Hey guys. I've visited this thread a few times and honestly am blown away by the talent and creativity on this board. My little Adri (short for Adrienne) was diagnosed with a brain tumor in January of this year. She had surgery to remove most of it and is doing fine. We are taking a wish trip to Disney in July. I posted a few requests on Kellybell's thread but I know she is bogged down. Our trip isn't until July but Adri is having an EEG in a couple of weeks. She will have to be sleep-deprived so we will be staying up most of the night and I want to pack it full of fun activities. I'm trying to plan some fun stuff to do to get ready for our trip, including making t-shirts for her and her brother as well as a pillowcase for autographs and maybe some other stuff if I can get my creative juices flowing. Her EEG is in 2 weeks so I don't know if that's too short to get anything, but if any of you could help us out, I would greatly appreciate it.

For a t-shirt design, I would like something with her name in a princess design. Her specific wish was to go to Disney and meet Cinderella. I found something for Cooper, my 8 month old, from Kellybell's 4shared site.

For the pillowcase/autograph thing, I'd like something with Mickey ears and maybe Mickey & Minnie that says "Adri's Wish Trip 2010"

Also, if any of you have any other creative ideas of fun things we can make/do to get ready for the trip, I'm all ears!

Thanks so much.
 
Check out my "mickey's grand welcome" file in my 4shared file in the link in my signature. You will find lots of great things in there if you want to decorate your hotel room and/or leave surprises from Mickey and the Gang, Tinkerbell or the Princesses. There is a "princess" certificate and id from either "the Queen" or the "Fairy Godmother" in the "princess grand welcome" subfile.

I also have a pirate certificate and ID in the "drivers license and certificate" file.

If you need some fun "disney" things to do for your sleep deprived night...check out my travel games file...there are lots of fun games that you could print off and play throughout the night. They are meant for traveling but if you are watching tv/movie you could look for the images for the "bingo" cards and scavenger hunt. If you laminate them and use dry erase markers you can use them more than once.

There are also paper dolls (Milliepie also has amazing ones in her shared file) and a few other fun things...poke around. Here is a thread that discussing different games and has Milliepie's paper dolls:

Finally, here is a "what do you make" thread that may give you additional ideas for your trip:

I know it isn't quite what you were asking for...but I hope it helps!
 
I just had another idea for your "all nighter" ...I recently saw where one mom had the fairy godmother ring the doorbell and leave gifts. Maybe you could enlist some help and have someone knock on the door (so they don't wake up your little one) and leave gifts every hour all night long. Then she would have something to look forward to. They don't have to be tons of grand gifts...maybe just fun things to get ready for disney. Go to the dollar tree as they have lots of disney items, that you could fill up a backpack with for $10.

I couldn't resist not making something for your special trip...so I put a bunch of things in my photobucket. (There are 10 things in all...several t-shirts images, 2 name fill DISigns...couldn't decide which font I liked better...and one autograph cover) If you like them, make sure you save them as I clean it out weekly to make room for new requests. Here is the link:

If you wanted a fun project with Adri...you could purchase some fabric crystals at Walmart or one of the hobby stores and for one project that night you can "bling" out her disney shirts.
 
Oh my goodness thank you so much. I have one request - I tell people her name is Adrienne so they will know how to pronounce Adri when we see it (we get a lot of mispronunication), but she definitely goes by Adri. Could you change those designs to say Adri?

Thank you for your help!!
 

I should add that the last time we had an EEG scheduled and were to keep her up all night, I had a plan of how things were to go. But that night went downhill very fast and we ended up in the pediatric ER and then the PICU with a brain tumor diagnosis. It was the worst night of our lives. So part of my plan for this scheduled EEG is to erase all of those bad memories and just make it a very fun night!
 
I changed them all and reposted them in my photobucket in the link above.

Hope your night erases all the memories. Did you like the DISigns?
 
Love them!! Thank you so much. One request - the one that says "Adri's wish trip"... can you make that the full mickey head instead of just the ears? Thanks.

I added it to the photobucket. Take some time and look through people's shared file and you will find lots of things that you might be able to use. Natalie (Donatalie) has lots of GREAT blank DISigns that you can personalize. I also have a some in my 4shared. Look in the "meet the DISigners" sticky at the top of the page and you will find links to people files.

Here is a thread that will teach you how to personalize them if you have MS Word:

Just thought of something else that you could put together with her that night if you wanted. I'm not sure how old she is but I have a journal set up in word that you can print out and can bind at home. I go to Walmart and buy the metal clips that open up (they are in the office supply section). Then you punch holes in all of the pages (I made three per page), put the clips in and use fun ribbon to embellish the clips and help dress up the book. The clips come 8 to a pack and I think you can get plain silver packs that have several colors in them. The are pretty inexpensive...under $3.00 I believe. For the journal, look in my 4shared and it is in a folder called "WDW Kids Journal". It doesn't use a ton of ink as the background is white, but has lots of characters throughout.

You can also make nametags that evening with your contact information on the back. Here is how:
At Walmart...look where they sell baseball trading cards and they have hard plastic covers for cards sold in a pack of 35 for under $3.00. Make sure they are the hard plastic kind. They are called "Ultra Pro Toploader Series" and are 3x4 inches. Slide the name card and contact information (in case you are seperated from your children...heaven forbid), then can punch a hole and attach to lanyards. You can also use the same concept and make luggage tags...instead of lanyards use cable ties to attach them to your luggage. I have some luggage tag images that you can use in my 4shared for name tags and/or luggage tags.
 
Just remembered something else fun you can make...bottle cap necklaces. I have images for them in my 4shared. If you google "bottle cap necklace directions" you can find how to make them. My niece makes them with washers and magnets to attache to pantyhose, leather cord, ribbon, etc.

I bet she would have fun making those during your all night disney party. They are pretty inexpensive to make so she could even make some for friends.
 
I just realized that the autograph cover that I made you had 2009...so I changed it and put it in my photobucket with two more "Adri" images. If you go back to my photobucket and it still has 2009...click the refresh button and it should update the image.
