THAT is the most adorable dress ever!! Oh my goodness!! And I vote 2 pockets

I also vote I need a girl child!

Thanks you! and yes you need a girl child! They are soooo much fun!

I love her dress! It's so adorable and I think the two pockets are nice. Adds a little pop of color on the darker skirt.

And I am so happy to have a friend to talk sewing with too! I've never had any other friends who sew and I love that I can ask you for advice!! I'm going to have to find that tutorial. Those are super cute towels. How funny would it be to make a big one for your SIL! My MIL LOVES Mike (I tried to get her to go to Disney with us by bribing her with a visit to Mike right away but she still said no ). I might have to make her some sort of mike towel as a gift this year!

Thank you! I think two pockets is best too! I was so nervous that it would be hard to get them lined up correctly. But, it was not as bad as I thought.

SIL would crack up if I made her a Mike towel! That is a good idea for Christmas next year! I hope somedya I can get her to Disney with us, but my in-laws are not theme park people!

2 pockets for sure! Soooooooo adorable! I absolutely love it!

Thank you! I think I like the two pockets too! Charlotte won't even know the difference a few weeks from now when she has to wear it.

Here I am with another quick update!
This has been an exciting Dis filled week so far!

First, on Monday and a fabulous package arrived! Denovagirl painted some beautiful shoes for Charlotte and I! Here is a pic of mine:

I love them so so so so much! I have not taken a pic of Charlotte's but rest assured she loves hers as well! She can not wear them until our trip, but she keeps them on the floor next to her bed when she sleeps and they have to be in her presence at all times! I can't wait for Terri to receive her package of pixie dust from us!

This week some other local disers and I had another fabulous dismeet! Our kids are becoming friends now! It is so much fun to get to know some dis friends in real life as well! I have said it before but, Disney people really are the nicest people you will ever meet!

Now a little vent... What is up with the Frozen merchandise being so hard to find! I get they didn't anticipate such high demand, but the movie has been out for 5 months, they haven't caught up yet!? I had the hardest time trying to decide what to put in Charlotte's Easter basket and she mentioned she would love to have a Frozen doll. At first she said Elsa was the one she wanted. Uh, yeah right? That was not happening. So, with a little "subtle" persuasion I talked Charlotte into perfering Anna. It was not hard to do. She LOVES the song Love is and Open Door and since Anna sings it, she decided (or I talked her into) wanting an Anna doll. Okay so that was more doable. Then, I set out to find one. At first I only found the Barbie type doll. So I got that, the last one at Target. But, then I started thinking, she would prefer playing with the toddler doll. I returned the Barbie type doll and I set out to find the toddler style doll. Finally, I found one at Toys R Us.com. I ordered it on Sunday and I am now sitting on my crossed fingers that it comes in by Saturday. It is supposed to be here tomorrow, but you never know! I also wanted to get her a tee-shirt to go with the doll. I was at Target and they didn't have any. I didn't want to do any more online ordering so I just decided to make one. The shirt needed shorts to go with it, so Charlotte will also be getting this Elsa outfit in her basket:

I think she will like it. I don't think this is one she will be wearing on the trip, just a summer outfit.

Well, that is all I have for now!

We will be staying at the Boardwalk Inn September 21-29
We are driving down and leaving on the 20th... which will be an adventure in itself with 4 kids

I have been trying to decide if I want to do a PTR since I love reading all the reports and I have so many ideas floating around in my head

I LOVE all your custom outfits for your DD and your family movie nights! You are very talented and so creative!

 

[AprilRenee]

I loved our Dismeet too! I enjoy chatting with you guys so much!

Nice work talking her into Anna! And the little outfit is ADORABLE!!

 

[anniebabymu]

I am definitely happy to have met all of you! We do have some fun Dismeets! It's nice that the kids do such a great job of playing with each other and keeping each other entertained so us mommas can talk! It will be fun to have Addie and Hannah join the mix this summer!

Charlotte will love the toddler doll! Harper got one for Christmas from my aunt!

I love that shirt!! You have an embroidery machine, right?? If so, which one do you have? I'd LOVE one!

 

[STLMickeyMom]

I love your shoes! we got ours that night and maddie wore hers yesterday to school. the first thing she said this morning was "where are my shoes?!?" and then threw a minor fit because I wouldn't let her wear them again. gotta find a hiding place until Disney!

a little parental persuasion on the anna doll--very smart! she'll love the toddler one--maddie plays with hers a lot. my fingers are crossed it gets here soon!

the elsa outfit is adorable! where did you find the fabric for the skirt? very cute!

