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

[lmillercrew]

Hi GRACE!! So sorry to hear about Corrie and her husband, and especially her job. What terrible timing! It's good for her that she has a supportive family!
Your ADRs are looking fantastic! My sisters ADR date is the same as yours. I'm thinking that I'll be making the phone call for her. She has much anxiety over planning this trip.
Congrats on the garage sale!

 

[Grace and Mickey]

Your Tinkerbell gifts look great! I have never done them, so I don't have any suggestions on how to do it.
You guys are going to have a great time! All of your planning will soon pay off.

Welcome home Rose!

Good morning Lisa
I did enjoy my Memorial Day. I got some flowers, planted and worked on a new flower bed. We went to DD#2 in- laws for a cook out. We have had some good corn on the cob this year already and we got it from Walmart
How are your sister plans coming?
Our trips are getting closer
Have a good day, and hope to talk to you soon

Hey Grace!

Landen is ADORABLE! Just too cute!! I don't think you could bore us with any pictures!

I'm so sorry to hear about Corri. That's terrible. Hopefully it will all work out for the best for everyone involved. That's all you can pray for. Sometimes on the budget board they will have threads about work from home jobs if she's interested in that type of thing to work around her being at home.

Love the Tink gifts! I would check out the Creative DISigns board here on the DIS and see if anyone can make you little notes from Tink (or Mickey or whoever) for your little gift bags once you've got them together. I'm sure if you provided the details, they could come up with something cute. If I still had my computer, I would so do it for you but I'm computerless at the moment.

As for "adult" Tink gifts, you could do Disney dollars (get them on like your first day), Disney gift cards, something for the trip she'd want but wouldn't buy herself (new sneakers, socks, hat, whatever she's into). The Hallmark store here also has some very cute Disney stuff - albums and magnets and stuff like that. They're Hallmark products so you can probably get them at any of the stores.

When Tink leaves your gifts is up to you. She could stop by while Landen's in the tub, when you come back to your room, when you wake up in the morning, whatever works into her schedule. If you're taking a bag to the park, she could always leave something in there too as a surprise.

Like your ADRs. I've got to figure out ours for our Sept trip. I'll probably hold off on getting a Disney birthday cake until Sept because that's when Dan's mom and our friends will be there so we'll be able to enjoy it with everyone.

Glad you're getting excited. September will be here before you know it! It's amazing how quickly time flies. July sounds so far away but when I sit down and think about it, it's really not that far at al!

Thanks Lynn I think he Ardorable too!!!!!
We have been saying alot of prayers and I do believe that everything will work out for the best. She went to looking at a school today, she thinking of going backing to learn ultasound, she has a dregree in finiace.
I tell her about the thead on the budget board, She does do Expo TV.
Thanks for the "tinkerbell'igft ideas, just want to something special for Corri.
When do think you might get a new computer?
I'm very excited about my ARD's It means I will be in DOUBLE DIGETS
And July is NOT very far away. You have about 50 days yet???


Have a good day!
Grace

 

[englishrose47]

I hadn't thought aboutTink gifts for Judy but that is a great idea , Can't be food though an money is tight so I will need to be inventive !!! I hve most of th gifts for the 3 kids I hve 2 foam Tinkerbells from previous trip so I need to find some plain colored gifts bags to attach them too !! I thought I would see if I could get the front desk at Pop to give the kids the bags with the first gift and a note saying more to follow ! The girls will know teens aren't that easily fooled but Kyle will be thrilled !!

50 days today! WOOHOO! In 49 days we'll be in FL! Hopefully it's sunny and warm but not too hot!

Who knows on the computer....if we skipped our July trip I could use the money I've saved for the trip for the computer but I really want to go. I'm sure it will be sooner than later. It's amazing that things always manage to work themselves out. If I get one before your trip I will gladly help you to make some stuff for sure!

It's good that Cori has lots of options - that's always a good thing and helps when you're looking for something new to do.

Have a super day!

Working on our countdown chain

Have a good day everyone
Grace

 

[Grace and Mickey]

Here's my 100 day countdown chain I just cut strips of colored paper, punched mickey heads, on the strips we wrote WDW triva, places we planning on eating , charcters names, what we are celebrating. info on trip, etc. each strip has something written or colored by Landen on it. I put punched out Mickey heads with the # of the day on each strip. I think it came out GREAT

 

[Grace and Mickey]

Here's one of Corri and Landen working on chain,

Finished chain

Love the pix Grace !!!

 

[newtodis]

Love the pictures!!

Here's the link to the packing list that I use:

http://www.mousesavers.com/UltimatePackingList.doc

It's been really helpful for me!

I also use this list:

http://www.themouseforless.com/downloads/trip/UltimatePackingList/UltimatePackingList-.doc

I'm sure you don't need both of them...I usually just pick one of them and go from there!

Hopefully that helps a little bit!!

I had a list of picture spots saved on my other computer but it's sadly gone with the computer.... I also had a list of "freebies" to do in the parks and that's gone as well...

Another site I use a lot for reference (especially for photopass) is http://www.stitchkingdom.com/. It's a site by a DISer and it's always been pretty helpful for me.

Alright...can't be hanging out on the DIS on Dan's work computer....
