Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 5

[spongemommie05]

I don't know if anyone read my post a few days ago about having a hard time this Thanksgiving. It's our first Thanksgiving without Henry's Grandpa. His name was Stan and he was one of my best friends, as well as my Grandpa. He used to do all the cooking on Thanksgiving and we always went to their house. This year, Henry's Grandma Jo (Stan's widow) and some of her family/friends came to our house. We made it through with no tears, until Jo gave me my birthday present (my birthday is tomorrow, the 24th). First, here's the cake she got me:

Then, she gave me this gift:

I couldn't stop crying. This is Stan's cross that he wore every day of his life, for as long as I knew him. She gave it to ME. I was so overwhelmed with emotion and thanks for such a wonderful gift. She said he would have wanted me to have it and that he loved me SO much. I can hardly type this because I'm crying again.

Here's a picture of Stan, Jo, and Me being silly on Thanksgiving a few years ago (he's wearing the necklace). He was a tough looking old guy (a retired cop), but he was a big 'ol marshmallow:

I just wanted to share this emotional event with all my new friends (and Teresa, of course). I knew you guys would understand.

omg ! how wonderful what a great b-day present and such a sweet sentiment that you will always remember .

What a sweet lady to give you that necklace! Also, DH's mom is Grandma Jo too! You are blessed with a wonderful family.

Happy Birthday!

Went to Hacocks for the 50% off sale today. I really wanted to stock up for my Disney trip but I ended up finding some other things!!

I LOVE these. Going to make a stripwork jumper out of them.

Close up of tigger. I've been looking at this fabric for a while. I am not sure what to do with it yet. Any one have suggestions? We have breakfast at CP and I want to make something for dd (4) and something for ds (2.5). What do you think? I'm thinking overalls for ds but I"m not sure what for dd. I looked at a bunch of other fabrics that might coordinate for a stripwork skirt but I'm just not sure.

 

[livndisney]

Does anyone have either of these dolls handy and can tell me the waist measurement (Please)?

Help PLEASE

What a wonderful gift. I know what you mean about Thanksgiving being hard. This was our 3rd since my mom passed away. It's really tough.

Sorry it took so long! Bitty Baby's waist is 11" around. Let's see...she is sitting right here, her inseam is about 5 1/2" (her legs are bendy, that is following the bend) She is wearing a Bitty Twins nightgown that measures 11" from shoulder seam to hem, the skirt portion is 7 1/2" long but that is an empire style. a regular twirl skirt would be good around 6" long which is about waist to knee. 7" for a longer skirt and probably about 8" for full length.

Love that Tigger one--it would look great in an I spy quilt!

 

[billwendy]

This is AWESOME!!! I hope it comes to joann's or walmart - I'd love this for DN!!!!

I just wanted to share this emotional event with all my new friends (and Teresa, of course). I knew you guys would understand.

Awwww, what a cool treasure - that is truely a special gift. Very cool.....

 

[camelotcats]

Heather, what a wonderful gift! Wow.

I'm sad Since our JoAnn's is closing, they have gotten no new Disney Fabric since the last time I was there. NO FUN!!

Help PLEASE

I missed this originally. Which dolls are you referring to?

We got home from Disney World yesterday, but we're at family for the rest of the week-end so no pics yet. Soon, I promise. Later today, if I can get dh to find the cable I need.

OMG OMG OMG I HAVE TO MAKE THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who came up with this idea? Genius!!!!!

Ok, what are the tags for? Just so they know whose is whose?

The tags show what's inside & the other side of the tag is just for id...2 girls means I NEED id on them.

Soooo cute - so are they stickers inside? what other things did you put inside? I love this idea!!!!!!!

I got stickers at Dollar Tree & matched the pics on the stickers so everything looks the same on both sides. I stuck them together & them used self-laminating sheets to make them sturdy. there are also some Dollar Tree pen toppers in there. It was hard to find small Disney things to add that were small enough & cheap enough.

The girls loved them. They played with them all the way to Florida. Not exactly qiuet though. DD1 just likes to shake hers & the rice makes quite a bit of noise (def. quiet enough for a plane trip though).

I just got back from my Black Friday shopping too! I went to Michael's to get the cricut, but it was sold out. A couple of hours later, my DH called - he was at WalMart, and they had a cricut for $119. He picked it up for me. Then I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up the Mickey and Friends, Dreams Come True and Happily Ever After cartridges. I can't wait to play!

I saw that they had it on sale at walmart, but it was not the bundle pack. you should have seen the michaels. it was crazy

Okay, Little's new thing is to run around the house w/ a dishcloth or any other scrap fabric (some not so scrap ) singing "Madame Gaston, his little wife" she sings the whole rest of that part... waving the fabric around and putting it over her head like belle.

She was in here singin a minute ago and I turned around, she stopped and said "don't looking at ME!"

and this morning when I got her dressed (in jeans...)she said "look Dadda, I me a princess!"
Boy have I got her trained or what!?!
...t.

[EnchantedPrincess]

Happy Birthday, and what a wonderful gift! Your story made me cry!! I lost my grandpa when I was 10 and he raised me until I was about 8 or 9 years old and we were really closed!
