[xoktenox]

Thank you soooo much! It came out great, I really appreciate it

 

[mickeysmyboy]

So, I've made it to 49 days!!

We had a bit of fun last night! We had our little celebration complete with treats I made! We watched the vacation planning DVD and my MK DVD from my set of WDW DVD's!

Some pictures

John put on his Mickey Mouse costume from 06 because he knows Ryan LOVES Mickey! As you can see, it true! He gave him a great big hug!


DH and the kiddos wearing the paper Mickey ears I bought!


My cookies!


My brownies!


Ryan highly engrossed in the vacation planning DVD!!

I also finished a few things for DD yesterday, now I only have to make her dress and I'll be finished with the sewing and stuff. I still have to get the tees for the new ironon designs.





I got the suitcases out of the attic today!! I'm trying to keep the promise I made to myself not to start packing until my ticker runs out of months! I have busy week this week, a school thing for DD Monday, kiddos swimming on Tuesday, brownies Wednesday, a school thing for DS on Friday. The next week the kiddos of 2 half days of school for parent/teacher conferences. I'll spend most of the afternoon Monday at the school meeting with their teachers and speech therapist (both of them get speech, obviously) then it's off to PA for Thanksgiving with my parents! Then it will be December!!!!!

LOL!! It's funny, we've been going a year and a half between trips. It will be just about 10 months when we go in January. It almost doesn't seem real!!

Changing the subject, keep your fingers crossed for my sister and her family!! They were flying home to NJ tonight after a week in WDW. The weather in the NY tristate area is NASTY tonight!! There were tornado watches around the time they should have landed in Newark!

Thank you soooo much! It came out great, I really appreciate it

I'm glad you like it!!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

In honor of 50 days I made a little slideshow of some of my favorite pictures of our last 2 trips! DD7 and especially DS6 look like such babies in the pics from 06!! It was right before DS turned 4! Man, I wish they would stop growing up!!!

Slideshow!

I had to link it with Webshot because photobucket was taking FOREVER to upload it! LOL!! I hope you enjoy!

 

[sherreis]

Awesome job on the artwork! Quite impressed! What software do you use?

Shhhhhh!!! The Lapu Lapu was supposed to be a secret!!

LOL!! It was actually beer, but I tried to pretend it was Lapu Lapu!! Let me see, in 50 days I can have a Lapu Lapu! We're eating at Kona on 1/4!!

Dang- those Lapu Lapu's were good! I could go for one right now.

Love the slideshow! How did you get the music? Now, it's 11:30 at night and I'm going to be singing "it's a great big wonderful tomorrow...." My boys enjoyed COP this trip. That was the first time they saw it. I'm new to all this movie/slideshow thing. Is it easy to attach audio?

 

[mickeysmyboy]

HOLY COW!!! My album that all my pictures are in for my PTR went bye-bye!!! I don't know what the heck happened!! I'm going to try to fix it!

So for now,

PLEASE EXCUSE THE APPEARANCE OF THIS PTR WHILE WE UNDERGO SOME RENOVATION!!!​

I fixed the last 2 posts, the one with the pics of our 50 day party and the link to the slideshow! I must have accidentally deleted the WHOLE ALBUM!! Darn it!!! My project today when Ryan naps is to put the pictures back in the thread!!

 

[ILuvCrush]

Hi Melissa!!! Sorry it took me so long to get over here and all caught up!!

I have more time to enjoy other PTR/TR now that mine's DONE

OK a few things... in random order...

I'm glad that not being able to see most of the pics is a 'technical difficulty' because I really want to see them and I was bummed I couldn't!!

I Love love LOVE the DISigns you've done!! I'm just starting to put together my new binder(s) and am totally in awe of your creativity

Your kiddos are the cutest things on 2 legs...really!!

I love the plans... you go girl on the big WDW rebate for January!! George Bush has nothing on that... I'm sure it's a much better 'stimulus' than anything the gov can come up with......MICKEY FOR PRESIDENT!!!

I love Southwest too

I'd love to visit the beach sometime...it's very cool that you get to live there

I adore the outfits you made...especially the mickey applique one for DD (the PANTS totally make that outfit!!) And the new sparkly one with the skirt. My DD7 would love those!! I'm a bit 'needle-challanged.' I'm willing and able to make costumes and stuff...but make something that they would wear for real ...I leave that to my Mom!! I'd love to know the 'how to' on the pants (with the applique mickey on the shirt)...I may have to try that!!

OK...I think that's it... I'll keep caught up now! I'll have to go back and check out the pics, when they're all fixed

That was such a cute idea you came up with for the 50 days countdown Even DH got involved with the paper Mickey ears Where did you get that cookie cutter for the Mickey cookies? I want it! My computer has some issues (which is why I better get a laptop for Christmas lol) so I couldn't view the slide show I'll watch it later at BF's house since his computer is fully functional And those outfits for your DD, soooo adorable!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

I think everything all fixed now! I sure hope I don't do that again!!

i just wanted to put a little of my input in before i started reading.
haha

Thanks!! I use photo impact. It's great!

The slideshow I did with Windows MovieMaker. I believe you can download it free online. I had it on my last laptop and started using it to make a picture movie to show at my inlaws 40th anniversary party. That laptop bit the big one after it got a virus. Luckily I had saved the movie and when I got my new laptop I downloaded moviemaker to finish. I used it make the slideshow because I knew I wanted to use Disney music for it. But, you can make a slideshow in photobucket and sites like that . I'm not sure about adding music into them though.

