XLT800 I go to college part time and start back the 21st with my kids.


Dana hope the concert was great!

I just was e-mailed some door magnets JPEGS that I am going to print for our stateroom door. I can post them if anyone wants to see them.
The DISer who does this is so sweet and does this out of the goodness of her heart. I am using 4 she designed for us and I am going to try to design 3 on my own with the kids.

Hey yall...Happy Monday!

Concert was great...as if it wouldn't be. I even saw a real pirate...eye patch and parrott! Hehehe...

Hope everyone had great weekends. I can't believe the summer is almost over...I'll be going back to school myself at the end of this month...going back to college to finish my Bachelors/Masters degrees. So I know how you feel Bev...

Well...have a great day!

Bev, it's asking for a password...

 

[soccerfreak_08]

I don't know which ones she wanted to put up or I would put the links on. I will let her know though when she gets in though. I got in just fine though... (I know the password)

WOW! I can't believe all I have missed. I just got thru reading about 6 to 7 pages to catch up.

welcome to all the newcomers!

seagee, thanks for making the list of everyone on this boards.

Kevin, Thanks alot for the Yahoo group & congrat's on your weekend cruise!

Jenny2. I think you & your DH are going to have a wonderful time cruising sans kids. My DH & I went last October w/out our 3 munchkins ( it was our 2nd DIS cruise, but 1st by ourselves) & they were divided up between both sets of Grandparents too. We had a wonderful time, but are excited to do it again with the kids. So, enjoy!

Well, I am going to have to make a better effort to be more attentive to the boards, this just isn't like me. I am usually pretty fanatical about this & my friends & DH usually give me a hard time about my "obsessive" behaviour of anything relating to DCL.

Well, have a good Tuesday everyone!

 

[bevtoy]

OK I will just post 2 signs: I can post more signs later if you like. Th lady that did this has joined our group website so you can contact her from there.

 

[Tinker326]

I love the signs...thanks for sharing!

Do you (or the lady who made them) create them on the computer & then print them on magnetic paper? Or just laminate & attach magnets?

Typically (having never been on a Disney cruise) do people post a different one for each night? This sounds like something fun to do while passing the long 14 months till cruise time! This & that chain I've yet to start.

I like your sign(s) Bev.

The lady who did this (my3princes or brooksfabfive) makes the graphics and sent them to me, I have laser compatable magnetic sheets that I am going to print them on, I want one theme for each night of the cruise, and maybe a few little ones with a lime green Micky. I have saved some fun graphics including some pirates ones. I think you could use laminated prints and attach magnets strips to the back.... I was reading here on the board that some are having trouble with people removing their magnets. Thats why the designer put our names on them, hope fully no on will want a magnet that has someone else name on it, and they are priceless to me for the sentimental value.

 

[jenny2]

Wonderful magnets Bev! I haven't started making mine yet - my DH keeps asking me what's wrong. He figured I'd already be done by now, lol.

 

[DMoss3377]

Great Tags! If I have time, I think I'll try to make up some for me and the girls. If I have time...what am I saying...I have over a year!!!

Right now I have 2 semi-confirmed gals joining me. Lisa and Janet...I'm working on getting them to register and join in on our thread.

Well...back to work. Have a great day y'all!

 

[bevtoy]

Here are three more door signs. I am going to be gone until the 21st or so. Cape San Blas FLorida, we are going to try para sailing. See everyone later! Not my creations, I found the lime green Mickey in another thread, and the same lady that created my anniversary door sign also created my girls names. She can create names with your favorite charecters inside them. See you all later!

 

[jenny2]

Very cute!! I can't wait to get started on making some magnets

Starting in 4 1/2 hours I'm on vacation!! We've got some day trips planned to the zoo and Six Flags, and then we're camping at the beach next weekend. I'm dreaming of a nice, relaxing week... but I'm thinking I'll be rushing around, cleaning the camper, buying snacks, all that stuff, lol.

Oh well... it's still vacation!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

 

[DMoss3377]

Happy Monday! I know...that somehow just never sounds right....

Anyway...hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather here was GORGEOUS...couldn't keep me inside all weekend if you tried. I'm squeezing in as much as I can now before classes start up.

On a side note...someone really needs to shoot me...I always have a tendency to over-extend myself. I promised myself that since I was going back to college this fall I would cut back on some of my other extracurricular activities. Yeah...right...like I could do that. I coach a high school competition cheerleading squad and I was going to resign this year, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. So I've got tryouts today and tomorrow to judge and then the season starts. I know I'm crazy... By the time this cruise comes around, I will definitely need the break. I think that's why I love cruising so much...it forces you to totally disconnect...your in the middle of the ocean for gosh sakes...you can't get more disconnected than that!

Well...hope everyone has a great day!

 

[jenny2]

You ARE crazy Dana! I cheered in high school for football, basketball and comps. And it sucks up alot of your time. I remember our coach saying every year "this is going to be my last year" and yet every year she'd return, lol.

This weekend was wonderful!! We went to the zoo yesterday, and it was almost like fall weather. So nice

After several days to recoup from our 31 mile backpacking trip on Isle Royale National Park; thinking again about our first (DW, DS - 15 yrs at cruise time and me) 7 night cruise. Only 13+ short months away. What else can I do to make the time pass by quicker? That doesn't require carrying 40 pounds on my back for 31 miles

 

[Tinker326]

How about starting to make door signs like some others are doing on the board? I've been taking a look on the Dis Creative Signs board to get some ideas of what I can do for my door!

I'm also thinking of making matching shirts for embarkation day- although my hubby may refuse to wear it. He's not into 'matching' disney shirts. Especially homemade ones. Oh well, I got 13 months to work on him!

I always heard that Isle Royale National Park is supposed to be beautiful! I bet those 31 miles of backpacking were breathtaking! I'm looking forward to when my kids are a bit older & we can get back out camping/hiking again.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I think we are going to head to the Air & Water Show in Chicago this weekend & fight those crowds. It's an amazing show & the weather is supposed to be perfect!

Unforturnately I have a tough time drawing stick figures. My wife and son have the talent. I should see if they would be interested in coming up with a design.

I have a brother in-law that has a family run screen printing business and have thought of this; but again same problem as above.

If you like hard work with big rewards Isle Royale is a great place to go. Some of the most beautiful views you'll find anywhere. We had a cow and calf moose eating off the shrubs in the site next to us our first morning. She didn't mind us and we didn't bother her and the young one. When they were done they walked out following a path at the edge of our camp. Boundry Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is another place worth going. I love everything Disney but sometimes you just need to get away from it all.

Well we are home from vacation and I feel refreshed. My oldest daughter and I tried para sailing and it was awsome! 4 miles long and 1200 feet in the air!
I was really surprised at how great it was! We had a wonderful time and no one got a serious sunburn. I caught 3 blue crabs, took a ton of photos of family and nature! I am definately going to try para sailing on the cruise!
I also tested my underwater camera bag and a waterproof belly bag and they passed with flying colors! Whats everyone else been up to?
