As your new favorite poster, I feel obligated to let you know.
MY SISTER IS A FRAUD!!! Her middle name is JOYCE, not JOY!! She is a happyness imposter!!!! Oh the shame, the shame.
Hey now!!! I've EXPLAINED to you BEFORE that it's not a NAME! It's a DESCRIPTION!!!! 
This thread has been a little bit slow. Maybe everyone is taking their summer vacations this week. I rememeber back in the 3rd thread (or around there) it was going so fast, you had a hard time reading everything and keeping up.
So, how many people are still here from the beginning? I cam in on the 6th page of the 1st thread.
Well, everyone have a great day.
I posted on the first thread..... I tried to find my first post, but I'm having trouble! It was near the end of May, I believe, right after we got back from Disney. I'm soooo glad I found all of you!
I have a Trip Report confession:
I haven't read nay of yours or Teresa's. I don't like reading them until they are finished. Fairly selfish of me, I know but I hate spending all that time reading and getting "attached" to the writer to only have the report die before it is finished. I also have a hard time reading TR's in spurts - I forget what I have read and end up re-reading things.
Heather and Teresa, what day are you writing about now and how many more to go? I really want to read your reports.
You know, I TOLD Heather there were people like you on the board just the other day!! She looked at me in disbelief!!!
I'm still here. I posted on the first page of the first thread.
I guess I need to go check it out!
JUST WONDERED!
Has anyone noticed my new ticker?
YEAH SHANNON!!!!
Say it ain't so!!!!
And to think .................... Just yesterday I was trying to convince DD that her next baby should be named Teresa Joy. The shame indeed.
Guess I'll have to go to Heather Sue now for the next grandchild's name.
Now now, come on, I explained, it's a DESCRIPTION!!!! (plus, on another site I signed up for TeresaJoyce wouldn't fit as a username, and it cut it off at TeresaJoy, and well, I thought that sounded pretty cool!)
Our January 2009 trip is just ME and HUBBY! I guess it could be considered an "anniversary trip", except that our anniversary is December 30th, and we'll celebrate 14 years this year. SO, no one really celebrates the 14th anniversary with a trip, do they? The last time we had an adult only vacation together was when we celebrated our 10th anniversary. We're really looking forward to enjoying the World in grown up style!
I would consider it an anniversary trip! Then, you'd get to wear those cute little buttons!
Here is my Big Give outfit for Isabelle. I hope it fits! My model is I would think smaller, but not too sure!
I decided to go with lounge pants and a t so it could be worn to bed or just to lounge around in. I have seen so many beautiful outfits and think she'll probably have plenty for all days!
I think that is just adorable Jessica!!!!
By the way your model is standing, whenever I see the picture, I think it's Lydia for a split second! That model wouldn't happen to have a birthday in December, would they?
Heather I cannot believe that I have misse like 5 updates...I don't know where I was but I am trying to catch up!! Then I have to update my own. ADD IT TO THE LIST!!!
...t.
Oh T! She is tricking you!!! She just broke her last installment up into 5 parts!!! You didn't miss anything!
Is it pitiful that I LOOVE reading Heather's trip report, even though I was actually there!?!? I thought this monster update was too short! I wanted to keep reading!
Love everything that has been created lately!!! I'm trying to finish up some last minute 4th of July outfits, will post pics when they are complete.
BTW, I have been meaning to ask.....what is with all the rage of the bobbin winder????? I picked one up the other day at Wal-Mart ($4.00 on clearance from $30) b/c everyone seemed to be getting one and I didn't want to be left out! LOL
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I'll have to scout out our
Walmart's!!! They were doing inventory the other day, I wonder if they marked them down yet. I want one so bad! I hate winding bobbins!
Hi all. I am not normally a sewer (read: I don't even own a sewing machine); however, I'm thinking about making an outfit for my daughter for our trip in January. I have used my mom's sewing machine recently to make my son a Jedi Robe for our last trip during Star Wars Weekend. I'll post a picture so you can see it.
I'm looking for any recommendations you might have for a beginner to make. I'd love to make her a two-piece style outfit.
Here is my son wearing the Jedi Robe I made:
There are lots of tutorials in the bookmarks, and even lessons for the beginning sewer. A full skirt with elastic at the top is just about the easiest thing in the world to make. And, I think a peasant top is really easy too. There is a pattern for both of those in the bookmarks.
But, I have to recommend CarlaC's Easy Fit Pants and her Simply Sweet Top and Dress patterns too. They are really good for a beginner, because they take you through everything step by step. You can get the patterns on
http://www.youcanmakethis.com I also recommend her Portrait Peasant dress pattern (that you can make into a blouse as well). Well, actually, ALL of Carla's patterns are great!!! Plus, she's a fellow Diser!
We had a blast though! This year I hope Luke can stay awake. Now I have to figure out costumes, like should the kids wear their regular Halloween costumes, or should I make a bunch of Disney ones for the family? Last year we were all pirates. This year Jayden so far wants to be Elphaba, but I would love to have her be Miley Cyrus with her black petti, so if we're doing two Halloweens maybe she can be both. I have a Wicked Queen costume I bought from the 
But, my middle name is actually Suessical. Yes, I'm a FRAUD, too!! 
Can't wait to see what ya'll post today!
