~~~SEWING my way to POFQ ~ American Girl outfits & Custom Park Bags! ~~~

I am so happy to hear that you got the Star Wars fabric, and am anxious to see what you make with it!

I am excited to see the Mickey Mail, but please don't feel like you have to. :lovestruc



Hope you had fun at your Bunco game... I've tried, but I've never been able to get into it. :rolleyes1


Disney Parks DVD review:
Honestly.... I watched the first 30 minutes of each chapter, and there wasn't anything earth shattering in there, that I didn't already know from The Dis or elsewhere. However, if you were planning a trip to one of the parks, you didn't do your research and didn't know a thing about Disney, you could probably learn a thing or two from it. I was disappointed, glad someone loaned me the DVD and I didn't buy it. Basically, it was one of the free movies about the resorts that you can get from Disney - except it was less magical because it was done by a 3rd party. So, if you are dying to see it - rent it.

I am also anxious to dig into the books that were loaned to me, I browsed the first chapter of one last night, and I am afraid it will be the same thing... For instance, the book tells you... Beware of the spitting camels on The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, and find the paintbrush hidden on Tom Sawyer Island... All of this is basic knowledge if you research your trips, so hopefully it gets better?

Plans for today:
1. Finish my current bag (it isn't the UP bag) it's an ordered bag.
2. Call Disney and pay off our trip, also verify the price to add 8 more days of tickets.
3. Post pictures of above said bag.
4. Work some more on the UP bag.
5. Also, maybe, do some work on the little project I keep telling you about - but I keep putting it on the back burner to work on other things, it's important that I finish it before our trip.

The Star Wars fabric is going to become "walking pants" and an embellished t-shirt. I'd tell you I'm making pajamas, but we all know Finn will say they're walking pants so he can try to sneak in a day at school with them on :lmao: I'm hoping I have enough to make at least one pillowcase, if not two. . . Poor Finn likes the classic Star Wars saga and Phalen likes the Clone Wars, but the Star Wars sheets from Walmart are reversed - P has the classic saga sheets on his twin bed and Finn has the Clone Wars sheets on his full bed. If anyone ever sees the classic saga sheets in full size at their walmart, PLEASE let me know!!!

Mickey Mail - girl, I've had this idea in my head since you said you were going . . . so unless you want me to turn into a crazy person who has one idea and one idea only, this Mickey Mail is getting made this weekend :) :hug: :)

Bunco - We always have to warn newbies that we don't play BUNCO the "real" way because we have our own easy way of playing. We used to have a "start" time of 7:00pm . . .which is now 8:00pm... which means we might start playing by 8:30 . . . we finished at about 10 last night and I didn't get home until midnight . . . it's really just an excuse for a couple of drinks and LOTS of crazy talk - you'd have a great time :) Too bad MN is just too far from NC for a night out :confused3

The Disney Parks dvds are, THANKFULLY, on Netflix streaming. Finn watched it almost daily for a month or so before our trip. . . some days he'd switch it up and watch the DisneyLAND version . . . talk about confusing to a 3 year old! :rotfl2:

Glad you got the Star Wars Fabric. I want to run to my Joanns but probably won't get there before Saturday. Is it a Woven Fabric or Flannel?

I bought a woven one :) I need to upload the pics I took (and messaged to Michelle FROM Jo-Ann's) so y'all can see the choices. I'm hoping they get a couple more fleece on bolts choices. . . they only had one and then two different fleece throw kits.
 
Congrats on being able to pay off your trip today.:thumbsup2

Can't wait to see the picture of the bag once it is all done.popcorn::
 
Thanks Marianne. J has no clue what Star Wars is but I like to make him look cute. Love it I am going to call them walking pants now LMAO:lmao:
 
All done!!!

I love how this bag turned out, it is very similar to my last Mickey one, but there are a few differences - as we all know - I don't ever like to make anything exactly the same.

Fantastic! That is always a good feeling!


Your Mickey bag is perfect! I was going to make me a new bag for the trip (can't carry a bag in the park any more) but seeing yours, I'm thinking I won't be happy with what I can make. I may just have to see what you can make for me after you get back from your trip....


Love all your work!

did you notice who's next to your countdown on the disney page?

LOVE the new Mickey bag!!!

Megan is fine with waiting, since she bought the Ipod shuffle she'll still have music.
 
Before I show pictures... I just want to say a few things...

