Making Madicial Family Memories Together, Celebrating our 35th anniversary!

I've got the Cricut-got a super good deal on Black Friday last year. There's bound to be another this year-I've already seen the prices dropping throughout the year. The cartridges will probably be on sale again too. I've got the Xyron sticker maker (a big and small one) and they come in handy a lot! Personally, I use the smaller one a lot more than the bigger one so maybe start there. It runs about $10 but if you find one of those stores (Micheal's as an example) that uses the 40% off coupons, it'll be a lot cheaper than that. Then when you don't have anything else to use the coupons on in the future, just use them to buy the refills for the machine that way you're stocked up.

Good Morning Grace !! Wow you are on Page 5 now !!I:

I just use the small zyron refills. I don't even have the machine. It saves money and you don't really need the outside of it. If I could afford the Cricut, I would get one,but my BFF has one so I can use it whenever I need or want to.

Good morning Friends
Hi Lynn

Grace

 

[newtodis]

Good Morning!

Hope the chores are going well! I've gotten the spare room, boy's bathroom and boy's bedroom cleaned up already this morning! I just got them down for a nap so I'm thinking once they go to sleep I'm going to lay down too. Then, I've still got the livingroom, kitchen, playroom and my room to get cleaned this afternoon.

Lisa-it was so nice in MI. My best friend has a cricut too and we "shared" our stuff...doesn't work out so well now!

Alright...they're quiet so I think I'm safe to lay down!

 

[Grace and Mickey]

Good afternoon Have a few minutes between and making supper!
Will try to catch up on today post. See you all soon

We had a great night! Our football team won again tonight 48-14. We are ranked #6 in the state, in our division of course.
Do you have the Disney cartridge for the Cricut? If you didn't want to get the paint chips, I have a large Mickey head punch that you could use, well you could find one in your neck of the woods, and put them on cardstock. Either way would work. It was a lot of fun. Your GS is very young, too young to understand Disney dollars. That's what I've done in the past is buy DIsney dollars for the kids and put them in their own envelopes. They like that.
Gotta go to bed now. Hope you had a great night! I'm flattered that you want to use my idea! Thank you

Yea! team! great score!
I don't have a Circut yet ( was hopping Santa might bring one)
Good Idea!!!! I have that large Mickey head punch too!! I did not think about use it for the calendar, THANKS
I did make my Own Disney Dollars for our party. Landen did like giving them out, and your right he doesn't understand what they are.
Your welcome, that why I love it here on the DIS everyone is willing to share advice and information and encouragement. It just proves that there are still lots of good people in the world and you are one of them!

Have to have put my request into I shop at Micheals a lot and we have a Hobby Lobby opening on Monday. I was supposed to go croping with my daughter tonite but had to much to do today. It's a creative memories crop I remember you said you used to be one. Other daughter is watching Grandson so she can go. They just stop and are going to pick pumpkins. and Landen goeing to get one for grammy and papa.

You're so nice to say that I'm nice! Aparantly you don't know me so well You guys are the cleaning fools! I did a load of laundry, my dishes, and straightened up the living room for the 15th time today. I don't like to clean on Sat because everybody is home and in my way. Who am I kidding, I don't like to clean ANY day!! But, when I worked full time cleaning day was Saturday because that' when I had the time and energy to it. Good job you guys!!
My youngest is going to the first cheerleading competition of our season this weekend in Columbus. They have come a long way as a group and are looking really good. If you've never been or seen one of those competitions, it is incredible and really fun to watch. My DH doesn't enjoy sitting there all day watching it, but I do.

Here is DD Abby at our last competition this past spring. Her stunt group placed 2nd. I was so proud. They all look so cute in their uniforms!
K, I can't figure out why the top picture is sideways!!! I fixed it in Picasa, and I fixed on Photobucket! It shows it right side up on Photobucket too. UGH!!! Well, Abby is the one on the top

You have been very nice to me! I work Wed, Thurs, Fri, and Sun 9-5 and Mon and Tues. I watch Landen at his house, so Sat is the only day I can get things done. I am head tech at the one hour photo at Discount Drug Mart.
I have seen some cheerleading competitions on TV I always wish thery show more. I can only see two pictures one of three girls, and one of Abby
She very pretty Maybe if they have a competion near Kent/Akron my daughters and I might be able to come. Maybe they will go far enough to compete at WDW

What is your other daughter name and son too.
My daughters #1 Corrina ( we call her Corri) she 32

I agree with the fool part (about me of course!) I just got back from getting the boy's hair cut (I'll have to take a picture tonight to share) and got the livingroom picked up and vaccumed. I really should dust and such but I'm not feeling up to it tonight! They're having dinner so I guess I should clean the kitchen next. They probably need a bath tonight too...


Grace----that's too bad that you can't go tonight. Housework will be there tomorrow. I can't wait to take the boys to get pumpkins. There were HUGE ones at the grocery store the other day.

Alright...off for more cleaning!

 

[lmillercrew]

Grace, I don't know what happened to my pics. When I first looked at them, the top one was sideways and now it's upright. Oh well. I will always be nice to you and my friends on the DIS.
My oldest DD is Katie and she is 17 and a Junior. My son is Travis and he is 15and a freshman. Then Abby who is 9.
Did you find a big pumpkin tonight? I thought I read that somewhere. We haven't gotten ours yet. I haven't even gotten out my Halloween decorations. Last year I didn't decorate for Halloween at all because of Harvey's injury. I was his nurse, bath giver, and driver for quite a while, plus taking care of all the other mom things. I was very tired this time last year. Part of the decoration issue is that I have to get under the stairs and you know how those things go. You have to take everything out and put everything back within 3 weeks time. It's such a pain in my arss. But my DSIL and her family are coming for Halloween, so I suppose I should look somewhat festive.
Have a great night!!

So if they win first place, that team goes to Disney to compete? That would be so fun! We are a small group of 16 girls. It's a new gym and so of course we want more people to join, but they have fun and really love each other. We won't go to Orlando to compete, our coach doesn't want it to so expensive. We are only doing four competitions this year, which is o.k. for me. It can get SO expensive, but it's a lot of fun.

 

[englishrose47]

It's a competition in Canada that the winning team gets to compete in Disney! They were 2nd last year!! Youmare right it gets expensive !!Practise at least 3 timesa week and then cheering on the weekend for the football teamand then the competitions !!

WOW! How exciting! I hope they get to go this year!!!

 

[newtodis]

How's the planning coming Grace? I'm borrowing your Disney night idea for our Dec trip!!! We're going to get together with them in the next few weeks and try to figure out what we're going to do so we're all on the same page. I'm probably going to shop at Kroger since they have a lot of Disney brand products.

Hope all's going well!!

 

[lmillercrew]

Have a great Tuesday Grace!!!

 

[newtodis]

Are you ok? We haven't heard from you in a couple of days! Hope all is well!!
