I have printed 8 transfers for lite colored shirts for our trip. I started trimming this am. Can someone tell me if you have to leave a 1/8 or 1/4 inch edge around the design? Or what will happen if I just cut around the border?

Thanks,
Terry

WOW! Really?!?!? Thanks! Here is Alissa- she got married in Salt Lake City this summer to the cutest boy! This was taken by her Uncle- who is an attorney by profession, but a photographer by hobby!

and this one is of Alissa and Kyle- it's just a snap shot- not as nice as the first!

Ok- I hope this worked!

Having grown up in SLC, I am playing guess that photo spot....

The one of Alissa and Kyle- I KNOW where that granite is from...

The garden shot....hmmm, this is a little tougher. I want to say Red Butte gardens at the U of U- but it may also be the new gardens by the eagle gate?

Beautiful photos and you have a beautiful daughter.

Let me know how I did.

 

[legalslave]

Kate, cheer up! The UG says that October 9, 10, 11 are a 5 as far as crowds and Christmas day is a 10!!! The 12th is a 4!!! Relax and go with the flow!

Celeste- you are a clever, well educated girl! You are absolutely RIGHT! The garden picture is in Red Butte Gardens at the U of U, and the white granite...... The SLC Temple of course! 2 of our 3 kids live in Utah (one at U of U) the other (Alissa- at BYU) and the oldest is a flight attendant for Soiuthwest and currently is based out of Chicago.... although that will be changing in the next month or so. Did I notice you are from Illinois, or was it Indiana? WE have family in the CHicago area and family in Illinois.

Julia & Nicks Mom- I wouldn't worry about the crowds when you go. People sometimes over exagerate when they speak about crowds. There may be more people then usual in October, but it certainly won't be like the Thanksgiving crowd or the Christmas crowd! I was at WDW in October 2 years ago, and while it was more crowded then what I was use to going in January, it was still VERY managable and we had a wonderful time!

Rosijo- thanks! Those flower colors just came out the sky and fell into our laps! Alissa had the hardest time trying to decide colors for her wedding, SO, she started with one idea.... and it formed into these flowers. Her wedding dress was actually a strapless dress. She had the capped sleeves added- and I really liked it a lot better that way. The dress was designed by Maggie Soterro (sp?) - who is a wedding dress designer in the USA, but could be international as well. Instead of a traditional white gown, ALissa liked the "champagne" colored one one her better- and I agreed with that too. Taht white dress just paled her out soooo bad. When are you getting married? It's lots of work isn't it?

Brendita- So sorry you are having rough times right now. Please, if you need any help, let us know. We will miss you and your talents much!

Midnite- I would LOVE to help, if you can send me directions on how to do what you need done, I'd love to learn it!

 

[icunurse_celeste]

I am so bad with faces that even though I have seen you all now I'm sure that I wouldn't recognize you in the thousands of people we will see at WDW unless of course I recognize your shirt or see a lime green Mickey.


Deb

Deb, your comment reminded me of something that happens to me....sometimes I don't recognize former patients- I always blame it on the fact that they are wearing real clothes. I tell them, put the gown on- then I'll know who you are.

 

[icunurse_celeste]

I am sitting here close to tears - what is wrong with me!?! I just read that last year Columbus Day rivaled Christmas with its crowds!!


I really hope the parks aren't that crowded b/c that will just stink!!!

Here is my tip:

If you are staying on property- go to the EARLY magic hours....avoid the late magic hours parks, go to the parks that are doing their regular hours. Use the fast pass often and wisely....remember that you can't get another one until 30 mintues before the earliest time on your fast pass. The crowds won't be bad after Monday....



Very nice of you to make so many shirts for other people.

How did you like the transfer paper on ebay? I am going to be making 100+ shirts for my cruise in September, for the "Diserthon" and if you liked that paper- maybe I'll try it too. Who was the seller?



I hope you have a great vacation.

 

[LoriDee]

Triplefigs and Brendita,

My prayers and a truck load of PD are coming your way. Please keep us updated on things.

Kate - Got the transfers, thank you so much. Don't let those crowd reports get you down. Everything will work out. Enjoy your upcoming trip.

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Thank you for the information- I don't know how I was convinced to do these shirts? I know there will be atleast 100 and possibly even 300- yikes- part of a disevent our cruise group is doing. I'm still trying to figure out how much everything is going to charge- I won't be making a profit but I don't want to spend my own money either.....

The ligth transfers will not show up on the shirt - you can trim around the edges getting close but not so close that you cut the design and it will not show on the shirt - if there is space in the design you will not notice the transfer

 

[Cajun Princess]

triplefigs - I hope your son passes the penny soon

Brendita - Stay strong, all things have a way of working out. Sending prayers, , and your way.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I cut around the design on one and I didn't know if I could use it or not. I have also learned to go out and try to find some for dark transfers even if the shirts are a light colored beige or sage. My Animal Kingdom is now green instead of beige, but it still looks good.

Thanks, again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so I figured by age 5 we'd be way past this problem... I guess not. DS just swallowed a penny, and I think he was encouraged by DS and DD. I called the Pediatrician, and pennies made after 1982 are highly corrosive in the stomach due to a high percentage of zinc. DS has also had stomach surgery (a Fundoplication) which may make it harder for him to pass it.

So, I have to watch him closely for the next 2 days and see if it has passed. If not, he will have to go to the hospital to have it removed. So, could you please send prayers that he passes it without trouble? Guess the new piggy bank is being put up.

Here's an article about swallowing a penny.

http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/HQ/01661.html

I'm so sorry that this happened. My DS did the same thing when he was 2. He was begging for attention just after the twins were born, and he figured that would be a good way to get it. Our ER doctor told us to watch his diapers and within 48 hours he should pass it. Wouldn't you know? 48 hours almost to the minute it was found in his diaper. He was none the worse for wear, but the penny and turned green. DH thought it was so cool, that after he washed it off, and it was still a bright green, he decided to keep it to show all DS girlfriends when he gets older. Weird, huh?

I'm sending good thoughts your way, that it will pass soon, and uneventfully.

Thanks to all of you for all your Birthday Wishes.
You have made my day today.
I can't explain right now.
I just had something happen to me.
Sorry I can't go into it right now.
All I can say is everyone health wise is OK.
I will be off-line for a while.
I need to figure out some things in my personal life.
I want to say you all are the most caring bunch of people.
I have had the pleasure to meet.
Keep this thread going strong.
I'll be back later.

I hope all is ok with you! When one of our DDA's hurts, we all hurt for her (or him). I'm sending good thought, prayers and wishes your way! Let us know if there is anything we can do. We all have pretty good ears for listening, and shoulders for leaning on.

I, too, know that Granite. With a LARGE family, we spend a lot of time there for pictures. I was wondering about the garden spot, as well. It's beautiful. Let us know where it is, as I've got several nieces who are looking.


Nevermind. I just saw your post about Red Butte Gardens. Beautiful! Hope it was a beautiful day!

On another note, I guess I am not to sick anymore about our choice to "take the money" instead of the upgrade. DH has PROMISED me that we will go next December so I can finally see WDW decorated for Christmas! Guess that means I'll be watching out for more great Christmas designs!!
