Is there a minor show at The Tree of Life?

The adventure begins is in front of it. All the others are throughout the park- many of them vary a little bit based on where they have available. Steve Soars Entertainment Site lists them and where they are located. I don't have it handy here at my sister's but I can get it when I get home or you can find it somewhere in the attractions or a link from allears or just google it.

I need help, please!
I am looking for miniture (sp) magnifying glasses for my Discovery Island toppers. I may have to go with a different embellishment but dont really want to. What Im looking for would maybe 2or 3 inches long. They can be colored or black and white.
Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe our teachers out there?
Thank you!
Rita

Don't know if this is where I should post spoilers or not, so here it goes! Divine.....

I'm humkering down in Spring, TX about 70 miles north of Houston, and making lots of swap progress. I can only watch the weather-guessers for so long!!

Have you looked for clip art of a magnifying glass? You can print it out, cut it like a sticker, and then either pop-dot it or glue it on.

There might even be a Disney-themed clip are on a website - not sure, but will keep an eye out for it.

That looks great! And I'm in that group! Now I just have to make sure and get a photo of her the next time I go.

Good luck with Ike. I always feel bad at this time because I'm sitting here in West Florida hoping the hurricane doesn't come here, but if it doesn't come here, it's got to go somewhere - and then I feel bad that I wished it on someone else. Oh, and I totally feel you about the weather forecasters - thankfully over here, they don't really do constant updates and interrupt shows. But in Miami, when the hurricane/storm is three days away, they will start the 24 hour updates and then no more TV shows! UGH! They're the ones that create the panic you see at the stores and such. Keep dry and safe!

MM- No, I hadnt even thought of that! I will check into that, thank you!

MG- very pretty! I love the colors! Ive only seen DeVine on travel shows so Im not in that group. But I think you have Japan and cant wait to see what you did. I did Italy and looking back on it as my first swap, personally I think it is plain!!

To both of you lovely ladies, good luck with those storms! We dont get anything like that here in AZ. I dont eveny either of you! I have a neice that was in Andrew and a neice who still lives in LA and survived Katrina and all her since coming relatives! She was in Gustav and only had fence damage!

Again, Good luck!

Thanks! Divine was a great project yesterday. I saw her for the first time in July and she is AMAZING. As a gardener and artistic type, she is not to be missed. I got a great start on DinoLand too, topper is done, I just need to figure out embellishments for my element.

It's been 24/7 weather since Wed or Thurs. It's been constant, so it's all run together. So far everything is ok, knock on wood. But it's on top of us as a Cat 1. Thanks to everyone for their good thoughts!

 

[rlovew]

I am glad you are safe and have something to do while riding out the storm. I have been there and done that too many times myself.

Thanks everyone for checking in. I have sent my address to everyone for this swap- except Arizona Rita- your pm box is full. I will ask for another check in about Sept 25th.

I cant find info on this so Im hoping someone can tell me,
I made a "bookmark" to go along with what I made for Discovery Island Trails and I am using Kinte styled paper for Africa and made a quote box? with info on Kinte. AK to me has always had the educational side to it and so I thought I would bring a bit of that into this.
Should these peices be matted and embellished?
And what is the typical size of a book mark?

Rebecca, I sent you a pm and feel so bad!

Thanks everyone!
Rita

Bookmarks are generally 6 by 2 inches long and quote boxes normally have a quote no smaller than about 3 by 3. They do get double matted and embellished and each is one element. Don't worry about it.

I am using Kinte styled paper for Africa

Where did you find the paper? I have been looking for something like that forever!

 

[Arizona Rita]

Good morning NEE
The paper is from OTC-they have a educational section as well. I even calle dto make sure the paper was safe and they told me it was. Fingers crossed!
They also had animals and Asian and I think some others. I bought 2 packs to make sure I had enough.

 

[New England Eeyore]

Thanks, Rita! I will definitely have to check that paper out. I found it online - it looks great! Can't wait to see what you create with it!

 

[MinnieGarden]

I finished DinoLand... so here's a pic!

I did a library card along with the topper. Since this was one of my "Ike" projects, I got a little carried away making the little dinosaur die cuts on the yellow tag, so everyone will get a few of those too.

I'm almost done - I just have to add some detail to my Pipa paper piecing (Whew - I can't say that out loud).

 

[missesdisney]

Need help!

I made a cute paper piecing for Pipa - I made the outside using design studio and it came out really nice. I can't for the life of me get a good picture of the logo on the front of 'her' with Jiminy Cricket and whatever the phrase is. Does anyone have a good picture? I can try to recreate it but I can't see it enough to read it

Thanks!

Here's what I have. It says, "I want you to recycle".

ETA: Here's the close-up of the logo.
