FINISHED!! Thanks for Playing!! ~ Paint Can Partner Swap Disney Theme

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I'm back from WDW (what a great trip!!!!!) and ready to get caught up on this. I have a short week at work this week (yesterday and today!) and I'm off until Monday so I'm going to get my titles and lyrics done and hopefully the can too and maybe even the new challenge that you'll post on Friday!

I've been having a ton of fun with this swap! This past weekend was completely open for me so I spent a lot of time creating items for this swap and the MK swap. I've made Lisa a few bonus pieces since I was feeling extra crafty

I almost have the paint can finished. I just need to work on the lid and pick up the paint can key- I forgot that when I grabbed the can...works out though, it forces me to pick up primer (since I'll be in home depot. in the paint aisle. no more avoiding.) so I can finally paint the bedroom in our lower level. The previous owner sure liked dark colors- going from dark brown to light blue- and hopefully my future scrap area!

It sure was beautiful weather in Florida this week (I check everyday. ha) Welcome back, DisneyIsTerrific!

I am off to work! woo to the hoo.

So how is everyone doing??

Making progress? a new friend?

Sheila- been super busy around here. Tomorrow is my last day at my job!! Been trying to get orders out. Need some more though. Trying to plan a surprise vegas trip for us adults, and DD's 6th bday party. which went from a cupcake theme to a full blown Mad Hatter-esque party. Not sure how that happened.

I am working on some titles. I think I have my lyrics i just need to double check. I am in the process of switching computers but working between them is kinda crazy!!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Hi Rachal. We've been busy, too. January used to be a slow month for us, but with 2 kids on 2 different academic teams, we've had tournaments 3 out of the 4 wkends. We have one more this Saturday and then we'll have a couple of weeks off. In addition, I've had a bad cold I just couldn't kick. I'm finally feeling better and need to get caught up with my cleaning and scrapping. I'm hoping for a more productive month than Jan.

I'm finishing up the titles right now. I have a pretty good plan for the lyrics, so they shouldn't take long. Hope to be caught up by Friday afternoon and ready for the new challenge.

How's everyone else doing? Are you finding it easy to come up with ideas? It's be surprisingly easy for me so far, and a lot of fun! It's going to be so exciting to see our goodies when the swap is over!!

Yay I love bonus surprises!!! might be some in your can too
good luck with the painting!
I'm still struggling with my cold...is moving down into my chest so taking it easy today, did go to pilates and that was probably a mistake, finished the class but was beat!

hope you are feeling better, cold's suck all the energy out of me!
good luck to your kids on their next tournaments!!

Stephanie - glad to hear you had a great trip!!

Rachal - I'd definitely be interested! Seems like everyone od really enjoying themselves and maybe would want to do it again also! I'd love any theme!

I too have some extra goodies for my partner...just for fun!

Sheila - I am finding it fairly easy to do...I think because I am able to focus on one person's likes and personality. It's much easier to come up with something to fit one person than in a regular swap where your stuff needs to be general enough for several people!

Stephanie, I'm glad you had a great trip. Did your son's GF have a good b-day?

Welcome back Stephanie....how did the bday surprise go for DS's GF???

DS's GF was so surprised when she got back to the room the first night and the window was decorated in dinosaur's in Mickey hats. We had a little dinosaur party and then I gave her the scrapbook. She was thrilled and I got a huge hug. She had a fantastic birthday before we even left for Disney and then a great time at WDW and then her Mom surprised her with a car when we got back!!!! She will definitely remember her 17th birthday.

Lisa, hope you feel better soon! Being sick is no fun! Cold's pretty much sap all my energy, too. I still feel like I could sleep for about 24 hrs straight.

Thanks for the good wishes! We will need them. My DD's high school team is playing in the state tournament. It's going to be a tough one to win. We are capable of doing it. It all depends on the types of questions. I'm already starting to get a little nervous. So send some pixie dust our way!

Wow!! Sounds like she had a terrific b-day!

 

[Arizona Rita]

Hey Stephanie! Welcome back! Glad to hear everything went so well!
That will make for alot of memories for her! And a car!

Speaking of memories I have one fun, one semi serious and the third lyric/quote Im stuck on!
What is your favorite land/area in each of the parks? Is there any one thing from this trip that you particulary want to work on?
I have only one topper left to do, so we are good there.

UPDATE:
We had some issues with a situation come up at the preschool that Im only supposed to be a sub at and right now am working full time but I think Im able to stay on top of everything.

thanks, I wish I could sleep...was awake half the night coughing, hope tonight will be better!

Wow they must be a great team to go to state....sending LOTS of pixie dust and their way!


Rita - just think of the extra hours as a deposit on a trip to Disney!!!

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Shelia- I know how kids activities can get in the way!! its always something over here. mostly dance and that's picking up again!!

Today was my last day at work. Need to finish up some orders and get them out by friday. thats the goal anyways. and work on this swap and hopefully saturday head out and get my can. I figured I would just wait and go all by myself. Ya!! Me time!!

Ohhh and our offer was finally accepted on a house! we close on April 3. cant wait! will be less than 2 miles from my fave LSS!!! ohhh not gonna be good on the pocketbook.

 

[LaWannaYeager]

Ok Erin I am back now. I am getting started on everything tomorrow. I did find out some good news while I was at the trade show. Provo craft is only a week away from having the update that will allow the gypsy to connect with the craft room and share content and also connect with the new mini.

Good luck with the extra hours! But, like Lisa said, the extra $$ will be fun for Disney!!!!!

My favorite land/area in each park is:
MK - Fantasyland - especially Philharmagic & Pooh
Epcot - United Kingdom
DHS - Animation Studio
AK - Asia - specifically the tigers at the Maharajah Jungle Trek

As for this trip, not sure when I'll scrap it as I really want to get DS's graduation trip done first. But, for this trip, my first focus will be DS's GF's birthday party while we were there so that would be dinosaurs for the party and 'Ohanas for her birthday breakfast.

Is there anything specific you know you could use for your upcoming trip or for past trips? I'm going to be working on this over the next few days so that I can be caught up which will make it easier to stay caught up!

what a fun birthday for her!

Lisa, I had a lot of trouble sleeping, too. Hopefully you'll feel better tonight.

They are pretty good. We have 130 teams in our class and only 8 made it to state, so I'm a pretty proud mom!

My girls are also in dance -- 5 classes on 3 different days. Plus my youngest 2 play sports (basketball is finishing up now, and then we will start baseball and softball in a few weeks), academic teams, 4-H, and youth group activities at church. We stay pretty busy!!

Congrats on the new house!! How exciting for you guys!

Glad you got some sleep last night!! We are on the go a lot. That's why I only work a couple of days a week. There's no way I could keep up if I had to work 40+ hrs.

Yup we have that here too. Not so bad now but where we are moving too is about 15 mins away. so will take about 20 to get to class. that and the last 2 months of school I will have to bring them back in town and pick them up.
