Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.7

Some of our past formal / semi-formal attire:

Beautiful pictures of your dresses and your family!!

 

[birkner]

I agree. Otherwise, I would be going around calling people birkner, BuckeyeGal, gismo, dolphingirl, etc!!

Could be worse, I guess. Our last name is often mispronounced Brinker, like Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates. Worst improv was Birknocker..

So I get both names mispronounced... Nole instead of No L.

Since everyone is sharing their formal wear, here is mine. I wore it to my DD's wedding and then to the 100th anniversary of the Concert Band that my DH plays with. it has a slight train. I was so lucky to find this dress in a consignment shop!!!

I think it is an absolutely gorgeous dress!!

I am really jealous of the Pal Mickey tux outfit!! Where did you find it, if I may ask?

 

[KrisannB]

I do the digital CM as well!! I am gong to have my laptop mith me, and am going to try and keep up a little... I have 6 unfinished books - all Disney, waiting to be finished... I am staring at them right now... Kills me... Tons of cool stuff for them, just no gumption to get them done...

Oh how fun! I will be working on mine on the cruise as I will have my computer with me - I am going to set up the book with the days before we leave and then plop pictures in as we go each day so i can have a finished book the day we return!!!!

Have you gotten all the new disney digital things!! I have downloaded them all and am excited - I like them better than the other disney pack from a couple of years ago - I did the predesigned pages and the kits! I sell so it is important for me to have samples I have been putting my pages as I do them on facebook - are we friends there? You can look at them there.

The hat and shoes I bought and the tux actually was on the special anniversary PM. At one point we were shipping a few PMs to different folks on the DDA thread and unfortunately the tux jacket and that PM got lost, so I bought another PM and looking for another tux.

I wish I would have seen the tux. So sorry you lost the PM and the tux outfit!!

Do you know what size clothing PM wears?

Some of the shoes at Build a Bear. I can usually get shoes at Target. The t-shirts I get at A C Moore or Michaels. A few of his things I have actually got in the pet section of Target or Pet Smart!!! small or x-small. I just got the cutest sailor suit off of a boyds bear and the bear was about 13 inches tall.

there is a lot of info on this one thread and really cute pictures.

OMG...I have to tell you this story. My favorite author Elizabeth Peters (Barbara Mertz) has a recurring character in her stories whose name is Algernon Bracegirdle-Boisdragon. Here is the link in case anyone thinks I am making this up. http://www.librarything.com/character/Algernon+Bracegirdle-Boisdragon

I would love to hear the story over an Adult beverage or two. Name the date and time!!

Pin Update

We have received a quote back from a pin maker. They only make pins in lots of 100 at a cost of $5.70 per pin(euro's 4,50) If we only make 50, the cost will be higher.
They will be 50mm(1.9 inches?), when we do smaller they will cost less.

Since we only have orders for about 48 pins, does anyone want more pins?

There is still one manufacturer who wants more information from me to give us a quote but I think the price will be about the same. I also get in contact whit a company in the USA the prices are the same and they will do 200.

We also need a higher resolution copy of the logo as the one on line will not work. If we can't find one, we may have to change the pin.

Let me now what you think about it.

Sounds similar to us Noel.......our last name being Champken (which is apparently Swiss), it is pronounced/written as anything from Champion, Champkin, Chapman, to Chumpkin!

I did a couple of books with the free version of the software a while back. I love that "cocktail table" book look when printed!! Anyway, my DSIL was selling (think she may still be...) CM, and she talked me into buying the newest software. I haven't made a book with it yet - so tell me what I need to get!! I installed it and was poking around, but that is it so far... You can prod me to work on my Cruise book for this trip!

Will have to look for you on FB... I am there, but not there, ya know? I gave up my farm because it was taking all my time, and then it was baseball season, then it is cruise plannin... I have been weaned from it now! LOL But would love to see what you have done!

You really need to check out her pages on FB. They are just wonderful!!

Fabulous as DH needs to resize them for pin and take off Mickey, also possibly Disney.

Noel, You are so very welcome. the thing about some of the clothes is the sleeves have to be big enough for his hands to fit thru and also the opening of the neck as well for his head, I have had to make a few adjustments on some things. I have gotten some Starbucks bears outfits. I have quite a few naked bears here!! He has more shoes than I do

This is my most favorite outfit if his. Gets me a lot of character interaction I got it in the pet section at Target
He is going to wear this for when we go the MNSSHP Sunday night after the cruise

 

[TotallyAngelic]

Oh did I miss talk of fascinators? Who's wearing one? I brought one at Christmas in the sale and wanted to wear one but didn't want to look out of place! Its black, green and purple!

Wouldn't those colours just be perfect for villains

I think we are bringing our masques for the ball - they are old fashion ones on sticks but look nice

masques .... what a good idea .... something else to make ?????

Here is my formal dress (for both nights ) from the EBTA and I will be wearing it again this cruise for both nights.

Krisann .... your dress is beautiful ... the beading on the bodice is so pretty.

Since everyone is sharing their formal wear, here is mine. I wore it to my DD's wedding and then to the 100th anniversary of the Concert Band that my DH plays with. it has a slight train. I was so lucky to find this dress in a consignment shop!!!

Another gorgeous dress Terry, and a beautiful colour.

We stayed at the Grand Californian in 2008 for the WBPC meet. It was the weekend that the last POC movie was released and Johnnie Depp was on our floor. Security was tight and you could not go to his end of the hall.

OMG I wouldn't have been able to contain myself. I would have camped outside his door.

Isn't it amazing how you colour co-ordinate with Mickey and Minnie on the middle photo. You have some gorgeous dresses.

My Mum knew a lady around here whose surname was Bracegirdle. What a coincidence, as it must be a very unusual name.

The pins sound very reasonable. I would be happy to take 2 ... one each for DH and myself.

John and I just love the Halloween outfit. I don't know if I going to bring Pal Mickey because of weight issues but if I do, I will have to be sure he is properly outfitted.
