"I Want To Go Back!!!"....a Sept 2010 PTR(upd 10/12-TR Started!)

[Dancegrl624]

I have the Night & Day VB backpack & I love it! Unfortunately, it wasn't on sale when I bought mine

Good to hear! I can't wait to get it and explore it for myself. That stinks that you didn't get it on sale. I sometimes wonder why VB bags are so darn expensive.

Congratulations to Madison! I took advantage of the VB sale too, to order my first VB. I ended up with the Messenger bag instead of the back pack but I almost got it instead. Looking forward to getting mine as well!

Yea for Vera!!! You are going to love it. The best part about VB bags....they're washable!!! I've washed all of mine and they come out look good as new.

Wow, your VBS looks awesome!! I'm glad the water balloons are keeping everyone cool.

Cute Tink shirts for Madison. Congrats to her on doing so well in her dances. That is great!!

I've been passing some of naptime reading your past TR (Is there one for that first trip, or just a PTR?) and I think my favorite part is when, in your first PTR, you say that you should plan disney trips for a living! haha.

 

[lexmas]

Whoops, never mind, I found the TR, you just stopped putting links! Alright, back to reading as long as these babies stay asleep!

Signing onto your PTR! Your daughter is so cute! Congrats on becoming a disney travel planner! So exciting and I am glad you have your dream job!

It was a ton of fun!!! I love the Tink shirts. I had her try them on today and they're perfect.

Hahaha!!! I forgot that I had written that. Something weird happened with my first PTR/TR. A Mod morphed them into one place (which is not what I did originally). I should really go back and re-read my pasts TR's.

Thanks for reading!!! We think Maddie is pretty cute too. I am very excited about my new job. It's a lot of fun.

I just drove by a church today that had a sign for their VBS - HIGH SEAS!!! Must be a good one!

We get our VBS themes from a company called Group. High Seas is the new VBS that came out for this year from them. It was a really great theme.

Hello everyone! So....I just took some pics of my scrapbooks and I'm so excited to share them with you. I didn't take them out of the plastic pages, so sorry if there's a bit of a glare on some of them. They're just so darn difficult to take in and out!!!! Here is a sampling of some of my favorite pages. I'm still a beginner, so don't be too hard on me!!

This is the first page on my January album

Went a little crazy with stickers, but I LOVE this page!

Belle and the Beast in France

Epcot Character Spot

Pixie Hollow

The BEST character interaction!

Madison's favorite princess

This is the last page of my Jan book. It was my mom's idea to do a page with Maddie getting autographs. I love this page!

Now, for some June pics! This is my first page in the June album

Some POP pics

DHS

My fav pics from my birthday (arrival day)

A little bit of a tribute to my love for the Castle

Alice and the tea cups

Haunted Mansion

Chef Mickey's!

Here are my World Showcase pics that I absolutely adore, and yes, they are in clockwise order around the lagoon! I don't know how I didn't get a pic of France, but all the rest are here.

I'm mostly Italian and German and I love how these 2 countries are next to each other

This is the last page of the June album even though I'm not done yet. I love this page too!

There you have it folks! A little sampling of my scrapbooking.

WOW.. absolutely Wonderful!!! i am going to try and do a scrapbook too!! love it!! cant wait to go back to Disney!!! YAY!

Hi everyone! I have been having such a Disney week. The other day, I got some Mickey Mail! It was just a pamphlet with info I already know, but it came from Disney so it made me smile. Then, as I reported yesterday, I switched over to a package and had the best CM ever. It was so much fun to talk Disney with someone who was so joyful. So I open my email this morning and what's waiting for me???? My GAD vouchers!!!!! Woo hoo!!!! I immdiately printed them out and put them into my Disney folder (yes, I said Disney folder). I even got excited to get my reservation details in my email as well. If something says Disney on it, I get very happy.

I kind of tweaked my ADR's a little bit too. With only a week before I make my ADR's (oh yeah!) I really needed to sit down and come up with a plan. We decided to go for CRT and we'll pay OOP for one other meal. Quick question...I know that you have to pre-pay for CRT, but how does that work if you're on the DDP? Do you get a refund or something?? Anyways....here is my new list of ADR's:

Sept 22-No ADR's
Sept 23-Chef Mickey's for a late breakfast (around 10:30 or 11am)
Sept 24-CRT 4:30pm (this is our MNSSHP night)
Sept 25-Coral Reef or Garden Grill 4:30/5pm (these are Madison's top 2)
Sept 26- Crystal Palace 8am
Sept 27-50's PTC 4:30/5pm
Sept 28-Cape May Cafe 5:30pm
Sept 29-'Ohana 9am (departure day)

Let me explain a few things....Even though we will be at WDW for 8days/7nights, I only got 7-day park hoppers. This is because #1-we don't have our flights yet so I don't know if we'll be able to head to a park on departure day and #2-With the halloween party, you can enter the park at 4pm without having to use a day off of your park tickets. So, I was originally thinking of heading to MK earlier than 4pm on the party day, but now I've decided against it. We can sleep in a bit, maybe head to DTD, go back to Pop to get ready for the party and then go to MK. I think CRT will be fun to go to in costume!!! So....it will be an early dinner at CRT!!!! As you can see, I did pick early times for dinner. I'm thinking with FD, it might be best to get the first seating. Well, there you have it! I can't wait to make my ADR's next Friday!!! It's still pretty weird to be making them 6 months in advance, but it's one thing to cross off of my list.

we are going to the POP too At the same time!!! First time at the POP but i hear its great!

