Our First Disney Vacation! A journal on the journey to September 7, 2011!

[L-Harper]

Just fell upon your trip report. I loved reading your PTR. Wish i came upon it earlier. Only 30 days. You must be so excited!! Your kids are gonna absolutly love it. Sorry you werent able to stay at AKL for those 2 days but at least you get to stay at pop for them. Looking forward to reading your trip report if you write one.

Yes! I will absolutely be writing a trip report! I've read so many of them and they have helped me so much, I'd feel guilty if I didn't.

I LOVE that mickey diecut you have..I am making a mickey mouse clubhouse fondant cake for my son's 3rd birthday next wednesday and I cant seem to find a large enough diecut to use as a stencil! Im getting a little worried I'm going to have to change my plans about the cake!

With only 25 days to go, I wanted to share the shirts I made for our family! I used this tutorial using freezer paper. http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/08/tutorial-freezer-paper-stencil-makenna.html?m=1 I still need to touch up a few spots on all of them, but I was just too excited to share them.

Thank you all for the sweet comments! I'm really excited to wear them! Funny thing? I keep trying to figure out WHICH day to wear them on! I think I'm seriously crazy! I hope you all have great luck with this! I definitely used the wrong brush. I used one of those 10 cent foam brushes with the black foam and wooden handle. I would NOT use those again.

Today has been awesome! The boys and I went to Target to pick up stuff for Disney and WE STARTED PACKING!!! I found 2 pair of shorts and 2 pair of capris for me on clearance! We also got some goodies in the Dollar Spot for the plane ride to keep the boys entertained.

I cannot believe that in 3 weeks from right now we will be in Disney World! It was hard to even imagine being this close when we started counting down over 600 days ago.

Time is just flying by! I started the single digit dance today! Sept 7 will be here before you know it!

Hey Harper!! Yes, I know. I didnt make it to chat last night. BUT I am back on the boards researching for our Jan/Feb trip.. and definitely here checking out your PTR all over again!!
You are awesome woman!
I really really really really love those autograph books and tees. You are so creative.
And I have missed a ton of updates unfortunately, so I gotta get a reading! I will have my eye on this thread and on your TR when you guys get back.

Hey you! I'm sure I'll catch you on the chat more now that you're planning your trip. How exciting that you're going! I'm envying that you are going when its so much cooler. I'm scared of the heat we'll encounter. You are too sweet with your comments on the things I've made. They were fun to make and the boys will love them! We are down to 15 days!
