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

[pdarrah]

Another way to filter out some of those inapropriate images... If you are doing a Google image search, there is a small blue link to the right for "preferences". One of the preferences you can set is called Safe Search and you can tell it what level you are comfortable with. As a boring, conservative midwesterner, I was pretty shocked at some of the images I was running into (even Cinderella - yuck!!!!) but since I changed this setting I'm not getting surprised anymore

Sending lots of pixie dust to your fur babies.

Nick& JuliesMom
Have a great vacation.

Don't Wash the canvas bag.
I did it wringled bad.
Very hard to iron out wringles.
I say just go for it.

I think I have some Pocahontas.
I'll look.

If its not too late - have a great trip Kate! We arrive next Saturday -- we overlap by a day. Wish I were leaving tomorrow!

[Steamboat Marti]

Welcome back Brendita -- glad you weren't gone too long! I guess its hard to stay away from an addiction!

 

[julia & nicks mom]

My plane is tomorrow at 7:00

I will probably check in around 3:00 tomorrow before I leave

Is it a problem that my kids have 13 & 15 homemade shirts for our 9 day vacation? and Julia is asking for more?

My nieces are starting to give me requests for next week too - I think I made 50 some odd shirts last night and have 10 more to do (that is for 14 people!!)

I ironed on canvas bag with no washing. I used Avery dark paper. No problems.

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.

Our you kidding me.
I went through withdraw.
I'm only leaving to go to WDW for 14 days.
I'll be back ASAP.
I found out very quickly, if DH went to be an ***.
No problem, I have a great Dis family right here.

denise, I love the pic of the kids in their swimming gear. cute.

Thanks. They're taking year round lessons. Curious George is in the picture because he got sent home from school with Davis. He has to go everywhere we go for the next 5 days, and we take pictures. George is 'curious' about the kids' home life. Then you write a journal and send the pictures back. All the kids do it, so you get to know the children in the class. It's been fun! So far George has gone to choir, Church dinner, swim lessons, and Brantley-Kate's ballet class. He's a busy monkey!!!

 

[triplefigs]

here is the pocahontas design I did.

guess it would help if I put the pic on here

Do you have that big? Could you email it to me? I'll PM you my email address. It would be perfect!

Can't wait to see all the pictures! Have a blast!

Kate - Have a great trip. I will look for your family in your shirts. Maybe I will get a sneak peek at the new ones. We will have lots of your princess shirts on. Thanks again for all your designs. My girls are excited.

I will not have a computer to read anything. I will be in withdrawals & depressed when we have to come home. I will figure out how to post pictures then.

Leaving at 6:00 am Saturday!!!!

Kate - See you soon! Have a great time.

Triplefigs - my DS is going to be bringing home Curious Stanley for the weekend in a few weeks. We have to do the same thing. Take him with us and then write a journal of his adventures. It should be fun. But I think I will be the one doing all the journaling, as DS is only 5.

Me too! I'll make him sign his name, though. It's been a blast. The kids are all into it. And just think, I get to do this THREE times!

 

[Tammi67]

Well, you are going to need to think of different adventures for George each time. You don't want him getting bored with the same old routine!

Yes, I do. And since they are in 3 different classes I get Spot the Dog for DD and an elephant for DS? This weekend will be hard to beat as my parents are coming in town for the holiday, and we're going to a Pumpkin Patch/hayride. I guess if I get one when we go to WDW, now that would be fun! Then I'd have to make a tiny DDA shirt for the stuffed animal... more shirts!

You guys think Kate is actually sleeping? There's NO WAY I could if I was leaving tomorrow!

Her plane doesn't leave until 7pm. I hope she gets a little sleep. I think she had 10 shirts left to make??? She's a mad woman, and we LOVE her!

 

[karebear1]

She's STILL making those shirts!?!?!?!? She's quite a woman that's for sure. I can see her now..... the ironing board all set up, WDW vacation dvd's playing extra loud on surround sound and Kate, in her Mrs. Potts costume, ironing ALL THOSE T-SHIRTS! Ah Kate- if I lived by you, I'd be there right beside ya ironing for you! AND I'd wear the beast costume! You've done so much for all of us. You're a sweetheart of a girl!!!

 

[disneyeveryyear]

My3Princes - I hope your animals start to feel better and that you can have a relaxing holiday.

KATE - Have a wonderful trip. I guess you will have an excuse to put the kids on all of the water rides, just so you can change their shirts in the middle of the afternoon, or at least your kids will have a clean shirt for dinner each night without worrying about laundry. Hopefully your vacation will be relaxing after all you have been doing for us. P.S. Did you get your eye infection all cleared up?

Triplefigs - We have friends with triplets who always made sure that the girls were in different classes. Now that they are in middle school, the girls have every class together. Mom thought it would be tough, but now she only has to help with one spelling list each week, all tests are on the same day, all the girls are doing same units in each class and all projects are the same and due at once. She loves it! She wishes she would have thought of this before. Makes her life a whole lot easier!