Paula

Hi Paula!! Thanks for coming over!!

I'm pretty sure I put things back close to the way they used to be with the pictures! UGGHH! I think the natural blonde in my took over and delete the whole album and not just the one pic I wanted to delete! STUPID!!! If I had read the warning that came up and not just hit yes...

I think my kiddos are pretty cute too!! But, I may be a little bias! But, really I'm very lucky! Their realllllly good kids!!

Disney really is doing their part to stimulate the economy!! I definitely think Mickey should be president!!!

I keep meaning to take a walk down the street and take some beach pics for you guys! But, I remember at night! the pitch black, dark beach won't make for good pictures! Today is way to cold and windy!!! I'd freeze!

Thanks for the compliments on the Designs and clothes!!! the sparkly out is made with hot fix crystals. You can buy them in Walmart and craft stores but I buy them online because I can get them in bulk cheaper that way and their better quality. They stick better! I make a pattern on the computer, then I have this sticky plastic paper stuff (kind of like a giant piece if tape) that I lay over the pattern, I place the crystal in the sticky, when the crystals are all on I iron the design onto the tee or whatever I'm using. I had been selling outfit on ebay last spring and early summer but DH is affraid disney will sue me or something. There are lots of boutique outfits on ebay so I wasn't too concerned but he was worried!

That was such a cute idea you came up with for the 50 days countdown Even DH got involved with the paper Mickey ears Where did you get that cookie cutter for the Mickey cookies? I want it! My computer has some issues (which is why I better get a laptop for Christmas lol) so I couldn't view the slide show I'll watch it later at BF's house since his computer is fully functional And those outfits for your DD, soooo adorable!

LOL!! DH in the ears!! The one thing he's learned in 9 1/2 years is to humor me from time to time!

I got the Mickey cookie cutter on ebay. I'm terrible about ebay!! LOL! DH balances our checking account and wonders what the heck all this paypal stuff is! I've gotten a lot better, but I'll look for something and see a bargain and then I'm hooked!

You may not have been able to see the slideshow because I accidentally erased everything! I put it back now!! Enjoy!!

Thanks for the compliments on DD's outfit!! All these compliments are a good ego boost!! LOL! I'm making myself a I love mickey tee too!

Melissa....
I enjoyed the slide show.
The pictures of your WDW pre-trip party are great. I loved the cookies.
Were there any Lapu,Lapu's served at this party?
Mickey was so cute...not to mention the three little Mickey's with their Mickey ears.
Daughters outfits are amazing, who would think someone who is so sweet,kind and smart(not to mention blonde) could also be so talented
I am glad you got everything back to normal.

Glad you enjoyed the show!!

The cookies were yummy, but I think I was the only the one who ate any! Whats the deal with that?!

There were no lapu's at the party. It was strictly G rated! LOL!! well aside from the fact DH thinks we don't need to have the puppy fixed and he's reached that age. Lets just say that he wanted to be more then friends with the blanket he sleeps on

My Mickey's are indeed cute! I can't argue with that!! John was so excited to put that costume on again! He was Mickey 2 years in a row, 05 and 06! He's too cute! The funny thing is he truely has Mickey's personality!! He's fun, easy going, loving, pure of heart, funny, with the occasional temper!

Thanks forthe compliments on DD's outfits! She's very excited about her "bling!" Girl after ny own heart! she loves sparkly, shiny things!!

Hanging around with you guys gives my blonde-self a nice ego boost!! LOL!

I still can't believe I erased the whole stupid album!! That was just genius!! LOL!! UGGHHH!! If you could have only heard all the swears I had running through my head when I realized what I had done! I kept them in my head though! I didn't need little ones repeating it!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

This is so not funny!

I started feeling icky again yesterday. Last night I started feeling a rumbling in my chest when I breathed. I went to the dr this morning and I have pneumonia!!!

I'm so not amused!!! She said that I most likely had residual inflamation from the broncitis and that the infection it viral. I'm on 2 inhalers now!! 1 twice a day and 1 if I can't breath!

She gave me a nebulizer treatment in the office which helped a lot but that was at 10:15 this morning! Now I feel like I'm breathing fire everytime I breath in and I feel like horse do-do!!! I have MIL (without whom I wouldn't know what to do!!!) lined up to take Ryan for tomorrow. All I want to do is go to bed!

I have to feel better by Friday!! DS has a lunch at school for Thanksgiving that he's really excited about!! I can't miss it!!!

I'm going to end my own pity party now! I just needed to whine a bit

take care of yourself...and feel better!!

[Khalana]

Oh, no, I'm so sorry you're feeling bad again!!!! I hope that peumonia gets kicked out sooner rather than later!!!

I was catching up after the last few days and I love the stuff you've made and the slideshow too. Lydia was watching it with me and commented on every photo! That's Mickey Mouse! That's the Castle! That's the ball (Epcot )! We quite enjoyed it.

 

[sherreis]

Melissa,

I'm so sorry to hear about pneumonia. Please take care of yourself - you need to get some rest girl! Drink plenty of fluids and all I can send is cyber chicken soup. Wish I could deliver the real thing to you.

 

[xoktenox]

Feel better!!!!

 

[AUdisfan]

Oh no! So sorry you're sick again. Feel better soon and get lots of rest. (as much as you can with 3 kids ) Let us know how you are tomorrow.
