The Top Three Meet Dis-nee (CMO Contest, Part Three)

[DISgeeksfromDC]

"Hmmmmmmmmmmm," says the five foot nothing girl......

Also, I don't really know what having a "winner" means in the competitions:

Grand Prize Voting Period: Individuals who go to http://www.dreamcmo.com between 12:00 a.m. ET on April 14, 2008 and 11:59:59 PM ET on April 21, 2008, ("Grand Prize Voting Period") will be asked to view the three (3) Grand Prize Video Applications and vote for their favorite. The Finalist Prize Winner who receives the highest number of votes during the Grand Prize Voting Period will be deemed the Grand Prize Winner.


So what do you think???

I dunno, Ann!

I'm wanting to believe KigerKat's theory:

Maybe to help the voters decide who they are voting on? Marshay (I think?) and I have pledged 20 extra votes to whoever wins each competition. So, even though I support Tripp, Justin will get 20 votes from me for winning the stroller derby.

Also, Justin addressed the whole competitions/voting situation in his mass e-mail posted earlier (and partially cut-and-pasted below):

"Please keep voting! They assured as again tonight that while the contests will be fun and will provide a lot of great video footage for them to use, they actually have no bearing on the end result of all of this. It is entirely in YOUR hands. The votes will determine the winner and I would love to represent you all in this position!"

I guess I don't really have a problem with the current set-up as long as the selection process (and voting system) is clear up front. At the very least, it keeps things interesting for the people lurking at home!
And I totally appreciate the added entertainment value the video-taped competitions will bring to this contest!

I just found it a bit odd that the Pre-Show video would emphasize each contestant's stature. ...Especially since -- in a true interview -- such practices could be interpreted as discriminatory.

Didn't mean to stir the pot... I'm officially choosing to believe that it was all meant in fun -- I hope!

Going way OT again...

Here is a link to the house we are trying to buy:

And Mrs. Fleagle...it has a mudroom!!

WOW! It's Beautiful! Ok, jealous again! It really is beautiful......best of luck. When will you know? Have you already put in an offer?

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

In my mind my whole house would look like her room, neat...organized....color coded....in fact my brain actually does work that way, it's just that I don't have time to get it done. I wonder why?

Oh! I am so with you on that, Mrs. Fleagle! (... And, I don't even have four kids!)

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

JUST SPOKE WITH CATHIE!!!

(well really could barely hear Cathie and she couldn't hear me at all)

The parade was going on in the background and she said to tell everyone here that they are getting ready for the Loudest Crowd Competition (hopefully I heard that right...I rechecked the schedule to get it in context)!

She will let us know how it goes!!

TOO MUCH FUN!!!! I FEEL LIKE I AM THERE!!!!

Too cool! Keep us posted, Cat!!

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

can't find yet, maybe disney.com?

I just left her a voice mail to clarify.....I have been known to misinterpret a thing or two in the past .

I have just got to get some work done.....just one more refresh! just one.....

 

[KigerKat]

Thanks!! We have a contingency on it until we sell our house...Not a good time to sell a house now...We have at least 2 showings a week, but no offers yet.

That would be so cool if they did stream it live! I hope you hear back from Cat soon!!

Jenn,

Where did you get all the paper trays and storage bins. Some look more retail storage. Did you find them online?

I get a lot of display catalogs for my business, but none that are like that...
And who put it together for you....And would they come build an addition to our house and you can come design it for me...and while we're at it I could REALLY use a mudroom too....oh and maybe add an extra bathroom? Hmmm, maybe we'll just stick to the scrapbooking room.....let's get our priorities straight, right?

And when you're done designing Mrs. Fleagle's "Scrapbooking Room"... Maybe it's time to take the DISnee Resort Family's version of Mission: Organization on the road!

Oh, I like your idea of a [virtual] DISboard Scrapbooking Weekend, btw!

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

One word: portable amplifiers!

Ok, that's two words. But what the heck, it works for the Seahawks.

Now you're talking!

