[Rozz]

Just dropping in to let you know I've been following along. Such good photopass photos! I love the one of you wearing your red sunglasses with white polka dots where you have your hands pressed to your cheeks showing beautiful fingernails tipped with matching white polka dots on red!

 

[OregonMomToWDW]

Great update. I think my favorite photo is of you kissing V. Love that you got to have so many great dismeets.

I hope you are feeling better today.

 

[solana131]

Great update. Ok, remind me to chat with you about the whole linking your Photopasses....BFF will need this info as they are in two rooms and technically two sep reservations.

Love all the PP pics....you are the queen!

I LOLed again at the story of you looking at the shirt and totally missing your bag! Too funny

And Mo......hahaha....just that. Thank you

 

[STLMickeyMom]

Great update! I love all the pictures! The one where you're kissing V is cracking me up! Her face is too funny!

I think you look great in that picture outside animation studio. You're doing great things!

Love your toy story bow and bag! So cute. Did you make the bow too?

 

[bigsis1970]

THanks Oopsi.

I know - I know... It's so hard. The saddest part is Gus is like another member of the family now - he has been for a long time. So, I guess, if she is going to give her heart to anyone - it should be her bff... The part I am most fearful of - if or when they do break up... both of them will be without their bffs - and it's going to make it doubly hard on both of them. I have not mentioned this to her yet... I need to.

D~

Just wanted to say my DS dated his BFF for about 3 months and they both decided it wasn't for them and are still BFF's today (2yrs later) altho each relationship is different I hope they never have to encounter it.. Ps the Pics are way cute !!! Michelle

 

[Terkina]

It's so good to hear that you are feeling better.

Sounds like an relaxing start of day 3 of your trip.

 

[WDW2012]

So glad you are feeling better. We did the same thing while waiting for the animation class. In fact, I think almost everyone there was on a device Although we did have a CM doing trivia questions and he was a bit annoying if I remember correctly.

 

[kittylady1972]

Another GREAT update! Love all the great photos! Makes me really want to make an effort to force...urgh I mean KINDLY CONVINCE my family to stop and do more photos while in the park. We had Memory Maker with this last trip, but mostly what we got were the ride photos...and of course this one:



I LOVE the animation class. It is now part of our must do list on the trip. Nobody else is as fond of it, but they do it for me!

Here is who we got to draw on our trip:




So glad you are feeling better as well!!!

Most of my days are spent here - in my sewing room... Everything I make and do is done by vintage machine - the newest sewing machine I own is from 1963. However, recently - I've managed to save up enough $$ for a used embroidery machine - which allows me to add fonts to my items... I am very adamant about keeping all of my items One Of A Kind (OOAK) - so I only use this machine for adding fonts or making zipper pulls.​

I am back on the DIS again and of course glad to see your work again. I was plotting when I saw you were saving for an embroidery machine. I was thinking of doing a trade with you- my machine for your work!!! Then I reread- sniff, sniff...you ALREADY got one!!! Maybe I will finally admit that it isn't for me and sell my Janome- and use some of the proceeds to by some of your stuff!!! That is just pure talent.

 

[Pluto0809]

Caught up again! One thread down about 50 or so to go.

I only missed two updates so not too bad. Sorry you have been so sick that cannot be fun. Jim got something like that over the summer and it took him several rounds of antibiotics before he got his chest all cleared up.

You have the worst transportation luck at WDW! I can't believe it took you guys so long. Well maybe I do. It took Jim and I about 45 minutes to get from MK to the Poly one night in May. That was because the Express Monorail was down so everyone was trying to get on the Resort line.

I don't think there is anything wrong with taking a relaxing morning at one of the parks. I don't blame you for skipping RnRC, I just cannot ride that one anymore. I did ride it last week with Mom because it's her favorite but boy did my head hurt afterwards. It just bangs me around too much.

I love all of the PP pictures you guys got!

Can't wait to see what character you get to draw. I tried to talk Mom into trying a class this time but she just laughed and said no way, she couldn't draw.

 

[Texan]

Good afternoon D - taking a secret break at work and checking in on your Disney TR - love, love, love the photos - I am in agreement the one with you and V is adorable! I cannot wait to see what ya'll do at Animation Studios. I can barely draw a stick figure.

I sent a PM to you to update you on Shane. Update back about your beautiful girls!

Take care of yourself - lots of hot tea with honey.

Looking forward to more Diz magic!

Love ya, Carol

I have to ask where you got your sunglasses?? I know I can pick them up here at a local flea market, but it's a bit sketchy there. Did you purchase them online? I've tried looking for them but can never find the style I want! Yours are adorable!

Hahaha.....oh the stories.....

Let's just say, she got them in Chicago. Kinda sorta stole them out of my hand. She's mean like that.

Just kidding D. You know I wuv you! Besides...they look much cuter on you.

 

[DMGeurts]

D, have you tried the Mucinex pills rather than liquid? The pills seem to help me more.

Yes, I am taking the pills... They are helping, for sure. I just hate taking them.

Me too - they are so funny!

Thanks Kathy!

Great Photopass pictures on your Studios morning.

Thanks! They were a lot of fun!

I.... I... I don't know WHERE to start with this HUGE UPDATE!

Imagine that... you on your phone... I wonder who you were talking to?!?!

That was a fun morning - I was super happy to get all of those pictures with her! My favorite souvenir is always our Photopass CD, so I just have the best time trying to get as many pictures as I can on it.

