Marathon Scarves?

[tw1nsmom]

I was talking to Karebear1 about how the Wish Walkers were going to find each other the morning of the marathon during the corral/pre-race time. We'll all probably have layers of clothing on, so a T-shirt would be more helpful later in the race. I'm going to make very simple lime-green fleece scarves (realy just long cut pieces...they don't fray, so sewing won't be neccesary). I may do something with glow in the dark paint. These should be considered part of your disposable clothing, but might help us recognize each other.

I would be happy to make enough for everyone who'd like one. The fleece is very inexpensive, so I would be happy to cover the cost. I just don't want to make too many.

I haven't figured out how to distribute them. I'll be staying at POP, so maybe we could have a pick-up time, or if we have a meet friday or saturday I can bring them there.

Please respond and/or pm me if you would like one.

Me! ME! I want one!!!

That is so sweet of you, Dawn. Thank you! :D

[Tiger Lily 03]

Please add me to your list! What a GREAT! idea.

If it turns out to cost more than you figured, I will gladly reimburse you as you determine.

Pick up details to be worked out as we go I guess.:confused:

[ibouncetoo]

Me too! Me too! :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

I'll be arriving at POP on Friday afternoon. I think I'm going to request '50's building......Nativetxn told me some room numbers where you can see this high fireworks from Illuminations AND Wishes from the 3rd and 4th floors. Have you and Geety and Tiger Lily 03 requested room locations??? Anyone else staying at POP?

Dawn, you are so sweet to do this....perhaps I can buy you a hot choclate or adult beverage as a "Thank You" ::yes::

[CDoobee]

I'd like one too, please! Thanks, Dawn! That IS really nice of you! ::yes:: ::yes:: And if you decide you need reimbursement, just let me know!

I WAS staying at Pop, and was looking forward to it. I stayed there last May for the first time, and really liked it! But then I wasn't able to get an AP discount there, so I'll be at All Star Music instead. ::yes:: ::yes::

Thanks again!

[Auntmeme]

Dawn I'd love one, thanks!

[tw1nsmom]

I just wanted everyone to know that I'm truly happy to make a scarf for anybody who wants one. My cost is incredibly minimal (under 50 cents a scarf). You've all given me so much support that it's just a tiny gesture to say thank you.:D

Dawn, tonight I picked up black chenile gloves and head/ear band...thought that would look best with the lime green scarf ::yes:: Now if I only had some clothes to wear :hyper: :hyper:

[Rachael Q]

Dawn,

I would love one too please.

I am staying at POP as well. DH and I arrive late on Friday night, but we could arrange to pickup on Saturday some time.

Dawn.....I forget to tell you! My neice, Dawn Marie, is pregnant with twins!!!! A first for our side of the family. I wish they weren't on the other side of the country.

OK.....back to your regularly scheduled thread...........

[24KK9]

I would like a scarf, too. Looks like I'll still be going alone and I'm starting to get bummed out about that, so it will be nice to have some fellow Disers to hang with. :guilty:

Anyway, I'll be staying at the BCV. Have you decided how the scarves will be distributed yet?

[tw1nsmom]

Hi all!

I went to the sale at the fabric store today and was able to get enough fabric for approx. 24-30 scarves. I though/ :confused3 t I could get more, but there was quite a run on lime green fleece. There were at least four other people with lime green fleece in their cart. Who knew it would be so popular :confused3 ? Based on the number of people who've asked for one so far, I think I'll have plenty of fabric.

As for distributing the scarves, I'm kind of waiting to see if there is a meet on saturday. That would probably be the easiest way. I'm staying at POP Century, if some of you are staying there we could arrange to meet. I'm sure there are many other options. I'll make sure everyone who asked for one gets one. I'm so excited! It's coming up so quickly!

I'm staying at BCV's too- when do you arrive? We get there on the 7th. Haven't figured out wheteher to walk to the start line or catch a bus- have you?

[NCRedding]

I'd love one also. I am staying at All Stars music--got the AP rate there. I am getting so excited!!

