January 2009. . . Calling all Snowbirds ~ Part III !!!

[MelXThree]

Mel- please share more about personalized invites for dinner. That seems like a great idea. Any links that will help? I am not crafty but might be able to manage that kind of project.

Let me start by saying - you may not think you are crafty but once you get on there and start looking around you'll get bit my the bug too! I have been making tons of stuff and I am still two months away

There is a lady named Natalie - she does the most AMAZING DISigns. She has invites to almost all the restaurants as well as other activities and Welcome Invites. She will personalize it for you or you can save her shared stuff and personalize it yourself.

Here is her link for shared stuff:

And this is her link to her invites thread:
www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1722700

She does lots of other stuff too!

I started looking over there too- I'm pretty crafty so I'm going to make some stuff I think. I'm making iron on tshirts/sweatshirts for all of us. For my parents I'm making one's that say Grandmom's/Pop Pop's Mouseketeers and putting all the grandkids names on mouse ears. I just started digital scrapbooking and I'm figuring out how to do it. I saved some of the DISigns for wrapping candy bars in too- Did you see the little nugget ones that you make to look like the characters with feet and heads?- adorable! Let me know if you guys come across anything else! I've been bit by the creative bug!

I too am making t-shirts. My boys are wearing matching shirts all week! I am a Disney Geek YES, I am making those nuggets - so cute! I know that my boys will enjoy these "little" things just as much as if I spent lots of $$. Also it is SO MUCH FUN!

I was just thinking about digital scrapbooking but I am worried about printing out all the pages. Will it look good? How much will it cost?? I'm not sure. I am going to start looking into it as soon as I catch up will the last year of pictures I haven't even touched yet

Good evening snowbirds! So I was checking into getting an autograph book early and I wanna custom make one but I'm not crafty. At all. Any ideas?

There are a few people on the Creative DISign thread that do autograph books. You just print out the pages onto 4x6 cards (easy) and ask one of them to personalize the cover for you. You can take it to a staples to get it bound or get a cheap plastic photo album to put them in.

Here are a few links to some of the people that make them:

Hope this helps

Hey Friends, tell me, what are you guys expecting the temperatures to be in January? It will be too cool to swim, wont' it?
Are you all planning to be in shorts or pants?

Clothing to pack:
Jeans
Shorts
T-shirts
Sweatshirts
Swimsuit
* I hope everyone can remember to pack undies and socks on their own!


Weather varies so much at that time of year. Plan to wear layers. My days usually are jeans and a t-shirt with a sweatshirt in my backpack for after the sun goes down.

 

[crzyred]

Oh and just to add....the swim suit....I'm from WI, I'll swim at any temp above 50!

 

[drakes]

I wonder about the place in Mexico.... we are eating there this time....

I was just thinking- have the updated the list yet??? I really need to check in more than once a day !!! I'll try to find the restaurant list and see if they have added the ones in suspense!

The digi pages MelXThree posted are pretty spectacular - if you wanted to know how some-one else did it, check out this post from the Podcast Boards:

My DDs and I are planning on putting our own together too - probably be a combination of everything else we've seen - some pre-printed stuff, some disney stickers and anything we want from our scrapbooking 'stash' to jazz them up a bit. We're going to use cardstock for our pages so that they're a little more durable, and I have a binding machine so we can put wire bindings on, then tie ribbons etc on the binding, (and tie on a sharpie marker so we always have the pen close by).

Good luck!

I love these ideas! I don't have a kinkos in my area but they will let me upload and then they'll bind and mail it back to me! Convenient if not a tad pricey. So worth it. Would it be weird to collect autographs at 21?

I better start working on my pages!!

Good Evening Snowbirds,

Hope everyone had a a great evening...I went to the Red Wing game, we won 4-0...great game.

It's gotten cold here the last couple of days...we got snow the last 2 days...I finally got to wear my new winter coat...it's very warm.

I have also been to the Disign thread...I'm making window clings, magnets for our door, and small posters for the window...they have some really great ones of the individual parks and ones for welcome families to the world.

Welcome to the new all the new Snowbirds.

Those are great too! I love have everybody has a diffrent idea!

I have been thinking about doing an epcot passport for my son. My DH thinks I am going overboard I can't help myself I want to do it ALL

Morning. Anyone want to go outside for me? Local weather says it's 18 outside but feels like 7. Yes that's a single digit. The only time I like single digits is when I'm counting down to go on vacation, otherwise single digits are just pointless.

Well I'm off to layer myself up. Have a good day and stay warm!

Oh yeah, I'm at 50 days today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


**thinking happy, warm, sunny thoughts**

Sending happy, sunny thoughts your way!!! We have an excess of them at the moment. It's 9.15pm and it's still 24C - that's 75F in your 'speak'. We're sleeping with the bare minimum and the ceiling fans on! If it stays any hotter overnight, I'm gonna have to turn on the airconditioning!

Good Morning Snowbirds!

I wanted to wish our beloved Mickey Mouse a Happy 80th Birthday

It's the best reason for a party!!

We just KNOW that packing that swimsuit is at the top of Jen's list!!!

Good morning Snowbirds!

Another cold day here in western PA. We got a few inches overnight and it is about 25 degrees out. Sounds like northeast Ohio got it way worse than us, they have a bunch of school delays already.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
