I don't know what you are talking about - the link is in there!!!

Thanks!!!! I have another stupid question, I am doing this at work on our really awesome corel-draw design stuff. I can make a poster that is out of this world but all I have here is a laser printer Do they make any transfer paper that wouldnt melt into this thing and get me into trouble? I dont have an inkjet around and at home i am (of course) out of ink since I never use it.

So you don't risk damaging your work printer email the design to yourself and open it at home and print it. I had to break down and buy some ink at home so I didn't get caught at work.

I can't Freaking believe it. We leave in less then 24 hours, my wife goes to see the Dr. and she has broncitas and possible could come down with Pnumonia. What the F to do?

Doctor recomends canceling the trip.

Back in college I got Walking Pnumonia 2 days before leaving for Florida for Spring Break. The Dr gave me Cipro and some other stuff and said go- the warm weather was just what I needed to help clear it out!!! Just bring lots of tissue and try to schedule a little down time back at your hotel each afternoon for a nap.

Has anyone tried putting the designs on sweatshirts yet? I am already thinking ahead to our trip next December and would like to make a couple of Christmas sweatshirts for my in-laws to give them this Christmas since they are coming with us next year.

I am putting together a whole Disney Travel package for them since MIL is an even more psychotic planner than me (and I didn't think that was possible ) I brought back park maps for all the parks, the 2006 Birmbaum book for the parks and guide to dining. Anyone else have any ideas what to put in this for them?

I have used the light transfer paper on Hanes 50/50 sweatshirts in the past. Everything worked out fine, and the transfer has held up very well. Be a little extra careful with the heat...don't go for too long. Also, the shirt may look like it change color where heated, but it will be fine once it cools down (as long as it isn't actually scorched or melted).

If she is a psychotic planner, she may really like the Passporter. There are places to write information/ADR's/etc. as well as pockets in the book to hold things.

Which transfer paper did you use? I have been using the Avery which has held up well through a couple of washes now (except on my t shirts that had a little stretch to them- the designs started to crack a little on those)

Ok, I'm finally caught up again. I spent the last 3 hours outside starting to put up my Christmas Decorations. It usually takes me 12 hours or so to get all of the outside decorations up. You should see my electric bill for December. Yikes. Some cute new designs.
Macntosh. How does your wife feel overall. The plane ride would probably be the worst and you'd have to do most of the work with your daughter and wife to tend to. You've been looking forward to it for so long. Maybe she will respond quickly to the meds and feel fine tomorrow.

I am almost positive it was Avery paper....just went to look...it is Avery 3271.

I made my dd and her friends llama shirts (don't ask!). It is almost a year old. She wears it for pajamas now, and it's washed about once a week. It still looks great.

My mom broke a wooden spoon over my butt when I was about 10 or so.

My mom broken a wodden paddle, and she said it didn't even faze me.
Its nice to have such a padded behind.

Kate - I love the new designs.


Mac - Keep us updated please. We are all praying that you can still make you trip and your wife gets well soon. Like a previous poster said, the worst part would be flying. Can you postpone it by a week or so? I would say go and if she feels that bad she can stay in the room and rest, but if it were me, I would not want to miss my daughter seeing the World for the first time (it is her first time, isn't it?). On the other hand, of course a doctor is going to tell you to postpone. It's that whole "liability" thing. If he says "yeah, go on, go" and something happens, then.....lawsuit! You all know what is best.

Wow. I was gone with DS(1) who was in the hospital. And not only am I behind but the thread moved again! I'm only on 676. I love the new Heffalump Christmas designs and the Candlelight Processional one. I can hardly wait 2 years til we go at Christmastime. I could use a vacation right now. I hardly slept the whole time I was in the hospital with my sweetie. I just hope we don't have to go back.
Brendita: I'm so sorry your DH didn't improve. I noticed you live in OR, I live in the Portland area if you live nearby and ever need someone to have coffee and vent with. I'm a good listener. I'll send prayers and PD your way especially for your son.
Triplefigs: The designs with your kids look great. Hopefully you guys get a lot of attention at WDW.

I am going to try to post the shirt I made (ironed on) for my son to wear to school and one shirt I ironed on for our upcoming trip. I am new to this so I hope the pics won't be too large.

Thank you for the vader mickey. Sorry I don't remember who to give credit too.

I used avery brand transfer paper for light shirts , HP printer and ironed it right on my ironing board. I am waiting for my tshirt order to arrive to make more.

My husband wants to know if I plan to make a tshirt for every occasion Of course I said yes.

Just back from the ENT. Well, she ended up seeing all 3 of the kids. Bottom line is they are all three having surgery on 11/23 (day before Thanksgiving) at noon. Having to cancel our Thanksgiving trip to see my family. She said they had to have new tubes and drain their ears or no flying. All three kids have horrible ear infections. They will take the tube out of the ear on Davis that has the perforation and hope it heals. Then replace that tube at a later date.

So, now I'm totally stressed, have like 15 shirt requests in my PM box, don't know when I'm going to have time to do stuff... Just a little pity party at the moment, but I am going to have to NIX all shirt requests until after the surgery and trip.

Anyone want to have my UFO designs and help with all my PM requests? Pretty much will entail putting ornaments on trees and personalizing them.

Thanks for the good wishes.

I say go. Bring her meds and go. Rest in the afternoon and keep the walking at a slow pace. The weather should be warm and that will be good for her. Still a hard decision to make sending your way.

 

[Brendita]

Triplefigs senting a bunch of pixie dust, hugs, & prayers.
Hope all the little ones get better some.
