As you all may know, (if you've been following along), we are going to Ohio to see mom this month... Actually in 5 DAYS!!!! and I have sooooooo much to do! I haven't had a vacation since last July and mom hasn't seen the girls in over a year so I am EXCITED!!!!!

So, I have a mile long list of things I need to do this weekend and what have I been doing for the last two hours.........

reading and catching up on the DIS I really need to get motivated!!!

We have been crazy busy at work so I have been exhausted by the time I get home...so the house is a WRECK!! But, Greg has been working on the van and has it fixed, just needs to clean it (he is obbsessed with going on a vacation with a clean vehicle ) At least it will look good in the pics of all the stuff hehe.... We are leaving Wed. as soon as I get off of work, (we drive overnight and sleep in the van) so hopefully we will arrive early Thurs morning. I am so excited!!! As one of my coworkers said yesterday, it's my "vacation to talk about my real vacation" hahahaha Yes, we will be disney planning!!! Also a bunch of people will be at disney while we are up there, so we will be living vicariously through you all!!!!!!!!

Well, I am going to clean the house today and finish up several craft projects tomorrow. I will try to post pics of everything when I finish..... I have several half finished items that I need to take so I must get them done.....nothing like procrastination to get a weekend started

I had a very productive weekend...... Got the house clean, including the playroom (that was like a tornado had gone through ), made dinner and dessert, cleaned out the fridge, did laundry, packed, and finished several craft projects that we have been working on. Now I just have to work for three days and I will be on my way to vacation....aaaaaaaaah

So I think I have posted bits of some of these before but here goes


travel boxes for the girls (I found chalkboard vinyl sheets.......LOVE THEM!!!


everyone loves beads!!!!


found this idea on pinterest......phone number bracelets for the ren fair.Hopefully no lost children but just in case


perler bead magnets.......I have something special planned for these when we finally make it to WDW!!!

Still have to finish some of the mickey necklaces and pack up the toiletries, now let's see if the house stays clean for three whole days......

 

[spiritsim]

That's a lot of magnets, you all have been busy. cleaning the house for when you get here. Been taking care of my neighbors dog, turtle and fish.And made those ribbon princesses for the girls. A tinkerbell head band for my hat. And did our pocket guides for WDW. think I am all ready for you to come now.......

 

[Luvchefmic]

Everything looks great!!! I love the bracelet idea. May have to copy that idea for my gran niece & nephew.

Those magnets are marvelous!

AND the chalk travel boxes....nothing short of brilliant! I want one for my suitcase with a list written on it of everything I should put in it, then I can cross it off when I pack it. lol

[sweetpeaandevie]

awww, thanks everybody

I actually "steal" a lot of ideas from pinterest, so feel free to use them as your own

Mo, I wish I could take pictures half as well as you do so we're even. Everyone has their own niche!!!

I am REALLY not feeling work today, ugh- this is going to be the LONGEST half week ever!!!!!

Mom, don't worry too much about cleaning before we get there, the girls are sure to destroy it anyways!!!!

 

[spiritsim]

Its a way for me to release all this pent up energy waiting for you all to get here... so it's a good thing It's raining again....I think this is the wettest summer we have had ever. I feel like I am in Oregon a little rain every day. can't even watch tv the no satalight with this much rain

 

[Overexcited]
