I'm off to wake Kyle up (he's doing midnight--noon shifts) and then find some dinner. Have a good evening!

So what is everyone up to tonight? im in my pjs and relaxing :

 

[UP Disney]

Are you sure we weren't separated at birth? 20 was my crisis too. No problems since

I think you are the first person ever that felt the same way about 20. Most people think I'm nuts. Of course, you still have the 40 milestone to see if that one bothers you. It didn't phase me. I had a big party to celebrate.

I'd like to do the same....

I bought a new laptop and I am trying to get it all configured..it is driving me CRAZY!

She has one in her DIS signature, so I'm thinking she doesn't mind me directing you to it! Of course, then I'll be embarrassed No, seriously. I'm proud enough of mine because I worked really hard on them.... Clare's, I am just thrilled to look at and aspire to get there some day!

She has this GORGEOUS one of Cinderella's castle that isn't on that site... maybe she'll pop on (or I'll contact her) and have her post it. It's my favorite!

Thank you, Jennifer. CLARE!!! You are wonderful!

Not sure yet. I may stay at the Grand Californian if I can get a good enough rate -- I have a pretty good budget since this is business.

I've stayed at that Marriott when we went to a scrapbooking convention when Mom first opened her shop. It was so convenient to the convention center. They had great chocolate martini's...

We loved the Grand Californian in July. Convenient to everything Disney! Unfortunately I had no chocolate martini or anything else fun to drink this trip... too many antibiotics rushing through my system.

Oh goodness, you're making me blush. I hope she doesn't mind me calling her out, but you should really see Clare's. They make mine look like they were done by a 4-year-old! She also does them a lot more quickly than I do! My layouts take anywhere from 1-3 HOURS because I'm so slow at searching for or making the embellishments I want, fighting with how I think it looks, adding shadows and extras to the pictures, etc. She whips out several in a day and they are some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen!

The most I've ever managed to do with photoshop is reverse the photo so I can print it out for a transfer. I have to try some tutorials or take a class as I would love to do some of those scrapbook pages.


Where do you find the backgrounds and embellishments? Where did you start?

I am loving all the pictures!

Bernadette thanks for posting the link. Robyn you have some wonderful pictures! Looks like Lucy enjoys the characters

Jennifer I love your scrapbook, you did an awesome job

Elin thank you for sharing your DL pictures. Gary commented a couple of weeks ago that he wouldn't mind going here sometime. So hopefully in the near future we will get to see all of this in person

 

[Pooh67_68]

Same here, I love having a guide built into the tv. And we only get the Sunday paper for coupons.

we actually looked through the tv....gotta love a tv that has it's own schedule lookup. We get the paper on the weekends so that I can get coupons but that's about it.

 

[tinknme]

Marci congratulations to Jake & Andrew for placing 2cd

 

[Pooh67_68]

Elizabeth, looks like I will need to drop out of your psychic club. I have yet to get a feeling on Jennifer, Amy, or my cousin as for what gender babies they are having.

Its really strange too, because I have always gotten a feeling with all others.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Elin, nice pictures.

 

[babytrees]

loving all the pic's

Marci congrats to the boys on 2nd place finishes!!

Didn't get much finished cleaning wise today but I am catching up on sleep with Abi. We also went and picked up our Angel Food ministries food....it's a TON of food for $30....what we knew we wouldn't eat we gave to the onsite food bank. Next month's menu doesn't appeal to us but we'll keep an eye on it. angelfoodministries.com for more information.

We also got Cassidy off to her friend's house for the dance...no new pics...didn't see a reason with just different shoes. But she is cute.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Never heard of it.

Have you tried a neti pot? I never have but some folks swear by them.

Elin, nice pictures.

Thanks! Janet - I hope you get to see DL and DCA in person too!

I have to admit it is always a little odd to walk through DL. Things seem a little off-center and as if I am in a dream every time I am there. The geography and the look of it are just not quite the same to this old WDW veteran!

 

[MrsHeg]

Thanks, Debbie. How are you feeling tonight?

You're very welcome, I'm knocking on wood as I type this, but I have actually felt better today. I have poured several soft drinks down the drain trying to find a diet one that I can stand, I think the winner will be diet Sunkist. Crystal light isn't that bad either, I am a Dr. Pepper-a-holic, so giving that up is a big hurdle, but a necessary one. I have tried diet Dr. Pepper and it just won't do.

My oldest DD is coming over tomorrow and I plan on sending her home with some groceries, DH said we needed to throw them out, but that would be a waste.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Elizabeth, Jen is the youngest at 21?

I keep forgetting about this, thanks for the reminder! A friend of mine gets food from here & is very pleased.

it was our first month.....I kept looking for it to be in CO and gave up about six months ago. Somebody on the budget board mentioned it at the beginning of January...I am so glad they did.
