Just posting this again, hoping it just got overlooked among the tons of posts on this thread the first time.

Triplefigs - so glad your DS is okay.

Hi!

I am more than happy to do this for you - but can it wait until I get back on October 17? If you send me a PM of what you want - I will remember to do it when I get back!

Kate

Ironed on all my shirts last night and I LOVE them - I don't know if I will get my act together to post before I leave or not!

My sisters are going to overlap a weekend with us and I have learned that trying to plan one weekend with 14 people is stress enough - no big trips to WDW with others!! (unless they are as obsessive about planning as me!)

I e-mailed Penny (choascent) her life has been "chaos" and she has been afraid to get sucked back into the addiction - but she might check in this weekend!

Brendita - people can send you an email through your photobucket account - I have gotten some requests that way - I am not sure if you can block it or not - I agree it is confusing to get them that way - I work from my PM's and sometimes I forget they are there!

Gotta go pack!! Have a great day!!!

Kate--Just wanted to pass on my wishes for a great trip for all of you. I will be busy at work the rest of the day and don't know if I will have time to check in again or not. Thanks for everything you have done for all of us here. If anyone deserves a great vacation, it is you. Have a MAGICAL time!

here is some info from a thread over on the tech board

I also have RoadRunner. Do you?

I have earthlink through Bright House Networks. Still can't see pics.

Found that thread and read some more (WAY too techie stuff!) but DID find a work around. If you go to www.surfshield.net and put the website in their bar, you can surf through there....it's a proxy server. Basically, it's using different pathways...ones that aren't blocked by that Level3 company. It is a bit slower, but at least the pics come up! Just make sure you browse in the window, so it stays in frames through surfshield (your address bar should always start with surfshield.net.....). Hope that helps someone else!

I have 2 windows open. One in surfshield one not. While the surfshield window loads (VERY slowly) a thread with pics (like this one ) I read my other subscribed threads in a regular window.

CheriePenguin Most of the designers are working off PM's so they don't lose requests in the thread. You might want to pick one and send it off so it doesn't get overlooked. Sounds like a very cute idea!

Thanks! And to everyone who prayed for us, sent PMs and emails, and notes on this board, I truly appreciate the support and sentiments. This thread has turned into an invaluable network of FRIENDS!

 

[triplefigs]

Kate,

Hope you all have a fabulous and magical vacation at the World. We are all going to miss you tons! Try to post off DH's computer if you get a chance. Can't wait to hear all about it and see pictures.

Don't attack anybody wearing your shirts out of excitement. You might give 'em a heart attack.

Have fun, Mrs Potts!!!!!!!

Thanks to those who replied about sending a PM for designs - but I wasn't trying to request a custom design, I kind of wanted to create them myself (borrowing heavily from all the great ideas everyone has been working on here!).

I just had those questions about using the canvas bag, and was asking if anyone had any good Disney Mom+Child clipart. The bag is cotton, but feels stiff, and says no pre-washing needed and hand-wash only.

I just found the updated clipart link Baloo posted. Not sure why I didn't find that site when I was looking before - maybe it was down or too busy and I just never checked back. I found a few more clipart images there that I can use.

If it were me...I'd try to do an iron on directly on the bag without prewashing. I'd be too lazy to try to do the transfer on some other fabric and then sew it on the bag and I think you'll get better results without prewashing on this item. I don't know how "perfect" it will be because I don't know how well the transfer will take to the texture of the canvas but you could always try and if it didn't work cover it up with something you sew on. I think it would be easier to make a bag from scratch then to sew something onto to the existing bag. OK I must fess up I don't hand sew-if it can't be done by machine I don't do it.

 

[lovesdumbo]

HEY...all this bag talk got me to thinking---you guys should design some Christmas stockings....

OK back to work now so I can really go on vacation!

Hi all. I am the one who posted the mickey tie dyes back on page one! I have finally made our tshirts for our upcoming trip.

It is DH birthday so he has a bday shirt and I have an unbirthday shirt. And then we both have MNSSHP shirts.

