Thanks! We actually got that Belle doll the last time we were at Disney World. It was one of Maddy's souvenirs.

I finally got around to taking pictures of my Disney binder.
Last time I made one that was large and annoying to carry around the parks in my backpack so this time I got a mini binder at Target.

It has sections in it for dining, the resort, each park, planning, and our daily schedule... among a few other things.
It has all of our important info in it.

In other news... I found these Frozen Jelly Belly's at Hot Topic!

Your binder looks so cute! I've never done one but was thinking maybe I should when I actually looked at all our papers the other day!

This past Saturday was our Mulan movie night.
I didn't feel like making much so we got Chinese take out!

Of course our little picky eater didn't want it so I made her a tortilla cheese roll up.

After dinner, we made paper lanterns and fans. Maddy liked the paper lanterns so much that she wouldn't stop making them. I think by the end of the night she had about 15!

Thanks! I really love it. It is pretty full so I think I may take a few things out but it is also small enough and light enough that I don't think it will be bothersome to carry around in my backpack at the parks.

Great binder! I love making a binder for trips as well! And super fun Mulan night

 

[Denovagirl]

Binder looks good! And I LOVE your Mulan night! That instantly gave me a craving for take-out! YUM! And the lanterns are adorable and the fans! I just love your movie nights! I wish I had the discipline to do them weekly like you have been doing! They've all turned out so great!

 

[MidnightParade]

Ooooh!! I love Chinese take out! nomnomnomnom! Cute idea with the lanterns!

Nice binder!! I bought a little file folder thing and now I'm wandering if I need a binder instead! (Won't be coming to the parks with us just to keep the papers organized between resorts and airport stuff.)

 

[Chicago Mo]

Thank you. We have had so much fun doing them. So many movies to get through! But I think it helps make the time go faster too.

Thanks! I love the mini binders from Target. Plus they suck you in with all the cute accessories- lined paper, calendars, page protectors, cover pages, etc etc. So much fun!

Guess who is going to Target today!

 

[STLMickeyMom]

Binders at target, you say? Like I ever need a reason to run to target....

 

[annegirl]

Guess who is going to Target today!

YES! Hahaha.

Binders at target, you say? Like I ever need a reason to run to target....

I know! It may be one of my happy places. Abi always says, "Mom, you always get distracted in Target."

Today I thought I should pull out my project box and try to figure out what to start on first.
I forgot how many things I have waiting to be done!!
I realized with the start of school how fast November is going to get here.
So then the hardest part was figuring out what order to do things in.
I thought I would make a list of my projects that need to be done:

I have some Small World iron on's that I need to iron on to two shirts for the girls.
I am making some cute skirts for the girls with some Small World fabric I found a few years ago (the reason I am making the shirts.)
I need to iron on the shirts for departure day with the airplanes.
I need to iron on a Sofia the first to a shirt for Abi.
I need to make a skirt for Abi to match the shirt.
I am making two frozen skirts for the girls. I have yet to get the fabric though. I pre ordered it and hopefully will get it soon.
I need to iron on the big sister/ little sister Frozen shirts to go with the skirts.
I am making either a pair of Minnie Mouse shoes or Palace Pets shoes for Maddy. I am leaning toward Minnie Mouse but will probably end up doing palace pets.
I am making Sofia the first shoes to match Abi's Sofia shirt/ skirt.
I need to make my Beauty and the Beast stained glass shoes.
I need to sew Abi's Sofia costume for Halloween and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
I need to alter her old pink Cinderella dress from last time because she told me that she thinks if we take it to Disney World the next time we go, the Disney magic will magically make it fit her again. So, honestly, I couldn't pass up trying to see if I can do it. I mean, an almost 9 year old that still believes in magic this much... I don't want it to end!
I need to sew Maddy's blue Cinderella dress for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique .... and hope she doesn't change her mind about that being what she would want!
I also have all the supplies for the autograph books for the girls so I just need to put those together!
And I am hoping to make a few themed headbands and bows. We'll see how that goes.
Oh man. This is going to be a busy couple of months!

 

[MidnightParade]

Oh man! That is quite a project list! Bestest of luck and don't forget pictures!!

 

[STLMickeyMom]

That's a long to do list, but it sure does sound like a lot of fun! I have so much fun with iron ons--can't wait to see all of them. And I LOVE that you're altering the dress to fit. It's so awesome that Abi believes in the Disney magic still!! That just makes me smile!
