Our 2nd Anniversary Disneymoon - Aug. 30 to Sept. 6! *We're home! 9/7*

I am talking to myself, but I don't mind too much! :laughing:

Only 27 days until Disney!!

Tonight, I am hoping to finish up my shirts. We cut out a bunch of the transfers last night, and we're hoping to transfer them tonight. I am still down one transfer for Raif, since one of the transfers he wanted was a really bizarre size (tiny) and I couldn't get it to resize reasonably. Such is life getting images from the internet, I suppose!

I need to look through more Disigns to get one for him, but it's hard to find adult male appropriate ones that he'd like. Oh well, it's a good project.

Tonight we are going to dinner with one of DH's friends who is moving to Israel. He went to college with us and then was in Israel the same year we were there and really liked the community he came into, so has spent the past two years getting the money together to do it. He's going with a group that helps set you up and ease the transition, so that'll be good for him. He hasn't had an easy life, so I'm glad he has figured out what he wants to do.

Once we get back from dinner though, Raif told me he wanted to go through all of our Disney stuff and figure out where we are and what our next step needs to be and if he can help me with anything. I think with the way work has been going, I want him to go and cancel/get kosher food for our new reservations that I made like two weeks ago. Otherwise, it's just not going to get done. He might be working from home on Friday, which would be a perfect opportunity. That's the only thing I can think of that I really haven't done that needs to be, but I bet there is more.

Otherwise, I bet I will have more for you tonight! If I get a chance, I will post the pictures of the finished shirts as well!!
 
Hey Jess,

Sorry you felt abandoned. I haven't been keeping up with the DISboards as much as I'd like the last couple of weeks. Too much going on. My boys started back to school today, so I should have a little free time in the day now until I start getting sub calls (hopefully sooner than later).

I can't wait to see your T-shirts. I was planning to make some for us too, but I ended up buying so many that it might not be necessary (might do it anyway. We'll see how time goes).

How exciting for your friend to see the result of something he's worked for for two years!

SOOO excited for you that you are under 30 days (I think we're at 45 using Lisa's system of not counting today or the day you're leaving). :cool1:

So I'll JUST have time to read the beginning of your TR before I leave. Hope Raif gets the meal ressies figured out!
 
Heather, don't worry about it. I don't mind talking to myself too much.

Last night, after a very nice dinner, we came home and talked about some Disney stuff. We were too lazy to actually do the transfers, but I did finish cutting them out, so hopefully tonight? How many times can I say that? :laughing:

I did send my husband a list of things for him to do on Friday since he'll be working from home. I have him doing the Disney dining stuff, double checking our reservaton for the limo company taking us to the airport, and talking to people about who will take the birds while we are in Florida - 8 days is a long time to bird-sit for us! They will definitely be on the souvenir list!

That's another thing I need to figure out - who is getting souvenirs. Both sets of parents, defintiely. The bird sitters. People from the office? Last time we went, I got my big boss and my office mate something, and brought home Florida candy for the rest of the office. Maybe something like that? Something to discuss!
 
Woohoo for Disney stuff!! You'll get those shirts done eventually!! You better get them done soon, I want to see them!! :) That's sweet bringing your fellow workers something back!! I'm getting my boss something too, she really has done so much for me. I think those souveniors are a wonderful idea! Couldn't help you with the specifics, I'm trying to figure out the same thing and I just gave up and hopefully I'll see something on the way!
 

That's really sweet of you to get souveiners for everyone. Thankfully almost everyone I can think of the get something for will be there with me, so I don't really have to worry about it. ;)

Can't wait to see your shirts when you get around to it.

I still can't believe you're under 30 days! I will be too in a couple weeks.

Let us know how the dining stuff goes on Friday.
 
So, we started with a bunch of shirts, and a bunch of cut out transfers, and ended up with a bunch of great shirts!!

I thought I took pictures of the others - there are two more - but not yet! Raif wants another one that he saw here too - so that'll be his second one. And now we have Disney shirts!
 
Very VERY cool!

I love the one with the two halves that make a whole. The one that has the balloons. It's so pretty. Congrats on the shirts.

Just a few more days!
 
