Disboutiquers Part 7 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[CastleCreations]

Oh, wow. What a jerk.

Yup, got that right. I won't even begin to tell you what went on in the first 3 weeks of Ireland's life, no harm to her, but he lost his mind...
Jerk is one of the words I think of when I think of him...of course there are others...

 

[minnie2]

Well, mostly because I still don't feel good and not sewing.

Are you caught up on your sleep now?

Many of you know I work for the Disney Store. Well, yesterday we finally got our complimentary tickets. Well, it is only 4 tickets. Either 1 day for each of us, or 4 for 1 of us. The are park hopper so that is good. Well, we don't know what to do. Throught mousesavers if you buy 3, 4, or 5 day ph they upgrade free to 6 day ph. So then we have 7 days of tickets. The free ticket does not expire till 2010 and we will get 4 more in Dec and then 4 more next July. do we
1. Book an extra night and stay 8 days, 7 nights and use the bonus tickets.
2. Still stay 7 days, 6 nights and use the bonus ticket for the day we get there, even if it is only for a few hours.
3. Keep with our original plan and save the bonus ticket for next year? Assumnng I continue to work for DS and have 12 tickets by this time next year?
4. Last idea - buy 10 day ph, no exp for everyone, use 5 days from it and our bonus tickets, and then next year we will already have another 5 days?

This was easier to plan without free tickets! I do get a nice discount on the room, but I am not sure if there is availablitly yet. I haven't called.

I know this is long, but I am so confused!

I say option4 but that is just me. I keep hoping they open a Disney store at one of the malls close to me so I can try to get a job there!

Hi Ladies

Well since we are all so open with each other, this is the first time meeting her dad...he wasn't the greatest father and decided to take off when she was 3 weeks old. Yup. Great guy. Anyway, Ireland is 5 here and this is her first time meeting him, and also the last time she's seen him. Surprise..he hasn't called or visited her... She likes the picture, but we don't have it hung on the wall or anything...

Oh how sad for Ireland, and someday she will know what a jerk he is. My sister's "father" ra off while my mom was prego. He didn't come back around until my sister was 25 or so. She met him, then called my mom and told her that she had been much better off all those years not knowing him...she didn't like him at all! She then thanked our Dad for being there for her.

Okay, thought I put another quote in here...but I will admit...I love Barry Manilow! Yep! He is great! Been to see him twice...actually, that was my very first concert when I was about 10! I can't afford his tickets anymore! My mom was going to take me to see him in DC last year but one ticket was like $100! We decided that was a little much! DS4 loves to sing his songs! Drives DH crazy!

Stephanie, I looked at walgreens and did not see eye patches of any kind. I looked in the eye section and in the bandage section- of course my world is a little foggy when I am sick so I may have been staring right out them.... Hopefully someone else can help you out, and I will check out other stores when I go.

Thanks so much for looking! I've found the Canadian supplier of the cute printed eye-patches, but they are all the way in Scarborough (we here in the Toronto area call it "Scarberia" 'cause it's soooo far from everywhere.) I might have to find a reason to drive all that way.

Do any of you recognize this place?

Ummmm that's South of the Border! The most over-advertised place on the planet! We stopped there on our way to Myrtle Beach one year. Your family is gorgeous!

Okay, so I have to know...where do you see the first billboard? Canada?

 

[100AcrePrincess]

You know, I've never really wanted to go to Washington or Oregon, but you may have just changed my mind (and I can go to Forks while I'm there). Those pics are beautiful. And that's a nasty looking jellyfish (you can keep you fanny packs though )

 

[mrsklamc]

Tell your boss that occasionally they put stuff in movies that's accurate!!

Hmmm. When the disney store gets done with their re-org I may have to look into a part time job. I'd probably spend everything I made but if I can get an employee discount that may be my way of justifing a deluxe one time in my life!

 

[2cutekidz]

That reminds me Leslie 2cutekidz- Did you take your kids to that Mud day. They had that on our local news, it looked like a lot of fun but very messy! Not something you could make a custom outfit for!

Seriously it made the news there? Nope we did n't do mud day. I took Emily when Matthew was a baby (maybe 6 months old), but after she said she never wanted to do that again!! She was fine until kids started throwing mud. Then to get her cleaned up, you go to a spot where the fire department hoses them off - you know with their BIG hoses! Emily was rooted to the spot getting shot by a huge blast of water, and I had to dodge the spray and pull her out. She was not a happy camper!! So we don't do Mud Day any more. Here' some pictures for the paper of Mud Day!! (By the way Em, NEVER got this muddy!!) There's a video link too.

Barry drives my DH crazy too. I threatened him when I was pregnant with Grace that I was going to burn a cd to play during delivery of Barry Manilow and Meatloaf (I love Paradise by the Dashboard Lights) just to torture him. I didn't but it would have been his idea of H_ll! I will say that when we went to see him in February my DH was surprised at how many songs he recognized and actually thought he was a good performer (even if he wasn't his taste). He didn't mind it that much I guess. He was a good sport anyway!

