Thanks Suzi! EEEEEEKKKKK!!!! Yay!!!!
Glad you had a great weekend away. Traffic can be a nightmare!!
Again, you did a beautiful job on the new bag. I just want to say THANK YOU for all the beautiful work you put into it. I cannot wait to get it and give it to my DD. Now I just have to wait to get one for myself
Few more days to go till your trip !!!
If I don't get back on here by the time you leave. Safe travels to you and the girls and have a wonderful time.
You are VERY welcome Lynee!! I hope she enjoys it! And thank you for the well wishes.
Hate the Cindy bag! Not really, but I feel like I say the same thing every time. Of course it is wonderful and one of my favorites actually. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Cinderella. You amaze once again.
Hahaha - you crack me up Lois!
I know you will get everything done. You seem to always finish strong. Don't worry about quoting anyone these last few days...
YOU'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!
Everyone who is going this week or soon, have a magical
trip and enjoy your DIS-meets! Wish I was with you!!!
ETA: Love, love, love the fairy shots!!!
I sure hope to finish strong... Maybe part of my success is all my worrying? LOL
Thank you for the well wishes... I hope you are having a wonderful time with your family!
Gorgeous carriage bag!! Very pretty!! Have to say it's one of my favorites because Cinderella has always held a special place in my heart!!
Glad you made it home safe! Good luck getting everything done this week!! Can't wait to see what your able to do for the auction!
Thanks Sandra!
Its perfect what a lovely bag set.............But I would get it dirty in about three seconds......lol I will stick to darker colors.
Thanks! Surprisingly, it's not as light as it appears. Don't get me wrong - it is a light colored bag, but my photos make it look much lighter than it is. I can sew - but I cannot take pictures worth anything. ROFL.
Thank you Kathy!!! Your trip is getting sooooo close!!!!
D-I continue to be so impressed with not just how wonderful everything you make is (I really love the pencil on Vs bag-your details are marvelous!) but I'm so impressed with just how much your able to do!!!
Awww... Thanks!
I love all the photos you've posted. Especially the early morning MK shots and CP photos.
Yes... It's fun to go back and relive it.
Sounds like you had a great weekend!
I've been embarrassed to come tell you how little I've done. I had hoped to make a few things but just didn't have it in me. I did take Lizzy's Pooh backpack that I made 2 years ago apart-the straps frayed on it. I will replace the cheap purple webbing with a higher quality black webbing. Putting it back together again should be easier than taking it apart.
I've decided I have to be happy with just that as I can't handle the stress of anything else. I feel bad that Emma now has more that fits than Joe & Lizzy but they seem OK with that. Due to my work schedule it is easier for me to sew for May than August.
Please don't worry about it... I know you are super busy - we all are. Who cares what we wear to Disney - as long as we get to GO... Right? Yes - I know - I need to listen to that myself. LOL
My left foot-the better one before surgery-has been very painful the last month or so. After surgery my doctor told me it was in worse shape-no catalidge in that joint but this pain isn't in the joint-more in the ball of my foot but now the pain is radiating to the toes and up the rest of the foot. Thursday we met with my girlfriend from FL and her DD(13) and went to the Adams (Presidents John Adams& John Quincy Adams) National Park. We had never taken the kids. We had a great afternoon together before she drove to Maine to see her Dad. That night my foot was so bad it kept me awake at night. There was a lot of standing involved. I can walk better than stand. And my right foot was swollen. I was really discourage by this but am feeling a bit better about it now that I realize the right foot problem was due to favoring it so much. I was afraid I was completely falling apart. I am still worried about how much I will be able do at Disney but being there even if I have to really slow down will be so much better than being at work. And maybe slowing down wont be such a bad thing.
This sounds so awful and painful. Having Plantar Fascitis - I know that foot problems can be just horrible. Do you think you will rent a
scooter if you can't handle all the walking in WDW? I think it may be a smart idea. Although - I really hope it gets better before you go. (((Hugs)))
I've got clothes packed for me & kids. I assume DH will pick out so clothes to pack. Now I just have to pull together everything else-mostly that means charging all the cameras and making sure photos are all backed up so I can reformat memory cards. I just did my grocery order. Ive still got a ton to do at work but I think I might just make it.
