21 Days till Disney World - A Project a Day! #9 - Autograph Book Bag

That bag is so awesome! She must be so proud of herself. And I LOVE that you let her do it all herself. That is so hard for me sometimes!
Tell her that her mom's Dis friends are so impressed with her skills!

I will, thanks!! She will be thrilled. She is already quite pleased with herself, as she should be.

I have really enjoyed reading your PTR. I wish I was as creative as you. My biggest accomplishment was the countdown calendar and it just involved lots of stickers. I was glad to get your thoughts on the autograph book. I have been debating getting one for my younger son (he is also 3.5) and I think I will either buy one or attempt to make one this weekend. I look forward to seeing the rest of your projects.

Well welcome along on my little PTR! Glad you are here!!

I ordered several autograph books from ebay over the years, and we really liked them. They were so cute. But I have to say, I like the thick paper and the photo holders in this Disney book. There are only spots for 25 autographs and I am fine with that!!! I let my kids keep their books in their rooms and sadly I think they are all lost, torn or written in by little hands. I think I will let Paige look through this one with me when she would like to, but I want to keep good track of it. I think this will be our last trip where we have a child who wants to do the autograph thang, which is bittersweet!

WOW! She did a great job on the bag. I have a hard enough time sewing on a button, I couldn't imagine making anything.

You really could!! Once you know how to use the machine I promise that sewing on a button is harder than this bag!

I kind of stood behind Leah and held one side of the fabric to keep the stitch straight. I considered this project a huge success because I never needed to use the seam ripper.

This PTR has been interrupted by Halloween. I can't work on DIsney projects when I have 5 Halloween costumes to make.... One for each kid, plus Hubs and I. Each year we host an adults-only Halloween party. This year we are going as Barbie and Ken. Today I am wrapping TV boxes in pink wrapping paper to make the "box" Barbie and Ken come in. Fun fun.

Btw, I am kind of nervous about leaving the morning after Halloween. I have visions of my kids all jacked up on candy and unable to sleep until 2am, then I wake them up at 5am to leave for the airport and we have an entire day with cranky kids strung out on sugar.

Just give them more candy for breakfast. HAHA. Can't wait to see the costumes, especially Ken and Barbie.

More candy.... Hmmm... I like this "hair of the dog" approach!!!

Let's hope the Ken and Barbie pics are Dis-appropriate. The hubs wants to be Malibu Ken!!!