Love your shirts!! We are wanting to do something similar for our trip. Where did you find the designs? Do you mind walking me thru the process of getting the design from the computer to the printer? It's sad how computer challenged I am!
 
Okay, I've decided I really want that balloon one for us. I just love it.

I'll put it on the boys' white muscle shirts and get shirts for me and Matt.

LOVE that one. Spill the beans! ;)
 
Hey Jess!
I really like your shirts...I requested the same AK design for our family. I plan to work on our shirts this weekend...I have to buy more ink, I ran out making the autograph cards.

Okay, the first thing to do? Buy the transfers from AmyMickey (amymickey.com). They are GREAT! You need about one per design. Anyway, I got the designs from our very own creative board here: http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=105. I used mostly designs from Donatalie, Kellybell and Jessica. Go to their threads and look in their signatures for links to their photobucket or 4shared sites, so you can get the full size images. In photobucket or 4shared, they have places to download them. Try to download them to a folder, or if you can't do that, just to the Desktop. Somewhere you can find them.

Open them up in a graphics program. I have photoshop, but you don't need it to print them. You can even just insert them into a Word document. Open a new Word document, and go to page setup, landscape. Then insert your design (Insert picture - from file then find it and open). That way you know the proportions on a 8.5 x 11 piece. From there, you print as you normally would from a printer, but taking out the regular paper and feeding one sheet of the transfer paper in at a time. AmyMickey's transfers came with fantastic instructions that worked fabulously, so you don't need my help with that. Also, the great thing about those transfers is that the ironing not only made them stick very, very well but it made the colors brighter and more attractive. I was worried about some of the designs turning out nicely until we did the first one and I saw how much more vibrant they were after the ironing. The other great thing about AmyMickey's transfers is that you don't have to turn anything backwards to print (like traditional transfers).

If you have any more questions or run into problems, let me know. If you just want someone to help you find designs, also let me know.

Okay, so it took a little searching. I didn't think it was a Donatalie design, so I had to hunt out who else I used. It's a Kellybell and here is the link, since it is sort of hidden and harder to find if I didn't remember what it was with:
http://www.4shared.com/file/103064213/71c278ac/celebrate.html

It really came out well - it was a pinch-hitter for something that wasn't printing well on regular paper and it turned out great!

That design is great - I really love it!

Can't believe it's getting so close!!!

Love the tshirts. Especially the Tink one!

Thank you - I really wanted a tink one that looked grown-up enough, since a lot of them are aimed at the younger set. I had one that was a cute line-drawing, but I think I saved the preview and not the big image and I couldn't find it again :( so I had to find something else - and luckily I did!

Well, after a long morning without a computer, we are back up here in the office. We are undergoing upgrades, but our usual IT guy is out with a very sad family emergency and the replacement guy is not nearly as good :( But we are making do, and it is slowly (very slowly) getting done.

I should be doing more work, but it was great to see everyone in here this morning! Much more exciting than work!
 
:thanks: Jess!

That was really nice of you to look up the link for me! I've downloaded it and I'll play with it tonight after the kids are in bed. :)
 
Thanks for the great instructions and the links. There are so many great designs to choose from I don't know what I will do. Gives me a new obsession for the next few days. Thanks again!
 
oh my god, I love all of them!! My favorites are the blue outline mickey one with the balloons, the tink one (absolute favorite), and the black mickey head with mickey one. They all came out so well!! I so should have done that for this trip. I was debating about it and never did it, oh well next trip it shall be!! Really cute, can't wait to see the other one you're making for Raif!
 
THe shirts are way cool. I'd like to know where you got the transfers.We are going to do something similar, but yours are so much better.

Well, the last of the plans are coming together. The TA called and all our documents were in. So, we went and picked them up...This just makes it all that much closer. Have to finish a lot of last minute things yet. Not doing the full school shopping until we get back, since the kids will only go to school for one day. I was a little worried about having them out, but it will be fine. Both kids are keeping daily journals and I have already worked out a homefun (yep that's what our district calls it) plan.

Good luck and pixie dust to everyone embarking on their Mickey adventure:)

I ordered the transfers from AmyMickey.com - very easy to do and they came quickly and were great quality!

Sounds like you are almost ready to go! We're all getting so close!
