We just arrived home from our first
Disney Cruise and here is a picture of the outfits that Lisa made for my kids for the Pirates in the Caribbean Party...
Great outfits and glad you guys had a fun cruise! The kids look so cute in all the pics!
Here is a picture of the corset I made for DGD. She just wore a peasant type shirt underneath it and wore her petti.
Love the corsets! Thanks for the instructions - I may have to give that one a go!
Just completed outfits for yinyanggirls Big Give. I used the same fabrics as before for Sea World outfits.
for Phoebe (Wish Child):
for Tessa (little sister)
together:
These are too sweet! The girls will love them!
Love them both - but it is too funny, cause I just made a tink-inspired dress for my cousin's daughter that is a simply sweet top with petal skirt (mine is purple, though!) I will post pics soon...great minds think alike!
So sorry about the rest of her family, but this angel is just precious....
Great pic of you and the girls, Anita! And I love the blinged shirts!
DH tore his calf muscle in MMA class Friday night
Hope your hubby is doing ok....
tvmingirl - Moving from Hawaii to Chicago? Yipes. Will your husband be an instructor at boot camp? It was the suprprise of our lives
when our younger son told us he wanted to enlist in the Navy. After getting over the shock we've supported him totally and went to his "graduation" at Great Lakes Naval Training Command in Chicago. Very impressive ceremony.
And, the air fare to WDW has got to be a LOT cheaper than from Hawaii!
Sorry I missed this earlier... Oh wow I hope the transition from Paradise to Chicago isn't too much of a shock, LOL (at least you don't have to pay high shipping costs, and getting to WDW is cheaper). Where are you from originally? Or I guess I should ask, what kind of weather did you grow up in? Because our weather changes with the wind, but winter is generally pretty brutal. Last summer was unseasonably cold with the funky climate change and shift in weather patterns - and our winter was actually warmer overall - but more extreme. Will you be on base, or residential? Maybe we should PM a bit
I'm in the FW burbs in an equestrian farm community that hit a bit of the xurban sprawl during the boom, just outside of Naperville. I love it - LOVE IT! Kind of the best of both worlds, nice close community feel and new schools, but our costs are a wee bit more contained unlike properties inside/closer to the belt or up North.
It is going to be a huge change for us - we have lived in Hawaii for five years, but before that we lived in Fredericksburg, VA (Washington, DC area) and I grew up in West Virginia, so at least we are used to snow (Even if we haven't seen it in a while...). I am not looking forward to the climate change, but am thrilled hubby will be on shore duty for a while - five years of sea duty is a long time! He will be teaching at the A/C schools, which is advanced specialty training after boot camp. He will actually be home most nights - yay!
Above H2O, my hubby shocked his mom when he enlisted, too! Hadn't mentioned the military at all, had been planning on going to culinary school, and decided to join when his friend did! Best decision he ever made - he has been in almost 14 years now (and I have been around for 7 of those years). It is not always an easy way of life for a family, but we enjoy it.
We are planning to live in the Ft. Sheridan community, which is base housing, cause it is supposed to have the best schools. If anybody knows any good pre-schools, though, please let me know. My daughter goes to school here twice a week and I would like to keep that schedule or go to three days a week. Kittycat, thanks for the pm and I will definitely be pm'ing you back - It is great to find out about the area before we get there!
I will be in and out over the next couple weeks, ladies - my mom and dad are coming for a visit and we are thrilled! I pick them up from the airport in a couple hours and I can't wait!
