Image
Some of the fun stuff I plan to order in the next couple of weeks.... Halloween paper - need I say more? Well, here's MORE! HA! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. Halloween in Wonderland - woot! Fall is right around the corner, and it's my favorite time of year. And I am completely crazy for Halloween! My Halloween project for Altered Pages will be a kit in September, and I'll post pics here as soon as I'm allowed to :) Visit Altered Pages for some super awesome artsy goodies.

A Little Witchy Card for You

Image
 Here's a little witch card I whipped up for Altered Pages   I LOVE this sheet of images from Altered pages.  It's all witches and a saying.  I'm actually using this sheet for a kit for Altered pages, too! The kit will be up next month, and is a quick project done on a 5x7 canvas board. You can add some ribbon to the back and hang it on the wall, or use one of Altered Pages' stick on easel backs. This card was super quick to make.  Grey folded card with some Black Soot Distress Ink swiped on the edges. Black tulle wrapped around the card and knotted at the top. Blue corrugated card stock with Black Soot swiped over the surface. Print the witch on white card stock, cut out, distress edges, and add to card with pop dots. AND...... here's your wiener! Sammy, doing his bat impression, just in time for fall!

A Fabulous Walt Disney World Vacation

The hubby and I took our FIRST EVER vacation, alone... No, we didn't even take a honeymoon (I was hugely pregnant). We've been married 17 years. We went to Disney World,  ALONE,   WITHOUT  our kids! AND IT WAS FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!!!! We went to Disney World for the first time in 2009, when Bill died. We were taking him to Florida to put his ashes in the ocean,  and decided to take the kids to Disney World, too.  It was our first ever family vacation! This trip was my first time on a plane. Pete has flown before for work. I was SUPER nervous, but excited, too! The flight to Orlando was fantastic- super smooth, about an hr and 20 minutes. I even talked to the pilot on the way off the plane, and thanked him for an 'uneventful first flight'.  He congratulated me and patted me on the back LOL We spent 5 nights in the Caribbean Beach Resort. We only went to two parks- Epcot and Animal Kingdom. We took our time,
