[chipscinderelly]

Yes Sandy is right Contemp. was a rumor based on a picture from an Architecht website and CM rumors that they were doing something at contemp. or the STOL port (airline strip)

word now is that VAKL then DL then Contemp.

DL would be interesting, but I know we won't buy there.

Thats a good reminder - If you ever wanted to stay at AKL conceirge on points - you should do so soon otherwise you'll have to use cash when DVC at AKL opens.

Thanks Cheryl - great thought!

Our giclee came today via Fed Ex.
I really like it. It is nicer that I expected. Here is a dumb question. Do you hang it as is or put it in some kind of frame?

Ours is going to get framed. Taking it to Michaels next framing sale!

I saw a picture over on the DVC forums of someone who framed it with a plain white frame with no glass. I like that idea. I think they said they were able to buy a ready-made from which helps too.

Being canvas, I dont think you would want glass over it. All of our canvas prints are withour glass.

Hey Gail that is where I went to nursing school. It sure has changed since I graduated.

We just had a blizzard here. I couldn't see the neighbors house and now there are huge flakes. It would be beautiful if it was December.

She's in the teaching program there. They now have new dorm buildings. Deanna plays indoor soccer there during the winter. Nice campus.

Yikes, now we have hail!

Must have been before or after they dropped off ours!

It POSSIBLY could have been at the exact same time

Or not

And you're the first to mention its construction. Until I saw it last night I imagined something in the format of a litho. It's actually the same format as an oil painting, canvas stretched over a box frame. I also wouldn't put that under glass.

Then I opened it up and saw the fun box inside. Love the pop up candles!

Did you all also see there are people over on the DVC forums who are against DVC wasting our money for this (though I really think it comes out of the marketing budget). Of course many of them are most likely also the ones who don't like the idea of a Member Cruise because it is a rip-off.

That print put a smile on my face for the rest of the day!

We agreed. Smiled most of the day, even though the weather was blustery and rainy.

We are double packing...one smaller suitcase inside of a larger one!

We have done this before BUT I think we are just packing light and leaving room. We should be okay!

Here it is 10:30 AM - Snowing like crazy. Some stuck to the trees and rooftops but was gone very shortly.

 

[tinkerbelle77]

I really should at least TRY to go to sleep. I think I'll take a little something to settle my tummy and hope for the best. At least it hasn't gotten worse....so maybe it's not a bug. Maybe it's just the stress....
who...me? stressed?

Hope your feeling better this morning!

Here it is 1/2 hr later at 11:00 am. Bright blue sky and a few clouds.

 

[fireplug]

I can't get my candles to pop up

John might be able to help . He may have more "practice" getting things to "pop up"

Does the money for the DVC marketing budget come out of our maintenance fees? I didn't think it did.

I suppose some of it does but I am sure most is built into their costs.

Sure the Member Cruise cost more, but does that make it a rip off - I guess to some it does, but we'll have fun without them anyways

If they dont like it dont go. Besides no one forced us to buy into the cruise we wanted to go. I dont think we feel ripped off at all.

Sorry to leave you, Robin....
but if you're really chatty you can get to the milestone before anyone else gets up!

So we left ya all alone here, Did you hit the milestone?

 

[#1Mouse]

And at 11:30 am we now have little sleet/hail balls.

Morning All,

It's gonna take me two days to catch up!

The link up top is a little tidbit for those overplanners!

Looks like the Wonder is already chartered for the same time next year!

Dont know if we will make this one, I dont want to take the kids out of school again...but who knows!

I guess that's why there are 9 of them already listed on ebay. Not to mention the 6 or so which have already been sold. They are not for everyone and we all have the right to do what we want to do with them.

What I don't agree with is that some can buy extras from DVC (because they are members) and then re-sell them on ebay.

I think it's really nice that everyone is getting one. But I can see the argument where it's not right to resell them if bought directly through DVC. In that case, it's going to end up costing someone (us??) more because there are those ebay sharks looking to make a profit.

Are they getting more than $50 for them? I think I heard that is what DVC is charging for additional copies.
