Jonathan Toews


Got this one in person at my second Superstar Summer Showdown at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg. Jonathan Toews is a new 'hero' here in Winnipeg, after winning the Stanley Cup, Conn Smythe Trophy and Olympic Gold Medal. He now has a community centre and a lake named after him. I made this picture on a photoshop program. I also made a similar one for every member of the 2010 Olympic team and will send them out in the mail during training camp. I will post what I get back here! Supertar Summer Showdown is a charity event put on by the Believe in the Goal Foundation, to help kids through cancer. To learn more, go to Believe in the Goal.com

Colton Orr


Got this one in person at my second Superstar Summer Showdown at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg. Orr is the tough guy on the Toronto Maple Leafs and racked up the second most penalty minutes in the league last year, with 235.
I didn't make this picture as I did with others, but did add the name and TML logo. This is a 5x7 instaed of 8x10 due to the sizing of the picture. The whole name got cut off in the scanning process for some reason.

Darren Helm



Got this one in person at my second Superstar Summer Showdown at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg. Helm plays for the Detroit Red Wings and was a member of the 2008 Stanley Cup Champions. As I'm trying to do with all my pictures, I made this in photoshop. When Helm saw this pic, he looked at it weird and then asked where I found it. I told him I made it and he said "Sick!" and showed Nigel Dawes next to him. I told Dawes I made one for him too and Helm said he had to see it. Pretty cool experience.

Britney Spears



Got this one in the mail the same day as my Jordin Sparks Sucess. Pretty Exciting Day. I have been a Britney fan since grade 3 and remeber buying a tape of the Oops!... I Did It Again album for $10. I even got to see her live in between sending and receiving the autograph, a concert I never thought I'd see in my my life.
Sent: Septmeber 8, 2009 to the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX for the Sept. 18th Circus Tour Show.
Received: September 30, 2009

Jordin Sparks



This is my GREATEST through the mail sucess to date. I've seen this 2006 American Idol Winner live twice and she is very talented. When I got this back I was amazed at what she had wrote back. When I was going to one of her shows in Grand Forks, ND I was actually a couple of doors down from her hotel room, but never saw or met her. Just heard her in the hall. Which kinda sucked. But the concert was amazing later that night! Such a great performer.
