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

[cgcw]

Amy - I'm definately in for the CJ! I'll pm you my info. I have the perfect book in mind to use. Creative Memories had a 7x7 Disney album which I have 2 of and once I know how many people will be doing it I can make sure I have enough pages in the book! Thanks so much for organizing yet another project!!

I just received a couple of the small Disney CM albums. I was thinking about using one of those. But, I'm confused Is your album just a album without any pages? What I have is an album with the pages with a snap pack.

And for all of you scrapbook experts participating, please cut us newbies some slack and don't laugh too hard at our pages. Okay.

Well just got back. Had a great time at WDW. The trip home ended the ear with a big bang! I recked my car in Atlanta. Went over one of the curves you can't see around. Traffic was stopped. Not enough time to stop. I did a job on a pick-up trucks bumper. My van will be going in to the body shop on the 9th. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and Happy New Year!

Chris, glad no one was hurt. I definately could have been worse.

Glad you had a good trip. How was Cape May for your Christmas dinner?

Hi Everyone,

I'm out here lurking, hoping that I'll be part of the group come October. I am wait listed as of last week. I've never been on a MC and had no idea that it sold out the day reservations opened. We've been on the Magic 3 times, including the FL-CA cruise. You'd think I'd know wouldn't ya?

I hadn't decided to go until last week. My oldest son, 23, will be joining me. He's never cruised before. Our younger two have been on the other cruises with us and want to stow away, but not this time. We are actually going back out on the Magic the week after Thanksgiving '06 so they aren't being deprived in the least.

So here's hoping we'll be on the ship with all of you.

Juli

Welcome, Juli.

Hope the waitlist comes through for you! Keep us posted so we can officially count you as one of us when it does come through.

We are back home - actually we got home Saturday morning at 7:30. Not too bad of a drive, about 20 hours! This was our first 2 week vacation and we had a great time. The cruise was really nice and we then spent a week at WDW staying at OKW. We made it a very relaxing trip, going to the parks to see a parade and then leaving. Waiting until late night entry to visit that particular park. We actually enjoyed the activities at the resort. Deanna met 2 other girls who's families were just hanging out at the resort, so they had alot of time to play.

We are finally unpacked, now trying to wade through the Christmas gifts and get that stuff all put away. I was going to take the Christmas decorations down today, by my in-laws are coming by for a visit. Guess I'll work on putting the decorations away tomorrow. We sat down yesterday and worked on our basement plans. We have talked about it for 2 years - now's the time to just get it done! I guess getting the basement finished is our New's Year Resolution.

Hopefully tomorrow I will have the time to read all the posts from when I was gone and try to get caught up.

Welcome back, Gail.

Let us know when your all caught up on the thread and we'll send those PM's we've been holding.

Welcome home Gail and John - see ya soon!

Welcome home Chris and family - Atlanta is not one of my favorite places to drive thru or around - glad to hear that you all are okay. Rest up!

Have to make my ressie for before and after the cruise today.

And for all of you scrapbook experts participating, please cut us newbies some slack and don't laugh too hard at our pages. Okay.

Once again, I'm very jealous! Your Disney albums will have like 10-15 pages in it. The snap pack is paper and stickers and stuff to create Disney layouts. The album I won was a 7x7 but it's not Disney. Personally, I think I won it as a ploy to get me to buy more CM stuff. I mean, what good is a free album if you don't have any pages to put in it? With my 50% off Mike's coupon, the book I bought yesterday was $3 or $4. I'll never get anything from CM that cheap!

And as for your newbie comment. All of us were newbies once, and for me it was just 2 years ago. It's actually fun for me to go back to the early pages in my books and laugh thinking, wow, I was so proud of myself when I did that and it stinks. I watch my scrapbooking style change and get better as the girls grow, so it's pretty cool. I think with a CJ, you'll get better quicker because you'll get to see everyone else style.

Chris, welcome back. I'm glad to hear you guys are ok though. Cars can be fixed relatively easily.

Chris you weren't in building 23 at OKW were you? Just wondering if you were the one with the Christmas tree on your balcony.

 

[BCVOwner2002]

Happy New Year to All. I've been really busy at work with year-end budget stuff so I havent' been here much lately. Boy, you guys have been busy! I just got the newsletter too! October can't come fast enough! I requested my time off today so I'm all set for the cruise. Annmarie

Chris you weren't in building 23 at OKW were you? Just wondering if you were the one with the Christmas tree on your balcony.

No we were in building 63. We had lights on the front railing ,windows and 6 foot tree on the balcony with rope lights and bows and more lights on the patio doors!

I bet you did! Sounds good. And, since you like to cook, it probably was very relaxing.

In the past, you did do Cape May for Christmas, didn't you? I thought I remembered that from the morning we had breakfast there.

Gail, you might want to check the Tree thread on the DVC planning board and ask there!

Cindy you remembered right! We went on Thusrday instead ! We were eating dinner and remembered , that we were to eat at Cape May on Christmas! That's what straight thru driving does to the brain!
