It's a Jolly Holiday with LL. *FINISHED* Final Update on pg. 58.

I say pink and green too! But definitely pack the white depending on the background they stick you in; if it's very green around you you might look stunning in the white!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Oh, thanks for the pic! I think the shirt looks great!

As to the WL photos, I personally like option three. I think the white and green combo is very WL. Now, the pink/green would provide a huge contrast, which could be nice, or it could be too much. That's my only fear with that.

And you're very organized about your pins, lovely.

Suffer through 13 more days of updates? Suffer? I don't think so, hon! I love the daily updates.

I try to be organized. Isn't that part of the DISer oath?

I like option number one. The colors look nice together. Cute pic of the kitty!

~Beka~

I love the way the pink and green looks together.

I wear the pink and the green and bring the white just in case. Sometimes if you wear white in pics, you can seem washed out. I think it would "work" with WL but I personally like the pink and green for pics.

That is what I am worried about with the white, that I will look washed out. I think I am leaning towards the pink and green.

I personally like the green and white combination best, but I'm thinking that Tink might be right about looking "washed out" since you do have very fair skin. Have you tried taking some pictures of yourself in both outfits... how do the colours look on?


at shaved Sulley. My kitty currently has a large section of his back end shaved like that!

I might have to take pictures of myself in both shirts.

Fab shirt for your b-day!!! You have renewed my vow to make t-shirts for next June!!!

I like the first pair of shirts -- the pink and green combo! I think that would look great at WL!

Finding Nemo ziploc bags??? You know I need to go get those if I stay at CBR next summer! I just have to!

The pin lanyards are incredibly heavy, but I like all your pin choices! Where will you put new ones that you buy?

I have no idea where I will put the new ones! Perhaps I will need a new lanyard??

I vote for pink and green too. I think the pink shirt would work better outdoors than the white.

I have those Nemo bags too....and the Cars ones also. (Jackie they are in the Dollar bins at Target)

Yep, that's where I got them. At Target's One Spot.

Another vote for the pink and green because of the wash-out potential of the white, and especially since DH looks good in the green.

I laughed right out loud at the pics of poor Sulley. That tail! He looks totally ticked off about it, too!

He was really ticked off about it. He was very sensitive to all the laughing we were doing.

I like the pink and green combo. White can be chancey sometimes in photos outdoors. I think it's a nice contrast.

I am thinking you might be right about the white.

I also like the pink and green, but I could see the white and green working with the light green tank underneath it.

Also love how TK's design turned out!

And thanks for posting the lanyard pix! You do have a lot of cool pins. I'll be excited to see what you end up trading for!

I can't wait to see all the pins down there. I get in a pin tizzy on ebay, I can't imagine how I will feel once I step into one of the pin stores.

I am hoping to see WL photos from the photo session on the thread I have been reading but so far I think I am one of the first ones to go to WL.

I'm all caught up and so excited with everything you posted (the pics of Sulley are adorable) - most notably your birthday shirt! I also like the pink/green shirt combos.

I can't believe it - 12 days!!!!

I can't believe it's 12 days too. WOO FREAKING HOO!!!

As promised, I am keeping up with my streak of updating everyday until my trip. I promise nothing as to great, thought provoking, wonderful Disney content, I can promise you that I will be getting more and more excited as we get closer.

I finally made some LGMH's. I tried over a month ago and just wasn't happy with how they turned out. So it was back to the drawing board. I only made two LGMH's. One is currently attached to my bag and the other is in my handy dandy green organizer dodad waiting to be used.

Personally, I think it looks fab attached to my VB bag.

I wasn't sure how I felt about the Mickey & Minnie sticker on my LGMH so I made one with just my name on it. Notice the purple ribbon. I just can't get away from my love of purple.

I went to the Dollar Tree a few weeks ago and picked up a few things to bring with us.

Some glow bracelets. I bought two packages, figuring we can connect them with the connectors to make them bigger or maybe give to kids around us while watching fireworks or Spectromagic.

DH scoffed at me when I showed him this fan. He scoffed so much at the two I had in my basket that he made me put one back, saying that it wouldn't help any. When I put the batteries in it this weekend and he saw how powerful it was he was shocked. Well buddy, get away from my fan! In all seriousness, I will share but will remind him numerous times of the scoffing. LL knows best.

