***Disney Design Addict's Chit Chat,Designs and Pixie Dust! Everybody WELCOME!*** Part 2

[ksoehrlein]

You know, it's a shame, this was one of the few threads on this board where there haven't been any flames. We were lucky to get this far before they started. Let's hope there are no more.

I think that should be the DDA slogan: 7045 posts and no flames.

Of course like factories that post the number of accident-free days, I guess now we're back down to 4 flame-free posts!

Shriva- are you serious? When I first read your response, I thought you were angry- and then I saw your "poop killed my addiction" lime green Mickey head and laughed out loud!
Noone meant to make you feel bad. A simple "Can we please stick to the subject of the thread this poop stuff makes me sick" would've been sufficient to stop a conversation you felt uncomfortable with. My comments earlier were made in jest to lighten the situation, not to make you feel bad. So sorry if they did.

Shriva - I am sorry you feel that way -

This thread is as long as it is b/c we are like a big family and we were all worried about Denise's son - we were helping her keep the situation in perspective b/c we all know that it is WAY too easy as a mother to become neurotic about things we don't have any control over

I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from posting off topic posts in this thread - it would die pretty quickly -

I have noticed since most of us seem to be leaving or in WDW right now the requests are starting to slow down and since we are in a design lull - we still want to chat and check in with each other!

My dh calls me a nightowl, but I must have turned in too early last night (11:30PM) because I was 5 pages behind this morning. I'm been here since day 1 and never get in on those milestone posts. . Perhaps I am just not addicted enough. I do get obsessive though, I've got 10 days before we leave and I'm 95% packed! My DDA shirts are all in the bags and just one more pillowcase to make. Hoping Julia and Nick's Mom will have time to make me a Colby design with all the characters, but she leaves a week before me so I may have to make do with something else.

Deb

Hey Deb - did you send me a PM about this? If so - I didn't get it - I did not get any PM's over the past few days - but got some last night - I am a little worried that my box was full and it didn't let anyone know - if any of you have sent me a PM that I should have responded to and didn't - please try again!!!

I'll bet he was relieved when you told him it was all done! Good job!


I have a question for anyone out there. Does anyone know if a thin plastic is available for putting through a printer? I want to take some of the designs and make luggage tags out of them- but to make them sturdy enough, I want to have a "credit card" type of plastic to print them on. Can anyone help me???

I don't think so - but you could use labels and stick them on one

ETA: what if you print it on cardstock and buy self laminating pouches and put them in there

Hello! My two little sare having their birthday in the next couple of weeks. I'm trying to make shirts for them, because a few of you helped me with the eldest daughter's shirt, now they want one too.

Harry will turn 1. He loves Stitch, Finding Nemo, especially the turtles, huge Mickey fan. It was his first word.

Epiphania will turn 4, she loves Alice in Wonderland, Mogli and Shanti from the Jungle book.


Thanks!

Can't you buy lamenating sheets at like Office Depot. Years ago I remember buying lamenating sheets to protect my social security cards.

what software do you guys use when you design the tshirts?

 

[julia & nicks mom]

photoshop or photoimpact - the people who use photoshop - tend to have it for work -

the photoimpact is an impressive program at a fraction of the cost!

Sorry you feel that way. You sound like my husband. He just don't get it when we mothers talk kid talk. I guess you just have to be a woman or a mother to understand these things. This is a wonderful thread and although I don't chime in very often I love to read and feel apart of what is going on.

Triplefigs so glad your son passed the penny.

Hey, alot of fathers understand "poop" stuff too. Who do you think thought of the pressed penny idea?

My DH does too! He thought the pressed penny idea was hilarious!

I lvoe your mickey in your signature!!

 

[itslisa]

triplefigs ~~~ Hooray the penny passed!!!!

julia & nicks mom ~~~ about the "self laminating pouches", when they get wet, they fall apart. I used them for DS's ID cards last year and they got wet and fell apart.

This year, I plan to bring them to Staples. They will laminate and I can put several on one sheet and then cut them apart.

ETA: It's a "hot" laminate process as opposed to the cold laminate you can buy off the shelves. I want to say it cost about $1 for an 8.5x11 sheet laminated. I think that is actually cheaper than doing the cold laminate. Oh .... if you want to print the cards 2 sided, be sure to use a heavy paper (like resume paper) or card stock.

I have a Word file I use for making a child ID --- I just update it with a new picture and stats. The amount of money they want to do a picture ID is ridiculous! I can make all I want -- and do! LOL My DH and I each carry one. My have one is DS's backpack. And, each of the grandmother's have one.

Thanks, Paul. And I'm going to make a Pooh one just for a good laugh to go in our book! BTW, where do you get the pressed pennies made? We haven't been to WDW in 10 years!

Hello Everyone!!

Have been traveling for work and personal, and so haven't been able to check the board in over a week. Think we were at 6000 or so when I was last on here, and now we're at 6980+!! My gosh you all have been busy!!

Will take me a while to go back through all the pages to see what all has been going on with everyone. From what I can tell, it has been very busy at Triplefigs' house with the penny fiasco!!

My cousin shoved a bunch of peas up her nose when she was little. The doctor went to take them out, shoved them up further into her nose, and then said, "Well, they're organic, they'll start to decompose and come out." Can you believe it?! I don't trust that Kaiser medical group in CA.


Jennifer

They should have gone to a dentist and used one of those mouth suction thingies to suck those peas out.

EVERYWHERE! LOL

Here's a list: http://allearsnet.com/btp/pennylist.htm

BTW .... I read a really neat idea. Save the tubes from M&M mini's! They hold quarters!!!! We stack our with 2 quarters, penny, 2 quarters, penny, to the top. That way ... I'm not fishing around for change.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Found this in someones eBay store, sorry if posted before. If any one wants to use it go ahead.

It is great when a man can understand these things but usually it is one in a million. LOL Sorry didn't mean to step on anyones toes. LOL

What do the pennies look like after they are pressed? Anyone have pictures? I had NO idea there were so many. No wonder they sell the pressed penny books! How much does it cost to make a penny? Oh, and can you buy completed books with all the pennies?
