Not only am I in a post trip funk (as is our weather!!) I just returned from the doctor and I have pneumonia. Talk about painful! I will never complain again about breathing...

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Marti I hope that you are feeling better soon too. I have the sore throat and cold thing starting. I guess that I should have expected it as It was in the 90's in Florida and we got snow yesterday here. How can a body adapt to that?

Hi...someone asked me for the directions to make the shirts in my sig so here they are: (sorry if they've been posted on this thread already)

I think this was from the Family Fun magazine.

Supplies:
Squirt bottle (I used an almost empty glue bottle and just cleaned it out)
Flour
Water
Spray fabric paint

Mix the flour and water until it is the consistency of mustard and pour into bottle. Squeeze onto the shirt in whatever pattern you desire. Lay the shirt in the sun to dry. After the mixture has hardened completely spray with fabric paint then lay the shirt in the sun for paint to dry. When the paint has completely dried slowly peel away the flour/water mixture to reveal the pattern below.

I did this on a hot day at the end of September and by the evening we had all 7 shirts ready to go. I even added spray glitter for fabric after we peeled the flour mixture off. We got lots of comments from CMs and guests alike. The CM on the boat to and from Tom Sawyer Island loved them...he said, "OOOOHHHH I love those!!! I read about them in Family Fun and have been dying to make one!!!" I hope he did because they're so easy and fun and you just can't mess them up!

The magazine had a sunburst pattern I believe. We just wanted to make it more Disney-ish and decided to use Mickey's head. I just swirled the mixture around and around with some being straight and others being at angles. Little did I realize that DisneyQuest has that same pattern on the "Q" and the folders that you get your Photopass pictures in also have Mickey's head in that same swirl pattern. Pretty neat!!!

I've got to try this! Your family looks great. Such great smiles!

Welcome home PNO4TE! Glad you're back!

Here's a better picture:

Those are fantastic! I think I may do a pattern for Christmas and use red and green paint. I saw that in Family Fun and have wanted to try it out. Great shirts and very handsome family! Which fabric paint did you use? The colors are so vibrant.

BTW, is this picture with Belle in the garden by France? Was the Beast there too?

I started downloading photos off my camera and I took over 400. It is going to take forever to get rid of all the red eye. The 2 yr old has red eye in virtually every picture. Anyway here are a couple of us in our tie dye shirts. We wore these on 2 different days and they had been washed before this photo. They washed very well, no fading or cracking.

The second picture was taken at the Shooting Arcade in Frontierland. We were walking out of the Country Store when a CM asked my 2 older boys to be part of the Shootout at high noon. They each got to shoot 25 times and each hit 15 targets. They each got a Magical Moments certificate, a badge (he gave the little guy one too) and he gave our family a fast pass to any ride in the park. We chose to use it on Buzz again.
I told you our trip was filled with Magical Moments. We were also given a Magical Moments certificate later that evening in Downtown Disney. Two CM's loved our shirts and presented us with a certificate for making our own magic. Very cool.

Edited to add: Here is a photo of the little guy with a tie dye face to match. You can also see the writing on the shirt.

Awesome shirts! They really look wonderful. Love all the Mickeys!

Oh - Marti - I feel your pain!!

I had pneumonia a couple of years ago and it took a long time to feel normal again!! DH and I were out of town and I had a 104 fever and he took me to the hospital - I have never been so afraid of dying - there were times I just couldn't breathe! Plus my kids were home and I was so afraid they had it too!! If you want to see an inchoherent crazy woman!! Steve said I was actually delirious with the fever and really scared him! Of course it didn't help that the hospital took 3 hours to give me motrin for the fever - once they did - I was much better

I hope you are better soon and will sending you tons of

Hey,
I've been toying around with a design to put on a magnetic sheet for our room door or to put in the window. These could also be shirts, but I may have more shirts that my life expectancy if I keep it up!
Disclaimer: I am not Kate, Denise, Ladylucca or any other of these talented people. These images are blurry in spots and I could definitely use tips on how to clean them up.

With that said, which one do you like better?

OR

Please be kind!! I'm just trying to entertain myself, because I still have 39 days to go and I'm much too bouncy. Sorry the second one is so big. Still working this out!

Hope you don't mind I played with your design a little. You could still add the Disney people.

 

[Good Ol Gal]

the four parks is my FAVorite design of them all!!

Play all you want to! That looks so great! I like the Disney people, but I couldn't get them not to be blurry. Could you change the Hamricks just to Hamrick? I love this design! Thank you so much! I have ideas, but I can't seem to make them "happen" in the computer. As my son would say, "You so rock!"

Just hit refresh on your computer and you'll see the corrected design. Glad you like it. I think it would look good either small on the pocket area of a shirt or on the back. You could use your other one on the front.

Wow, I wish life had a refresh button! That's a good idea about using one design on the front and one on the back. Less shirts! I may take the Multigenerational Reunion off so we could use the design on a different shirt for our summer trip. Commando would have to come off too, to balance it. Thanks again. I just love it.

Just let me know what you want it to say on each side.
