I live in the Midwest, so 50 to 75 cents usually buys a sticker, but since this would be a fund-raiser and since it is in New York, you could probably ask much more. You have to judge how much to charge by current local market prices, counting on ...

What a cute idea. I saw a tshirt that said my pancreas is retarded. I would love a little sticker that said that to wear on my pod when I have it on my arm.

elaine peterson replied to Flobotic's discussion 'Pod Decorating' in the group Omnipod Users
I wear mine on my belly, so I might not pull up my shirt (and expose all that loveliness,) so you could paint, but that would be my only concern....I would love to have my pod decorated, for the walk day especially, and would take the time and be ...

Sherry Ann replied to Flobotic's discussion 'Pod Decorating' in the group Omnipod Users

Rebecca replied to Flobotic's discussion 'Pod Decorating' in the group Omnipod Users
