I had my fair share of ink problems today! I opened the dryer to find blue all over the drum. I unloaded the clothes and found the culprit...a blue pen that I think I had in my pocket, which really irks me. I didn't have the heart to look through the laundry just yet so I got the drum all cleaned up and went to check on the kids. Jane had been ornery so I had covered the craft table with paper, gave her an ink pad and stamps and let her go to town. She has used stamps before with just a little ink on her fingers but that's no big deal, right?! Well, this time she leaned over the stamp pad so got a whole rectangle on her shirt, and I don't know how she managed to get it up and down her arms. I scrubbed her, literally with a scrub brush, but she still has some ink on her tummy that leaked through her shirt. Anyway, I finally went through the basket, threw 2 shirts away, and spent the rest of the day trying to salvage the rest. I think one more go round of rubbing alcohol and shout will do the trick. I'm all inked out! Thank heaven's blogs, although a journal, don't require ink!

I am so sorry! That does stINK!! I remember my mom always getting sooo mad when one of us would leave gum, crayons, or pens in our clothes...But its even worse when its you (at least for me...)
You better read Ronelle's blog and use the new and improved cleaner.
I have done the same thing a couple of times too. Luckily I only had a couple of shirts take the brunt of it. Just left a red time in his white shirt pocket and that took care of the shirt and we neet to repair the tie. It does STINK when that happens
So Sorry! I washed a flimsey piece of cardboard (right after camp... the stuff was everywhere, but it didn't ruin anything thank goodness.