[24KK9]

Karebear1, I'll arrive at BCV on the 8th if I'm still going alone. If my DH gets to go with me, we'll drive down Friday, the 7th. I intend to take the bus since it's my understanding that they won't let us walk through Epcot. Is this correct?

Dawn

I would love a lime green scarf too please. Thank you so much for making these!!!!!

Cheryl

[ohMom]

where have i been??? I would like a scarf too and I"m sure my mom does -- put us each down for one if you have enough!! thank you how kind!

[maryliz]

Hi Dawn. I'd love a lime-green scarf too please! That is so sweet of you to do this.

Mary-Liz

[TammyNC]

If you still have enough fabric I would love to have one too. You are very sweet to offer to do these.

[tw1nsmom]

Hi all!

I have plenty of fabric for the people who've asked for a scarf so far. So far, there are 15 of us (including me) who want a scarf. I have enough fabric for about 24, so that's 9 more scarves I can make. Anyone else want one?

Dawn

[Susan--Ontario]

Hi Dawn!!

That's a great idea. I'd like one and I'm sure my only sister that hasn't responded yet (NancyK) would also like one. We're all staying at WL so we'll have to arrange to meet you somewhere.

Aren't we all meeting at the Carbo dinner?? or do we want to meet at the Expo. I think we're planning on going over there to get our packages on the Friday.

I can't wait to meet everyone. In just six weeks it'll all be over.

Have a super day!!

[geetey]

ME! ME!!

I would love a scarf as well, Dawn! This is really very sweet of you to do. But.... what if we get hot as we walk? I don't know that I want to drop such a nice thing!

Leave room in your fanny pack--or just tie it around your waist--I did that with my shirt yesterday--and it didn't bother me. But of course, I don't know what the fabric is.

[tw1nsmom]

Please don't plan on keeping the scarf with you for the whole race! There going to be made of fleece...not something you want to hang onto if it heats up. Maybe we could get pictures of everybody with their scarves on. If not a group photo, then individual or small groups. It really is an incredibly small gesture of thanks for all of the support and encouragement everyone has given me. I'm not going to take much time with making each scarf and I would feel really bad if someone was slowed down or overheated by it.

Hi all!

New to the WISH board but would love a scarf as I am doing the half too, if you have enough.

Thanks so much, that is such a cool idea!!!

I'd love to have a scarf since it'll be a great way to get introduced to you all! I'll be staying at the CBR - arriving Thursday. Can't wait! I have my car rental done, and I've ordered a crib & stoller from ABBF. I'm getting very excited!

[ibouncetoo]

I'm planning on slipping my scarf through my fanny pack belt. I want to have it to wave in the air as you all cross the finish line........Debbie Doobee and I will have beaten you to the finish line in the sweeper van!!!!!!!

[sap1227]

If you still have fleece left, I would love one.

Thanks so much for doing this!

[tw1nsmom]

If I'm counting right, so far I'll be making 21 scarves. That means I have enough fabric for 3 more scarves. If a there are a lot more people who want a scarf, I can see if they have gotten any more lime green fleece in at the fabric store.

[wiskband]

I'd love one.............I will be staying at all star movie......how will I be able to get it though?
I guess I'll go back and read this thread, I am sure that topic has come up lol

But definitely count me in..........
renee :cool1:

[LittleMissMickey]

I would LOVE one! I've been away for awhile, but you've all been in my heart! I was trying to figure out how we were all going to find each other that morning. If you have enough fabric, I would really love and appreciate a lime green scarf. Such an awesome thing you decided to do! I'll be staying at OKW, but will be able to hop on over to wherever.

Thanks!

[LAWalz23]

Hi, If you have enough left I would love one too! I am back in training after some medical problems (and computer problems to boot). I will be staying at the Contemporary so hopefully we can arrange a pickup. Thanks for the offer. Lori

[tw1nsmom]

It looks like we have 24 people that want scarves. That uses up the fleece that I have. If there are more people who want one, let me know and I'll try to find some more lime green fleece.
