In 2008 we went to the Fantasia Gardens and played Mini Golf for the first time at Disney World.  The kids had so much fun and mom had to take a photo as each hole.  My son got the biggest surprise on the 18th hole..priceless! I love this photo of him and now I have the perfect kit to do his layout!

Well I'm a big blue and green person so this kit was great for the Garden Grill and my special photo with Mickey.  This layout also goes along with this week's template challenge at MouseScrappers!

Not to be forgotten a freebie for all of you.  I thought the wordart title for Fantasia Gardens would be perfect.

Get Ready to Swing...

Natalie's Place Design is getting in the swing of things.  A fun new kit is coming your way that makes me think SPRING.  As cold as it is everywhere and the hard winter we have all suffered through I'm ready for some spring activites.  Stay tuned...

Wishing everyone a magial evening.

Saying Thank You

I went to the Vet today to take care of the bill I couldn't even think about paying on Tuesday.  The Vet Clinic and all their staff have been so amazing for the 5 years that I have lived here.  They took care of Mystic every time we went to Disney and were disappointed each time we returned that they had to give him up.  He was one of their favorites and I know that Tuesday was a difficult day for them as well.  To show my appreciation for all they have done for my precious Mystic I gave them this 5X7 for their wall. 

Next week I will return for the last time to pick up his remains.  I had him cremated so we could keep him with us always.  The house is so silent at night that it's hard to sleep. 

I know that it will get easier and I greatly appreciate all the kind words and comments.  It is comforting to have the hugs and prayers of others. 
As always wishing you a magical evening!

Mourning Our Loss

I'm having a very difficult night.  The only way I seem to be able to coupe with my lose is to write down what I miss so therefore I wrote this...

Mourning Our Loss

My precious Mystic!  I miss you so very much.  You were born 16 Dec 97 and passed away on 1 Feb 11.  I brought you home when you were only 6 weeks old and you fit in the palm of my hands.  You weighed only 2.5 pounds.  I remember when you were bitten by a spider when you were a puppy and I had to rush you to the vet the next morning because the welt on your head bursted.  They shaved your head and placed bright yellow spray on your forehead.  You looked like a punk rocker.

I miss how we would travel every weekend from Prattville to Gadsden and you would be my buddy watching over John Wesley when he was an infant to make sure he was alright.  I miss how when Adrianna was little I would lay with her at night and you would lay under her bench waiting for me to get up so we could go to bed.  I miss how you would go outside and then disappear and I would worry you would never come back.  Then we had to install our underground fence and you didn’t leave anymore.   I miss you going outside and when you would get to the tree sometimes a cat would jump from the bushes and you would bark and run!!    I miss your bark whenever I would come home.  I miss that when we opened the garage door I would open my door and you would jump in so we wouldn’t hurt you as we drove in.  I miss you sitting on the cushions on top of the couch above me so you could rest your chin on my shoulder.  I miss it when the kids would sit next to me and when they got up you would promptly take their place.  I miss that at night you would lay at the end of the bed and then when the lights went out you would get up and plop down against my back.  You had to touch me!  I miss how you would follow me to every room .  You would wait for me when I would shower, you would sit with me when I would fold and do laundry, and you would sit next to me at the computer as I typed and scrapbooked.  I miss how you would always place your head on Neil’s knee at dinner with those sad eyes but would never place it on mine.  I miss our rides in the car when you had to sit on my lap and lean against the window to look outside.  I miss how Neil and the kids would send you on a wild goose chase to find me in the house.  She’s upstairs, no.. she’s in the laundry room, no..she’s in the bedroom.  When you found me you would bark loudly to tattle that they were giving you a hard time.   I miss how Neil would convenience you to go into the bathroom and then shut the door so you couldn’t get to me.  You would always bark and bark but you would do it every time or how he would block a doorway so you could see me but couldn’t get to me.   I miss how you hated thunder and during the night you would try to sit on our heads and tremble.  I would put you in the bathroom and then you would bark wildly and I would have to sit and hold you until the storm passed.  We would end up 5 in the bed on stormy nights.  I miss how you would bark when I would dust or vacuum.  You would only bark at me and no one else.  Neil always said it was because I didn’t do it enough. LOL. .  I miss that you were always my test photo before I took pictures of the kids.  I miss that I didn’t take enough pictures of you and that I didn’t video you.    

You were my angel sent from above and were my steadfast companion. You were my constant through so much hurt and turmoil in my life.  I cried so many tears with you.  You never judged me but only loved me.  You were my first child of three.  You welcomed John Wesley and Adrianna and loved them as you loved me.  You then welcomed Neil and loved him too!

For the first time I cry not with you but for you!!  I miss you my dear friend.  Please know that one day we will be together again but know you are forever in my heart!  



Dancin' In The Streets Released

First, THANK YOU very much for your kind words for the loss of my beloved Mystic.  Your hugs and prayers mean a lot!!  The house, although has two very rowdie children is silent to me.  No clicks on my hardwood, no barking when we come home, no following me around the house, and no one laying against my back during the night. My peace comes from knowing he is no longer suffering but it still hurts...   

Today Natalie's Place Designs has released Dancin' In The Streets. It's so bright and festive and has tons of possibilities!!  Whether scrappin for a birthday, parade, celebration, or any party this is the kit!!  Plus it includes 4 alpha's!

Mourning the Loss

On my blog I always talk about the magical times and memories we have while at Disney.  A very big part of our lives we left at home in the safe hands of our local Veterinarian.  Today I mourn the loss of my precious Mystic.  He was 13 years old and died of cancer today.  I had him before I had my children so technically he was my first baby of three.  I miss him more than you can possibly image and we are all taking it pretty hard.  I know that he is in a better place running, happy, and without pain. 

This was emailed to me today by my best friend.  This is in memory to Mystic...

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
