My heart still aches for you and your family and you continue to be in my prayers.

I hope that all of you have a WONDERFUL time and can't wait to see Isabella in her Big Give outfits -- they are amazing!

Mouse Triper posted on the disboutique thread that you started your Pre-TR so here I am. I am one of the ladies participating in the BIG GIVE and am so pleased to be able to possibly put a smile on you and your daughter's faces later this summer.
I remember you ice cream dress the most. It is beautiful and I am truly amazed that you made them all via hand-sewing.

 

[Clared]

I've just followed snubie over as well. I'm busy sewing for Isabelle but I'm definitey not one of the talented people but just someone who loves to sew!!!

My daughter was born last October and we will be taking her to WDW this Christmas when she will be 15 months. I've read your trip report and cried at parts but I have also shown Hope your photos and told her about Isabelle and Levi.

My parcel will be winging its way from the UK so I hope it doesn't take forever!!

another Disboutique-r here...I am unfortunately only in the "learning" phase of sewing...which means I didn't want to visit my pathetic attempts upon your family! But I'm so with the Big Give in spirit and support! You are going to be THRILLED with everything!!!

May I also say that your hand sewn outfits are AMAZING!!!! Bravo!!

I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. Your family pictures show a gorgeous boy.

I'm so glad y'all are going back to Disney.

Y'all are in my prayers every day. I can't wait to see the pictures from your trip!

I just recently read your TR and have now read your PTR. . . I am so very touched by your family and what you have had to endure. You have been in my daily prayers. . . . Thank you for still sharing your trip, though I know it must be difficult.

Another disboutiqer subbing in! I love seeing all the pictures of Isabelle and Levi! Such beautiful children! I can't wait to see Isabelle in all of her new customs. I know this trip will be bittersweet but I hope you have a wonderful time!

 

[lovesdumbo]

I am so sorry for your family's loss.

I will just miss you at WDW-I'll be there 8/14 to 8/28. Your plans sound wonderful!

I'm happy to be part of the BIG GIVE but too scared to make clothes for someone else so I've got something else in mind that I hope Isabelle will like.

Can't wait to see more pictures as the BIG GIVE outfits arrive. The ones I've seen have been beautiful but I know they will be even more stunning when Isabelle is modeling them!

Checking in from the disboutique thread also. Your pictures are gorgeous!

 

[princessmom29]

Hi! I am also subbing from the Disbothique. My outfit is in the mail so I am waiting with bated breath to see it modeled!!! You are and incredable lady!

 

[eeyore3847]

Just checking in and your pre-trip really got to me today. I am giving the kids extra hugs today, not knowing what tommorow will bring.
I am praying for your family and I hope everyday gets a little easier for you. your daughter is gorgous and those pics of levi are precoious...

[MouseTriper]

You know I love you, Girly!!!

I love you too!!!

Thank you. I'm glad I could encourage you to sew again, I've heard that a couple of times now! Protect them the best you can, that is what I did. Unfortunately things aren't foreseen. We can't protect them from everything, although we feel like we can (or should, for that matter), then if something, anything unexpected, should ever happen you feel like a failure as a mom.

Awww sweetie....major hugs to you!!!!

Hi there! Just subbing in from the disboutiquers! Your pics have brought tears to my eyes...what an amazing little family you have...and what strength you have! I am truly amazed and inspired! Your little Levi has brought tears to my eyes, what a sweetheart! And Isabelle is going to be one of THE best dressed little girls I've ever seen! I can't wait to see pics when you return from your trip! Your little Angel will be smiling down on all of you!
I'm very anxious and excited to get started on something for your little Princess! Thank your for your inspiration!

Alicia, I know that everyone participating in the Big Give feels the same way I do. We all feel so honored to be able to help make your trip a little more magical! The outfits I've seen so far are just amazing!!! I can't wait to see them on Isabelle!

 

[Wendy5055]

I am so very sorry for the loss of your son. It has to be the most horrifingly difficult things to loose a child. My prayers are with you.

I also want to tell you that we are at POP Aug 28th to Sept 1st!!!!!!!! Maybe we will see you around...that would be way cool!!!! We have one child DD6 and are doing as MANY character meals as we can possibly stand!!!!

I can't wait to read more...more...more...

 

[kstgelais4]

Subbing! I can't wait to see all the disboutique outfits modeled! I just have to go get the rest of the fabric, and my contribution will be started!

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

I am also from the disboutique thread, and I can't wait to read more...I am so sorry for your loss, I cannot even begin to imagine what it feels like to lose a child...you are in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope that you have a great trip to Disney World.

[Tykatmadismomma]

I am new to disboutiquers and cant wait to see all the Big Give outfits in all their glory on Isabelle.

 

[twob4him]

Hello Alicia and family! You are in my thoughts and prayers!
The whole situation is so overwhelming to me that I really don't know what to say. I can clearly see from the pictures and your descriptions, that Levi was a beautiful, happy, and very much loved little boy! I really appreciate the fact that you are returning to Disney for your family's sake and I wish you all much healing, love and Disney magic!

 

[aksunshine]

My Goodness! I was gone for a day and my PTR suddenly has many subbers AND (because I don't want to forget you) Lurkers! Thank you! I am in tears out of everyones kind words!

You should not feel like a failure as a mom. You did all you could do.

I am one of the ones making an outfit and a couple of other things for the BIG GIVE. I can't wait to see Isabelle in the outfit I'm making for her. I'm glad I came over here, because I now have faces to put with names.

Thank you so much for being here and Isabelle's outfit! Can't wait to see it!

I'm sorry I don't have time to read the whole PTR right now, but I know I want to! I'm subbing so I can come back and read every word!

Subbing! I can't wait to see all the disboutique outfits modeled! I just have to go get the rest of the fabric, and my contribution will be started!

You are too awesome! Thank you!

Hold them close Lori!

Hi! I am also subbing from the Disbothique. My outfit is in the mail so I am waiting with bated breath to see it modeled!!! You are and incredable lady!

We got it!!!! Isabelle, however, is way too tired to try it on and model, I have pictures of a VERY tired child opening it though! LOL! It is SOOOO cute!!!!

Checking in from the disboutique thread also. Your pictures are gorgeous!

I am so sorry for your family's loss.

I will just miss you at WDW-I'll be there 8/14 to 8/28. Your plans sound wonderful!

Oh, honey, I am just honored that each of you are doing ANYTHING! I would be afrai to sew for someone else's child too, although I am sure whatever you would make would be lovely! I am sure you are very talented!

Another disboutiqer subbing in! I love seeing all the pictures of Isabelle and Levi! Such beautiful children! I can't wait to see Isabelle in all of her new customs. I know this trip will be bittersweet but I hope you have a wonderful time!

I'm so glad y'all are going back to Disney.

Y'all are in my prayers every day. I can't wait to see the pictures from your trip!

Thank you. I am sure those ladies are wanting some cheerleaders! I can't wait, I am so excited. I was so giddy when I got the mail, which was a good thing, b/c I thought about the accident most of the way home, so I was sad.

I just recently read your TR and have now read your PTR. . . I am so very touched by your family and what you have had to endure. You have been in my daily prayers. . . . Thank you for still sharing your trip, though I know it must be difficult.

Thank you for reading! We still need all the prayer we can get!
