Hi All,

I have been working on one of my FE gifts today, doing the design and making the first stage of the prototype! Fingers crossed they will all turn out ok when I go into mass production this evening once the children are in bed!


:dance3: WOW !!! :dance3:
Your "work" on the FE gifts sounds EXCITING !!! :angel: SO curious !!! WOW !!!!!! :):love::yay:

I have already completed my FE gifts ... you will have to looks for a small (almost not readable) DGH signature in the bottom right corner of them
 
I should be working on laundry...:laundy: but instead I updated my blog on our website!!!!:rotfl2:

A couple people asked about the dress I found (yes...at the thrift store...we are trying to find as many ways to cut back as possible) so I took pictures of both mine and Emily's dress and posted them on the blog (Monday's blog)!!!!! Emily's is the light blue one on the left and mine is the bright blue one on the right!!! I am so excited that we got BOTH dresses about $25 TOTAL!!!!

Also...We are now PAID IN FULL for our WDW part of the trip!!!!!:woohoo: I have been trying to figure out the best time to pay and since it is due next week...the time is NOW!!! :goodvibes Seriously, I have just been trying to be sure we are really able to figure everything out and it is ALL A GO!!!!!

Now I need to start dealing with all the little bills that will come up. I am one of those people who like to plan right down to having change for the tolls in little envelopes - labeled and ready to go!! I will make little envelopes for tips each night at the hotel, one for each day's spending money, etc. It just helps me with budgeting for everything and makes me feel better that I don't have to worry about it when I get there.

Alright...I do seriously have to get to the laundry now. Talk later!

Hey there Mel! It is so exciting to hear that others are working on their FE gifts!!!! Hope that your prototype went well and that you are well into mass production tonight! :goodvibes

I was really excited to get a mock-up of our lanyards! Everything is just falling into place and it is so fun to see what gets done each day.

I see that you viewed the dresses for formal night! I am worried that mine is a bit bright for my age!! :rotfl: I expected to find some formal length classy black gown and now I have this bright long dress and hope that I will not be too out of place! Love the dress, love how it looks but hope that it is not "too much"!!!!

Enjoy your night!
Jen
 
Hello Everyone! I am working on my "master plan" :lmao: and need some information to add into it.

How much do you tip for excursions?

Here is what we are doing if that helps...
1. Tortola - All day sail on a catamaran. It includes 2 stops, snorkeling, beach breaks, all drinks and some snacks. It does not include lunch.

2. St. Thomas - Island Tour and Beach Break. It includes a 2 hour tour of St. Thomas and a drop off at the beach.

Do you usually tip a % of the total cost?

Thanks for your advice!
Jen

Nonsense! It is a gorgeous shade of blue and I am sure you will look stunning in it. I can't believe you got them at such a bargain too :) I have seen women much older than you in brighter outfits - be confident, you will look fabulous!

Off to work now, an extra day in Year 1 (5 & 6 year olds) and i have my performance management observation! :scared1:

See you later :)

Good Morning Kristen!!!

I will send you a PM in a moment so you can visit our site. The dresses are on the blog (Monday of this week).

You can either send me the money now or I am totally fine with waiting until we get on the ship. The total bill for the 100 lanyards was $200 (lanyards, artwork and shipping). I also will send you an update on the company I ended up using...not the same one I told you about earlier. I decided on the other company because they were the same price but would do a proof before production. I wanted to be sure we were getting what we really wanted and that the artwork would be clear enough.

Talk to you all later!!!!
Jen
 
Our best wishes to your niece !!! :goodvibes:goodvibes

Good Afternoon everyone! I was supposed to be busy working with the dance booster club all afternoon but....Ben is home sick!!!! :sick: So, I am now home for the afternoon. I guess this gives me time to do some planning for our trip since at this point he does not need my attention (he is finally resting after getting sick).

Happy Disney planning time for me!!

Hello Bev! I am glad that you like the dresses. There are never reasons for me to get dressed up in my daily life like there is on a cruise! It is one of my favorite things about the cruise!!!

Have to say that your comment about 6 months to Christmas made me first laught and then feel so sad - we are just starting to get hot weather here...don't even want to think about winter yet!:sad2:

Glad to hear from you again!