This is totally off topic, but you have all shared your personal trials of late so here are mine. I have an old dog, he is nearly 14 with severe arthritis in his rear legs. We put him on meds in June and it apparently helps with the pain, but now he is "poop" incontinent several times a week. We have dealt with this for several months as we love him dearly and just aren't ready to put him down yet. Yesterday I noticed him scratching at his ear. Both his ears are full of the nasty brown/bloody crud that comes with an ear infection. Told DH last night that I was going to need to get him to the vet before our trip. Today my 12 yr old cat is found peeing where he shouldn't be and it is blood tinged. I make an appointment to get them both seen today. While waiting for todays appoint I discover that during the night the cat "marked" in every room of the house!! The vet checked out the dog (he was just there a couple of months ago) and he now has testicular cancer and he thinks he is getting senile which is why he doesn't always make it outside. He said the cancer won't cause him pain and not to try to treat that due to his age. He is putting him on a med for his senility and still treating the arthritis and drops for his ears. The cat (who has had urinary issues before) is not blocked and the vet feels that he is feeling stressed which can cause the urinary inflammation and blood in the urine. We are treating him with antibotics for 10 days (We'll be in Disney before his meds are done). The Vet asked if there was stress in our house, Let's see, 3 kids heading in different directions, an old dog that doesn't walk well often pooping in the house, packing for our vacation, no stress here. He thinks that the cat saw me packing and is acting out . Can you believe it, my cat doesn't want me to go on vacation. My family will be pet sitting so I'm sure that they can handle it. We don't need to decide what to do with the old dog now so I guess the problem is adverted for now. I'm crating the cat in a large dog crate until the meds kick in so I won't have to clean up after him.

Ok that is the end of my ranting. I promise no more "poop talk" from me. We all have issues and I'm thankful that mine are minor compared to others. Vacation in 9 days and we deserve it.

I would love this too.
One of Midnight's designs would be great if the Incredible family and the "Having an Incredible time"were removed. I have tried on my Mac, but really don't know what I am doing

Sounds almost like what happened to me last summer. I have a service dog that is my baby and goes everywhere with me. My cousin and I went on vacation last summer for a week and my parents babysat for me. Well my dog ate 3/4 of a ruffle off a throw pillow I had. We ended up spending 5 1/2 hours at a vet hospital to find out that she needed surgery to the tune of $2500. we asked if we could watch her and see if maybe she would throw it up or make it to monday to go to regular vet(maybe cheaper too). they said yes and to find pediasure(sp) to give to her. monday she went to the vet and she still had the blockage. vet then wanted us to take her to thehospital for them to watch her. we said we will watch her and if anything goes wrong we will takeher to the hospital. about 10:30 monday night she threw up all the ruffle. I joke saying she heard my mom say surgery. luckily she is fine and back to her old self. I am just worried about her doing it again when I leave her with my parenst when i go to Disney for a week in 2007.

Deb,

I am so sorry! My cat is like my child, and I know you must be upset. Sending PD get well vibes for your dog and kitty. I hope they both are feeling better soon. Just tell the cat you'll get him an "Mouse" souvenir while you're at WDW!

Those look great! I especially like your MNSSHP shirt (the orange and black sparkle shirt). That looks GREAT! Where did you get the shirt, or did you make it? Have a wonderful trip. See where your tie dye shirts got us all?

Thanks so much for the compliments. I actually "recontructed" the MNSSHP shirt. It was an XL orange t shirt. I cut off the sleeves and neck. Then added the black halloween spiderweb fabric. Then I just cut the sides off to fit closer and poked holes in it and laced it up with black ribbon. It was super simple. I just used the orange pieces I cut off for the pattern for the black pieces.

Very creative. It looks spectacular! I hate how most t-shirts fit as they are too "boxy". Take pictures for us to see!

Deb,

I swear that when my husband and I went to Ireland in 1998, the four cats knew and decided to let us know that they were not happy. They do hold a grudge.
