Girls Only Trip (old thread, link to new thread in first post)

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

Morning!


I am sooo happy to not be at work!

I am going to defer the transportation decisions to Stacie or Callie or Fairykin. I don't know what I'm doing. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know!

Beth-I am a go for the whole trip! It looks like I am signed up for everything I want to do. I would like my name taken off the DVC tour list though. If I ever do buy DVC, it would be at WDW just becuase we are moving back east next year.

As far as the tote bags go, I plan on putting a few things in it. I'm trying to stay close to the budget though. I know that we are all on a tight budget. I probably will end up going over a little bit though. I think my bag will be the best! Can I take my own bag???

I never heard anything about a pin trade. Am I suppose to put a pin on the bag? I joined the group a little late after all these things were planned.

I can't wait to meet you all!

Heather

Everyone... Please keep Melody in your thoughts and prayers today, as her Beloved StepFather died on saturday and the family is devestated. Melody is the only child who lives close to her mother and so she will now be primary caregiver. Please keep them close in your thoughts during this very bad time for their family.

I am so sorry to hear this. I will keep Melody and her family in my prayers. Let us know if there is anything we can do.

I know the power of prayer and Melody and her Mom really need it at this time. We are all friends and can be together in our thoughtful care and prayers even though we are so far apart distance wise.

Oh no. I am so sorry to hear that. I will definitely keep her and her family in my thoughts.

Here we are, just in case someone doesn't recognize us

What a wonderful photo!

Hey Gals, For those of you that have not done your tshirt yet. I have read that HP transfer paper is the best. I went to order it from HP, and it was 1/2 price with free shipping. Doesn't get better than that!

Ok--I am totally out of the loop on this one! (Not surprising--the holidays have been hectic.) What are we doing and if I understand we can either do it ourselves ??? or order from Zazzle? Info please!!! Someone?

Oh gosh--was it expected? Not that that would make it any better. Having a loved one die at the holidays has to be the worst. Did this mean she cancelled her trip to DLR? Was her stepfather the one who wanted the family reunion? She is such a sweet lady (well, actually, all of you are) and I know she was so looking forward to this trip with her family. I will post a card to her. I actually keep a supply of sympathy cards in my office because so many people I know are losing parents these days . . . . sad

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

I would like to send her a card also, but did not participate in the Christmas card exchange. Do you all think she would mind someone PMing me her address?

First of all my condolences and prayers to Melody. It is so very hard to lose someone and ESP during the holidays.

EVERYONE WHO WANTED TO DO ZAZZLE URGENT NOTICE!!!!

We cannot use them. I just ordered my shirt and they cancelled my order!

Apparently the Tink is copyrighted and we cannot use them. I am SOOOO bummed.

I ordered my shirt yesterday and they cancelled my order and refunded my money. NOW what am I going to do! I SOOO did not want to have to do the transfer. UGH! Is there anyone that is good at it that I can pay to make me a shirt? I seriously would PAY someone to make mine cuz I am SO not good at this stuff! I so wanted to just buy one and now I can't.

I couldn't believe when Zazzle cancelled my order but before anyone else attempts it I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Beth you might want to let everyone know this before anyone else tries. Thanks. It looks like now we are going to be forced to make our shirts.

Hey Cheryl. The t-shirt info is on the front page. We are only doing one tee, and a lanyard to save money and hassle. You can make the tee yourself. There is a little video link you can watch to get an idea on how.
All we ask is the tees be white and have Tink on them. Other then that it's up to you if you want crew neck, V-neck, short sleeve, 3/4 length sleeve, etc. Hope that helps!
(ETA: see Kelly's post about ordering from Zazzle)

I would like to send her a card also, but did not participate in the Christmas card exchange. Do you all think she would mind someone PMing me her address?

I don't think she'd mind, but I don't have the address list anymore. Not only do I throw everything away in my house, I also delete everything from my PMs and emails. Sorry.

What?? Why would they cancel an image they offer on their website? How bizarre!

Well, thanks for letting me know! I better edit my post to Cheryl! And the front page.

Still......that's dumb.

OR you can order from Zazzle. They have the same Tink image on their website.

Thanks for the thought Beth. I need to get more like you. I'm in the process right now of packing and going through stuff. It's amazing how much crap, I mean stuff, we have. I'm being ruthless with my tossing today.

Can we just order shirts from Zazzle with just a tink on them? I was thinking about the copyright. Is there not a way to add writing to the shirts on zazzle? I need to try to make my own first, and if that turns out ok, I might have some time to some for others. I sew and craft a lot. I'm thinking I should be able to do it.

Beth I don't know. This is what they said. WEIRD: I copied this from my e-mail so people could see what they said.



ORDER CANCELLATION NOTICE

Dear Kelly *****,

We are sorry, but we are unable to process your Zazzle.com order 131-69340027-8029313 due to a conflict with one or more of our acceptable content guidelines.

Your entire order has been cancelled; all of the items in your order will not be shipped.

A refund for the full amount of your order has been issued to your credit card/PayPal account. We apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this may have caused.

For these reasons, we were unable to process your original order:

Beth I don't know. This is what they said.

Well, I guess I don't know much about how Zazzle works then. I mean, why offer a picture of that image on your website, when it's not able to be ordered??

Oh well. Guess we'd all better get creative real fast.

Unless someone else has some better ideas. As always, I'm open for suggestions. Perhaps reopen the topless discussion?

No, better not. It wasn't pretty last time.


ETA: I'll check in later. The dishes, laundry, and vacuuming apparently aren't going to do themselves. Darn it.

 

[kelmac284]

I don't know. I was amazed I was even able to figure out how to copy the one from OUR site. I am SOOO lame with this stuff as it is. And then when I did it, it said that the image might be pixalated or blurry so maybe it is a good thing it didn't work. Who knows. ACK! This stuff is so not me. I am a go buy stuff type person. Don't ask me to make stuff cuz I am SO lame at it LOL.

And topless oh lord help me! THAT is a scary thought! People would run in fear! LOL. We would DEF be an attraction that's for sure

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

I think the issue is that we 'changed' the copyright image by adding words to it. Silly, I know, but it's the same thing when you buy portraits from a studio. They don't want you to change the image and reprint it. It's their intellectual property.

I'm more than willing to help out once I know I can make one ok.

Maybe instead of topless, we can at least wear some bras? My only issue with the topless was having 'the girls' flying around on the rides.

We could all get coordinating lime green bras!

Uhhhh-----no.

Some of us have more things than "girls" to flop around!

I pm'd you.

I wonder if it would violate their standards if the "wordage" was on the back?

or wonder if you could order with just the Tink and then add words separately?
