***Disney Design Addict's Chit Chat,Designs and Pixie Dust! Everybody WELCOME!*** Part 4

[Glynis]

Hey everyone, I'm just checking in after the big Turkey day. It sounds like you all had a wonderful holiday. I'm so surprised that mine was as wonderful as it turned out to be. I hosted my parents, and luckily everything turned out so well. The turkey was done to perfection, and everything else looked good, too. I wasn't able to eat anything but the turkey and gravy, so I just had to admire the rest of the food from afar. I did have a bite of a low carb pumpkin pie that was good, but much too rich for my body right now, so I stopped after one bite. The best news is that I stepped on the scale the next morning and saw that I was down another 2 pounds!!!!! My official count as of today is 30 pounds lost in just under 4 weeks! I told DH that I'm probably the only person I know who could weigh in the day after Thanksgiving, and be 2 pounds lighter. That made it all worthwhile!

I couldn't do any BF shopping this year. DH had to work, so I had to stay with the kids. Luckily, DH is a photographer for a news station, and was sent to a couple of stores. He was able to pick up 2 DVD players, a tool set he's been wanting, and a steam cleaner with a free carpet sweeper. All in all, not a bad day.

I've missed chatting with everyone!

Karebear1 - congrats on your milestone! That is so cool!!!!!!

I hope everyone that is traveling home this weekend is safe, and for those heading out to the World, have a wonderful time, and come back to report to us! Don't forget a detail!

Thanks for the lead in Legalslave! I wanted to post the actual number and now I've come back to Edit with color and everything! How fun ! I didn't think I'd EVER get a chance to be a big post # thread. Kate and Denise hogging all the numbers to themselves!

Congradulations. I loved the conversation you were having with yourself.

It's been so long since I wore anything that wasn't elasticized, that I really don't know what size I was to begin with, let alone what size I am now. I can tell a difference in my face and my upper body. DH says he can see a tremendous difference, too. My jeans are getting quite loose which is really exciting. Looks like I'll be getting some clothes for Christmas. Only problem is I don't want to spend a bunch of money on clothes I'll only wear for a short time! Looks like I'll be thrift store shopping.

By the way, DH wants to do something HUGE for our anniversary this coming May. I suggested a trip to WDW with our closest couple friends. None of us has ever been, but DH can get tickets through his work, and we have tons of frequent flyer miles accumulated, so it looks like I've got my work cut out for me.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get started planning? Remember I'm a newbie to WDW. I could lead you all around DL blindfolded, but I'm at a loss here. I'm open to all suggestions. I bought a notebook today to start taking notes in, so bring it on people. I need help!!!!!

Glynis Congrats on your weight loss. Are you doing strictly low carb? Is this your first attempt? I did it lost and resumed old bad habits. ARGH! Looking to begin again. Anyways where are your other designs. I am planning my first trip to WDW in Feb with kids and dad and would love to make some shirts. Thanks for your help. Best of luck on your new life!

I actually had gastric bypass surgery on Halloween. It was tough, but it's smoothing out, now.

I'm not one of the designers, but I'm sure the others on this board will be able to point you in the right direction. I like to rely on the generosity of others on this board. I've made shirts that others designed for me. The men and women on this board are the most generous and caring people you'll ever find. Welcome to our DDA family; jump in and join us!

On our own board! (Theme Parks ... --> Homemade WDW T-shirts --> tink2020's designs)

Glynis, Congrats on the weight loss. Cheering for you every day.

Tink2020, love the tink design, looks almost like the design that is on the watch I was able to buy at POFQ.

Went to Chuckey Cheese to help celebrate Steffy's grandson's 2nd birthday. I have to admit it was my first time there. One thing I can say is that at least you can leave and someone else cleans up for you

Had to check out Bath and Body. Got some goodies to take care of my feet and spent enough to buy the soft robe. I am sitting here with it on and am in heaven.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone

 

[tinker1bell]

snip I need help!!!!!

Glynis, first decide what you want to see as in attractions because only you can know. There are plenty of sites that you can check out.
Rest assured that any of us can tell you our favorites and we will all offer to be your trip guru.

 

[miss missy]

I think you did a better job adding yourself to the picture than Regis & Kelly did! They definitely look photoshopped! BTW, love your shirts!!

Thanks!!!

 

[miss missy]

Ok, here are the transfers with the shirts they'll go on. I'll iron later. Any suggestions for trimming around the designs?

Arrival Night: CM dinner (BK in Minnie Costume)

Hi, everyone! We're home for another 56 hours! Trip was great. My brother and SIL gave us our present early. A mini DVD camcorder! OMG! I cried. It is so awesome.

AND... I just opened the most unbelievable care package from the Queen herself! The kids nearly died. They LOVED it all. They have their totes packed with all the stuff. I cannot believe you did all that for me. The card with the LAMINATED clip board (complete with list), the ornaments, the coloring books and pens, the clip on card games, the big book (and my paper-thank you). You are undeniably the sweetest, most generous person. Guess I need to start an I worship Kate thread. And of course I cried when I saw how much trouble and effort and LOVE went into making it all for us.

Tink2020, hope DH is feeling better.
Bengalbelle, whew! Close.
Glynis, you go girl. 30 pounds is awesome.
Miss Missy, shirts look great!

Glad everyone else had a tremendous holiday and successful BF. DH and I went and got some more t-shirts and the kids that V-tech pocket game system with 6 games. Anyone have that for their kids?

Glad to be back. I can't believe we go on Tuesday am!
