Omg my mind is blown. He bags are awesome!
Hope you have a great day!
Thank you!
WOW. those are all amazing!
Thank you!
Grrrrr
I wasn't planning on bidding...I see several I want! So, exactly how did you know I have some extra money this weekend?
Nini
Thanks Nini... LOL - I had no idea...
Awesome bags so far! My favorite at this point is the Walt and Mickey one, simply amazing! Can't wait to see the rest of them!
I hope you have a good day at Target without a lot of pain. With the shooting pain, I'm wondering if you have a pinched nerve? Not sure what you can do for that though.
Thanks!
My day at Target was OK... They have been good to me, and let me do lighter tasks, which has been super helpful. I am certain it's a pinched nerve... I have no idea what I can do for it?
Love all the bags! As a matter of fact - Cruella would be perfect for my mom, my aunt needs Goofy, and my Disney loving friend would be happy with either the Walt and Mickey or Olaf! Going to have to run the budget to see what I can afford to spend on birthday/Christmas gifts! Is it auction time yet?!?!
I think custom outfits/bling/headgear/shoes would be awesome for South Dakota and DC! You might stand out a bit though I'm picturing headgear featuring Mt. Rushmore and the Washington Monument
Hope Target goes well today. I was wondering why I was seeing so many posts of yours with such early time stamps this morning - it makes sense now. I hope your back is feeling better soon!
Thanks Jennifer!
ROFL... YES! I think you are right... I could do a Mt. Rushmore custom and a White House custom! Fantabulous idea!
I love them all. Especially Walt and Mickey.
Liz
Thank you!
Lovely bags. I really liked the Walt and Mickey bag
Thank you!
Ahhh love them all!! But Goofy is my fave!
Thank you!
Oh My Goodness!! all of the bags are amazing!! How will I ever choose which one to bid on????
Thank you!
Your bags are wonderful. Very unique and they all have a great color scheme. You are very talented and have a great eye!
Thank you - that is so very nice of you to say!
It will be a long night for me on Friday if I'm going to bid on one of your bags. It's really tempting.
LOL... Sorry...
I absolutely LOVE the bags.. cannot wait for Friday!!!!
But they aren't dog training bags
Yep i am trying and failing to catch back on on everyone here on the Dis... Pretty difficult from being away over a WEEK!!!!
No thanks needed I just hope the picture came out ok in the end.
How is Lottie???
Thanks Mo... Don't worry about catching up here.
The photo came out great... I told her to call you and thank you - I don't know if she ever did? She has been sitting here editing FOREVER. LOL
Lottie is doing well... She is so cute! She is nocturnal, so she only spends a couple hours with us awake in the evening - and even then, she is a little cranky, because we wake her up "early" (according to her clock)... But she loves to cuddle under a blanket on our lap and sleep while we are watching TV.
OMG that Chip n Dale bag! I was obsessed with Rescue Rangers as a kid so they always hold a special place in my heart. That bag is incredibly adorable!
I think it's so awesome that Alli has photo clients already! She's so professional! Pretty soon she'll be published in Martha Stewart Weddings or something! (BTW, if she's looking for a website, I started using Wix.com for my soon-to-be-hopefully stationery business and they're great and so easy to use!)
Lissette
PS We are still waiting on PET scan results and it's pure torture... All prayers and happy thoughts welcome!
Thank you - I am glad you like them.
She has a website, I think I can share it here? She isn't selling anything on it but... Not sure. I know she uses weebly though.
Prayers and good thoughts for you all along, and I will continue. :hugs:
Well, I think you've cracked the issue with faces! These are Great!!!
And I hear you about black on black - I did something white on white and nearly went blind!
Thank you... Yah - it's so difficult to do... There was a lot of swearing involved in that bag.
D - I'm back!!! Between working 10 hour days before my vacation, and then being gone 8 days, and then working like mad to get caught up on my return to work, I had to speed read what all is going on; I am so very sorry about the passing of your uncle; we never know what life will bring; we just to have a grateful attitude and a love of life each day; I am so sorry D.
Sounds like your work is really paying off; your bags are AMAZING - beyond that. The Walt and Mickey one of my favorites. You are at full steam lady. Your trip is going to be here before you know it.
I saw the pics of you and your Dad on FB - I love them - they made my day. It looks like his smile is back and he is feeling much better. So good to see.
I am going to PM you today hopefully. So much to catch up on!
I know a lot of advice is being thrown your way regarding your back; but if I had know about Airrosti before having foot surgery I would not be having all the pain I have now. The botched surgery is causing my foot and hip to hurt constantly, but I can walk now with the help of Airrosti treatment. One of the best things about Airrosti is you see results from 1-3 treatments. There is a large web site about how it works. I hope you look it up, and I hope you find results from somewhere!
Here's to finishing your auctions bags and looking forward to your Dis trip!
Hugs and prayers, Carol
Hi Carol! It's great to see you - you've been on my mind and I've been wondering how you are doing. I did receive your message, and my apologies, I just won't have time to respond until Sunday... Aside from the auction - I have other things going on too. But I will respond.
I will have to google Airrosti... Not sure what it is, or anything about it. After this weekend, I will research and see if it's something I can do.
Thanks for everything Carol, and I am glad to hear you had a great trip.
Hi Erin!!! I've missed you!
I have come out of lurkdom to see where I can bid on these awesome auction bags!!
I tried to PM you about a month ago and wrote you a long message all to find out I haven't posted enough on the DIS boards and it wouldn't let me send it
I read your pre-trip report on a daily basis and feel as though I am part of your family I enjoy following KatMark also!!
Please PM me and let me know the details of the auction.
So excited for your upcoming trip!! My husband and I are going in September to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversay at the Wilderness Lodge. So excited in the double digit countdown mode!!
Welcome! Glad to see you've come out of lurkdom!
Sadly, I cannot PM you either, until you have 10 posts... Feel free to use my thread to up your post count to 10- otherwise, there are other threads around specifically for that purpose.

