Spectrum Moms Take on The World! Our Last Day...Multiple Posts!

[KathyRN137]

Off in a little bit to get a new battery put in my Cinderella castle watch. Glad I happened to notice that before I got to Disney....I could have been late or early to everything!

Wouldn't it have been funny if your watch stopped at the stroke of midnight?!

I'll be sportin' my Minnie Nurse watch, BTW.

uh oh that would be bad...no watch for me, although I have about 6 disney ones...ever since becoming full time Mommy at home I stopped wearing them and just doesn't feel right...using my phone for the time.

Yesterday Anne Marie and I had a little shirt making party at my house....

My husband Matt printed out the designs that Jess and Heidi made...with only 2 snafu's and a run for more paper the night before and after alot of chatting we got busy.

follow the directions!

getting ready:

Is it lined up right?

Let's iron...(even set the mircowave timer so we'd get it right!)

we went by Amy's lead and did the back first let it cool (kept backing on) and flipped over and did front...now here's a pointer to those of you who haven't done their's yet...re check the pillowcase and shirt for lint...we forgot and some snuck in there

the number reveal:

Spectrum Number

and Spectrum number

The fronts (sorry blury)

and the backs

later on while we were done and still talking, my youngest DD Naomi-Ruth arrived home from school via bus...she is 4. We asked her to take our picture.....

Oh well we said take a picture of our shirts....​

I'm contemplating spending another $10 for a t-shirt to re-do mine. Again!

so hey when Matt got hm from work today I was finishing gettingmore of my tolietries together and mumbled outload...."geeze how many tolietries does one person need?" I was laughing at myself...and he chimes in "three"

what a man....

Heidi...yes treated myself to some new brushes and I was curious to see how much "girl" stuff we have in common

Tracy...yes it is an under-eye- thingie...I have been using it for a while now, got first one free. I use it the morning just about everyday. I like it. whether it has actually decressed some of that puffiness it feels nice and cool first thing in the morning to wake up some tired eyes

The shirts look great! I am so excited for you all!

Nice shirts!!

Yay for the shirts! Hope mine comes out just as nice!

thanks all...we had fun making them...Anne Marie & I can't wait to get this group shot front and back

Last night Zach graduated his yellow belt & recieved his orange belt:

We always do a serious picture followed by a silly picture:

Of course he wanted to wait until Saturday morning (after getting his new belt) to go to his second class for the week so I'll be catching up some DISing while I sit & wait... But guess what? Only 12 days to go!!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Woo hoo Zach!

Wow Kathy - Busy, busy, busy... That's very exciting news!! I put a shortcut to the site on my desktop & am anxiously awaiting your first article!

Heidi - You are doing great on your to do list!! I worked on my lists for home today. I'm also thinking I don't want to drive myself to the airport. Well I'm OK with driving myself, but I don't want to go into the parking garage alone, at night when I get home. I think DMIL might drive me & DH will pick me up while she stays at our house with the kids. Plus it will save on the cost of parking. Nothing's set in stone yet, but I'm working on it.

We're off to do some snow tubing tomorrow with DMIL & J.

Well, good news! I FINALLY received our DME stuff... will mail everything out on Monday...Tracy via FedEx so it gets to Canada in time.

I cannot tell you how excited I will be to get those!

On a side note, I've updated my blog with a little info on a new Disney-related venture... http://wdwadventuresinautism.blogspot.com/

How exciting! I've bookmarked and Facebooked it too.


Well, I made my shirt today and I'm sorry to say I made a big boo-boo with the type of transfers I chose. The other times I've made shirts, the transfer paper would peel off leaving the image on the shirt. This paper is ironed in its entirety onto the shirt and stays there, no peeling. Big white rectangles.

I'm not happy with the way it turned out but I don't hate it, and of course it helps that it's a white transfer on a white shirt so I won't make another one.

Has anyone used this type of "quick fuse" paper before? It's fairly stiff, will it soften up without washing it?
