GrumpJes's DISigns ~ Disigning temporarily on hold =(

[grumpjes24]

Hello...Well I have been back from Virgina for a week and life has been...not great. But I wanted to let everyone know that I haven't forgotten your requests and should have time to work on them tomorrow and Monday.

We found out Wednesday that my husband has "Hairy Cell Leukemia". It has a treatment success rate of 90% which is obviously a relief! (Out of all the forms of leukemia that are out there, we learned this is the most treatable)The doctor seems very optimistic and even my husband, seems ok with the diagnosis. I guess after more than 2 months of testing, he is just really relieved that they found out what is wrong, there is a treatment plan in place AND it isn't as scary as some of the stuff he had been reading about. Even still...it has been hard for me to digest.

I was going to cancel our Disney trip - it starts June 20, but my husband is going on a business trip at the same time and insisted there is no reason for us to stay home. So I paid our trip in full this week! 42 more days to go!!!

I feel so special that i'm the one you are talking about... no rush on the disigns i won't get to them til sometime in the middle of may to add my touring plans. Unfortunatly i don't get to go to Disney til July... this has been a long wait... 13 months...

have a good trip to Virginia... i have a band trip May 11 - 18 to Toronto... that i'm looking forward too.. LISA

I think the longest I ever had to plan a trip was 7 months! I can't even imagine waiting 13 months to go to Disney but then arn't we always in some period of waiting? =) Have fun on your band trip! Ours was a lot of fun!! Are you in the band? What do you play?

I love your touring card designs! I'll get back to you once park hours are released for July and I can make my ADRs!

We live 45 minutes from Busch Gardens/Williamsburg, and last Saturday when we went there were about 15 high schools represented for senior class trips, band trips, choruses, you name it! It was crazy-packed! We vowed to go on Sundays from now on!

Have fun! The rain isn't supposed to come until Saturday night.

Virginia was absolutely beautiful. We stayed in Norfolk but visited Williamsburg. The weather was amazing! We had about 5 minutes of rain while we were at Busch Gardens and that was it! Of course, it rained the entire way home and it has rained 4 our of the last 6 days here at home!!!

Is there any chance I could have you make a Tinkerbell cover like the one posted earlier that says Morgan and one that says Jillian? My daughters would love this. Thanks for sharing your designs.

I will work on this tomorrow or Monday!

Thanks for reading & Happy Mother's Day!
Jes

Hi!
I was going to ask you if you could make more countdown cards from 185 to 200. I see that you have alot going on. I would like to try and adapt some of your extra number sets and wondered what font you used and where you got it.
Could you though please fix the tinkerbell number 1 to read day instead of days I've tried but it looks funny with the big space between the words.
Thanks!
Lisa

Well i guess life has been a little hecktic at your place. That is scary with your husband being diagnosied, but its good it has a good treatment rate of success. Yes i'm leaving on my band trip on Monday (so if you get my post done this week thanks in advance i will get it next week though - no prob, i still have 56 days to go). This 13 months has been a long time. I'm not actually in band... i play in Orchestra (first chair violin). But our school is sending, orchestra, band, jazz band, jazz choir, ladies chorus and concert chorale to toronto to compete in Music Fest Canada - Nationals. I'm quite excited as we all recieved gold at our festival here in Alberta last week.

Thanks again for all you do for us to make our trips a little more magical, and have fun on yours in June.

Here are your requests. I wasn't sure if you just wanted their names or countdown covers, so I did both. And I am very sorry that these are late!

Enjoy,

Here is your request!

I made two for Discovery Cove. I know that Mickey has nothing to do with DC, but I couldn't resist the image of Mickey swimming with the fishes.

Enjoy!
