I was able to get all the supplies for the tie dye shirts last week, and couldn't resist doing them yesterday eve. DS9 was engrossed with the process, and was a BIG help with them. They look promising, but won't know till tonight how they are going to turn out. Will post pics of them if they turn out over the next few days. Did 4 different designs, but the most of one design was the Galaxy that I found online, and looked really cool. Not sure if I'd do it again, as it's so messy, even though I tried my best to contain the mess.

Sorry to hear about your job.

Yikes... That sucks.

It's a tough economy to be in. I hope you get back on your feet quickly and find another job.

Good luck.

Shandale, sorry to hear about the job loss. Hopefully you can find another job soon!

Sorry to hear that, I hope you find something quick, and can still make your Dec trip.

Thanks everyone!! I'm staying positive! Technically I could still do my December trip since I have money put back both for life emergencies and my WDW trip fund, but I'm playing it by ear for now.

I totally agree i love going in october or november, its a perfect combo of weather and lower crowds.. the fall is definetly the best.. i usually avoid the summer.. i went last year in august and totally reminded myself why... it was searing heat! it made it hard to get from point a to point b and we couldnt get as much done as we do in the fall because we pretty much battled through the heat all day! dont get me wrong because we had an awesome time but id prefer fall anyday!

I miss the days when I could go in October! That was my favorite time to go as well! We did everything we wanted (walked on 2 times or more sometimes!) and the weather was AWESOME!

Post some pictures if you get a chance. Would like to see them.

We like to have a few yardsales, nothing like getting money for WDW selling junk laying around, it's amazing the things I would normally throw out that people buy

The irony of the whole thing is that I offered to make DH a couple of shirts. He refused stating he didn't like tie dye. Well guess who want's one of the tie dye shirt I made...you guessed it DH! The kids are going to give him one for Father's day next month. I can see myself making another major batch of them in the coming months for birthdays and Christmas. Gave the kids a couple for their Fit and Fun day next week. Am pleased how they turned out. There's a few minor things I would do differently next time, but am pleased at how well they turned out.

Great pictures and great work on the shirts. May I place an order? DW wants to do some shirts for us this year. I'll have her take a look at them.

WOW! Need to use those commando skills on t-shirt manufacturing.

Thanks for all the kind comments on the tie dye shirts I made. What I did was take advantage of Michael's craft stores % off coupons. I figure that the shirts cost me $5.00 each to make, when figuring the entire cost out. I bought the large tie dye kit which makes 80 shirts. You need to buy at least one box of soda ash to soak the shirts in for 20 mins before dying them. I made 33 shirts, 12 each for the kids and 9 for me, as my thinking is why should the kids have all the fun??? The Galaxy design I found online, and was easy to do, once I got the hang of the prep on it. It took me combined 5 1/2 hrs over 2 days to do. If I were to do it again, which I intend to make another batch for the kids probably at the end of the year, I would do the following: I had 1 box of soda ash, turns out I needed 2 boxes, but made do with what I had. I would also use the round grate that I was using over a bucket, as you get alot over dye waste, and it's cleaner to do it over a bucket. Was using the grate over my desk covered in plastic, and problems with dye trying to get on the carpet. Had the over splatters contained by 99% due to excessive use of paper towels, that came in handy for cleaning up spills as they happen. It's not hard to do, but it's time intensive, but enjoyed the creative process. I would also soda ash and prep the shirts the day before, then dye them the next day, so long as you keep them covered in plastic. At least I've finally got the hang of doing them, and know what to do next time. Now it's off tomorrow to the largest garage sale in our city YAHOO!!! Let's see what mayhem I can get into there. Have a great evening everyone!

Got a little Disney Magic in the mail today, the MVMCP tickets have arrived, Now I can officially say the Nov trip is 100% on, I wonder how many people already have MVMCP tickets in hand, considering they only went on sale like last week

Sounds like you have a business opportunity, if you could get your cost a little lower and sell them for $7.50. Sounds like a lot work though which would prevent me from even trying. That, and I have no artistic ability.

I haven't even bought my MNSSHP tickets yet. I need to get on it.

One thing I've tried to do for years now is be That Guy at Monsters Inc, this year I have a plan, I found a shirt that says Don't Be That Guy, and I'm going to top it off with Orange Bird Ears, I should stand out and hopefully score the prized I Was That Guy sticker
