Lily's Wish Tripping (and Mama's PTR!) WDW/GKTW 2/6/11-2/12/11 UPDATED with new pics

Amy Mickey has the BEST transfers you can buy. I have been using her transfers the past few years to make all of our shirts. We have washed them several times and they still look great! Her transfers cost more than those cheap ones at most stores, but I feel you really get what you pay for with hers. You can find them here.

* I am not connected to Amy Mickey in any way, other than a very satisfied customer.

I just read all the testimonies on her site and I am totally buying from her. Thanks so much for the heads up! I feel less like I am going to royally screw up the shirts now.

Your shirt plans look so great and so do your plans for your trip. I can't wait to see the finished product in your trip pictures on your family...it will be so cute!

Thank you!!

I love the shirts! I've done the iron on's before... the only suggestion I have is to just make sure you use the right ones for the right color shirts. I've bought the ones meant for white shirts by accident and they look terrible on anything but white!

Thank you!! I will keep that in mind. The sooner I get these bad boys done the better! I'm totally stressing over it and I haven't even ordered the shirts yet!

It says she's not doing Disney designs anymore

I just noticed our trips overlap for one day so maybe we will see you around GKTW!

Yeah, there is a long story behind it. I'm sure she would love to, but she can't. (If you are referring to AmyMickey)

I love the Tshirt prints!!! I love that board as well! I don't make Tshirts but I enjoy seeing the Mousekeeping Envelope ideas!

And to think...what would we have done without the internet?!

those shirts are going to be so cute
that is my plan this trip to have everyone wear matching shirts everyday
it is so much easier to look for one shirt instead of 5

Just a quick comment.... you are right...everyone wearing matching shirts is easier to look at... it makes it less distracting...as a photographer I urge familes to coordinate their clothes...especially large families...because you wind up seeing a myriad of colors and patterns more than the faces of the people! But when people can't coord their clothes...I tell them it is more important to have you in the photo! Your family is the reason for the photo... ! Take care!

And like you said it's easier when looking for a group member, to have the same shirts!

Love the shirt designs, so cute! Sorry I can't offer any advice on the iron-ons; after two sets of iron-ons that didn't survive the wash (thank goodness we didn't wash them until after the trip!) I decided that was a sign that I should just stick to sewing my girls' Disney outfits.

My thoughts, also. I have made a ton of our our own custom Disney shirts since I first found the DISboards. I read a few trip reports way back when with people wearing the same shirts in their pictures and I thought that was such a great idea. I started to get somewhat proficient with PhotoShop and that helps a LOT. Funny though, my favorites are the tie-dye mickey head t-shirts - with instructions found on the DISign board(the ones I didn't do any graphics and iron-on transfers on.)

 

[Mom2mitokids]

Yeah!!! Your link works.

 

[hollie1974]

Howdy folks,
Sorry I have kinda dropped off the face of the earth. I am going to try and get caught up with all my subbed threads (including this one lol) tonight.

If you all could, would you be kind enough the visit Lily's blog? It's super, super important to me! http://lilyfight.blogspot.com/

Thanks!
Hollie

Totally bummed. After 4+ months of no seizures....Lily just had one. It was a really, really, really, small mild one but a seizure none the less. There will be no sleep in this household tonight. She and DH are off to the hospital with our totally fab ER guys, while I stay here so CJ can continue to sleep until they release her.
This really sucks. I mean, don't get me wrong I am glad it was itty bitty, but 10 days after her last little one she had a huge one, so time to be totally on edge. *Sigh*

 

[hollie1974]

Well they are back from the hospital.....Lily is her usual happy self. They upped her dose of keppra so hopefully this does the trick. Time to sleep a bit.

*hugs* hope the meds work and she doesn't have any follow-up ones in the near future!

 

[Colleen27]

(((Hugs))) I hope it was just a one-off thing and the meds adjustment keeps it from happening again.

 

[Mom2mitokids]

Checking on how Lily is doing?

 

[Redwavess]

Oh so sorry to hear that she had a seizure. I'm going to say so prayers for Lily and all of you. I hope this will be it for you.

((((Hugs)))))

Hey I just got back from visiting your blog and voting for the Pepsi grant. Your story is so touching. I am sorry for all you have gone through.

I hope the funding will come through and give more hope to those special kids.

(((Hugs))),
