FE group - March 4th - 9th 2012 Dream DD

Fredgirls- I love the visual graph!!! Totally my style

I have all of the kids gifts bought(I managed to score some really good deals on some cool stuff for the kids!).

I am making the adult gift so I was waiting to do this until we had a final count. Actually, that's not entirely true. I am a total procrastinator and will probably be making them the week before the cruise

I am also a procrastinator...just started my "ideas". I also love the graph Just informed my husband he has work to do

 

[Jenene]

Love the graph too! I am gathering ideas, so glad to be involved. Thanks Anita for organizing it!

 

[radartracker]

Love your graph! Your woman after my own heart. I spent most of the day yesterday on the net collecting ideas and think I got the plan.
I even bought through estsy a pillow for my son to have autographed and a one pocket fish extender. There are some creative people out there and beautiful works!
I love the planning process of the trip and the FE really makes this fun as well.
By the way we are also at CE the night before and have 11am check in too!

 

[fredgirls]

Graph updated
I'll do it again on the 9th and then that will be it!

I found the Homemade FE thread to be an amazing inspiration. I love crafty projects, but never made anything I would actually give to other people!
There were so many doable projects there and something for every skill level and budget.

There'll probably be a number of us there at 11. and even a few at CI. As I said way back when I joined, this board seems to bring out my alter ego!:good vibes In real life I am pretty shy and when we're out as a family we're pretty much self-contained So I can't imagine I'll be asking any strangers who they are! And certainly won't be asking them to show me their fish extenders
People often say my husband and I are the life and soul of the party but honestly we're both good actors! We'd much rather be home playing bananagrams! Sad but true!

Don't be afraid to approach though. We're nice folk Just cringing on the inside with shyness!
And I look just like my avatar. Apart from the round belly isn't blue.

I was wondering how we would know who was a disboard er when we get on. Let me just say.... I will be the lady who have three very active children. Youngest with down syndrome, so she will be the first to run up to you Anita and pull you right out of any shyness you may want to keep
I will be the mom who is trying to keep my other daughter from asking you very personal questions (she my daughter with autism )
So believe it or not... you will smile when you do see our family... because you will say... OH Yeah, she warned us!

I was a paediatric nurse before the stay-at-home me, so kids are my comfort zone! It's just grown-ups I have trouble with!
I can't wait to meet your lively family

How about this as a magnet to put on our doors if you want to. Just as a recognition of participation. We can each print our own at home.
Doesn't have to be this design. Just playing around.

(magnet didn't work out clear enough to enlarge - see later post for another one)

I like it !!! Now, how do I get it in full size? You'd think I would know how to do this as I've been a magnet printing fool lately. Thanks to the Dissigners, they are GREAT. I wish I had their talent. I'm also printing out a cruise journal for Rogan. I'd like to do one for Evie also but I might have to tweak it a little since she's only 3.

Don't worry about it My cousin has 2 with autism. We are currently trying to get a diagnosis on our youngest Evie,which is hard to do without insurance She has trouble socializing and will be the little one that will probably be constantly pinching her neck(which is what she does when she feels overstimulated. If you try to talk to her she will look at me and say "I do not want to talk to her" Last vacation all her pictures with the princesses she was pinching away I'ts all good...never a dull moment.

Hmm. I'm not too savvy in that department myself!
This is my album. Maybe you can save it from there?

I've been working on a journal myself and really enjoying it. And actually managed to keep it a secret from the girls which is good for me! Some of the pages are in my photo bucket account too. My favourite page is the first one for the journey.

Hmm, looks like this doesn't blow up bigger very well. Might have to go back to the drawing board so to speak

What about this?

 

[lisagirl88]

Love the magnet!!! Since I am technically challenged I will probably need a walk through once I go to print it

fredgirls- Wanted to let you know that you can remove Tom(poppop) and Sue(mommom) from the FE exchange. They are still traveling with us(lisagirl88), but do not wish to participate in the exchange. Our FE will either be hanging on either 7054 or 7056 for the 6 of us!!!

Anita- THANK YOU so much for keeping us organized!!!!!

 

[breakingd_awn]

Thanks fredgirls

 

[Jenene]

I love it! I just right clicked it, emailed it to myself and printed on photo paper and it looks great. Now I think just put it on magnetic type backing and oooh, we are so cool too!
Thanks Anita!

Great! Glad it worked! I didn't think about right click

I was going to try and find magnetic paper but have a feeling it's going to be pricey! Your way sounds a great alternative!

 

[radartracker]

you did a super job, love it!

 

[radartracker]

I love the magnet

 

[fredgirls]
