I have been slacking, badly. I want to apologize to all of my loyal readers, I promise to get better at updating now that the Wedding Hoopla is over. If you care to see Wedding
I mean we do only have 53 more days until the Pop Century/Wilderness Lodge Trip Extravaganza! :dance3: :banana: :woohoo: :cool1: :cheer2: :yay:
To get this PreTrip Report more organized....not that I am obsessed or anything. :rotfl2: I am making a list of things that I want to post about and accomplish before we leave on August 30th. Lady Listy strikes again! Oh, how I missed these lists that make positively giddy with excitement!! :upsidedow

LGMH Tags --- In order to accomplish this I need to buy the nifty self laminating luggage tag from Target. Also ribbon/string/some attaching device.

T-Shirts --- We all know I have unnatural attachments to lists and personalized t-shirts. I have a delimma though, how to do them? Order them off zazzle, use some of the nifty DISigns and transfer them? I am worried about both scenarios. Zazzle doesn't have plus sized women's tshirts in my size and the mens are all high necks which I don't like. I have never transferred tshirt designs so I am worried I will mess it up. Oh the delimma!

Finish the Past Trips Posts --- Slacker that I am.

Trip Binder --- I had a good start and now I have messed around with dining plan and such and need to redo.

Camera --- I had major problems using my flash while on the cruise. My dad said he would try to help me figure it out. I am really worried about not capturing my trip in photos!

Shoe Situation --- I am still iffy about wearing my beloved Mary Jane crocs in the parks. I really do need new sneakers, I just don't know what I want to wear on the footsies.

MNSSHP Costumes --- DH really wants to wear some kind of Halloween T-Shirt which is fine with me. I need to come up with an idea now. He is leaning towards a Jack Skellington one, so I thought it would be cute if I did a Sally one but I am not sure I like that. I want something a little more LL.

More Itinerary Musings --- Let's face it, just because I love it. I think I want to narrow the must do's for this trip as well. I don't want to feel overwhelmed.

Mousekeeping & Gratuity Envelopes --- They are all printed out, I just need to get the money in them and labeled.

Book Wilderness Lodge Photo Shoot --- I have heard through the DIS grapevine that WL is opening up for photo shoots in August. You can book it 30 days out so I will have to wait on that, which is not something I do well.

Prepurchase the Photopass CD --- I am so excited for this. I think it's great. I tried to condition DH on the cruise for posing for numerous pictures.

Whew, it feels awesome to make a list!! I have a lot to do. I must get cracking! :thumbsup2

DH has done this a lot. We buy the paper that you put in your printer, and do the transfers at home. I believe there's some ironing involved. He made me an awesome sweatshirt, I requested the design, but he made it. I'll see if I can post some pics for you.

In light of your Deadliest Catch fascination, I totally think DH needs to dress as a sailor.;) ;)

Would you give me a heads up if these do come out? I'd totally consider it.

I always travel with sneakers. Whatever you decide....bring at least two pairs of shoes in case one gets wet (not important if crocs but very important if sneakers) or one pair gives you problems.

Does he soak them in vinegar? I read that here on the DIS. Sounds icky. Apparently it helps keep the transer vibrant.

Of course!

I am going to bring a few pairs, I suffer from notenoughshoes phobia. I made the mistake of NOT bringing sneaker slast time. :headache:
 
Ahh, LL is making lists. All is right with the world! :goodvibes

I've never done the T-shirt transfers myself, but from what I've heard it's not too difficult. I think that's the way to go! :thumbsup2

I think I am going to try it. I am going to mosey over to the DISign portion of the DIS and see what they have cooking over there. I would love to find a really cool shirt for DH since he is so hesitant about wearing a "kid" shirt. He needs something manly. :lmao: His words, not mine.
 
I think I am leaning towards that. Now I just need to get some designs. :thumbsup2 If I make them myself than I can probably do a few of them since it will be more economical than ordering off of zazzle.

If you need help, feel free to ask. DH and I are both artists, so we love this kind of stuff.:goodvibes

I am not artistic in the sense of drawing. Scrapbooking, photos, crafty things I can do. But drawing, bleck.
I know the general idea of what I want.

MNSSHP for both of us, manly for DH but still LL-ish. Not the same but I would like a theme. :rotfl: Just typing this out make me shake my head at myself.

I wish I had a cool graphic program or something, because I could do some phrase tees with cool wording. If that makes sense but alas my computer has the bare minimum.

I also would really like a Lilo & Stitch shirt of some type for Kona Cafe. :goodvibes

I don't know. I need to search and think.

Let me know if you come up with phrasing. I could always try to hand draw something for you if all else fails. I love pumpkins, love Halloween, love October, love it, love it, love it!:goodvibes

I love Halloween too. I think going to MNSSHP so early will be put in the mood and the Halloween season will be extra long this year. :goodvibes

I will let you know. For some reason I am being very indecisive. :confused3

I bought some of this paper for the shirts for our September trip. Once I get them started, I'll let you know how I make out.

I have made t-shirts in the past using iron-on letters only. That wasn't too hard. The worst part was making sure the letters were in a straight line and not all over the place. I'm hoping this project is similarly easy.

Just a heads up, though, depending on the number of shirts you're planning on doing, the paper is a tad expensive. Regardless, though, it'll likely be cheaper than zazzle.

I'm going to look at the paper this weekend. I have a target giftcard that is burning a hole in my pocket. :thumbsup2

What kind of designs are you planning on doing?

Actually mostly just lettering, but since the individual letters in the script I want (pirate-y) are either hard to come by and/or expensive, it'll be easier for me to do on the computer. I may also throw a WALL-E one in and probably a Tink one (of course). And of course there will be a lil' sumpin' sumpin' for my sweet sis.

My only issue is this - I would really like to do tank tops and not tees because I'm more of a tank kind of gal, but I don't think the ribbing will work well with the transfers (streeeeeetching of the graphics across the girls) so the challenge will be finding inexpensive tanks with no ribbing.

There are a couple of free graphic programs you could maybe try out. I used Serif's Photo Plus to make the accursed pencil graphic for my shirt.
