SDV Orlando 2010, August 27 - 29

[JandJ]

Hi all! Sorry I haven't been around much lately. The new job is very busy and when I get home I don't even want to look at the computer. For those who have been keeping track, the adoption is falling through. That's been incredibly stressful. DH and I are really good, but it's the giant gorilla in the room that we try to ignore but cannot escape. It's been hard, but we know that together we can get through anything. And next week would have been my mom's 70th birthday and then of course mother's day. So, I'm a bit stressed out right now

I am looking forward to SDV so much - you cannot imagine how badly I need this time away doing something I love with all of you fun, cool, and wonderful gals In the meantime, I'm starting to get my stuff together. I've got 3 albums that I'm planning on working on so far. On another happy note, one of my best friends is getting married in a couple of weeks in Orlando and DH and I are staying over and going to Disney the day after the wedding. That will be really nice and I'm thinking I need a Dole Whip!

Oh Jennifer I'm so sorry about the adoption. And I feel your pain with missing your mom. Mine would have been 70 last October. She missed it by 3 months. And I hate the fact that its Mothers Day this weekend. It hurts.
Sending you love, hugs and happy thoughts.

Thank you Today was Mom's birthday. I miss her alot. I'll be spending mother's day with DH and his parents. DMIL wants a BBQ at our house and for me to make my "famous" cupcakes, so I'll be busy cooking and cleaning. Then, I'll probably go to the gym after they leave, to burn off the emotions as well as the calories.

Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there!

Happy birthday to Mom. Sorry you are missing her today.

My mom's B'day was yesterday. We'll share my mom when we get down there.

Jen

I plan on sharing both of your moms - they're awesome! Thank you for the hugs, they are much appreciated

 

[Lisa]

Mom adores you. She is always asking me how you are doing.

 

[JandJ]

Aww, Lisa that is sweet to hear! I love your mom - she reminds me of my mom. Can't wait to see all of you in 3 short months!

In the meantime, pray for me. I splurged on a white gold chain to replace one that broke and any minute now DH will be home and I have to tell him I blew my allowance. I'm now in the hole into June But it is a beautiful chain, and I needed it for my pendants that he got me, so really it's his fault (I don't think he'll believe that for a second though )

Off to Orlando tomorrow for my friend's wedding and Disney on Sunday - hopefully - DH has a cold and I think I'm coming down with it so Disney might have to be skipped - oh the horror!!

Do we know what vendors are usually at the WDW SDV? Specifically is Mouse Memories (Ithink that is the name) there? Just wondering as I sit here dreaming of August...

That would be great if they were- love their stuff!!

No- although they are normally open extended hours as some scrappers take trips there during the weekend.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I'd be on board for a road trip if anyone goes.

Hey everyone!

I haven't been on in a while!
to Jen.

I believe that Gina Trigona (Gina's Treasure Chest) will be back as a vendor this year. She makes custom paper piecing embellies. She's got a website and sells on Ebay, too. I've bought from her in the past. Her work is to "die" for (pun intended! )

Ann (MinnieAnn) & I are flying in on Monday for the SDV. We may do a Mouse Memories run that day. If anyone wants to order online, we can pick it up for you.

I'm excited about the SDV, but first have 4 days of the Great American Scrapbook Convention (Arlington, TX) to "endure" in early June.

How many days and counting, Buffy?

93 and counting!!!!!!!


Hey do you have Tim's email addy? I have film strips that I don't need (a ton) and wanted to see if he needed or wanted any. Can't find his email on the blog. Of course I could just be blind and can't see it. LOL

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

nevermind, found it. Duh!!!

 

[pixiedustforever]

Yipers!

I'm sure he has an unlimited supply of 'em. Why not share them or use them for cards and other projects. The possiibilities are endless! Pages or a book on Disney movies, cards with "You're the star" or other movie stamp or computer journalling on it .... so many options!

Gee, how many DO you have?
Marylee

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Probably a hundred.


They are really dark (think school film projectors) and I can't really seem to think of any way to use them. You can't really see the images even against white paper.

They aren't like his ideology ones, these are about the size of 35 mm film, maybe slightly bigger.

I've emptied 35 canisters so far.

 

[pixiedustforever]

Well, silly me ... I thought it was the idealology ones you were thinking of sending to him!

What about this idea: make bows with them for a Christmas wreath!
You can use the Tiny Attacher to secure them into bows. And have a
Disney movie themed tree ... and run them though a garland.

If you have a "This is Your Life" type of party for someone, you can use them in table decorations .... really cool if you show home movies of the person.

If you want to send him several (as a surprise!) I can give you the address. And he may want the canisters, too!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Can't have the canisters!! LOL
They are holding my ideology stuff.