Here is my take on the signature pillowcase. I liked it but I really liked the one posted earlier. I used a clip board one time and an embroidery hoop the rest. I liked the hoop better but I agree it was a time crunch rearranging the fabric for the next character.

I don't think I posted this before. Here is the cake I made for DD's birthday in June. We had a Strawberry theme.

And DD wore this top:

The reason we went with a strawberry theme; My aunt made Lauren a knit strawberry hat when I was pg since Lauren was due in June (Strawberry season). Here is a pic of Lauren just a day old in her strawberry hat.

You can take the rain. I'm sick of it! Plus I'm on vaca next week...day care is closed for two weeks so I take a week off and then my mom takes her to Maine for a week (DH only gets enough vaca time for Disney). All my plans pretty much involve OUTSIDE activities!

Why are you on the boards...go work on your DH!!!

I will send you some hot, sweltering sun, and you send me some rain!

I will start talking to dh about it today....we'll see. he has always been a whole family vacationer!

I say option4 but that is just me. I keep hoping they open a Disney store at one of the malls close to me so I can try to get a job there!

I like option 4 too! Then I can use some of the other extra tickets I get for maybe te dismeet????

This is our first time in a deluxe thanks to my job. I got 50% off the room! I do spend a lot of what I make at the store. It is so hard to resist!

OMG! That looks like a lot of fun! I would love to try that out! sara Beth would hate it of course...she doesn't like to get dirt or water on her clothes!

I understand. Ashley's dad took off when I was 8 months pregnant. He was attending West Point and supposingly was sent home for a semester due to his grades...which his mom blamed on me. Pretty funny since I only saw him on weekends and I was in the honor society at my college! I called after she was born and his mom took over the call and made him hang up. Umbilial cord was apparently never cut. So, she has never met her biological dad. She used to have a pic of him, but after 12 years she gave up. I have been married to her "dad" now for 7 years. To her, that is her daddy. She never mentions her "sperm donor"!

 

[t-beri]

My "father" dropped my mother off at the hospital to give birth to me and never came back. I've done pretty darn well in spite of it, just as Ireland and Jenna will. It's not a club we choose, but it's a club of pretty cool chicks who rise up and show the world how extraordinary they are, daddy or no daddy.

That is the sweetest reply ever!!

DH and I are so spoiled with concerts very young we got lucky and got great seats for a Lep show at MSG and ever since then we don't go to many but when we do we have to be close! Although that concert was the closest I have ever been.

My dad used to LOVE U2 the Christmas before he died I finished his U2 cd collection. I now have them.

We were supposed to have GA tickets (and would've been close even if it meant standing in line in Atlanta in November for hours 'cause I'm short), but I was about 4 months pregnant so we swapped tickets with someone. The seats weren't that bad really, but I forgot my camera & had to buy a disposable. I didn't have a very good veiw of Bono, but I was right behind Larry's drums so I was happy.

How fun!
Way to tough of a decision for me...BUT are you planning to come to our DisMeet (if it materializes)? Don't forget that you'll need tickets for that too!!!

What do you mean IF???? Heathersue and I will definitely be there, we already have our plane tix! And I'm pretty sure Karebear won't let us down either, she's bringing the fanny packs!

That pillowcase is a great idea! I wanted to do that on our Disney cruise, but I didn't want to be dragging 4 pillowcases around. I did get a cool photo mat autographed. I love the strawberry birthday cake! I am the worst cake decorater. I don't even try anymore.

HEY!!! I will DEFINITELY be there. Granted I don't step on a sewing needle and put myself out of commission again WOOHOO- fanny packs. Can they be coach???

...t.

 

[kjbrown]

Wow that sounds the winner that is Jenna's daddy. He left when I was 4 months pg with her and hasn't called or seen her ever. She will be 7 in a couple of weeks.

Just a word of hope for you both, my dad was never around. I briefly saw him once a year for a few years when I was much younger. LOOOONNNG story. But anyway, I got over it and am a happy and healthy grown up. Mostly.

So, kids with loser dads can still turn out pretty good. And we REALLY appreciate our moms once we have kids of our own!

In honor of Jahmmie and all or Utah friends, our tour today starts in SLC, Utah- namely Temple Square. TS is located in the heart of SLC and is absolutley gorgeous! I'm sure you can tell that about 2/3 of these pics were taken from the inside of a building- sorry about that! If you look close, I'll bet that you can tell what we were doing there! Jahm- if you have additional pics for us while we're in UT please post them! I don;t have any of the mountains to show- maybe you do???

This is a view of downtown:

This is the view of TS- the top SLC Temple. Whenever you see a news report about Utah- they always show this building.

Temple Square at Christmas:

While we're here for our short visit- let's go listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. OMG! This concert was phenomonal! The sound in this hall- unbelievable. This pic was taken at their last concert in the Assembly Hall on the square. They shut it down for refurbishment and moved the Choir over to the new Conference Center.

That's it for our tour today. Sorry the trip to SLC was sooooo short- but it's because we're in a hurry to go to VEGAS baby!!

We're gonna stay here- a for a special surprise we're going to a show! Can you guess which one?? Here's your hint: This One's for YOU!