Then, send me a PM.
Your trip sounds amazingly fun... I dream of staying at WL someday (and the Poly... And, well, all of the deluxe resorts - LOL) There are lots of people from this thread that will be there in September too... I wish I could go in Sept. Oh well.
Again, welcome!
Oh all the awesome auction bags!!! I am really glad the auction is too close to my trip. That way I won't be tempted to bid. Ok, who am I fooling??? Of course I am tempted to is, but I will have to refrain. All of my money is being sucked into the Grand Floridian right now and I couldn't be happier about it And of course I have to save some cash for all the Mickey waffles I will eat!
So, is it just bags this time? Or did you do some wallets and GAC pouches??
You are going to look fabulous in all your outfits. And don't worry if the dresses are a little big. Just plan to wear them towards the end of your vacation. Or.....they can be your "buffet pants" when you need room in the waist
Gotta run, trying to get all my stuff together and figure out what I need to go buy this weekend. Also....need to figure out how I am going to stuff 4 huge suitcases, all our carryons and 4 people in my little Camry. Hmmmm......might need to make two trips to the airport
Hahahaha... I love you - you crack me up.

I am happy that all of your money is being sucked into the GF too.

It's too bad you can't mail Nikki some waffles.
I did only 2 wallets... I have one more ready to go, but I am not sure I will get it done in time? I can always auction it later, if necessary.
ROFL... Yah - "buffet pants" perfect! Praying I won't need buffet pants.
I was so excited to see the pictures you sent last night - I cannot believe your trip is so close... You better believe I will be stalking you on FB... I hope you do a bunch of live updates! I am dying to see Gram's reaction, and Bradey's too... So many WONDERFUL memories to be made on this trip!
You are an applique face magician!!!! So talented!! I love them ALL. I've had to visit this thread at least three times today to admire all of your recent bags!
They just make me SMILE so thank you for sharing your talents with us.
I hope your Target shift went smoothly and you aren't continuing to experience more back pain!! Time to get into the "stay healthy" groove with your trip coming so close! Any time I have to travel, I start loading up on Vitamin C. Love those Emergen-C packs- so easy to make sure I get a good dose.
Good luck with your auctions this weekend!!! You've worked so hard I'm sure they will all be a big success!
Liz (Lucky #18)
Thank you Liz... It's been a lot of hard work... Most times, I still don't know how I do it? LOL I just do.
Yah - I am so bummed about my back... Just trying to get through this weekend and the auctions, then I will make an appt with my Dr... I hope to fix it with stretching and PT... If that doesn't work, I am going to find a chiro... Josh's aunt is a chiropractor, but she doesn't live near us - but I know she is a lot like me and insists on a more natural approach to healing... I will send her a message and see if she knows of anyone like her near me.
Thank you!
D, I know that you know why I haven't been here this week and I know you understand. But I had to come to take a peek at the bags. I am in love with ALL of them, especially Olaf. I so wish I could bid on them to help with your trip, but I also know you understand why that's not possible. I hope the auction is a HUGE success!
Oh Kathy... I do know.

Please know that you and Mark have been on my mind a lot these last few days. I wish there was something I could do to help you out.

We all love you and wish you the absolute best, love and prayers. :grouhug:
I've been following your trip reports but this is my first comment. That Cruella bag is too awesome not to rave about. I LOVE IT!! And I love the Walt and Mickey bag. I love them all!! I may not be able to afford one of your purses right now but I plan on following you until I can afford to get my very own! I'd carry it every single day, not just to Disney.
Welcome! Thanks so much - I am happy I brought you out of lurkdom!

I hope you'll continue to follow along and comment when you have a chance. I adore all of my Dis friends so much - I can never have too many.
**********************************************************
Good morning everyone! It's a glorious & stormy morning here.
Target went well yesterday... They have been SO GOOD to me with my back - despite not having a Dr. note for 3 weeks now, they are still letting me do modified work. I've promised to see a Dr. next week, if I am not improved and get a Dr. note.
Last night ended up being a lot crazy for me...
My neighbor and good friend needed to talk... So, we went for a walk and chatted. We don't get to spend a lot of time together these days - we are both so busy, but I consider her one of my dearest friends, and it was wonderful spending some time with her last night. She is expecting a baby in August, and it's been so much fun for me to live vicariously through her.
Then, one of Alli's elementary/middle school best friends stopped over with her mom... She just received her driving permit, and our house is a nice long drive for her to rack up some hours behind the wheel.

They stayed for a good hour, and chatted with us. Of all of Alli's long time friends, she is one of my favorites. Her mom and I used to go out for coffee all the time - but our work schedules have been so busy, we just haven't been able to make it work... But her mom is one of those friends where even if you don't see them for a long time, you just pick back up like no time has passed. So, it was wonderful - and a little bittersweet - to see them last night. Our girls are all growing up so fast.
Allison had another friend spend the night last night... It's a little girl (who isn't so little anymore) I used to babysit in the summers... She is 2 years younger than my girls... So, it's a lot of fun to have her here too... She only lives a mile away and we see her often, but she hasn't stayed at our house for a long time... All these kids growing up on me. Why does time have to go so fast?
Today is a BIG day for Allison... She has her 2nd job interview at my Target/Starbucks... I know she could use any and all Pixie Dust and good vibes.
Aside from bringing Alli into town... I will be working all day. Then this afternoon, I will be working on getting my auction stuff finished up. It will be such a relief to have this behind me!
I better get this posted before we lose power! I hope you all have a wonderful day! Sending out prayers and good thoughts to all in need!
