***Disney Design Addict's Chit Chat,Designs and Pixie Dust! Everybody WELCOME!*** Part 3

[dumby]

Sorry to ask this question again but I can't find the answer. I have searched and searched.
I received my transfer paper for macntosh today and don't know which is which. One sheet has the purple strip and the other sheet has the red & blue strip. Also does anyone have the directions for the light sheets. I printed out the directions for the dark that were posted on page 719.
Thanks

The one with the red and blue stripes should be the paper for dark shirts. I don't know how to post add on so maybe someone else will put up the instructions. for the dark paper. I made three shirts today and they came out great. I am so pleased with them. The hardest part was deciding what color shirt to print the designs on.

My dear niece also attends GT. Does this offer go for me too? You know it would take a while to get something to her from Illinois.

Yes, of course!

Amen to that! I went today and Old Navy had short sleeve women's shirts. I got 2 white, a black, and a light blue 100% cotton. I also have my red, black, white, and sage green 95% cotton/5% spandex shirts. I'm going to try one on the cotton blend shirts first. If it does ok, I'll use them (they're old and don't fit as well). Then I can return the new ones. If not, I'll be using the ones from ON today.

Do you all think that my Christmas GF shirt would look ok on a black shirt? I'm doing the 4 parks on white, the blue Mickey/Minnie parade on the light blue, the GF on black, and the palm tree Mickey on either red or white.

my apologies to your DH!!!!!

Yes, he has it so rough. He will be happy to know you sympathize with him!

Anybody need a AAA parking pass? We got ours in our AAA package, but are flying and using Disney transportation. I'd be happy to mail it out to you.

Does it expire? We are going in January.

Ellenbenny, cool about Alpharetta. Small world. Let me know if your DS ever needs anything at GT. DH works at the 9th street exit a block from the Varsity.

Thanks for the offer. Fortunately since my brother lives in Roswell he has family that is not too far away. He will be spending Thanksgiving with them, because he doesn't want to come home or he would miss the GT vs Georgia game.

Glad to hear you got the surgery moved up. I hope everyone is feeling better soon, and that everything goes great. DS19 had tubes in his ears twice, but luckily he outgrew the ear infections eventually. Good luck.

 

[Tammi67]

Denise - let me know what size you make your kids design. I need that info too. Tks.

 

[miss missy]

Hi, all! Thanks so much for the sweet comments about my house. Yes, it is pretty clean all the time, Deb. My DH is a Type A clean-a-holic and cleans all the time (I love it!). Ellenbenny, cool about Alpharetta. Small world. Let me know if your DS ever needs anything at GT. DH works at the 9th street exit a block from the Varsity.

Well, we did get the surgery moved to this Thursday, the 17th!~ Yea! So I get to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family.

Bad news, my car died in the carpool line this am and barely made it to the Auto shop. My transmission is shot and it's costing me $3000. Won't have my van back until Wed, so the kids and I are home all day tomorrow. Might as well be productive, right? Got my color cartridge today, the rest of my shirts, and have the transfers. Tomorrow is the day! Going to wash the shirts tonight, print tomorrow am, and then iron tomorrow afternoon.

Kate, what size should I print for the kids (especially the landscape shirts?) Do I have to do a test print for each design or just one? Any other tips? Thanks!

You sure we are related? My car is in the shop today (DUMB DEER!!!) costing me 1000.00, our trips at the same time, clean houses and I ironed 5 shirts today!! I am driving DH pick up a, standard not fun in city traffic!

I HATE DEER !!!!!!!

It says 2005 on it. Anyone know if you can use it later? Or will this not work for DisneyNewbie?

When I did Stephanie's, I just did 2 of hers on one sheet. So about half of an adult size.

A couple of years ago, my kids complained that they never got to go to any of the fun Christmas parties that DH and I do. They would watch me all day long getting appetizers and party food ready to go and they never got to taste them. So, I decided we'd try something new. It's gone over so well, that we do it every year now. We put the tree up on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I spend the day making appetizers (meatballs, Chex mix, cheese balls, clam dip, li'l smokies, hot cider, cocoa, cookies), and we spend the evening with Christmas music, good food, and the kids decorate the tree. They feel like they are getting a "grown up" party and we all have a good time.

Although DS never complained (too young) we started something similar last year. It was still on the warm side when we decorated so we built a fire, turned the a/c down low, and drank hot chocolate and ate kid friendly food and cookies. Same as you and Triplefigs we turn the music on while we eat and decorate. I love it and we'll keep doing it every year.
BTW, my very favorite Christmas music to decorate to is the soundtrack from A Charlie Brown Christmas. As a matter of fact, that's the first CD I play every year. We have a rule of no Christmas until after Thanksgiving, so right after dinner the CD goes in.

Thanks!

You're welcome. These aren't the best photos, but you can kind of see the sizing.

My older daughter, I just used a full sheet:

This sounds like fun! I'm looking forward to putting up our tree this year. My hubby was off today & surprised me by putting up my Christmas lights outside while the weather was nice.

I think I would faint if I came home to my dh putting up the lights without me nagging him . He grumbles every year! LOL

Denise glad the surgery got moved up. Sorry about your car.

No kidding! DH is helpful in many ways, but this isn't one of them.

Ok - Guess what? I'm going to need a couple more t-shirts!!! You all know hunka hunka and what a great guy he is, well - since I got so sick on our last trip to WDW last month, he's taking me back for my birthday!!!! What a great guy!! My dad has agreed to come up to watch Matt so he doesn't miss any school and Paul and I will go by ourselves. GASP! An adult only trip - boy Matt's going to be mad when he finds out!

So we're heading to WDW Jan. 22-25, 2006. Yippeeeeeeee
