So let me see if I have this right.

I load the tiller in the SUV early tomorrow morning.

Drive to Millagers for the mini-WI cruise meet.

Drive to Nancy's and till her garden.

Drive to Cheryl's and till/create her gardern.

Go with Cheryl to Red Robin.

Come home and finally get Suz' garden tilled.

Did I get that all correct?

I don't believe I saw my name on your list!!!
Were you coming in Sunday??

Little one is off to bed and it is just me and the computer tonight. How is everyone doing?

People just make their own! You can make a design in any design software and then you print it out on magnetic paper. Do you have any kind of design software? Like printshop or photoshop elements or Printmaster?

Do you have a decent printer?

If you are completely lost, then I can help you out if you want! Let me know

Ok so the first question is where do you buy the paper? I used to have print shop, I will have to check because I don't see it on this computer maybe it was my old computer that had it. I will let you know.

Carrie, you can get magnetic paper at Walmart (cheapest I found in retail) or Office Max, Staples etc. It's a little over a $1.00 each at Walmart. They come in packs of 5, 10, or 25.

I have 3 places that I store CD's so I looked through the first place and did not find printshop. I found a lot of photo programs and label programs. But then I found a CD that my mother gave me years ago and I never installed it. It is called Print Artist Disney Mickey and Friends. So I am looking at that right now.

Carrie, that's exactly the one I have but I found it didn't work well with my Windows. The one I have is for windows 95 and it was a little tough to manuever with my computer. All I got were buttons to click on and no explanation as to what they were for. I did read on the main cruise DIS threads that others were having the same problems with this software. Try it out though. I hope you have better luck than I did.

Thank you so much I will add it to my list of things to get there tomorrow.

Carrie, I've also seen where people print their signs on paper, then laminate them and use the peel-n-stick magnets from a craft store instead of purchasing the pricey magnetic paper.

Hey Carrie! I was just thinking. How come I'm watching the Suns game and you're not?

Thanks for the warning. My computer is a dinosour and has issues with everything. Right now I can put the pointer over an icon and it tells me what it is. However I am not happy with the font selection. Do you know where I could get the Disney font to download. I know I know I don't want much do I. A cheap sign for my daughter
the disney font
at least 2 pictures on it
has to be in pink in some way
This is what happens when I have to much time on my hands.

I am not a sports person at all. I will watch figure skating, diving, swimming, some wrestling, tennis (only if I am bored), and bowling. The rest of the sports I just don't understand. That and I much rather spend my time DIS

 

[cntkg1]

Well, I'm off to watch the game for both of us then. Have fun with your magnets.

What a great idea. I am not a crafty person at all. That is an excellent idea. Now I found a font and downloaded it to my computer. If I can figure out how to load it into the program that would be great.

If you have installed the new font into your windows/fonts folder then you don't have to do anything. Restart your program and in the fonts list, it should be there.

Thank you I had just found that one and d/l it to my computer now I am trying to figure out how to get it in the program. I guess I am not the best at computer stuff either.

 

[Timon]

Have you installed the font?

 

[MinnMick01]

Have you installed the font?

No I am still trying to find the font folder to put it in.

 

[Timon]

Go to your C: drive
Open Windows folder
Open fonts folder
Click on File --->install new font

Find the font you want installed and click OK

That help?

Gotta go work my butt off on my elliptical....

Good luck with your door sign!
