July 28, 2007 - "Rome-ancing the Mouse Cruisers" -11 days! Part 3

[MrsJobba1]

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!! Enjoy the concert!



Gee wiz Helen, this is super. How big is it? I wouldn't even attempt this. You did a great job! (And you said you weren't talented - what does that say about me??)

Thanks its A4 size

 

[MrsJobba1]

Helen this is wonderful!!!

I haven't even started yet. DS15 goes to camp next Sunday for 6 weeks. I'm hoping to have time after we get him settled to work on some of these things. The fish extender fabric is waiting by the sewing machine and I still haven't decided on DisGifts, or the grab bag. Whitman's only claim to fame is THe Toll HOuse Cookie was invented here. But we can't bring open, unpackaged food on the cruise so those are out.

What program did you use?

Sandra

I used Microsoft publisher - thanks

 

[MrsJobba1]

Nice match on those shoes and skirt, Maryann!!

I like things to match too!

 

[MrsJobba1]

It's great, now what are you going to do with it?? I am not creative at all!!!

I'll print it, Laminate it then stick some magnetic tape on the back

 

[MrsJobba1]

It seems as if I'm the only one up now.....so I'll just keep talking to myself.
If I stay up long enough I'll be talking to the Brits soon.
Speaking of the Brits, great sign for your door Helen. I feel intimidated now ...... if you consider yourself uncrafty I don't know how I would describe myself.

Please have a go - it was easy - I just googled for the clip art !

Helen,

I've never used publisher before. Our administrator at school offers every summer to teach publisher, excel and or powerpoint and access. I just haven't been able to get to the classes yet. I did a door decoration on my scrapbooking program but one clip art is very fuzzy, I've done everything I know how to do to fix it without any luck so I may have to find a new clipart for that section. I will post it as soon as I figure out how.

I just had the Most Major Panic Attack.............as I mentioned earlier today...I planned to register online today........so I collected my family's passports and.................Tara's was missing (DD22).......so I spent about 2 hours looking for it AND I FOUND IT..........but I was in major panic mode........I've been registering since then............MY ADVICE.......REGISTER NOW SO THAT IF YOU ARE MISSING ANYTHING, THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you got things sorted - Dave is getting a new CCard for the med so Im holding off registering until it arrives.

I am a mega worrier

 

[MrsJobba1]

You too? Doc just doubled my medication. Now I am real jumpy in the morning, and get really bogged down around 1 or 2pm.

On a sad note - the 'nodules' on my thyroid are not only still there, but bigger. Doc gave me a name as i have to go have them do a special type of biopsy. He said to wait till after the cruise. I'm worried that i will have to have more surgery to have the whole thing removed. Wouldn't be so bad if I was in my 60's. But to think of taking medication for the next 60 years sucks.



My oldest is starting to get some of the teenage attitude. More the resistance that you often deal with, less attitude. Which is good because it means he's actually maturing. I know it sounds weird, but little things like that make me happy. Like when he called grandma and asked her how she was doing. and what was her day like, and what were her plans for tomorrow, etc. I actually walked away and started crying. (happy tears) He was 11 and finally learned how to talk to someone.

Now - my 9 year old on the other hand. Well - He's 9 going on 17. And has been since he was 6. I can't imagine what he is going to be like.



Laura - I am so sorry. I don't know what's worse. The fact that he is behaving this way, or that your family is tip toeing around it.

Hope you get things sorted - just to let you know im thinking of you. Best wishes

Brian was kind enough to send me a high res image a couple of weeks back. I spent some time cleaning it up (had some jpg compression artifacts).

Here are two images. The first one is a single high res image that's had its resolution adjusted to appear exactly 4.5 inches wide (the maximum recommended size for T-shirt pocket).

The second one is the same, except it has two images on a page - for those who want to print out their own T-shirt transfers to help conserve paper.

Hi everyone,

Not been around for a while, but done a bit of catching up! Glad to see TP issues (tissues?) appear to be resolved!
Ideas posted for t-shirt printing are helpful, thanks- will wait on Carrie to let us know if we need to organise it (thanks Carrie )
Lisa (Alexcturner)- sent you a pm
So excited - only few weeks now. Just sorting out hotels for Barcelona.

Glad to see you back

DW & I are standing in a ridiculous line for the Submarines Nemo ride. estimate 2.5 hrss. Typing this on my poccket PC. Wish you were all here.(just not in front of us)

Sandra its quite easy to use. You basically select a blank screen and you can drop clip art pics on to it!

I am so grateful for all the nice comments - Iam inspired to have another bit play for another one

Have fun

2.5 is a long wait - hope it goes quickly for you

Leaning Tower of Pizza? I think my 12 year old is still hoping that is it.


We have a restaurant in Saugus, MA called the Prince Spaghetti house and it uses the Leaning Tower of Pizza as its logo. THere is a huge model of the Leaning Tower as part of the building. I tried to find a picture but there isn't one on line.
I had the same issue - 2 rooms too. Mine and my husbands came out 3 hours earlier - I think the kids are fine. It took quite awhile to do with 2 rooms. They had a survey for me to do afterwards - I wasn't too kind with my remarks. The two rooms were linked and I could do the money authorization one time, why did I have to keep doing the airline one over and over again - they could give choices about who the info refers to. I also got bumped off several times - it was quite a drag getting it done.

I"m glad you got it done. Disney could really use some computer programmers or web designers. You'd think that would be something they would be good at.

DH will be home soon so we can apply for the kids passports. Wish me luck.

Helen, I think I'll give it a try. How are you going to laminate it? Do you take it to an office store or do it at home?

Dave has a laminator @ work I use .

I'll have to go round his office to print as our home printer is black & White - I hope he has lots of colourful ink

 

[Sandaneli]

We have a laminator at work maybe I could try to use it. I haven't learned how yet because I haven't wanted to have to do it all the time. But I have to go in for some other things this week I'll check it out then.

[MrsJobba1]

You lot have inspired me I really should be making worksheets but I ended up doing this

 

[captaincrash]

Where do you get all of your pictures from? They are hilarious!

​

I get the pictures from ALL over - and they don't come without a bit of a price. I usually am reading a thread where I have interest - as in your 28th meet thread where I have a few friends sailing - and I when I read/spot/skim over something this gives rise to an inspiration I engage in a search - a random one of the web to find a suitable or tolerably similar image or animation to what I have in mind. TO be candid perhaps 25-50% of my searches are fruitless and maybe I'll find something totally different from what I started out to find - but mostly if I can't find what I want then I'll post nothing or a few words only. Obviously - I rarely engage in the latter.

So - all I'm really doin' is spreading a few chuckles if I'm lucky about what I'm doin'....

Have a good day folks! ENjoy your planning frenzy - I gotta go get my daughter now from her swim team workout.

Cheers!!!