Off

On

I also bought Eeyore Silly Putty. The pictures didn't turn out well. It's really lightweight and I figure it might entertain me if we get stuck in a long line. Coughtoystorymaniacough.

I also took pictures of my dry sack. No dirty minds! The dry sack is the sack that we bought to keep my camera dry. I love it but I wish it was more padded to protect my camera. I couldn't find a camera case that I liked that wasn't gigantic. I do not want to feel like a pack mule.

Nothing in it.

With my little battery/memory card case in it. Obviously, I couldn't take a picture with my camera in it but you get the general idea.

I know I posted a picture the gorillapod but not a picture of my actual gorillapod.

Wrapped around my freezer handle.

And last but not least...my battery charger!

Wasn't this post uber exciting?

 

[TarzansKat]

Oh, my word!

But seriously, LOVE the LGMH! You did an awesome job on the one on your bag!

And I like seeing the other stuff too. It's just fun.

 

[Charleston Princess]

I love your LGMH, and I agree that it looks absolutely fabulous attached to your Vera Bradley back!!! I am already planning on copying how you did yours for next June!

The off and on fan pictures cracked me up!!! Only on the DIS boards could I find that!

Anything that shows how close you are to Disney is uber-exciting as far as I am concerned!

Just one more work Monday for you!!!

 

[Philadisney]

I am the same way, I want to keep updating my trip report just because I am excited I am glad I read your latest entry because it never occurred to me to bring a handheld fan. DBF HATES the heat so it would be perfect to bring one of those for him. I'll have to see if I can find one at Target or something
Oh yeah and your LGMH looks fantastic! Wait til you see mine - it's just a paint chip with my name scrawled on it in sharpie. I might even laminate it. Crafty I am not

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Where did you get the camera bag???

 

[If U Had Wings]

Love all the goodies! I have a little mini fan that works much better than the bigger one I had also bought. Learned my lesson - I'm only bringing the tiny one.

Love the camera bag too. Just the right size.

Thank you very much! I figure at this point anything trip related is fun.

I will not lie to you CP. The reason I picked this pattern of VB is that I knew it would look lovely with a LGMH next to it. I don't like to clash.

Can you believe only one more work Monday!?!? Oh my goodness. Though I feel I cheated today as I called out of work but it doesn't matter...ONLY ONE MORE MONDAY MORNING!!

It took much finagling with my printer to print out that Lady Lallie just so. Pffft. I am happy with the way they turned out. Hopefully they will get me noticed!
I'm glad I am not the only one wanting to update all the time!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Where did you get the camera bag???

REI in Framingham.

Love all the goodies! I have a little mini fan that works much better than the bigger one I had also bought. Learned my lesson - I'm only bringing the tiny one.

Love the camera bag too. Just the right size.

It is. They have those bags all the way up in size to fit a sleeping bag in it!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Framingham???? I wonder if the REI in Reading has them. HHMMMMM

 

[Lady Lallie]

I bet they do. You could always call and ask. I actually went to REI for my Overland Donner bag...that I don't like but that's a different story.

Oh, I understand more than you can know! I purposely chose my VB pattern because it has lime green in it!

I am dancing with you about your one more Monday morning!!!

It's really heart warming to know I am not the only one. Granted, when I tell DH I am not the only one in these kinds of situations...he gives me an eye roll. He's really perfected it during this planning process.

He and Charles can exchange planning stories at LLF09!

I am sure there will be a lot of eye rolling.

Though to be fair, DH is getting excited for the trip too. BIL was making fun of him for going to Disney. DH said, "I am actually really excited. I am looking forward to doing more attractions then we did as kids." I have trained him well.

Should have gone with the Baggallini!!!

 

[ForeverDance]

I love the update I actually think it's a lot of fun to see the things that other's pack and worry about... it makes me feel more normal

I really love the LGMH. DH has sworn he will not be seen with me if I have any LGMH attached to my person. He has also said none will be appearing in our resort room window... I happen to have a whole stash so I'm imagining that somehow they will accidently end up coming with us on the trip
