[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Wow - busy busy!! Here too...guess that's part of the mommy package, huh?! LOL One day we will be bored!

Rachal - congrats on the house!!! That's awesome news!

Lisa and Sheila - glad things are getting healthier!

LaWanna - Welcome back!! Missed you! Ok...spill it! What is coming out to play soon??? Fun stuff??? Every LSS within 80 miles of me has closed and my AC Moore stinks. So, I usually have to order or REALLY travel. So, I need a heads up when it's a good time to go!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

LaWanna - just wanted to update you...in case you needed other ideas...

I just finished uploading my pix from our last trip. I have tons of Halloween pictures (since there were two trips in two years). And I see I have quite a few Alice, Hatter and White Rabbit pix. We always do the 1900 Park Faire breakfast since Alice and the Hatter are family favs. So, that along with seeing them in the park, tons of photos! I love the Nightmare theming like you (even though we don't get the actual characters in the park like in DL) also. Hope that helps! If you don't need it, great...just wanted to let you know what I had on my HUGE snapfish order! I should own stock in that company! Ugh!!!!

:Hey Stephanie,
Ok is there anything in particular about DS grad trip that I should keep in mind? Just looking for ideas. You are so talented and Ive always loved your work and I just hope this is, imo, good enough for my friend!

Ok, you asked, and this is on my bucket swap dream list, I have always wanted a set or even a couple or one of those international Mickey heads that rep each country. But I suck at the cricut and have never made them for myself. And do you remember when you made me my mice? LOVED those!

Ladies, as for the extra money for a disney trip, registration cost for next year for DD AND dorm room reg both came due at the exact same time!
So as Dory says "Just keep swimming (working!)!"

Getting excited for the next challenge!!!

I'm glad someone is

This has been a busy, busy week! Lot's going on with school and the kids - fun but time consuming! Just sent my kids out the door with a 2 layer banana cake and a jello salad for tonight's band dinner.

Looking forward to working on this over the weekend!

 

[Arizona Rita]

OK! Love this one !

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

You are totally on top of it! It's awesome waking up on the east coast and the west coast has already updated!! Woohoo!!! What an awesome hostess! This one is interesting...don't work with these too much, but the examples are great! I actually think I'm going to try to go more detailed like the last set!!! LOL Let's see how that turns out!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Rita, thanks for an idea of something you can use. Anything else you really want? Or something on a Cricut cartridge (like the Mice) that you want?

As for DS's graduation trip, we were there 10 days so did everything! Besides the normal Disney themes, I know I will be doing pages in the following themes:
Mickey & Minnie (DS & his GF got Mickey & Minnie mouse ears).
Star Wars - it was Star Wars weekends both weekends we were there.
The movie "Up" as DS and his GF got the talking stuffed dog, Dug, from the movie and took turns taking care of him.
Living Seas (fishy stuff) as we got to have a behind the scenes tour of that!
Disney Quest - we spent a day there.
American Idol as DS's GF made it to the finale so she was in 2 shows that day and I have awesome pictures of her performing and of her after the show with little kids asking for her autograph.
RideMakerZ - remote control cars - DH and I both built our own remote control cars and on a few evenings we took them for a run around the lake at the hotel

Don't think you have to do any of those. I also can use lots of just Disney regular Disney stuff and park related stuff. Those are just the different things we did. And, I know I will love whatever you make!!! You are awesome!!!!!!!

I'm off to go work on things for your bucket now!

 

[ckmom97]

Rachal, you are on top of things this week. I've never made these, so it will be a challenge for me. I'm going to have to put a little thought into these.

Very rarely am I these days, but hoping it gets better! Sounds busy. We dont get to send home made anything to school so that always helps when you just buy it.

OK! Love this one !

I spent more time looking for good examples than anything else last night. Cant wait to see how they turn out!

They are pretty simple and fun. Now to decide what to do.

 

[mommy2mrb]

these will be fun!


Stephanie, how awesome she went to the finals! hope you got her autograph too!

That made it a lot easier for me. I have toppers designed on craftroom, waiting to be cut and quotes/lyrics looked up.
The hard part is getting all the pictures printed out with out breaking you. I am so behind I am getting ready to start on our trip to Disneyland for the 50th anniversary (yes 2005). I have smaller trips that were taken after that one already done. It took me forever to print out all of the 2005 trip because there were so many pictures.

 

[LaWannaYeager]

The last examples were so cute. I really like to do inches.

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Hi all!!

Been a super busy first Saturday without a job!!! Spent the whole day with my boys. the girls went to my sisters for the night after the party. Spent the day running errands, picking up paper to do the Disney Cruise Wedding album, going with a pastel theme. I dont have enough time to order anything so have to make everything I want, hit a couple of stores for some items. Upgraded our phones for our V-day gifts, DBF finds technology romantic. DBF bought me the B is for Boy cartridge today!! Then spent 2 hours at Lowes pricing out the upgrades for the house. We have a plan for just about everything. Now to get the bids together and get it all in place.

I am headed downstairs to work on all kinds of things I am on my second mocha for the day this time with 3 shots

Hope everyone is doing good on challenges.

 

[mommy2mrb]

Rachal, good luck getting all your wish lists together for the house! what fun you are going to have!
yay for the new cart and about technology being romantic

I've got ideas floating around my head for my inchies, hope to start them Tuesday!

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Thanks Lisa, think I have it all picked out. Need to get it in a binder keep it all straight. Got paint, floors, appliances, few light fixtures picked out. Can't wait to get started. Still need to put a few items on the list to price out. And figure out how to get the ugly wall paper down. I do think my new steam mop will come in handy

dd#2's bday is 2/25 if you ladies would like to come

congrats on the house, Rachel! have you heard of pinterest? it's dangerous for house ownership...i am constantly pinning ideas and sharing them with poor DH...

I am almost finished one set of twinchies brainstorming the second one...

I am hoping to work on these tonight and on the MK swap but I am just pooped today. I went to the Nick Carter (from the backstreet boys haha) concert last night with girlfriends and am just exhausted! not used to staying up past 10 anymore!! One nap down and hoping that's enough!

Between these swaps and last night, I have sooo enjoyed the breaks from reality. I'd love if my disney friends could send some P&PD my way, the fam is in need of it. I have 2 of the most stubborn parents ever. My mom has a number of blockages in her heart and needs to have open heart surgery- and refuses due to them needing to break her breast bone; scares the daylights out of her. And my dad's arthritis is so severely bothering him that he couldn't even get out of the car to accompany my mom into the doctor's office for that news.....and he is refusing to go to the dr office to be sure his pain is the arthritis.......stubborn. I am ripping my hair out trying to convince them to take care of themselves....I think all that's left is P&PD.

and I offically went waaaay off topic. Sorry scrappers!

Thanks Lisa! I do have 2 siblings that are trying to help. My mom is just so scared that she isn't realizing the benefits....she has an appt with another cardiologist on the 14th (perfect day for an appt for the heart?). Hopefully he'll convince her.

I haven't gone to any appts yet. My sister went to the first one; my dad was supposed to go to the second but couldn't walk! crazy i tell you!
