2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 2

[Stitch#1]

Hey there! Happy Saturday! And a long Weekend for some!!! (namely me!)

Sorry I missed chat last night but after the prior night of very little sleep with Nick being sick and spending the better part of the day doing laundry and cleaning up the carpet (where we had a little problem do to Nick being ill) I fell asleep on the couch and Jeff had to wake me up to go to bed.

Steve - I know what you mean about finding forgotten treasures. I pulled out an old 35mm camera that still had film in it. Well I got it developed an their was Christmas pictures of Nicke from about 4 years ago!! He was a little skinny guy and was missing his 2 front teeth!

I see Diana has been at it again!!! What did you do to the smileys?

 

[alikat99]

We did the same thing. I found an old disposable camera, and decided to go ahead and develop it. It had pictures of Emily's 2nd birthday party at my MIL's house. She was so little!!!

Amy - glad to read you had a great time on the cruise. Who should we contact about Ducky on the SSMC06? We got one of his drawings on the member cruise. We enjoyed his presentation.

Well, I'm feeling old. DS turned 20 this month. I can't believe how fast the years have gone by.

Valentine's Day was very nice. Actually, Tom couldn't wait and gave me my gift a few days early. He made me a table! If I can figure out how to attach the picture I'll post it. It has Mickey in it and it really nice. Then on Valentine's Day he gave me two cards and a statue of Mickey holding a rose in his mouth and his hands stretched out. It reads, "I love you this much!" He got that at the Disney Store. I was very surprised by my gifts! I got him a card and the movie The Thing About My Folks written by Paul Reiser and starring Paul and Peter Falk.

It's really cold in MA this weekend but I'm glad it's a long weekend and I don't have to work on Monday. I'm looking forward to a relaxing few days. Annmarie

Well, I don't know who we would contact, but maybe just someone at DVC. Maybe someone can find an email address, and we can all start emailing Member Services to request Ducky for our SSMC06 cruise. He really sounded like he would be interested in our cruise.

We're back from our crazy day.

Walker's party was a huge success -- 23 kids. I now remember why I took Cameron to Disney World instead of a birthday party when he turned 11. It was actually cheaper than having a party. I guess I've forgotten just how expensive they can be. The kids had fun and that's what counts I just can't wait for the day to negotiate with Walker about doing something different for his birthday instead of having a party. But, I know, it will be here soon enough.

It looks like Christmas around here with Walker tearing all of his presents open. I don't think he's said a word in the 3 hours we've been home. Very generous gifts he received from his friends.

Cameron's Pinewood Derby car came in #8 in speed.....a very big change over the past 4 years. Cameron was actually very pleased that it worked out that way. Gary, OTOH, is starting to work on his (ooops, Walker's) design for next year soon. I know he was bummed that Cameron's car didn't perform very well. But, as Cameron said, he had many years of being 1st place and now it was someone elses turn.

It's a whopping 7 degrees outside and Cameron & Gary are off to camp outside with the Boy Scouts tonight. Actual wind chill is -8 right now, going down to -12. I'm thinking they are going to be sleeping inside of the church tonight as a back up plan. I offered to go with him but fortunately Gary decided to go instead. I know WE all will have a better time that way. I'm hoping they come home tomorrow after having a great time. They have always winter camped -- but in a cabin, never in a tent. I went to Wal-Mart this afternoon (on a Saturday -- Amy!! ) to buy these hand warmers that that Troop Master said they toss into the bottom of the sleeping bags to help keep warm. I was able to get the last 4 packages (Den Leader Mom I am -- always be prepared ) so I'm thinking they are pretty popular. I hope they work.

Sounds like you had a GREAT day, Cindy! Well, except for the trip to Walmart! I've figured out that I don't mind Walmart, as long as I only go right after I drop Emily off at school, on a weekday morning.

Cindy - sounds like you had a very busy day. Here's hoping Gary and Cameron stay warm tonight.

I got 10 scrapbook pages done today. Wow now I know why I do a lot of my scrapbooking digitally. Between printing out the pictures and all the adhesive it is getting expensive. I'm having great fun reliving the memories of the Member Cruise. I've done the road trip portion, the bon voyage party, DIS meet, sailaway and day 1. I also did a Key West spread. Hope to do some more tomorrow.

We went to church tonight so at least I can sleep in tomorrow.


Amy- how was the concert?

 

[alikat99]

Wow Mary - That was GREAT that you got that much done! I picked up some DCL scrapbook kits when I was onboard last week. So, I'm hoping that after I get my SSMC05 CJ done, then I can start on my 2 DCL cruise scrapbooks. I'll probably work on this one first since it's fresh in my mind, then SSMC05. I'm hoping to go to an all day crop in early March to work on it.

The concert was great! We had great seats, and a bonus was that he started out the concert on a small platform behind the sound area, so he was right in front of us for the first song. Very cool!

Mary, that is great!! Did you have a chance to use the new corner rounders? I'm curious as to how the scalloped one works -- I already know how the traditional round corners one works - like a charm.

Amy, I think I'm going to an all day scrap in April. It never seems like I can make the entire weekend crops my CM consultant does (there's one this weekend and I couldn't do that to Walker and not have his party). The next one is scheduled for a certain weekend in October when I'm a little busy. But, I think I'm actually going to make the one in April. I should also try to get to some of the Friday night crops -- that would help.

 

[WDWLVR]

Cindy - you bet I have use the corner rounders! The scallop one is a little tricker to work because there is a lip that the picture goes under, but still very very easy to use. I love them both - thank you!


I'm having such fun reliving the memories of the cruise!

Good morning Member Cruisers

​

Woo Hoo !

 

[Diana Lyn]

Good morning Member Cruisers
- we sail in 35 weeks!
​

WOW! 35 weeks!! That seems like it's right around the corner! I better get packing!

I did see some really cute Easter dresses in Target and told Bruce, those would look great on the girls during the cruise. He looked at me like I was insane....but in October, I'm not going to be able to find cute summery dresses in NY--they start putting the winter stuff out right after the 4th of July!

 

[BCVOwner2002]

Good Morning everyone! 35 Weeks! That's too far away.

I'd love to see what everyone's scrap book and CJs look like. I'm just not that creative.

It only 10 degrees outside and we are going to our godchild's hockey game this morning. Time to pull out the long undies! Have a good day!

Isn't that the truth?!?!? They do the same down here in FL, and it's HOT here until November!!!

 

[cgcw]

35 weeks. Not too bad since when Mary first posted a countdown, it was 400 days away. Look how far we've come. Only 245 more days!!!!

Here too. It's crazy, isn't it. Now in February, the stores hardly have a hat, mitten or winter coats, but you could buy a dozen swimsuits in a heartbeat. That I will never understand.

 

[iluvdisney]

I am so ready to cruise!

Tonight is DVC chat night - see ya there!

 

[WDWLVR]