 

[Pylegirl]

Oh so excited I found your pretrip! We just joined and started our pretrip 400+ days, we are actually going June 2015. I love all your photos, ideas, etc and can't wait to keep reading!

Ooh you should totally do a PTR, I would totally read it! I would love to hear all about your plans!

We wanted to drive, but it's just too much for a short trip. I am sure you all will have a great drive!

Thank you! I really love keeping my family in the Disney sprit all the time!

I loved our Dismeet too! I enjoy chatting with you guys so much!

Nice work talking her into Anna! And the little outfit is ADORABLE!!

Yes, it is soooo nice talking to adults and such nice ones at that! Plus it's nice to have people who are as interested in Disney as I am to talk to!
Thanks I was pleased with that outfit! I am going to keep using my powers of parental persuasion as long as I can!

Haha that is so funny! I hid Charlottes today and she was furious! But they have to stay clean until the trip!

The doll came today! I am so relieved! I can't wait for Charlotte to get it!

Thank you! The fabric was from JoAnns I wanted aqua chevron and that was all they had but it worked out!

Yes that is so true! I can't wait to meet Addie and. Harper! I can not wait to give her the doll! I am going to enjoy seeing her play with it as much as she does!

Thank you! Yes I have an embroidery machine, I wish I could do all that hand appliqué! I have an older baby lock. They are expensive but it was one of the best things I have ever purchased! I used it everyday and love it!

Oh so excited I found your pretrip! We just joined and started our pretrip 400+ days, we are actually going June 2015. I love all your photos, ideas, etc and can't wait to keep reading!

I am glad to have you along! It's never too early to start planning right? Do you have a PTR going? I would love to follow along! Thanks for reading!

 

[Tinker326]

Have I said it lately? I don't think I have in the last few days...

YOU ARE SO TALENTED!!! I am blown away!

LOVE THE ELSA OUTFIT!

What a great Easter Charlotte will have! I could not find Frozen stuff anywhere either... I had a cousin, in a different state, get the LAST Elsa/Anna shirt from Disney store and mail it to me. Our Disney store has been out for MONTHS.

And what fun doing a St. Louis meetup. Dismeets are always a blast!

 

[Pylegirl]

Yes I just started a Pre Trip still learning how to quote (lol) and I have not made enough post to post photos YET. I really thought it was just our small town Iowa that was out of Frozen stuff...sadly it seems to be everyone. We are trying to keep our trip a surprise until Christmas and then want to do monthly themed dinners until we leave. It's going to take some planning! Thanks again your outfits are absolutely adorable!

 

[STLMickeyMom]

Thank you for telling me about your PTR! HI from the STL!

oohhh! another STL Disney person! hi!

(sorry for butting in on your PTR, Jackie! got excited when I saw another STL person!)

 

[Pylegirl]

Favor can someone tell me how to add photo to my pretrip report?

 

[Jackiemarie21]

I have to apologize to all of you! I don't normally take so long to respond but, its just been one technical issue after another! First, I had responses to all of you all typed out twice and they just disappeared in the dis world somewhere, seriously where did the responses go? Then, Easter came and I was busy preparing a meal for 30, no big deal. Then, my DH stepped on my laptop and busted the screen. It took him two days to remember to bring home a loner from work and finally our internet was out until this afternoon, whew, if its not one thing its another, right?

Favor can someone tell me how to add photo to my pretrip report?

Not sure if anyone has helped you or not. But if not, first, you need to get your photos a URL. You can do this by posting your pics to Facebook or a blog, or posting them on a photo share sight like Photobucket. Once you have uploaded them you right click and click on "copy photo location" Then come to your trip report and click on insert image (the icon that looks like a mountain on the toolbar) and paste the picture location there and it should post. I am sure there are more clear directions out there somewhere, I am not very tech savvy. I hope this helps!

oohhh! another STL Disney person! hi!

(sorry for butting in on your PTR, Jackie! got excited when I saw another STL person!)

Me too! You can butt in anytime!

Nope there is a lack of Frozen stuff everywhere! I don't think I could ever keep a Disney trip a surprise! I talk about it way too much! I can't wait to see how your surprise goes!

Thank you! I have been working on a Belle dress that has been the biggest challenge of my sewing skills to date! I can't wait to share that bad boy, if I ever get it done!

The Frozen stuff is crazy! I just can not understand why they are holding out on the merchandise?

I love our STL meetups, we really have a great group in this area!