Ooh, me, me!! I love to organize!!! I spend more time organizing my scrapbooking room then I do scrapping in it!!

I'm in for the scrapbooking weekend!

OK, I lay down for a couple of hours and when I make it back to the thread I'm 5 pages behind. I think to myself "Wow, I must have missed some really important news." Come to find out, it was all about scrapbooking. I mean, come on guys (HMF, FTC, BTM) we can do better than that. Guys scrapbooking, what is that all about???

Thank you so much for all of the compliments. Scrapbookers really put their hearts into their pages and it is so good to know that other people like them.

Okay, here is the layout from Key West. I have not added the journaling yet.

Here is my room - please pardon the mess as I am still organizing and trying to figure out where I want everything to go. I need to go back to the Container Store and get 1 more Elfa rack. (I feel like a proud parent):

Okay, I promise I'm done being a thread-hog.

And to think I was going to introduce my DW to this thread. Well, ya'll can just think again. If I showed her these pictures, my kids would have to forget going to college.

Drooling with envy.....I'd show you a picture of my scrapbooking room...but I don't have one. We are busting out the seams of our house!

In my mind my whole house would look like her room, neat...organized....color coded....in fact my brain actually does work that way, it's just that I don't have time to get it done. I wonder why?

We should plan a disboard scrapbooking weekend....even if it's done at our own homes and then post the pages later? Maybe that's already done on other more scrapbooking oriented threads? We'll ask Marshay...she knows everything!

Hey, Mrs. Fleagle, if this will make you feal any better, let me show you a picture of DW's scrapbooking room.

Very cool house!! I love the front porch!!

So are you guys sound sleepers?? Just wondering since the firehouse is close by...

Brad don't give up on me! I have been refreshing and searching for news.....just got some too!

 

[KigerKat]

We had to think A LOT about that! Right behind the house is a cul-de-sac where a lot of our friends live, and they say you never hear the fire station. The station is technically in our neighborhood, right by the back entrance. They're not allowed to turn their sirens on until they are on the main road. Once we found all that out, we were okay with it!

Plus, we'll never have to worry about our house burning down!

 

[Marshay]

It's about preserving memories for a lifetime and reliving the magic of your family wherever you go!!!

OH, that's interesting...I thought they'd do it right out of the garage.

I'm in for the scrapbooking weekend!

Ok, sounds like we've got several already that could use the first ever DIScrap Weekend.....so should we give ourselves a few weekends to get ready? Any suggestions? My only "please no" weekend is May 17 & 18th. Other than that I'm good. Oh wait.....you'll also have to give me a weekend to FIND my scrapbooking floor since I don't have a special room like SOME people . Hmm, which FLOOR should I try to find?

And maybe we'll get someone to start a thread where we can post the pictures so we don't alienate all the non-scrappers here.

Ok friends.....I HAVE to go teach. I've already sacrificed my shower for the day....sorry about that....... but I'll be back tonight after 9:00.

Love y'all......

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

Cathie just called!!

Justin won the Loudest Crowd Competition!!!!

She wanted me to reiterate that these competitions are just for fun....they have NO IMPACT on the competition with regard to winning.....ONLY VOTES COUNT!

Cathie said they are having a blast and Justin was very sweet and got her a VIP pass for viewing the parade...

She will be posting pics and all later.

The reps there said the contest would be a live feed on the main site. I told her that that never happened.....

FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend is going to Disney in June, and she showed me a bunch of cool new Disney items they are coming out with soon! I can't wait to order some (okay, all) of it! Although...I fell in love with a cute Tinkerbell album at (gasp!) Archivers recently. She'll kill me if I bring that to one of her crops!! (or at least give me the speech again about how great CM products are and how they spend thousands of dollars every year testing....)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sorry for going completely off topic here, but once you bring up scrapbooking....

I will have to look into the Disney stuff. I have a lot of Disney stuff but we all know that it will get used! When I go my friend's Creative Memories crops, she tells me that I bring too much contraband.

Contraband = nothing CM sells
