Christmas Surprise

So our Christmas present to the boys this year is a surprise trip to DisneyWorld. YEAH!!! I wasn't sure how to tell the boys about the trip, and I was also worried about the fact they wouldn't have too many gifts to open. So I came up with the idea of having them go on a Christmas Treasure Hunt to find out what their gift is. At the end of the hunt the last clue is going to tell them to click on an icon on the computer that will have the following video for them to view. I know it's long, and they will probably guess what the gift is before the end, but I just couldn't help myself!! It was so much fun making it, and it has totally gotten me in the Disney spirit! So if you love Disney, and all it's cheesy magic, take a little time to watch and tell me what you think.

Christmas is in the Air

So I've been putting out all the Christmas decorations, and thought I should update the old blog as well. It just wouldn't do to keep the Thanksgiving decorations on here all the way through December. I'll try to post something new soon as well...Promise!

To Be a Mother

So I am by no means a prolific viewer of The Family Guy, but this has to be one of my favorite scenes. If you don't have children, you probably won't understand. If you do, enjoy.

Cuddles

This was a page I did in a scrapbook for Benjamin's Kindergarten class. They have a "Weekend" Bear that each student gets a chance to bring home. They have to do activities with the bear, and then document it in the book. Well, we took "Cuddles" to see High School Musical 3, and I think he really liked it. The bear danced the entire movie...seriously. If you know Benjamin you know how attached he gets to his animals, so he cried and cried the night before Cuddles had to go back to school. He's such a sweetie - broke his mother's heart.

Colorstology

So I did this layout as part of an online challenge several years ago. There is a website called Colorstrology that basically uses some voodoo, mumbo-jumbo to tell you what your personal color is depending on the day you were born. This color also supposedly offers some insight into your personality. The idea behind the challenge was to go to the site, find your color and then do a scrapbook page about it. It is all a little too "hippie - free-spirited" for me, but bottom line is that I loved the way the page turned out. I was going for a very graphic, advertisement feel, and I think I achieved it. And if you want to, check out the website. Let me know what your color is and what it says about you.
