She is an Avon Lady (do the still call them that? )

I used to do that! Didn't everyone?!?! I think they have tried to get people to refer to them as Avon representatives now. Maybe it is more "politically correct?" I have been meaning to ask my mom to get me some through her contact. I do not have much success in applying my own nail polish and the last time I got it done in a saloon, it chipped almost right away!

Welcome crystaldri and Austin!! More DIS friends !!!

HEY!!!! Where did my little sail boat go??? Hmmm...it changed from a 12 month countdown to 6 months. This one is different. LOL!

I noticed someone else posting about this too!! Is it different than before? I never had one that was 6mos or more out before!

You are going to tear up for sure! I still do every time we hear our name & see the tree in the atrium & this will be our 4th cruise.

Tear up?? When we went as a whole family in September, DH and DDs walked right past them as they sprinted before me!! They stopped DD8 to ask her our name just as I was getting to them so it was a little delayed and let's just say uneventful!

Just seeing the CMs standing there waiting to greet you & the lighting in the atrium is enough to get me. I'm a sap.

Well, DH is gone again...4 days until the next drop in this time. The summer is starting to fill up. I am going to call around for VBS for DS tomorrow. It seems that all of the churches have them at different times so he could go to a few if he would like to. I will try to get him signed up for swimming for the next 2 weeks, then the 3rd 3 week session in July. August will have a soccer camp in the morning. I can't seem to convince DD to do anything though. I am going to sign her up for dance in the fall. I think that it would help boost her confidence & she is a little ham at heart. It looks like DS will have soccer in the fall along with cubscouts. If I add dance to the mix for DD that will mean something to do on 4 days/nights! OY! How on earth do you guys do so many things with your kids? The idea of keeping DD entertained for an hour while DS has soccer practice in the evening...when I would rather have him reading & getting ready for bed by 7:30...doesn't thrill me.

Just want to share DD's latest Cinderella room decor. I picked these up at the scrapbook store in September and found the frame at WalMart later on. It has 3 layers of glass to give the special effect. DD didn't know that I had the stuff in the closet.

You made this? It's absolutely gorgeous!!! I wish I were more crafty. I've been buying scrapbook stuff lately thinking I'll take it up after the cruise.

 

[pjpoohbear]

it still gets me all giddy, and my tummy feels funny.

Dody, that is just 5 of the Disney die cuts that you can buy at Walmart or a local scrapbook store. I backed it with a piece of princess paper cut to size. I still need to paint the frame white.

I have done 2 scrapbooks so far. They are for our first trip to WDW & first cruise. I have the scrapbooks & tons of paper, stickers, diecuts, embellishments, etc for 2 SBs for each of our other 2 cruises, 1 SC for our WDW trip last June, and 1 SB for our DC trip last month. I don't even have the pictures ordered for them. I don't have a single shot from our last cruise to put in the photo album. Just too much else going on...or at least there was. Now I am going to try to use some of that PTO time for me.

 

[lbgraves]

OK, Penny! You started it!!! Some favorite moments from our last cruise.

 

[lbgraves]

Good morning everyone! Where are you Karen? We are off to the aquarium for the day with friends.

 

[MrsMork]

Now I'm giddy too!! Thanks for posting those pics Penny and Lisa!

 

[klineyqueen]

We are back from our week at the beach. We had a great vacation! It was very relaxing! The ocean was cold but the house we rented had an awesome pool and hot tub!

I finally caught up from reading all of the posts. When is the mini meet going to be at the Baltimore Aquarium?

To all of the new people. We are glad to have more friends.

Penny - I tried to get onto the scrapbook thread. I requested being able to read the thread about 2 weeks ago. I was wondering how will I know when I can go to that thread. Let me know.

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Welcome Austin. My DS will be 9 on the cruise. His name is Eric and my younger will be 7.

Lisa - I agree - whatever happened to the relaxing summer days?

We're up to 6 days a week with practices and such - and some practices are overlapping so we have to pick one over the other. I keep trying to remind everyone that Sunday is a day of Rest!!!! But even that day keeps getting filled up.