Yah - V has some great faces... YOu NEVER have to guess her mood.

Hehehe... I wonder?

Oh hell no....


STUPID BLUE FIST THING!!! STOP HITCHHIKING D!!! It's dangerous!!!

Hi there! Welcome!!! Thanks for following along! Thanks! Yah - that picture turned out pretty good, I've had lots of compliments on it - I think the face I am making is a little strange, but I like the rest of it. LOL

Great update. I think my favorite photo is of you kissing V. Love that you got to have so many great dismeets.

I hope you are feeling better today.

THanks Shannon!!! Yah - I loved all of our PHotopass pictures - we really got some great ones this trip!

Great update. Ok, remind me to chat with you about the whole linking your Photopasses....BFF will need this info as they are in two rooms and technically two sep reservations.

And Mo......hahaha....just that. Thank you

THanks! Yah - I chuckled at that one myself... I am a true dork sometimes. But remember - I see them all the time, so to me, they are just there in my life. But someone wearing MY shirt... LOL

Great update! I love all the pictures! The one where you're kissing V is cracking me up! Her face is too funny!

I think you look great in that picture outside animation studio. You're doing great things!

Love your toy story bow and bag! So cute. Did you make the bow too?

Thanks... LOL I love my V - she is so transparent sometimes...

Thank you... I do like that picture of me a lot - it's not the most flattering, but it's candid - and I think that's cool.

Thanks! No, my friend Jennifer made the bow. Sadly - she had to close her business due to some family issues. I hope that one day she comes back to making head gear - she is the best of the best, and I am going to have a hard time finding someone to replace her.

Just wanted to say my DS dated his BFF for about 3 months and they both decided it wasn't for them and are still BFF's today (2yrs later) altho each relationship is different I hope they never have to encounter it.. Ps the Pics are way cute !!! Michelle

Hi! Oooh this is interesting. I sure hope that this is the case, if that is how it turns out. I know they would greatly miss eachother.

It's so good to hear that you are feeling better.

Sounds like an relaxing start of day 3 of your trip.

I am getting there... Slowly.

It was a fun start... This day was super hot too.

So glad you are feeling better. We did the same thing while waiting for the animation class. In fact, I think almost everyone there was on a device Although we did have a CM doing trivia questions and he was a bit annoying if I remember correctly.

Yah - our CM was pretty crabby... She did not have the Disney attitude at all. Sigh. IT was nice to sit there in the air though, and just relax for a few minutes - even though, we had done nothing yet this morning. LOL

Another GREAT update! Love all the great photos! Makes me really want to make an effort to force...urgh I mean KINDLY CONVINCE my family to stop and do more photos while in the park. We had Memory Maker with this last trip, but mostly what we got were the ride photos...and of course this one:

Love your family picture... and I adore your sketch of Ray!!!! That's awesome! Great job!

I am getting there - slowly... Sigh.

Maybe I will finally admit that it isn't for me and sell my Janome- and use some of the proceeds to by some of your stuff!!! That is just pure talent.

Welcome back!!! Sorry about that... I couldn't pass up the deal I got on the machine I was able to purchase, and considering it was the exact machine I'd been wanting - well, it was perfect. I am glad you are back though... Are you planning another trip?

Caught up again! One thread down about 50 or so to go.

Welcome home Ariana!!! Thanks - we had so much fun taking those pictures, and most of them turned out great too!

I really think WDW needs to do something with that Monoral system - it's getting so bad.

Thanks for the PM Carol - I will try to read/reply today...

Working on trying to feel better... It's slow.

Love ya too! Thanks for stopping by!

I have to ask where you got your sunglasses?? I know I can pick them up here at a local flea market, but it's a bit sketchy there. Did you purchase them online? I've tried looking for them but can never find the style I want! Yours are adorable!

Hehehe... As Suzi said below... I sort-of stole them from her. Believe it or not, Suzi found them at 6 Flags Great America in Chicago back in May. I pretty much snatched them off of her face and claimed them for my own... Then I confirmed that she wasn't going to buy them. We searched all of the stores there for another pair - and we couldn't find any... Maybe they will get more in this coming summer?

Hahaha.....oh the stories.....

Let's just say, she got them in Chicago. Kinda sorta stole them out of my hand. She's mean like that.

Just kidding D. You know I wuv you! Besides...they look much cuter on you.

I love you Suzi... Thank you for letting me steal the adorable sunglasses you found... I am more than happy to share them with you, ya know?

**********************************************************

So, yesterday... I spent the day harassing all of my friends on FB... It was great fun.

I even hijacked a few TRs... It had been a while... It's great fun - you should try it.

I also did a little sewing too...

Then I went back to harassing everyone... Gotta live up to my legend.

If you were following any of the TRs I hijacked... You won't be surprised to find out, I will be starting a PTR very soon... This one will be EPIC - just so you know. In theory - it will be grand... but we have LOTS of puzzle pieces to fit it all together. So, stay tuned for this...

Today... I will be working out - it's a heavy lifting day... I am still sick... but my voice is back. My chest is still congested though - which is really getting annoying.

I will also be sewing today...

I have to go to town later to pick up V - she is staying after school to take a few tests she missed when she was *sick*.

Allison is now home sick... Pretty sure she has what I have.

I hope you all have an amazing day! Prayers and good thoughts to all of you!
