left and returned to them.
However, as luck would have it, on Saturday morning, as we waited for a bus to Chicago a mere 4 blocks from the hotel, Andrea got a notification that the parcel she had been waiting for had arrived...
Our bus was ~30min out...
She's run a handful of marathons, heh...
Challenge Accepted.
~15 min later she comes skipping down the street and hands me an envelope containing 200 2x3 stickers with this on it(an earlier iteration anyway).
Then a few days ago she handed me another envelope with a few hundred of this, the finalized version(scaling is a little off tho).
Coming soon, when we get a better source and nail down proper scaling/dimensions, I'll be taking "orders", inasmuch as; if you send me an address and I'll drop a few in an envelope, for as long as supplies last...
So #staytuned and above all;
#FOSTERJOY