 

[Dancegrl624]

WOW.. absolutely Wonderful!!! i am going to try and do a scrapbook too!! love it!! cant wait to go back to Disney!!! YAY!

Thank you! I had so much fun making my Disney scrapbooks. Now, if only I could get motivated to make one with all of my daughter's pics!

we are going to the POP too At the same time!!! First time at the POP but i hear its great!

Awesome!! You're going to love Pop. It's awesome...especially the buses.

Hi everyone. In case you didn't already know, I'm a bit obsessed with Vera Bradley. I've already shown you my new hipster and tote in Call Me Coral and I have the matching Euro Wallet and Lanyard too. I told you all about the great deal on the Large Backpack the other day and I got it in the mail on Saturday!!!

Isn't it beautiful??

Under the front flap, there is a place to put your id and a large pocket

Here's a view of the inside. Just like most Vera bags, there is a slip pocket (great for cell phones, gum, etc). Look at how much room there is in there! I think this would make a great diaper bag too.

For my birthday, my older sister gave me a gift certificate for a place called The Perfect Gift. They sell lots of cute jewelry and unique gifts along with Vera!! I went there a few weeks ago, but they didn't have much of a selection. They were probably getting ready for the new fall colors (they came out on July 8th). So, I took a ride out there today and they are fully stocked! The gift certificate was for $25 and I only had to pay an additionaly $5 (plus tax)! Here's what I got:

The Tech Case in new Very Berry Paisley

View of the inside. As you can see, I already put my ipod and headphones in there! It fits so perfectly.

Card Holder in new Barcelona

View of the inside...perfect for my new business cards!

Not that most of you care, but here's a list of the Vera I now have (it's not a lot):

Hipster in Pink Elephant
Morgan in Purple Punch
Bucket Tote in Paprika
Zip Around Wallet in Bali Gold
All In One Wristlet in Pirouette
Tote in Call Me Coral
Hipster in Call Me Coral
Lanyard in Call Me Coral
Euro Wallet in Call Me Coral
Large Backpack in Carnaby
Tech Case in Very Berry Paisley
Card Holder in Barcelona
Luggage Tag in Bali Gold
Mini Notebook in Bali Gold and Call Me Coral

I swear, that is not a very long list. I work with some people who have over 60 Vera bags!!! Anyways....you can no longer purchase the Large Backpack. They still have a smaller version, but they just came out with a new laptop bag: Laptop Bag. I must say, the Laptop Bag is absolutely huge!!! It's perfect for a college student. In the picture is another new pattern, Hello Dahlia. The other new pattern is called Slate Blooms. I got to see them all in person today and they are all so unique.

Nice VB! HI Signing in I see that we are both at Crystal Palace on the same day! Our ADR is @ 8:25 lol. The 26th is our DS5 6th Birthday! I hope your family has as much as I hope our family does lol!

 

[lexmas]

I will believe you that it's not a lot, but it sure sounds like a lot! They're all really cute though!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Cute stuff!!! I have to say that the Barcelona pattern is my favorite of your new things. So subtle and pretty! I only have one Vera (a hipster in Sittin' in a Tree) and I haven't used it quite yet. Maybe I'll fall into the obsession too, lol!!

 

[jenny105]

Wowza! That's a big list to me, I don't have nearly as much Vera! I have a mini-hipster, a hipster, and a wallet. Don't even ask me the patterns off the top of my head cause I have no idea. I love everything you got though, very nice!

 

[klacey1]

I love the tech case!! Very Berry is my favorite new pattern--love the colors. Seems like it's not too season-specific (some of the summer patterns are a bit TOO summery), too. The backpack is great, too-- will you use that on your trip or stick to your hipster?
I have around 20 Vera pieces and don't think it's enough either!! I saw a war erupt on Facebook because a woman on the VB page said her collection was worth over $25,000 and other women insisted she was bragging and/or lying. That's a bit excessive (more than a bit!!), but I'm always looking for excuses to buy more Vera!!

 

[jenjolt]

Love the Vera backpack!! WOW that is quite the list!! I definitely want to increase my number of Veras....I want another saddle bag so I will have to do some shopping around!

 

[Sleeping Jilly]

Love the bags,sooo cute!

I'll have to look for you at CP! That is my family's fav place for breakfast.

I will believe you that it's not a lot, but it sure sounds like a lot! They're all really cute though!

It's not a lot compared to some people I know. I love it so much!

The Barcelona purses have a stripe on them that's pretty cute. It reminds me of Spanish tiles. Once you use the Hipster, you'll love it! It's the perfect "hands free" bag.

Wowza! That's a big list to me, I don't have nearly as much Vera! I have a mini-hipster, a hipster, and a wallet. Don't even ask me the patterns off the top of my head cause I have no idea. I love everything you got though, very nice!

Hahaha....it really isn't that much, I promise!

The tech case is so cute and functional. I hate wrapping my headphones around my ipod. You can never have enough Vera. Wow, $25,000....she must have been a Vera fan since the beginning! Ebay usually has some great Vera deals. That's where I got my zip around wallet. Not sure what bag I'm going to use in Sept yet.

Love the Vera backpack!! WOW that is quite the list!! I definitely want to increase my number of Veras....I want another saddle bag so I will have to do some shopping around!

The backpack is fantastic. I might have to do a trial run with it before our trip. Definately check out ebay!

Love the bags,sooo cute!
