The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 2

[julia & nicks mom]

EVERYONE PLEASE READ!!!​

I am not even sure how to say this without sounding like a brat but I need to ask you all a favor:

recently I have seen some of my designs in other people's design gallery or posted in a thread without credit given to me - I see that it has happened to other designers as well.

I hate to sound petty - and I certainly want everyone to feel free to use the designs and to modify as desired but I spend A LOT of time working on new designs and it gets very frustrating to see it in someone else's design gallery as their own design

I have had people ask me to modify designs of people who are not available to design and have done that but I try not to post those in my public design gallery - if I do -I have added a disclaimer on the design

so I just want to ask everyone that when you borrow a design that you give proper credit to the original designer

Hi everyone! My laptop is now at Best Buy with the Geek Squad going through diagnostics. They should call in a couple of days to let me know what the problem is and what can be done. I haven't been able to check the thread very often at work this week, so I had about 50 pages to catch up on yesterday and today. Happy birthday to all of those who had or are going to have birthdays. Get well soon to those who are ill, or whose children are ill. To anyone going to WDW soon, have a great trip! Great job everyone on designs. Kate, great picture of Julia! Hope she gets to model. It sounds right up her alley. Denise, you don't post too often any more. Is everyone okay? Congrats on the DVC. Congrats to you, too Deb! I did autograph books for our December trip, but I can't post pictures. The characters really loved them. Cinderella said "I'm all over the place!" Suzy was so excited she ran to get Perla to see. The fairy Godmother said "oh, how clever!" Mary Poppins said we were very "innovative." They're great for character interaction (we were all adults, by the way). We got about 25 autographs, which isn't too bad for a one week trip. Hope I get my laptop back soon or get more time at work to post this coming week. If not, I'll catch up again next weekend! Have a good week!

I hope that your laptop is an easy fix. Hopefully you'll be able to keep involved with us.

Glynis it's so nice of you to go to so much trouble to make their first Disney trip a special one potentially filled with even more pixie dust - they're going to have the most fantastic time

That's exactly why I'm doing it! I want them to have the best time ever. I just can't understand people who don't love Disney. I plan on converting these kids (and their parents) on this trip.

Happy New Year Friends!

See what happens?! I get bronchitis over New Year's, am bedridden for no less than 10 days, can't lift my head off the pillow to get a drink of water much less be on the DDA, then I get swamped last week at work trying to catch up, and what happens -- y'all MOVE on me! Now I have almost 3100 posts on which to catch up! (I'll love every minute of reading!)

Happy to see everyone in bright and chipper spirits on our new thread. I'm going to be swamped with work for the next few weeks, so will pop on and off when I can. Just wanted to say hello and happy new year! And have a fantabulous time to anyone going to WDW in the next few weeks for birthdays or otherwise!

Tammi-

my MIL just told me she is booking us on the April 28 cruise - DARN!!!!! I was hoping maybe we might overlap on a weekend

Steffy - sounds like we might have a chance at an overlap

That's too bad. It would have been nice to meet up for a meal or something.

 

[Steffy]

Hi my DDA friends!

My grandma is still here, but I've been trying to keep up with your posts. She's leaving around lunchtime tomorrow, so I should be able to go on posting frenzy soon!

We're having a nice visit, but it can be a little trying to have a houseguest for five days. Luckily, I have Kevin and Alyssa to help me "entertain."

Miss you all!
Amy

Hi AMy!!!

 

[tink2020]

Amy - hello! thanks for checking in, and we can't wait to see you more!
Deb - congrats on DVC! How exciting!

 

[Tammi67]

GO BEN!

OMG---what a nail-biter of a game. It's a good thing it didn't go into overtime. I don't think my heart could have taken it.

YAY STEELERS!

 

[Steffy]

We were the first on the street with TV and it was only 2 hours a night then they would replay it the following afternoon at 1pm the remainder of the time was test pattern and we were even fascinated with that!!

Ah technology!

Were you living in South Africia then?

Great pictures!! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks ....and thanks jen too!

 

[Tammi67]

Glynis. It is so wonderful of you to do so much to make your neighbors trip magical. You are a true fairy godmother as you make dreams come true.

Blueeyes. Welcome back.

Great designs posted by all.

I've been helping my 4th grader complete his project on wolves. He decided to make a wolf habitat diorama, brochure and t-shirt to accompany his oral report. He has great ideas, but it ended up being a lot of homework for both of us. Here is the t-shirt design, though I think he wants it to only say Wolves now

Here is the diorama. Paper mache, paint and a lot of trees that we made out of garland. We also put a stream in there, but it's hard to see. The moon actually lights up.

There is a little picture of a deer herd in there as he needed to show the wolves prey and I didn't have anything else on hand.

Deb

That looks great! I would give him an A+ if I were his teacher.

Wow Jennifer! Glad your feeling better. It will take days to catch up, but, as you say, you'll enjoy every minute.

I can't tell you how good it is to see your cute blue Moonbeans sparkling at us again....

 

[Tammi67]

It's official. We put down our deposit this morning and are now DVC members. Thank all of you for your information, advice and well wishes. We are so excited. We aren't even planning to go until Summer 2007, but a least we know we'll be staying onsite . We have never taken the tour so that will be something else to look forward too.

Deb

Congrats Deb & Kitchensinkguy! Welcome home!

Speaking of DVC....what do you all use that gigantic tote that they send you for? Mine is still all wrapped up and I am trying to figure out what to do with it.

 

[Steffy]