Yay for being packed! I know I need to get all the electronics bundled up - that's one thing I always fear I will forget. Safe travels you to you, my friend and I look forward to meeting you!

Well... I accomplished a lot yesterday. I was able to finish quilting most of my auction bag... I say "most" because I changed my mind about which interior fabric to use, so now I need to go back and requilt those pieces. Sigh. I decided to do a small applique on the front, mixed with a 3D effect... Hopefully it turns out as nice as my mind thinks it will. I need to finish the whole thing today... I have high hopes...
I still have NO idea what I am going to put on the wallet... I need to figure something out...
After Alli's appointment yesterday, we stopped at Target... I grabbed a few last minute items for our trip... Magazines and such...
Then - I came home to a package... but before I tell you about yesterday's package, I need to tell you all about last weeks package that I didn't post pictures of... (shame on me...)
So, last week Liz sent all of the danglers - remember? And the only photo I posted was of V and the ones on her bag... Well - there was TON more. What I was really waiting for - was to catch Alli on the run, and stop her long enough to take a picture - well, that just never happened.
So, I just decided to take pictures anyways... Trust me - there will be MANY photos of all these items on our trip. Seriously - these are all soooo Ahhhh-mazing - my photos do NOT do them justice at all!
OK - so first are the danglers for my Jiminy UPB:
Then the ones on my Toy Story UPB:
And finally - all of the random ones that Alli chose for her bag...
I bet you can't guess which one she was most excited about??? You'll never guess...
So, then yesterday, the girls and I received another package... This one I knew about - but I did not know it was Pixie Dust... I had every intention of paying for it - considering I ordered all of it... This one came from my good friend Chiara... and contained LOTS of amazing goodies...
Thank you so much Chiara!!!
Earlier in the year, I had come up with a wonderful idea... Rather than someone making us a bunch of shirts - I would just stock up on tank tops over the season. I had approached Chiara and asked her if she would kindly make a BUNCH of appliques on felt for me - and just mail me the felt... I would cut them out and put them on whatever shirt I needed them to go on. So, she let me pick through her designs, and while she was on maternity leave (with that precious little girl of her's) - she cranked these out for me. I have been super excited about them for a LONG time!
Aren't those awesome??? I was so excited about them, that after dinner last night (rather than working on my auction bag - like I was supposed to be doing...
) I took the time to straight stitch them on to a few of my tank tops. V helped me pick out which ones should go on which shirt, and she helped me with placement... I don't have any pictures of them on the shirts yet - but I will try to do that this afternoon. I am hoping to seam rip them all off when I get home - and reuse them for other trips. I am not 100% positive this will work, but I am soooo happy with how they look on my shirts so far.
So, then - Chiara snuck a little surprise in the package for us, as well.
She gave each of us a necklace with our favorite character on it... Now, I had every intention of getting a picture of both girls with their new necklaces on... but I am NOT kidding when Alli opened hers, she immediately put it on - and I was not able to catch her the rest of the night. Sigh... She LOVED it though. I am not going to tell you all what it is, because I hope to catch her later today for a picture...
But here are mine and V's - aren't they adorable? Mine is already packed...
And here is V modeling her's...
So... Yesterday was a pretty exciting day in our house! So many fun things happening as we gear up to leave in a week! WHOOT!!!
Not to mention - I woke this morning to see this count down on my phone...
So, now I need to get a move on my day... I have so much to get done! I am still a little freaking out, because our trip is so close... I feel like I will be able to relax a little once this auction bag is finished.
**********************************************************
Let's see if I can find another 2008 trip photo for you all... Yup - story of our lives... The ride that has only been open for ONE of our trips... BTMRR... We are so excited that it will be open for this trip!
I hope you all have a fantastic day! Sending prayers out to all in need.
D~
yours are so nice, the stitches all straight and the zippers look straight mine are always alittle off I think. For years I would do anything that took a zipper....
Not to mention - Alli has an appointment today... So, today isn't even a full day. Sigh. I will do what I can, and do the best I can. This auction is only for my souvenier $$ - so I will survive with out it if I must. 
!!!
