It's early Thursday morning.

It's early Thurs morning and I never posted anything last night because I didn't have any pictures to show you and it was late when we got back to the resort.  Laurel, Connie, Julie, Rolayne and I spent the day at Typhoon Lagoon.  Donna had a headache so she just hung around the resort (also, she doesn't like the water).  Diane went to Universal with a friend of hers.  What a sweetheart.  She brought me some Harry Potter pins for my collection.  Someday Garret and I are going to go there. 
Rolayne went into the wave pool with me but after she got knocked down twice she gave it up.  We all had to go the the Pearl Factory and get a pearl.  We each got a fairly big one and Laurel's was blue.  We decided to head back to the resort about 4:00 and Diane got there about the same time.  We had a quick shower and then headed to Downtown Disney for supper.  When we got there Diane and Rolayne decided to go for a hot air balloon ride.  The rest of us chickens just sat and watched.  Diane loved it and Rolayne looked a little green when she got off.  We went back to Planet Hollywood for supper because Connie had a card from one of the waiters that offered immediate seating.  We got to sit in a small little alcove all by ourselves.  It was good because the music wasn't quite as loud.  Today we're going to Epcot.  Maybe.  I ate a chocolate bar late last night and it didn't really agree with me.  Anyway I hope that's all it is. 

Disney Magic

Today we went to Disney Studios and we pretty much accomplished everything we wanted to do.  We walked about 8 miles according to Connie's pedometer.  Right now the girls are in the bathroom trying to get a picture of them all with their feet in the jacuzi. 

Diane took this picture of us in our 3-d glasses waiting to ride Star Wars.

After Fantasmic we went back to the New York streets to see the Osburn Family lights.  Here's a couple of pictures.

Day 2 of Disney

What a day.  We were at the Magic Kingdom from the time the gates opened until 11:00pm.  It was 1:30 before we went to bed.  But my internal clock says it's time to get up.  No one else is stirring.  Except the guy who mows the golf course right outside our door. 
We had a great time.  Rolayne rode Big Thunder Mountain with us for the first time and then Diane rode Splash Mountain with Laurel and I.  Her first time ever on any kind of roller coaster.  We saw two parades and the fireworks.  The castle is already lit for Christmas and it's beautiful.  I'm going to try and post a video on Facebook.  It'll be a first for me if it works.
Here's a few pictures.

If course we had to have a picture of Captain Jack.

Donna trying to get a group picture.  She must have had a wide angle lens.  I'm safe to say that because I wasn't in the picture.

The castle.

Laurel and Rolayne waiting for the Tiki Bird Show.  One of Laurel's favorites.

Day 1 of Disney

Here we are with a really nice guy that we met.  We were in front of the World of Disney store.  After we spent some money here we went to Planet Hollywood for supper.  It was really good food but way to loud.  Then we had a bus trip back to the resort on a bus that had no generator and was running on batteries only.  But we made it back and now we're trying to decide what time we want to get up in the morning.  Some say the earlier the better.  Some are saying "what about noon"? 

Last of the stockings

Yesterday was class day and so this is the last picture of stockings.  But if you check out Tamie Ackerson's blog she's got a couple of really cute stocking cards and they aren't Christmas.

These are the cards that we did in class.  You've probably seen a couple of these already.   I might find a card to post tomorrow but then it'll all be DISNEY.   For a whole week.  Yipee!!!!

What a mess.

I've got a king size mess in the Paper Palace.  And I'm exhausted.  But on the other hand I've found a ton of things that I haven't seen in a while.  But got to get it under control so I can have stamp camp tomorrow.  I'm hoping that Garret will come over for a while and help me carry some of the heavy stuff.  And tomorrow is the day so here's one more stocking card. 

Well, bummer.  I saved this card off the internet somewhere and I didn't know it would be so small.  It's a really cute card with the stocking punch used to make ice skates.  I have not seen the punch used this way before but I will definately be making some cards with ice skates. 
Well, gotta go haul in some more stuff.  At least it's been a beautiful afternoon.

We're getting closer

Today is Tues and stamp camp is Thurs.  Here's another stocking card.  You should be thinking about getting this stamp set and punch because now you've got lot's of ideas.
