So while I am making my special treat for our 10 day countdown…I wanted to share my crafty items I have made for this trip for myself and my travel companions:
Our DOOR Sign:
I used parts of Jess’s shirt design and a cool AKV DISign by RustManFan and some fun little ballons w/ our Dis names on them. Here is a closer look at the balloons:
Now Kathy and Amy…I just used your first intital on these, figured you didn’t want your name on our door…and Anne Marie and Heidi…sorry I didn’t have matching colors for all the balloons.
Next, last night I realized I didn’t make a journal for this trip…so I decided to make just a small one:
I used Natalie’s journal pages that I edited in my own journal prompts and the cover is also one of her DISigns.
Ladies…would any of you like one too? Be happy to make and bring to you! The pages include a “we are on our way” page, pages for days 1-4, “last day adventures page”, and food pages for each park.
Our fun little towel clothespins:
Here is a picture of me working on them one night that my DD Naomi-Ruth took:
This idea came to be back in our initial email planning when talking about beds and bathrooms. Each of get’s two clothes pins to clip on our towels so we can keep them straight. (Heidi I wasn’t sure what color to use for you…so I opted w/ black/grey…hope that is OK)
Lastly, the items I started on first. Our Dis-tags….I wanted us to each have matching tags, but something fun that stayed in our color theme and could be a cute keepsake for each lady after the trip (or to use again)…I also wanted it to be a little be cooler than the typical LGMH….so w/ my Cricut I first created the name tag and then using an Disney Autism DISign to put it all together. Now they are NOT done yet….I need to laminate the little Mickey Autism heads and then attach them to the name tag and add a ribbon for each lady to tie on their park bag. (they will hang vertical...not horizontal BTW)
But I wanted to give you a preview:
Hope you like them so far….
Be back later today w/ my special Disney treat!

I can't believe it either really.... the time has absolutely flown by!
Ariana has been asking to go to the airport lately (this translates to hopping on a plane to Disney, Mom... let's go!) so I don't want to remind her too much of the celebrations we were counting down to for our family trip or she'll start bombarding us with airport requests numerous times a day. That combined with my absence for four days and she'd be one unhappy girl. 
I have a plan though and I think we'll be OK! 
My throat is irritated and I've already lost my voice. I'm trying everything to not have it develop into a full fledged cold - gargling with warm water with salt REALLY helps, and cold medicine too. 
yay so glad you like your color, YES everyone get's to take their little balloons, and I will make you up a little journal no problem w/ the extra pages too 
ooohhh can't wait to see your goodies
After some screaming and a minor meltdown he was able to sit with me and talk about it. He said he was really going to miss me, but was able to relax with the promise of a new experiment or Lilo to go with the Stitch he got for Christmas.
...and you are all so talented and creative! 
Looking forward to reading more! I am so happy for you all! 
Luckily they didn't ask because it would have been hard to lie to them. Zach knows the book is about Disney so he might be assuming that's where I'm going.
