DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

Mine are a little older but I have the same issue, some is related to how different their personalities are but...

the younger wants a touch, the older wants a straightner.

We gave my 11 yr old niece a straightener- pink polka dot from target with the matching blow drier. She was thrilled!

How I spent by birthday...

I bought a dragon and a puppet stage for the library. Saw Christmas Carol liked it very much. Ate choripollo (grilled chicken breast with chorizo sausage) at CanCun, the great Mexican restaurant. The mariachi band sang happy birthday to me, as well as a love song ballad. Went to a dance theater production at Colby College that featured a very large swimming pool on the stage.


I still haven't gotten to the end of the first podcast for this week. But I did hear the part where Teresa did the birthday roll call and read my name. Kew-el. (is that how you spell cool when it is pronounced with two sylables?)

Happy Birthday, Lyn!

Thanks! Just a week left to celebrate in my birthday month.

Great tree! I looks the the size I could manage in my apartment.

LOL! It's a 6', see through the branches, pre-lit 1/2 price for $20, Walgreens tree I bought 5 seasons ago.

This may be the best investment I ever made!

It's up on a table this year for 2 reasons - the new house has 9' ceilings and a 6' tree looks really stupid AND a new puppy.

awwwww! We have 2 beagles. Emma and Lucy say hi to your new puppy!

A straightener? Is that the opposite of what I had in high school - a curling iron? I didn't realize that straightener were the new in thing.

apparently so! II had one of those portable butane ones, as did many of my friends. We spent LOTS of time in the bathroom trying to perfect our Farrah hair.

My DS Johnny who is 6 asked for this Gourmet Cake maker.
This is not going to happen, I think it's as bad as an easy bake oven.

An easy bake oven is more aggravation then it is worth.
I would rather make the baked goods from scratch then have the boys make their cookies and cakes.

Katherine, I hate to tell you this, but I wanted an easy bake oven for Christmas, which I never got, and I am still traumatized after 40 years

Really, I am just kidding - but it has been a running joke in my family for a long, long time. The only Christmas gift I ever wanted that I didn't get.

Oh, my! It appeared to be on a table. That gave the impression it as maybe three foot.

I have enough decorations and ornaments for a large tree. But for the past ten years have only put up a very small two foot tree. Seems like too much trouble to put up a tree for just two people.

The pre-lit tree sounds like a good idea. Back when I used to put up a tree, I'd alternate, sometimes multi colored lights, other times all white lights and only my white and clear ornaments. In my closet I have several boxes of brand new lights (multi-function!) that I bought in January. I really should dig them out and give them away.

My very small tree is not only for limited display space, but also because of limited storage space. Somehow, desire for basement storage is not a good enough reason to buy a house!

I finished my DAP shirts

I think they turned our really well.but you be the judge for me please.

I made 2 long sleeve ladies T shirts, one in red and the other in navy blue. I also made 2 short sleeve T shirts a black and a gray and lastly a gray hoodie..

The back has the DAP Logo and on the front I borrowed Tom's name tag graphic as a model and created my own with the DAP logo and DISUnplugged logo as well as my screen name with my real name below it.

I spend $26 on shirts and sweatshirt and 16 on shirt iron-ons so $42 and an hour of time. Here are some pictures:

Front and Front close up

and the back with close-up

For those who bought shirts, do they compare?

You really should get one for yourself!

I did have an easy bake oven.
But we had more fun and more finger burns with the "Thing Maker"! Do they still make anything like it? We squirted plastigoop into hot metal molds. When the item was formed we placed mold in cooling trays. Mostly made creepy bugs, some that glowed in the dark!

LOL - I have finally gotten over it, now my family brings it up every year. I did buy myself a bread maker, that I loved, haven't used it too much lately, now that I'm home only three days a week, it's too much trouble.

They do still have that, not sure it it's still called the Thing Maker, but my cousin's kids were making those little plastic bugs last year or the year before.

Oh, gadgets!
I bought myself a breadmaker over ten years ago. Probably hadn't used in close to eight years.

I remember when I set it to have bread ready in the morning. It started a noisy cycle in the middle of the night and the neighbors downstairs phoned to see what the noise was!

Last month I "lent" it to a friend. She can make her gluten free bread for a fraction of store bought andis ever so happy.

I sort of miss the breadmaker, but why? I wasn't using it!

 

[spaddy]

Kelly, the shirts look great. What iron ons did you use?

I love my CHI straightner. I have straight hair but it makes it silky smooth. I also got a CHI hairdryer for Christmas 2 years ago and I LOVE it. My hair is very hard to dry and it really cuts down on my time in the morning.

Jamie that puppy is so cute!
Smart idea to have a small tree which can be put out of the way until
she is more mature and trained

How I spent by birthday...

I bought a dragon and a puppet stage for the library. Saw Christmas Carol liked it very much. Ate choripollo (grilled chicken breast with chorizo sausage) at CanCun, the great Mexican restaurant. The mariachi band sang happy birthday to me, as well as a love song ballad. Went to a dance theater production at Colby College that featured a very large swimming pool on the stage.


I still haven't gotten to the end of the first podcast for this week. But I did hear the part where Teresa did the birthday roll call and read my name. Kew-el. (is that how you spell cool when it is pronounced with two sylables?)

Happy birthday Lyn!

Not smart - cheap. I really want a 7 1/2" tree, but am not spending the money on it this year.

Sorry to hear that!
on the other hand you did not miss much!

Kelly I think they are wonderful!
I really like the name tag idea with board name and first name.
I do not know how they compare to the ones from Cafepress, but
I wouldn't worrry.
