I had so much fun with this last year!! Hey Trudi have you made any more cakes with that pan You did such an awesome job with that. You are really talented and I don't know if you shared it with your daycare kids but if so I bet they LOVED it or whoever you DID share it with loved it cuz it was AMAZING!!

Can't wait to get started shopping as well. I had SO much fun shopping last year!!

I was just at Target a few days ago and they hadn't put their stuff out yet so I am anxious to check out them and walgreens to see what fun stuff they have. They are the ones that had those awesome light up mickey head ghosts and pumpkins last year (walgreens).

I only wish I could go to DL to shop but alas Target and Walgreens will have to do but they have some fun stuff too!! I don't know about the Disney store anymore. Ours changed and it seems to be all kid stuff now I miss the old one.

Anyway this is going to be so fun and I can't wait to start seeing what people got!! Yippee!!

Wish I could join you! I'll be coming home from a shower up north. Have a great day!

I love the image too! It has to be reversed first. Who knows how to do that?

I was at Target, Kmart and Walmart the other day too. Nothing was out yet, but they were trying to clear out all of the "back to school" stuff, to make room I'm sure.

Okay NOW all the names are officially out.

Thanks Beth!

How was your Doctor's visit? Is all well?

Cathy and Kerri- It's nice to see you joining us!

I'll be making another cake soon. I did share it with the kids and they loved it !!
I can't believe I was at DL all weekend and didn't think to pick up something for the exchange.

 

[kelmac284]

@ Beth, yes thank you SO much for doing this! I was JUST thinking that and Thanks Cathy for the reminder! I am sure we all are thinking the same thing LOL. We SOOO appreciate all you do with the exchanges and the diva thread and all of it!!

@ Mel, yeah I was thinking the same thing too that they were getting all the back to school stuff outta there, they usually have this one area in the back of our store that is for "seasonal" stuff. It usually has the summer furniture then goes to back to school, then halloween and then what you ask, of course straight to christmas LOL! They had cleared all the shelves but for a few random notebooks and such so I am sure by now it is filled with halloween goodies. Can't wait to see what they have!

@ Trudi, I figured you did share it with the kids!! How fun! You are so talented!! I had so much fun shopping for you last year and I hope you liked everything. I can't WAIT to do it again! It is almost as much fun shopping as it is getting the stuff!

 

[mommaU4]

Thanks Beth for taking time to set this up, you truely are wonderful!!

My pleasure! It's been awhile since we did one and I missed hosting them. If this goes well, and if there's enough interest we can do another Christmas stocking exchange like last year where we all open on the same day at the same time! That was fun too.

How was your Doctor's visit? Is all well?

I'll find out in about a week. And if it's not, well, I'll just do whatever it takes to get well.

Some Targets get things out faster than others. I remember even last year we have 2 Target stores within 15 minutes of each other, and one had stuff out before the other.

And they didn't even wait to get Christmas out!! It was kind of funny because they put out like 4 aisles full of Halloween and one right next to it of Christmas ornaments and stockings. LOL

If anyone is planning to do a little exchange shopping this weekend, good luck and have fun.

Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
Voices whisper in the trees, "Tonight is Halloween!"

 

[tinkermell]

Beth,

I did some yesterday!!! I had fun going through all of the stuff. I hope by tomorrow, Target is ready for me!!

 

[VintageDisneyRules]

My Target only has the candy out so far.

I love the image too! It has to be reversed first. Who knows how to do that?

Mel - first copy the picture to your computer, then insert it into a Word document. Under "View" make sure that the drawing toolbar is visible. Click on the word "draw" at the front of that toolbar, then "rotate or flip", then "flip horizontally". Voila, backwards image ready to print for a t-shirt transfer

 

[eatmypixiedust]

The one Target I went to had the Halloween buckets and pillow cases I posted. They got in some costumes and surprisingly, I didn't see candy. They had some decorations but not many.

Another Target only has costumes but that's about it. I'm hoping they will have Halloween Domo stuff again this year.

Thanks for answering that. I had no clue!! lol



I am done with my girl's Halloween costumes! Party City had all their stuff out so I finished up what I needed for them, and now they are ready for Halloween. Adam won't wear a costume. Party pooper. He'll wear a Halloween tee, but that's about it.

I am sure over the course of this week most, if not all, the stores will have their items out, but when it comes time for the mail by date, if anyone is having a hard time finding items to include and needs another day or two, just let me know. I think everyone should be fine though since we have until the 25th.
