2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 4

[curtdennis]

We're always borrowing from the next year's points. David likes to say we're a deficit point spending family.

You're not ALONE, not by a long shot. Remember we were the ones begging for points earlier this month.

With Erin's Permission.

My brother has offered to make removable bumper stickers for the group. I will give them out at the precruise gathering. He is also offered to make a sign for the bus if we would let him know what we want on it. If you will not be at the get together please pm me you address and i will mail it out to you.

Just a question,

Has anyone hear any whispers about MK refurbing the Indy Cars to a Cars character theme. One of the fellows at work said he had heard that the cars were going to be refurbed to look like Lightning McQueen and the other racers... Anyone else heard this through the grape vine?

I haven't heard this but it sure would be cute!

Good morning from DL!

I was chatting with a few of the CMs at the DVC kiosks last evening while walking around DD here at DL. A bit of news for the rumor mill - seems that Jim Lewis and other big shirts from either DVC or Disney are also staying here at GC. There's meetings going on this week and an announcement is supposed to be coming up in Oct. No word on a DL DVC or they won't say so but I did get that little tidbit from a few of the CMs last night.
Just thought I would share a bit of news today - I'm going to get ready to do some park hopping today - have a great day!

The question remains would a DVC resort be close to the property or would it be several blocks/miles away (like the last plan that I heard about for a Cali DVC)?

Keep a weather eye there matey for more signs on the horizon, argh

Maybe we'll get more news while on the cruise! That would be exciting although I don't think I'd purchase points for out there.

Good question. I'd call your guide just to be certain. I don't have the referral information with me at the office and Tom isn't home at the moment or I'd have him check to see what the fine print said.

You know this brings up another point. I haven't heard from our guide since we first bought in. I've heard people say that they get calls from theirs when they come down (guide checking the res files?) and stuff like that... Ours was a very nice guy, we just don't hear from him.. hmmmm

This has probably already been answered by our early birds, but here's my recommendation for starting out.

Get yourself a good/sharp pair of straight-edge scissors, a ruler, and adhesive of some sort. You'll need to decide what size album you want to start with. Of course you don't have to stick with just one size. You'll also want some cardstock which you can pick up in individual sheets or in multi-color packs. It's not necessary, but a paper trimmer also comes in handy. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few basics but never fear, scrappers are alway willing to help and spread addiction.

You can find all this stuff at general craft stores like Michael's or Joann's, dedicated scrapbook stores - you'll see people refer to them as LSS (Local Scrapbook Store), or even online.

Don't be intimidated at all. Everyone starts somewhere and over time your comfort level and style changes. I know lots of people hate their first pages/albums and go back to redo them. I think it's great to see how I've evolved so I'll never do that. Here's my very first album. I cut the heck out of my photos, used way too many stickers, and the color choices on some of the pages make me want to puke now. But I love this album because it was the beginning of my obsession.

Thanks! I love it!

I will use this as an example. The others look too complicated!

No, neither would we. We're happy with the Florida locations. BUT Karen and I have yet to make the journey out to the 'land

I like all of the examples I've seen so far. Some are a lot more than I could ever do but I'm getting some great ideas!

 

[Scratch42]

Ditto on the Bumper Sticker and Sign!

Both The Same!

That's Awesome of your brother!

Thanks!

Oh I love them too! But I'm finding them intimidating! Robin's is a great place for me to start! I hope this isn't coming out wrong that I'm offending anybody. I don't mean it to be like that! I'm one that works with numbers and not very creative! Give me a spreadsheet..........

Wow, how generous of your brother. I just love the DIS and all the wonder people here.

I remember. And if it weren't for the fact that we've not only used up this years, but most of next years points already, we would have given you the points you needed.

Trust me, there are better examples of simple pages to copy or get ideas from. I just posted that so you'd see that most people don't start out with the wonderful pages. It takes time and practice to find the style you like and are comfortable with.

CONGRATULATIONS ON 1,000 pages!!!

Dress sneak peek photo from my fitting this weekend. Ignore the tags and safety pins - it's being altered now... you can also see that I will need to do some tanning to get rid of that lovely bikini line
