What kind of printer does everyone use? I have a small HP printer that prints in color. Would this work for the transfers? as anyone had any luck printing them at a Kinkos type place? I was planning to print at work, but the good color printer has decided to take a semi-permanent hiatus.

Thanks!!

OMG that is too cute!!!!! We just got back from my brother's wedding in DC and that was DS2's first plane trip. All he talks about now is how we are going to take the "great big car" (limo) to the airplane to go see "Mickey and Cinderumbrella and the Great Big Castle!" And we still have 12 days to go!!!!!!!!
Have a wonderful time!!!!

Cinderumbrella

That is so cute.

On a slightly lighter note, my arm is about to fall off from doing the rest of my shirts today!
I made 21 total and here is a sampling of my favorites:
...
Here's for CRT (hopefully DH will wear the King Daddy one!)

...

Here are 2 for DS2- the one on the left is to wear on the plane and the one on the right is the family T so I made one for each of us.

...
The one on the left is for me to wear to Food & Wine fest in the evenings and the one on the left is wishful thinking that DS2 will actually sleep!

Again, these are terrific! How lucky for your family to have such a variety to choose from

We are picking the older kids up at school tomorrow am to head for the airport. My ds7 could not get to sleep tonight as he is so excited. I was reading these boards and my ds2 comes running out wearing his first haircut Mickey ears from a previous trip and trying to stuff his blanket into a backpack. He announces that he is ready to go to Mickey's House now. It was just too cute. I think he may be the most excited and knowing how excited I am that is an amazing statement.

Have a wonderful trip, Deb. We leave on Wednesday so I am very excited too!

Cinderumbrella - your shirts came out beatifully! I still have 5 to go and we leave Saturday!

I've printed all of my transfers from my little HP deskjet 3420 - I've learned one thing -- its not the quality of printer that matters as much as the quality of the transfer paper. I printed our last two transfers today - one on our last piece of the ebay dark transfer paper and the other on Avery dark transfer paper. They were identical designs, but the quality was vastly different! The ebay paper was far superior to the Avery - but I haven't ironed them yet, so I'll post them tomorrow when they're done. It's amazing how much I've learned in the last couple of days!

I I just shared with my wife all of your kind words. From the bottom of our hearts thank you!

Back to the topic, where do you get this good transfer paper?

My first attempt at design....

 

[triplefigs]

BOO! I'm watching ER and DH finally gave me the laptop so I could surf and post at the same time.

Love the new shirts! And y'all all are leaving for WDW. I'm so jealous!!!

Kate (julia & nicks mom) bought some great paper off Ebay. She'll be back this weekend. PM her and she can give you the seller's name. Everyone says it's the best they've used. I haven't made any shirts yet, but I got the dark and light from Kate.

I did not get in on the Ebay paper so I used the Avery paper. I used the light on all the white shirts and the dark on the black shirts and 1 of the white shirts (ran out of light paper). While the color seemed "crisper" using the dark paper, the shirt felt more natural using the light paper. Does that make sense?

I can't wait to see your finished shirts. My printer is very similar to yours.

Thanks!

I am so excited. This is our first trip since our Disneymoon in 95 (we stayed at the Poly), kids first time ever. I cannot wait! I am secretly hoping the kids have such an awesome time that they beg DH constantly to go back! We've got a trip to Hilton Head planned for next summer, but I want to cancel that and plan an October trip to take the kids to MNSSHP. I'm so devious! I just hope they are all Disney fanatics like ME! DH likes it, but isn't a fanatic. At least he likes it!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

This is our first time back since 2000 and is DS's first trip. We are already definitely going back next December (probably the second week) and are tenatively planning Sept 2007 for our 10 year anniversary and June 2008 for DS's 5th birthday.

I never went to WDW as a kid, saw it for the first time on my honeymoon and I was hooked!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To everyone who has posted on this thread. Whether your child has Asthma, CP, Cancer or any other challenge, having the support and love from everyone means so very much. My oldest son who is now 33 and was just in the hospital for his second Asthma attack this year. When they wanted to put him on a ventilator, I almost came unglued. I knew he would be ok, but at that moment, nothing else mattered but being with him. Macntosh, Triplfigs and anyone else that I know I will miss in mentioning, my love and thoughts go to you. I know the stares and how they can be so frustrating. When Howie would really get to coughing and sound like he was ready to throw-up, you could see people wanting to get away from him you would not want to see it, but you feel yourself wishing they could spend just ten minutes in your child's shoes to understand his feelings and how scared he was at that moment.

My parents were here this weekend to visit. I showed them my designs, and they were really impressed. My dad told me to email him my photobucket links. He and my mom like the designs so much, they said I should work for Disney. I found that to be such a compliment from my parents (who are NOT Disney fanatics). It really made me feel good!

How scary for you both. I hope he's being followed by a good Pulmonologist and on a preventative and emergency regimen. Make sure to get him a Medic Alert bracelet too.
