Kara:
I am new to the boards and have seen this and need a little help. Do you pay for the designs from the boards and who did you use? I just loved your shirts in these photos.
Thanks for the help!
Oh, I have read that you are the upgrade queen, can you seed some good vibes for our trip at Thanksgiving. We are going to AKL....loved your report on here.
No, you don't pay the designers anything. In fact, that's the only way they are "allowed" the copyright infringement. Just go to the creative DISigns thread and search some of the threads there, or post a new thread, asking the designers to help you out. I have so many great designs from them. I've done invitations, surprise Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique invitations, shirts, etc. They are GREAT over there!
And here's some upgrade mojo for you!!!

It worked for someone last week!!!! Sadly, not me.....
Just sat down after entering laundry hell and inhaling a pizza, bathing the kids, and tucking in DH and now I'm starting my trip report while catching up on my DVR'd shows. Bliss!
I'm going to check out your TR now!!!!
Hi girls! Having a nice weekend with Jim home.

We did yard work yesterday - put in my annuals in the front. We have a rule here - don't plant B4 Memorial Day. Jim got the yard cleaned up really nice and fixed the sandbox for the kiddos. We went out for dinner and saw Terminator last night.
Today, we've been playing with the babies - took them to the park. Mark and Lindz got a U-Haul truck and emptied out their storage unit - into my yard and den

They are selling most of it at a yard sale, so they are re-packing and getting organized. We're going out to see my Ps and probably Jim's in a few. I just had to come in and rest for awhile. Not used to the sun!
Tomorrow, we're going to see my Uncle and Aunt who aren't doing well, and then maybe BBQ. We'd like to see Ryan, but he's always so busy. We'll see. Jim leaves on Tuesday.
Lorrie - I'm sorry, but I think I would pick the 4 days ocean front. Two days at Disney just doesn't seem like enough to me. I just found your TR last night - I don't know why I didn't see it before
I'll be back to post on it when I'm caught up.
Kara - how is the landscaping coming along? I am so pissed at your BSIL. Yesterday when I read that I was just fuming! There is no excuse.
I would not vacation with them again.
Lydia - Welcome home. Sorry about the rain - I'm off to check our your TR!
Cammie - glad you're having a nice weekend!
Hi to everyone else - gotta check out Lydia's TR and then hit the shower.
Tammie - enjoy your time with Jim and the babies too!!! When are they planning to move?
Ok everyone put their hands up in the air as we ride down the roller coaster ride that is my Disney planning right now!! WHEEE!!
So we've finally made the decision to DEFINITELY go to Disney!! HOORAY!! But the when has turned into a problem. My DH is a letter carrier and they have to plan out their vacations in October the previous year and there's usually no changes allowed. So here we are in May looking at August trying to see if we can make changes.
DH had the last week in August into September for vacation, but we don't know when school starts and DD9 is going to middle school so we're stressed out about that. Then there's the week before that 23-29 - there are some days off available in that week, but I'm suppose to watch my friends kids in exchange for her watching my kids. Then there's the week before that August 16-22 and there's some days available and some not.
CRAZY!! We finally decided to go and now the days are making me crazy!! I can't even make ADRs now.

I'm sorry to be so selfish about this craziness but it makes me so sad to now be able to go and not be able to go.
Tina - you should know we're all about roller coaster rides here...... seems we're always changing trip plans, but YEA on the definitely trip in the future!!!!
As for my roller coaster, I have a realtor coming out this week to give us an idea what they would list our house for. I think that is going to scare Jeff's company, cause we bought at the top of the market here in FL, and it has crashed big time. They would need to pay us what we paid for thehouse, plus the outdoor patio enclosure we put on back. Then I know they would take a HUGE hit to try and sell. It's something we all laugh at out here, as we get sick to our stomachs. The only great thing about moving, is that his company would basically bail us out of our house right now. And we could get a much nicer home there, for less money......
BUT I love it here! We're heading to our weekend vacation spot right now - the pool!!! I need to get some good pics and post. It's like no place I've ever seen before. Once we found this subdivision, we didn't even look at any place else. It seriously reminds us of a disney resort area. HOnestly.
Ally's infection is finally starting to heal a bit. She's on antibiotics but it always seems to get worse before it gets better. And she was contagious for the first 24 hrs so we couldn't do much on Saturday.
Then yesterday it..... wait for it...... RAINED! Most of the day in fact. We worked in the yard a bit in the early afternoon, then went out to play 9 holes of golf with our neighbors. I was playing the best EVER!!!! And we saw lightening way off in the distance. That was our queue to leave. I was so mad!!!! Stupid rain! I didn't mind playing in the rain, just no storms.
So, hope everyone is having a good weekend so far!
