Animal Kingdom/DTD Photo Ops/Mini Golf Sketch Swap~FULL and ACTIVE

[JJ&JHsmom]

Nan, Julia would totally agree with that! We always pack ponchos to visit Epcot as it never fails to rain buckets.

Danielle, love your layouts!

We left the P96's to head to Nemo show and they were headed to "the park that shall not be named". I knew the moment they swiped their cards because the skies opened up!! I texted and was like, you have arrived haven't you!

It poured in Italy one year.. monsoon... and my DsS(now 22).. then was 14 ish.. ran for the store to keep his shoes dry... DH and I were like what the __________ (please insert your word here..mine was naughty!)... DH and I are rounding up 4 kids (one in a stroller) from jumping in puddles and splashing others.... of course it didn't help that every kid was trying that and every parent trying to gather their kids, put on ponchos, protect cameras...

This past trip in 2012.. it poured and I had my flip flops on (which is a feat in itself at the parks) but it rained and the water was like bath water.. so warm.. DH yelled.. kids we have lost your mother... of course my 3 kids give out a "woohoo"..as an older couple turned around and started snickering!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

LOL! Danielle you said you'd brb to post... so I had been watching my email for your next post.. you added it to your original post this morning so until Cassey mentioned it, I didn't see them... They look great!!!! Love them!!!

 

[3pletprincesses]

Yep we get rain ALL the time at Epcot. It's the only park where we bring ponchos. We always double check those mornings to see if we packed them in the stroller before leaving the resort.

Look at us all excited about the Epcot swap. Who would have thought that it took so little to make so many women happy

Love your LOs Danielle!

Nancy I will steal your acronym for a LO. Love it! It's so true. We have so many pictures at Epcot with either ponchos or it's sunny but full of puddles every where and a bunch of kids all wet.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Jennifer,

Looking forward to the next one!

Jennifer, I think you okayed us to bag the mini-golf pages with the rest as long as they were labeled clearly. Right?

I am not going to make the May scrap, I agreed to make a Christening cake for niece which is May 5. I will mail my pages on Monday.

 

[LoriABil]

I am bagging and tagging all this week and will mail ASAP!

Thanks!

I got the titles cut last night for "Wanna Trade". I used that for everyone, since no one seemed to object to it. I also got everything glued down on the left page, so I just need to bag up this group.

For the shopping group, I have several ideas for titles. Which do you prefer?

Did I Really Just Buy That?
Gotta Have It
So Many Choices, So Little Money
Charge It!
Shopping Around The World

Totally different topic........Was thinking about the Epcot swap last night and was wondering if anyone else spends as much time in and takes as many pictures of the world showcase as we do? Countries, shops, activities, hat pics, etc. I really would love to see the world showcase country layouts done like the safari and the parade ones were in this swap (2 2-page layouts per country). Each person could maybe choose one country to do this with, since there were 11 of us in this swap? Just and idea to throw out to everyone

Sorry! I just saw this? Are you using Shopping around the World? Because that's what I was using for the shopping page. The title is mounted on a tag, so it would be SUPER easy to change! Let me know!

 

[morgansmom2000]

Love everything that has been posted. Sorry I've been away so long...Train WiFi sucks ___________ (I use a naughty word), I'm not sure how much NU can "see" when I'm online and I'm just exhausted every night. I promise it's getting better though I'll let you know as packages arrive.

How about signups for Epcot on May 11th? Trying to remember if I have something that day - maybe tickets for the recital, but that's okay. I'll do 8:30 am signups. I'll get an interest thread up this week or next weekend. K?

As for the countries...I'm totally with you all on the 4 pages. DH LOVES Epcot and we spend an inordinate amount of time there. And, I like to take closeup pictures of the little details in all the countries So, if we have 11 join, and come up with 22 other topics, we can each pick a country and do four pages and then 2 topics of two pages?

Jennifer, I think you okayed us to bag the mini-golf pages with the rest as long as they were labeled clearly. Right?

I am not going to make the May scrap, I agreed to make a Christening cake for niece which is May 5. I will mail my pages on Monday.

Yes, mini golf can go in the other bags, please use 1, 2 and 3, and the three of us will be 1, 2 or 3

Morgan has a double-header on the 4th. However, it's also Free Comic Book Day, so she and DH will be going to a few different stores in the morning. I was planning on scrapping only in the morning. I'll miss seeing you, I'll email you when the next one is.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

May 11th works for me.. we don't have soccer till the afternoon so I will be up and movin' by then!!! If you need me to update anything for you because you need to leave let me know...


ETA: I totally like your idea for this swap Jennifer: 1 country: 2 additional spots.
I will start a list to see if we can come up with 22 additional things.. I think we can do it... We don't do mission space but we go take photos out in front! LOL I love the Fountain, club cool, art of disney store there by the ball... innoventions has 2 sides, how about a world showcase page that just highlights the countries?? (I take photos of the countries from the opposite side by the shops before you enter into the lands), snacks (maybe like.. what will you try for those that try new foods)....

 

[morgansmom2000]

This is the list I had made back when these were in their infancy (minus the countries).

1. Future World East and West
2. Universe of Energy
3. Spaceship Earth
4. Mission Space
5. Test Track
6. Character Spot
7. Innoventions East and West?
8. Imagination
9. Journey into Imagination with Figment
10. Captain EO
11. The Land
12. Circle of Life
13. Living with the Land Boat Ride
14. Soarin'
15. The Seas
16. Nemo & Friends
17. Turtle Talk with Crush
18. Bruce's Shark World
19. Outpost
20. Entrance?
21. Three Caballeros
22. Maelstrom
23. Reflections of China
24. The American Adventure
25. Impressions de France
26. O Canada!

The last 6 may be overkill since we'll be doing 4 page spreads for each country.

We did the "easy" side of Mission Space. That's still too much for me

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

[3pletprincesses]

Nice list Nancy and Jennifer. I'm looking forward to the Epcot swap.

 

[morgansmom2000]

Well, my production has stopped. I need to order blades and mats for the Silhouette. Sigh.

Goofy's is completely done. I'll upload a picture this week.

Nope. I think I'm going to go with "Taking Home Some of the Magic". Does everyone like that?

Nan, would you mind being my sign up buddy? We are away with scouts for the weekend and I'm not sure I will have internet access.

 

[tyniknate]

How about a topic of "saying hello" with all the different ways to say hello?
Agent P's World Showcase Adventure
Holidays Around the World (since so many are going this Thanksgiving)

We could also add the outpost to the list of countries if we have a 12th person join. I know that's how many we had for the MK swap.
