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

[triplefigs]

triplefigs, glad everything worked out for you because I was looking forward to meeting you

Me too! My DH is going to be so surprised when I "know" people at WDW!

Kate, if it makes you feel any better, my "baby girl" turned 42 last week. It's 42 years of memories, and she had three babies of her own, which makes even more memories. As life goes on, it keeps on giving.

Now, don't everyone get too hopped up on Diet Coke and posting too much. I'm flying down to Norfolk tomorrow evening and then will board the MS Maasdam for a 10 night Caribbean cruise with my "baby girl" and my 37 year old "baby boy." Two other couples are sailing with us, too. That should help pass the time until my Disney trip in December (just 4 weeks after we get back). Keep the board going for me while I'm gone, but don't be TOO prolific!!!

you know - I tried to ask everyone to stop posting while I was gone and in ONE day they posted TEN - yes I said TEN pages!!! and I have to confess I haven't caught up on them!!!!!

Thanks for all your kind words - I don't know why I am in such a funk but you guys all made it seem a little better!!! That is what I love about you all - it is nice to know I am not nuts for being sad about Julia turning 4!!!

Kate, I feel your pain. Ah kids......

My bouncing baby boy is 35+. I really have to get out a calculator to figure out how old he is. It was just yesterday when he called me and told me "Mom, you have to stop saying you're only 39 like Jack Benny. I'm turning 30. You can no longer be 39."

So I told him, "Okay, why don't you turn 21 again!" Alas, it was not to be. My baby girl is 30 something.

Back OT, I've got to call my Dad and ask him what size t-shirt he and his wife are. I have to make him the shirt that says Even Mickey loves Tampa Bay. And his wife, Even Mickey loves the Eagles.

As far as the post Disney depression, the best thing for that is to plan another trip!!! What I need is a date!!!!

My favorite time to go is early May, but I don't know how it will go over to take my DGD out of school for a week so close to the end of school....

Oh well. nitey nite DDAs......

I hope someone can help me with his. I just started to print my designs on the transfers. I'm using Printmaster and HP transfers. First, I looked at the design in the Preview mode, and everything looked OK. Second, I printed a test page in economy mode, and it looked OK too. Finally I got my transfer, printed it in the highest photo quality my printer could get, but then the last 1/2 inch (more or less) of the design wasn't printed. I printed a different design and the same thing happened. Now I have 2 transfers less, and still no shirts!! What am I doing wrong?

Wonder what all the DDAers are doing at WDW right now? Pick a DDA and guess what they're doing. I'll start:

Marti and Paul: the hunka burning love is with his lovely DW and DS and they are dressed up for MNSSHP. He's wearing his Cindy shirt, they are laughing and playing and having a fabulous time. They've eaten steak for dinner, had a few beers, and are hunting down DDA shirts on the streets!

NEXT!

BINGO...

Just got in from airport, reading some posts and then hitting they hey. Will post more about our trip and post some pics on Wed.

Is it possible that when you printed in photo mode it created a border? I don't know, just guessing. Good luck. The finished product is so worth the pain. Take it from someone who ruined a bunch of transfers!!!!

Maybe that's the problem. What I did is that I resized my designs and made them 1/2 inch smaller from the bottom and now I'm printing them OK. I have no idea of what's the reason, but this solved the problem. Now I'm 3 transfers short, one already missing from the beginning, and 2 that I ruined! I'll have to buy some more tomorrow. I find them quite expensive here in Mexico. They're like $22 usd for 12 light HP transfers, couldn't find dark transfers here. How much are these in the U.S.?

The light ones are not too expensive. Can't remember the price of them. The dark transfers sheets are like $10.00 for 5 sheets at Wal-Mart. The E-bay paper is great and a lot cheaper if you can buy it from e-bay. Good luck with your shirts. I have not started mine yet.

I have been painting all day and want to show you what I have come up with. Be easy on me because it isn't done I still have some embellishments to add to it.

Angela it's beautiful

Cajun princess - glad you like my designs... I am working on a matching bride and groom set - I'll post when they're done

Seeing if this works

Nope, didn't work - how do people posts links and get around needing password?

When you load your photos into photobucket you should see a list of three links under your image - copy and paste the bottom one (img) into your post and then your image will appear here. If you want us to click on a link to see it (good for massive images) then copy and paste the URL text from under the image. Hope this helps

Kate I hope you're feeling more today. Just think of all the wonderful new things you can share with Julia now she's getting older. And if you need a countdown why not get one for Christmas? It's something to look forward to afterall

Wow you guys were quiet last night - I've run out of messages to read and I'm only half way through my rice crispies!

My eldest DS is 12 and the younger about to turn 6. DH went through a phase of saying we should have another one and maybe get a girl - well I would have maybe been up for that a couple of years ago, but now I've turned 20 for the second time (do the math!) I'm worried about being too old. Also, we are now financially straight and having enjoyed our WDW holiday AND a lovely trip to the south of France I want more holidays!! WDW was the first long-haul flight since our honeymoon (in fact our first holiday outside Europe since then too!) and I've really got the taste for travel!

Maybe its his mid-life crisis? Having said that I've been belatedly sorting out photos and seeing those chubby little arms and legs...well.........

Leaving in 4 hours , can't sleep, wonder why?.........

She is adorable. I know how you feel as I have two teenage boys and a 5-year-old. I get teary eyed every year when they go back to school after the summer and also at birthdays. It seems like just yesterday I brought them home from the hospital. My DH says you have to let them grow up but it is sooo hard to let go. You have many more years to go yet. My oldest will graduate next year and I just can't stand the thought. My youngest will be 5 tomorrow.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JULIE.

 

[triplefigs]

Happy Birthday, Julia! You are a beautiful little girl. Have a wonderful day!

She is so beautiful.
My one and only is 6-1/2 and it breaks my heart that she is growing up. DH says we should have another one.
