Disney Tip Tuesday

Yes, I am a Disney fanatic! I admit it. Always have loved anything Disney. We have owned into the Disney Vacation Club since 2004 and since that day have been to Disney 8 times in 4 years!!! So over the years, I have become a pro at planning our trips to see the main Mouse himself. Several of my friends and DH's co workers have come to me for advice on their Disney trips and I love sharing those tips for you to have a great time on your Disney trip. So my first Disney tip is: http://allears.net/ Deb's Unofficial Walt Disney World Information Guide Website - It has so much to read about planning a Disney trip. You could spend a whole day just reading thru this website. I suggest that you sign up for the FREE weekly newletter first! Every Tuesday you will get a email newsletter with news, tips, special events and more. Print it out and read when you have time. Same for the articles/webpages on the website. Oh, you can also go to the main Disneyworld website. Which I recommend because you can view park hours for up to six months in advance! I book 7-11 months in advance with DVC. Insert "NUTS" here, I know. But it pays off. http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/index Check out the DisneyMoms Panel for more tips. (see link below right) I applied with another 10,000 people and missed getting that job. See other people are more Disney NUTS than me! I have so many many more tips to share! That is why I have to do TWO Disney tip days. Several of our local county neighbors and friends will be going to DisneyWorld coming in September for our fall break, so I hope that you will share my blog if you know someone going then or in the future. We are going then too. And it is all planned. :o) Have a magical day! Cindy p.s. you can see my Disney favorite website links on the right side below

Made for Monday

Hello everyone! This is super exciting to me!! After hearing all about Stampin Up convention from those who went, I am pumped up to get this blog really going! CEO Shelli Gardner from Stampin Up is even starting up her own personal blog today too!!! Then seeing how Kristina Werner's blog has taken off, makes me want to do the same with my blog. I wish! I hope!

So here is my 1st "Made for Monday". Actually, I made some of these last month for my SIL Lois and I just loved the card so I made some more this weekend. Just a "thanks" for checking out my first real bloggin day!

I used the following to create this card:

Whisper white, groovy guava card stock and Afternoon Tea designer paper

groovy guava, wild wabasi, and chocolate chip classic ink pads

Live your dreams stamp set

Satin chocolate chip ribbon

Thanks everyone for your support!

Have a magical day!

Here we go.....

I am so excited to get this blog really going. I went thru many of my favorite bloggers and got ideas on how to run this smoothly for each week. I came up with this weekly schedule: (i need a plan to stick to this) Monday - Made for Monday - what ever I made over the weekend to share Tuesday - Disney tips - share some of my great tips from my trips Wednesday - Wacky Wednesday - could be a challenge, a 3-D item or something fun! Thursday - Disney tips - more tip sharing and maybe a Disney scrapbook page! Friday - Festive Friday - something for the coming holiday season I will post a PFN (personal family note) of things going on in my life with my family to share. Like first day of school pictures which happen on Monday! Yikes! Yes, already! I also will post about my local workshops, a monthly card kit - available to purchase and more! So I hope you will continue to check back with my blog! It all starts Monday! Have a magical day! Cindy

Big changes in the works!

Well, after some thought about this blog site I have decided to make some changes to how I approach this blogging thing. Right now my time is spent on work and my remaining summer with my girls til school starts in August. So starting August 4th, I will be back in full speed! I want to add my love of my family and my love of Disney to this site for all of my friends and family to view. So have many magical days til then! Cindy

Graduation money holders

Hello! Here are the money holders that I gave as graduation cards for our grads Jessica and Alyson. I cased them from Jill on her website Jill's Card Creations . I love her creativity!

I used the following to create my version with:

Basic gray, real red, black and whisper white cardstock

Black and Basic gray classic ink pads

Black gingham ribbon

It can hold money or checks. Love this idea for a birthday gift as well. See you next time!

Have a magical day!
