Walk-ing Back to Disney! COMPLETED 10/16! A Fall 2014 PTR!

[disneychic2]

Hi Terri!

Love seeing the Indy shirts up close. What a fantastic job you did on those! And the shirts for BFF…she will be thrilled! Honestly with two little ones running around, I don't know how you find the time to do all that you do. Twelve shirts in one day???? Yikes! You are AMAZING!!!!!

I'm so glad your FP+ selections are coming up soon. Once those get done, it is so much more relaxing from there on out. I hope you get A & E too, and think you will have no problem. Just skip to your first MK day and get those first. I could have gotten them every day we are at MK, no problem. But I'll send extra pixie dust just for good measure!


Have a great day!!

Guess what guys!?!? I only have 4 MORE PAYDAYS until Disney!!



I am sweatin' it just a tad, last year at this time we had hundreds of dollars wirth of gift cards saved, this year, not so much. Only the $150 worth from Maddie's birthday.

I think it will be fine though, as it gets down to the wire we will all happily live off sandwiches and meatless spaghetti if we have to to reach our goal amount of spending money to take on the trip! LOL!

We basically plan to double what we took last year, and we had a great amount, we never felt hard pressed or that we didn't get to buy something we wanted, and with this trip being longer we really wanted to have double the amount. I have no doubts we will reach our goal before our 4 paydays is up!

In other VERY exciting news, I did something today... actually I should say that I BOUGHT something today....

MICKEY'S NOT SO SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY TICKETS!!!​

I wasn't really worried about them running out for the date I needed, but it is still a HUGE relief to have this done, it was the last big purchase I needed. All that is really left now, trip-wise not shopping-wise, is the stroller rental and our hotel room in Austin for the night before our flight!

FYI- Ordering my tickets was kind of a pain. I tried to do it on the Disney site first, but for some reason when it went to check out my total was like 3 grand, my WHOLE trip was in there. Like as if I hadn't purchased it. I was afraid to delete anything so I just nixed that and called the Disney line. Well, after over 15 minutes on the phone I had bought my tickets all without ever having to speak to a real person. Creepy.... the automated voice lady led me through the whole thing! Anyway....

I can't wait until the tickets come in the mail! I love knowing Mickey mail is on it's way soon! I also have heard of people getting a reminder to book FP+ around 6ish days before the 60 day mark! So I am excited for that too! I know it's just a reminder, but it still excites me!!

I have been making tee's a LOT this week. As you all saw, I recently did the Indy ones and half of Lori's gangs tees, and I finished those this week...

​

And I also helped a friend make 10 of these minecraft ones for a birthday party...

​

And, I wasn't gonna show this one yet, but I am horrible at waiting, lol, so here's my hubby's Frozen shirt, it's not complete, I still need to add the word "Chillin'" to the bottom!

​

I can't wait to put ALL the outfits together for you in one big re-cap!! I just need to finish up a few things first and I will get right on that!!

Other than all the above, not much else going on!! 72 DAYS LEFT!

Thanks so much Lois! I have fun doing the shirts, and really like 10 of those were a super easy pattern, as you see above, so it wasn't a huge feat, lol. But true, I do work with my kids always running around!!!

I'm peeking out of lurker land..... Your stuff is sooooo cute. You are amazingly talented. Our dates are the same.... Were 9/27-10/5 at pofq. Hopefully we're get to bump into you one day!

Yay thank you for coming out of lurkedom for me!!! Thanks so much for liking my stuff, being on the Dis is so good for my confidence, I swear.

How awesome that our dates are the same! PLEASE stop me if you see me!! I would love to say HI!

What are some of your trip details? Are we in any of the same parks on the same day?

[hokieinpa]

I can't wait to see all of the outfits together! Your girls are going to be the best dressed at Disney for sure!

Halloween tickets are fun and Mickey mail is always great! Now just imagine when you get your Magic Bands...

Did you decide on decorating your bands? I feel like there was mention of that at some point!

 

[Jackiemarie21]

I love all the shirts! I love Chris' Frozen shirt, very nice job! I can't wait to see all your outfits together!

 

[annegirl]

Woo hoo! The frozen shirt is so cute!
I love seeing all of your outfits!

 

[Chicago Mo]

You really are doing an AMAZING job!!! I wish i had time to make stuff.. I just dont.

you are going to have the cutest, best dressed family in all of Disney!!! I am EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!

 

[JoeyEmmaMomma]

Very excited to see all of your outfits in one post. I've just started shopping for our kids for our March trip. One of my favorite parts!

 

[SarahSlink]

I'm blaming you for my crazy thoughts about making a few shirts for our trip... and for thinking about decorating our magic bands when they come. I draw the line at shoes though!!!

Seriously, all your shirts have turned out so well! I am totally jealous of people who can get something accomplished while their kids are around. I am not one of them. I started making a list of 3 things to get accomplished each day and I'm lucky if I cross 2 of them off! Oh well!

 

[DMGeurts]

Hi Terri... Just stopping by to say Hi!

I've been breaking in my new shoes every day... I am still very excited about them. I think I may wear them to town today... I cannot wait to wear them in Disney!

Loving all of your new shirts and everything! It's all coming together so nicely. I hope you are going to do live updates for us on FB? And here?

D~

 

[disneychic2]

I hope you had a fun weekend. Judging by the pics on FB, you had a fun "adult" time at the River Walk!!

I do love that Frozen shirt! What do you do? Find clip art or use a coloring book or what for the patterns? Then you trace them onto the freezer paper and use an exacto knife to cut them out? Then use what kind of paint to stencil them? Sorry for all the questions. You do such an amazing job. No runs or leaks of any kind. Just perfection!

Have a great day. I know you'll be productive!

Pretty much! I find a pic and print it, trace the outline to freezer paper, cut out with some very small and sharp scissors I bought, iron on the shirt, then use fabric or acrylic paint with a stuff paintbrush to paint on, then immediately peel away the freezer paper while the paint is still wet!

Glad you like them! It's the only kind of short I am good at since it's pretty easy, lol...

And yes! Kid-free weekend! Going to pick the girls up later this afternoon we had so much fun but I miss them!

 

[Denovagirl]

You should! I swear they're easy, the kids
Could even do them!

Yay! Glad they're working out! I went on a shoe mission this weekend myself, I'll do an update later, my computer won't turn on so I'm on my phone...

Yes! I can't help but do live updates! It's too exciting not to share, in fact last trip I had to wait until the end of each night to post, bc my battery would die, but this time I am buying a portable charger, so I can do lots of updates!!!