I know I said it earlier in the week... But I have made a lot of great friends on The Dis, but there is a hand-full of you that I have become quite close to these last few months... And I just really want to say thanks for being such great friends - really - I couldn't have done any of this with out you cheering me on.

Having said that... I recieved some Pixie Dust today, from somone who should have been Pixie Dusted herself - for sure on a day like today. I wish I could give a lot more than cyber hugs to Lisa and Megan today... they have been through so much, and just really deserve every bit of fortune that comes into their lives - great people, I tell ya! So, Lisa and Megan, from the bottom of my heart... Thank you! :hug:

OK - now that I am done being sappy...

Imagine my surprise, when I opened the mail box and found an envelope with my name on it.... I was quite shocked, because I wasn't expecting anything. Isn't that the best part of Pixie Dust - someone thinks of you when you least expect it... :lovestruc

Lisa and Megan know me way too well...

Check out this adorable bag they sent me!!! D~ is in 7th heaven... Not only that, but I was seriously contimplating making us a "pool bag" - you know, to carry towels, sunscreen, a good book to the pool... Well - this is the perfect bag for that!!! And I am thrilled!!! :banana:

IMG_25361.jpg


And the sides of the bag... I conveniently used my Donald nails (newest revision) to hold it open - because they match!!! How cool is that??? :cool1:

IMG_25372.jpg


And not only did Lisa and Megan send me this cute bag - but they sent me this adorable Donald pen too!! Isn't he cute!!! :lovestruc

IMG_25383.jpg


I just love everything!! And it was just so sweet of you to think of me - I am so excited about the bag... I love that it's water proof, I can fold it up in my luggage and it's really light weight!!! :banana:

:hug: Thank you Lisa and Megan!!! :hug:

D~
 
Congrats so happy for you. I keep debating whether I need a fabulous D bag or not. NEED TO DECIDE SOON ;)

Yes, you do... But you know I'll squeeze you in any time. :thumbsup2

Fantastic! That is always a good feeling!

Nini

LOL Nini - I"ll bet you can make yourself an awesome bag! :thumbsup2 But I'll squeeze you in any time too.

WOOO HOOO!! :banana:
Awesome! I bet it feels good!

It does, but now I am feeling like it's crunch time... I still have a lot to save for. I was just happy that I have a lot more in GCs left than I thought I would - so paying for our remaining tickets is a lot closer than I thought it was. :thumbsup2

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

did you notice who's next to your countdown on the disney page?

LOVE the new Mickey bag!!!

Megan is fine with waiting, since she bought the Ipod shuffle she'll still have music.

I did notice... I just thought that Disney was stalking my PTR - so they knew just who to put there. LOL

Thanks for everything Lisa! :hug:

There is no greater feeling than when you pay off your trip!
Unless it's getting Mickey Mail
Or stepping off the plane in Florida
Or driving under that Walt Disney World Sign
:lmao::rotfl::lmao::crazy:

I love your Pixie Dust, you truly deserve it.:thumbsup2
 
I love the Mickey bag and can't wait to see the UP bag.


:banana::banana::banana: for having your trip paid in full.
 
I love the Pixie Dust that Lisa and Megan sent you. That bag is perfect for a swim bag.

Your nails are fantastic. I am always jealous of those who have beautiful nails and can do fun stuff like that. Mine always break. Guess I was never meant to be a hand model :rotfl:
 
Love the Mickey bag, can't wait to see the UP bag!

GRATS ON BEING PAID IN FULL!!!!! :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

That's awesome that you got Pixie-Dusted! Love the Donald bag! :lovestruc
 
Yay for being paid in full. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Mickey bag. I am definitely ordering one for my next trip. Except my fav is Goofy, so I'll have to have him. I love the black fabric on the sides :) Totally my style!
 
Love that Mickey Bag:love: and the Donald Bag.:love:

In honor of paying your trip off here's a picture from our room in 2009.

I have NOT had a lot of time near a computer the past few days . . . but I did get to go shopping SOLO last night and hit Jo-Ann's, Michaels', Kohls & Target. I scored a very amazing deal on some brand new Star Wars cotton fabric at Jo-Ann's (Thanks to Michelle for posting about finding new Star Wars flannel at the RI store!!! :hug: ) . . . and I found what I'd been searching the world for so I can finally put together the Mickey Mail I'm going to send D~ & her girls!!! :cool1:

:sad2: Sadly mine still only has the flannel but I am so glad you texted me because I can't wait until they arrive at my Joanne's
