Back home from vacation!

We have been gone from home since August 2nd! When we left home we made our way down to Florida and spent a couple of days at the beautiful ocean front Lido Beach Resort on the Gulf of Mexico. The kids had a blast playing in the sand and water and we toured the lovely St. Armand's Circle. After soaking up the surf and sun we made our way towards Lake Buena Vista to Walt Disney World which was to be our location for the next 12 days! We started out at the Old Key West Resort in the French Quarter and it was lovely. The kids really enjoyed the sea serpent slide at the pool and we enjoyed a beautiful carriage ride at dusk throughout the Old Key West property. This was the first time we had tried this and would highly recommend it to anybody making a trip there! Our first two days at WDW some time at Downtown Disney, The Boardwalk and pool time!

Tuesday, August 5th was our first day in the parks and of course we started off at the Magic Kingdom! We had 10 fun filled days in the parks, celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. I was even lucky enough to meet up with 3 Cricut Sisters while we were there! CaughtaBug (Helena), Just Scrappin (Laurie) and last, but not least, Disney4us (Sherry!). It was so wonderful meeting each and everyone of them and their lovely families! Even though our time together was short, I'm so happy that we were able to cross paths!

We had so many wonderful moments during our trip and I cannot wait to return!

Once we got home we were here for 2 days and Jim had to go to Ohio for work and wanted us to come with him.....so off to another hotel we went! We are heading back home tomorrow morning and I have one week to get the boys school clothes and supplies purchased and get us back on some kind of normal schedule!!! Whatever 'normal' is!

Looking forward to getting back to my Disney message boards, my Cricut board and my Cricut and scrapbooking!!!! It's been so long since I've created anything! Good thing I'm only about 3 weeks away from a scrapbooking weekend away!

Sick to my stomach!

I just found out that the 35 cards and tin that I donated for the auction to benefit the Make a Wish Foundation only went for $60! I literally could throw up right now knowing all the time I put into them. I think next year I will just be making a monetary donation. I know every penny helps, but I can't believe they went for this little.

WDW Layouts from 2005 & 2006

This was a LO of Tower of Terror that I did that opened up in the center of the page

Here it is opened up

This is one that I am very proud of! BC (Before Cricut!) I think that this Cinderella LO

took me longer than any LO I've ever made, but I was so happy how it turned out!

Two Paper Doll card creations

This card was made for a friend of mine when she graduated from Nursing School!

I made two of this card. One for my Son and one for his best friend. They both turned 8 on the same day. Notice that the I customized the snake from the Animal Kingdom cart to make an "8"

...even more Disney cards!
