Yo ho, yo ho, a bounceback life for me LEAVING TOMORROW 9/12!!!!!!!!!!!

[OhioDisneyLover]

Last year an awesome designer from the DISign thread, Lisabelll, made us a stick figure family that I ironed on shirts for us to wear. She does awesome work. Check out her stuff on the DISign threads.

I decided to change our shirt from last year and make one for this year. Here is what I have so far. Granted, I stink compared to what Lisabelll does.

Jenn, I was thinking of asking her if she could put all of us on one! What do you think?

Here is the one I edited from last year that has just me, Joe and mom.

Yay me! i just extended my trip by a day! Woo hoo!

Checked the airline and the tickets went from $350 to $178 so I booked. Didn't even tell DH first...just did it!

So, we land at 9 a.m. and have the entire day on our first day instead of landing after 12 noon and then we leave one day later at noon so we have a few hours in the morning.

I am so happy............

Now to plan day 9 and the morning of day 10!!!

I am on the line with Disney trying to extend our ressie at the same resort. I am hoping it is not going to be an experience like making our ADRs for May! Ok people, not looking good. Just got transferred again. Yikes. What is going on there these days???????

Thanks. I can't take credit for the design though...just the modification. I wish I could do what some of those people do on the DISign boards. They are awesome.

Yay, Joe wasn't mad about the extra day!

I changed our ressie and my mom's. Single occupancy is a killer. They really make you pay. Her total cost is more than mine and Joe's put together. Granted she has to by a 10 day hopper but still. It's ridiculous.

 

[inkedupmomma]

love love love the shirt! and of course we would love to have a shirt with all of us on it! I wonder if she would do one for me of just my gang as well!!

Also I am sooo stoked you are staying that extra day now!

I totally love that you started your PTR almost a year before your trip. DH thought (thought? How about THINKS) I'm nuts for wanting to plan so far in advance.

Hi Beka,

I get the same thing from my DH. I drive him insane just about every day with Disney talk. He drives me to work in the morning and I a blabbing all the way there (30 minutes) at 6 a.m. about it and asking him where he wants to eat, etc. And I expect him to be listenng to me and all he does is a whole lot of this. If that isn't bad enough, I spend all weekend on the DIS.

Glad you joined me over here!

Hi Amy,

Glad to have you. Yep, we are planning a Star Wars weekend visit with my brother. It will also hold me over for our September trip.

So, I keep watching your thread for those pictures!

Hi Heather,

I was able to extend so we will be at CS for the entire 9 nights. We were going to do the Poly but packing and moving just sounds like work! I keep telling myself one day, one day, I will stay at the Poly. Maybe next year for our 10th wedding anniversary.

Hi Sophia.. subbing..

Followed you over from my PTR..

Love the tshirt design! Looks very cute.. The best I could come up with last year for our family trip was some tie dye ones.. we looked a hot mess but we did get some compliments.. You would have thought I was pulling the kids teeth getting them to wear them..

Cant wait to hear more of your plans..

 

[Beka]

'K, I'm all caught up on your PTR. How's your dad doing? I'm guessing he got a diagnosis.

I saw yesterday that the DISigner that does the stick figures isn't designing them any more but someone else is personalizing them. There is also a link for us to go out and make our own, which I did and will post today. I'm so happy that they are sharing. What awesome DISigners they are! And so nice of them to share their work with us!

Hi.
Nice to have you join us! So, I want to see the tie dye shirts that you made! Please share!!! You can post them here if you want to or on your PTR! PLEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEE?

'K, I'm all caught up on your PTR. How's your dad doing? I'm guessing he got a diagnosis.

Hi Beka,

Yes, he did. It's cancer. He has to have some sort of shots first. There is one that lasts a month and then he goes for one that lasts 3 months. After that there are 40 rounds of radiation. The doctors do not want to do surgery. I have to drag details out of him and he won't come back here to go to our doctors. I am fortunate to live near one of the leading hospitals in the world but he won't do it. I told him if royalty from around the world come here, why can't he? Stubborn.

Thank you for asking about him.

If you don't mind my asking, what kind of cancer is it? Both of my parents have had (and survived) cancer, and my great-uncle is currently battling lung cancer that has spread, so if you *ever* need to talk, I'm here!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Here are the shirts that I worked on over the weekend thanks to the wonderful DISigners here on the DIS that are sharing their work. They are so talented. You should go to the DISign thread and check them out.

I have not decided which ones to actually make yet so help me out and let me know which ones you like. There are still a lot more that I want to try and do but let's face it, I am not an artist so I'm sort of limited to what I can make.

He has prostate cancer. Unfortunatley they did not catch it as early as they had hoped. Thank you for the offer. I will PM you.

So I spent the better part of the day scrapbooking my last trip. Picked up where I left off. I can't post them to my last TR because the thread is closed so I thought I'd post them here.

 

[Dr_Finkelstein]

Your scrapbook is looking great!

It's something that just doesn't work for me - saying that we still need to go through all our photos and pick out the ones for the holiday photo album

Di,

I never was into scrapbooking and in fact felt like it took too much time. My sister was the one that talked me into trying it and now I am hooked. I just don't have enough time for it, or not as much as I wish I had.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Here are the last of my pages for today.

I have two days of our last trip to scrap yet and I am done with all of my Disney scrapping....that is until next trip.
