Family at Christmas

This is a picture of my mom and dad, brother and myself from 2007. We have very few pictures of the 4 of us together so this picture means a lot to me. We don't get to see my brother that often since he is in the Airforce and lives a couple of states away. We were hoping to see him this Christmas, but he just couln't make it.

Where dreams come true...

Another notch in my Disney book! YAY! I have lots of pictures of me and th girls in front of the "iconic" places in all of the parks taken from the Photopass photographers. When they found out that I pre-purchased the CD, they usually took lots of photos and this is one of those. Just a good picture of me and the girls. It was nice to have the Photopass card on me so that I could be in several of the pictures with the girls.

Lori from The Scrappy Shack was nice enough to send me a package full of her custom diecuts and wow!!! they are fantastic. She has lots of different style and colors available in her etsy shop. She also does custom orders as well. Take a look at her Etsy store for the whole selection that she offers. She is always trying to add new things as well, so keep checking back. Here is the link to her store TheScrappyShack

My brother's family

I am going to work on getting a bit caught up with my regular pictures while also getting through all of my Disney stuff as well. I am a little over a year behind on the regular pictures, so it isn't too bad, I guess. This is a picture of my brother and his family from Christmas 2007. He is in the Airforce so we don't get to seem them very often. I am very proud of the man my brother has grown up to be.

Project 365 - Week 6

So here is my next installment of my Project 365 album. I am actually kind of surprised that I have kept up my enthusiasm for this. I really enjoy doing it and I hope it stays that way throughout the whole year. I was able to throw away 3 empty packages after completing this layout which makes me feel even better about it. There is no feeling like actually using up all of something that you bought and has been sitting in your stash forever. I am hoping that I can clear through lots of my leftover stuff in stash.
