My Thank-you Thread ( with a ton of pictures) added post #22 &26

[Fantasmiss]

I'm new to the DISign threat, and would LOVE to make a journal like the one you did if possible... I'm an artist myself, so my standards are probably high, but that is really good work! You mentioned one of the other designs is in "Natalie's shared folder", would the documents I'd need to make a journal be the same place? Could you please tell me how/where could I find that folder?

Just wanted to add a couple more pics on!

I have booked the Richard Petty Drivealong ( couldn't afford the experience unfortunately) for DH as a surprise for our 10th Wedding Anniversary which is a few days after we return so I used a few more of Natalies Designs to come up with the surprise! Here they are!

I've also made a picture itinerary for my son who is Autistic using various cliparts:

and a social story about getting to the airport and the flight:

There are about 20 pages for this social story so haven't took pictures of them all!

Hey there!

Yes if you look in Natalies Share file its under Journals and the files are split into the relative parks! Be warned her designs are addictive!!

here the link to Natalies share folder:

Thank you!

I'm normally good with computer stuff, but I can't find any way of downloading the documents for the journal all at once... So I assume I have to download them one at a time?

Hope you'll have a great trip!

I'm afraid so! It was very time consuming but soooo worth it!

Thanks

Just wanted to add on some pictures of the goody bags that I have made up for the kids and Mum with things for the car journey and the flight! We are having a wee family get together tomorrow night so I plan on giving them to them then - along with their invitations and t-shirts! I also plan on giving DH his surprise gift of the Richard Petty invite!

So not sure if I will get a chance to get back on again or not before we are off on Sunday so massive THANK-YOU again to all it really is appreciated!

Here they are!

Thanks again!

2 sleeps to go!!!!

Carreen,

Everything looks so terrific! You have worked to hard to create all of this magic for your family! I hope you take a few moments on your Holiday....just for you! Maybe a Dole Whip on one of the benches in Adventureland while gang rides rides the Magic Carpet! You really deserve it!

Hi there Penny!

I cut them all out with a craft knife! Took ages but was worth it! What I done though was the ones where Natalie had personalised ( star wars, pirates, Mickey heads) I took the names and cut and paste them into a word document first. I then printed them all off on one sheet of Light transfer paper as I didn't want the white from the dark to show up on the coloured t-shirts and then cut them out with a craft knife and ironed them on seperately.

The pictures ( Mickey heads and Stars) were printed out on Dark Transfer Paper, again cut out with a craft knife. The Star designs are Natalies but I did the names for those ones again on light transfer paper.

Thanks so much for your kind words!

Well you will know like any other Mum it just brings me joy to do all this for my kids ( and my Mum! ) so seeing there faces as we enter Magic Kingdom for the first time will be enough for me but I will try my best to take a moment for me as well!

Thanks again!

I love it all! We're taking our first trip at the beginning of the year and I want to do many of the things you did (journals, gift bags, name tags, etc.). Great inspiration and HAVE FUN!

Very inspirational. Was wondering about the goody bags... were the bags themselves bought or made and if you did make them how did you iron on the transfer without melting the bag? We wanted to do this as well, but were not sure how to do it? Did you find the design or if you bought them that way, that answers all questions above.

Those look great! I especially love the little journals

There is ONE thing though...on your autograph book you have an apostrophe in the word "Autographs." You don't need one! Sorry, I'm a grammar geek!

 

[mycutiepatooties]

OMGosh Carreen! You are the best mum ever!!!!!!! Your family is going to flip when they see all the special things you've done. I love the social story too--I'm a speech therapist so I've written many in my days. We'll be in WDW 12/5-12/14 and now I'm inspired to try and make a few things myself. Thank you sharing all your pictures!

Natalie's disigns are beyond amazing! I'm in awe.

I'm afraid i'm not talented enough to have made them hun! I bought them from the Disneystore think they were approx $6-7 each! Thanks though!

Don't know about being the best Mum ever but I am trying!
I always worry about doing Social Stories as I never know if I'm doing them right! But thank-you!

Natalie is the best! I hope you manage to get a few things made for your trip as well - have a great time!

I LOVE all of the things you have made! I am not creative at all and I want to try and make the journals for my children, but I have a few questions. Where did you find the invitations and also the covers for the journals?

Thanks!!!

 

[disney-a-holic]
