Via Napoli Layout

I've been working on our Spring Break 2011 book and we ate for the very first time at Via Napoli.  It was wonderful!!  Here is my layout from our experience.

I used Natalie's Place Designs - Lunch at Tony's kit and it worked perfectly.  I also used a a great freebie by Lisa Campbell Designs to create my wordart.

Be sure to take a look at this amazing kit.  It's great to scrapbook pizza night at home or a romantic dinner for two.  I thought since I shared the layout I would share the wordart as a freebie as well.

Really have been feeling under the weather with a bad cold since Saturday.  I'm hoping to feel better soon as I need to get scrappin on this book!  I hope you enjoy the freebie.

Have a magical day!

Guess who's going Cruising? We are!!

First I wanted to say thank you to all of you for your kind words and support during this government budget crisis. I'm so glad they came to a temporary agreement and pray they will finalize our budget by the new deadline.  Thank you to all our troops and government employees for all you do!

Now on to the best news...Neil and I have been talking for quite some time about taking another cruise.  The plan was to take one 2015, when I hope to retire, and celebrate by taking a 10-12 day cruise.  We enjoyed our cruise in 2010 so much since we basically had no communication with the outside world we decided we couldn't wait any longer!! Here are a few of my favorite photos from our January 2010 cruise aboard the Disney Magic.

We booked a June 2012 7-day Western Caribbean aboard the new Disney Fantasy!!  I'm so excited and as you can see on the right the countdown has begun!  I have our confirmation number and room assignment in hand.  I can't wait to sail away into the world of Disney and total family time.  Adrianna is already making a list for Santa for a new dress for formal night!

Wishing all of you a magical evening!

Northern Exposure Freebie Add-On

I didn't realize how long of a week it has been until today.  Over a week out of town, one day off, work a Sunday drill weekend and then back at work for 4 more days.  WOW..can you say exhausted.  Not to mention a government shut-down when I'm active military!  Looks like I still have to go to work but not get paid for any days after 8 Apr 11 until the budget is approved.  Please pray they get it all figured out soon for all of us affected by this shut-down.  There are too many to count and it will adversely affect millions! 

Tonight my son had a soccer game and although they lost 3-2 John Wesley scored a goal!  I was so proud of him!  I was happy I could make it to see his game as that sometimes is a challenge with my work schedule.  He has another game tomorrow so I'm hoping he has a great time and does well again.

Alright let's get on to happy thoughts...ghee seems like I should have the word Disney or freebie when I mention happy thoughts.  So since I can't be at Disney how about another freebie add-on to go along with Natalie's Place Designs Northern Exposure release.

My favorite I've saved for last is my Le Cellier layout.  We love to eat at Le Cellier in Canada.  My husband's family is from Canada so this is always the first place he likes to go when visiting EPCOT is Canada.

MouseScrappers Weekly Challenge 30 Mar - 5 Apr 2011

I almost missed this weekly challenge and I'm so glad I took a peak as I LOVE the participation prize!!  This weeks host is Donna (poohaddict) which as you can tell the prize fits the name. :)

Here is the challenge....It is going to be All about Disney in your life!
Anything from Birthday Parties, Clothing, Disney Store's, Movies, Anything BUT NOT FROM A PARK! Check out his prize!!!

Oh my goddness how was I ever going to do this layout.  I have 1000's at Disney World photos but very few from home.  Some from Disney on Ice and H.S. Musical on Ice but I wanted to find something special.  I found a photo of Adrianna from 2007 when I was taking Easter photos and found the perfect picture.  It all started with Minnie Mouse.  Our very first trip to Disney World was in May 2007 so just prior to our trip I took this photo.

I love how it turned out!  She was so little here and what a magical moment.  Who would of thought that one trip to Disney World in 2007 could of started a love for Disney that is now part of our daily lives. 

Wishing everyone  a magical evening.

Natalie is an amazing person and her 2 children have autism.  They have made this collab charity kit for Autism Awareness Day and all proceeds from the kit will go to Autism Speaks, a nonprofit organization to benefit children with Autism.
Here's our kit!  Huey's Uncle:

Here is the layout I made from her charity kit.  It was so much fun using this for Duffy.  Since he is such a new character I haven't been able to find many kits or other goodies to complete those type of scrapbook layouts.  This kit is amazing for Duffy!!

To help out with such a great cause I wanted to provide a freebie as an add on to Huey's Uncle.
