Blizzard Beach, Layout

This is another layout I did at our retreat of Blizzard Beach in Disney, Orlando. This place was really 'cool'!! Everything is made to look like snow, was really neat. There was hardly any line-ups either, so another plus! Ashleigh really enjoyed the water park where you walked on 'iceburgs'. We all loved the lazy river!!

Have You Ever Seen Such A Thing????

Remember back a few posts I was saying how the squirrels have attacked our Christmas lights? I thought I would show you this. Have you ever seen such a thing?? We have been here almost 16 yrs, so we've had ALOT of Christmas's here. We have NEVER had this happen. I went out last night and plugged in the lights and the unplugged what wasn't working to avoid fire etc. So, we're out the whole roof, 3 tree's and along the deck. That's alot of lights. We still have alot that work, thank goodness. We have one of those music boxes and the light's go to the music, it looks pretty cool. But I do miss the one's on the roof. Anyway, here's a couple pics of what the squirrels left of one of our strands of lights.

Isn't that CRAZY??? There's ONE bulb and it doesn't even have the cover on it!! They've literally taken every bulb but one of this strand of lights. We have NO idea where they are putting them. Weird huh???

Here We Go and Only Time Will Tell!

Well, I'm going for most posts in a morning award here! LOL! I have some other exciting news to share. A friend of mine recently bought a local magazine and she was offering 2 mth's of advertising for half price!! So, I decided to put my business card in for my Creations By KW handmade cards as well as my Regal ad as well. Apparently 5000 copies go out in print, so, wish me luck!! I'll let you know how it goes! It went out yesterday!

If you're interested in keeping up to date on all the specials and what's going on, have a look and become a follower so you don't miss a thing!! Thanks so much!

My Photo Made The Local Paper!

Last week we had a quick but heavy rainfall come through and when it was done, there was this beautiful rainbow, so of course, I had to get my camera. This is one of the shots I took and I sent it to the local paper and it was in there on Sunday! It was so neat to see my work in print! I've had ppl coming up to me asking if it was me, kinda neat! I think this is one of the brightest rainbows I have ever seen. Here's a couple more that I took...the one above is the one that went in the paper.

Now on to this week's challenge! This week, the challenge at Danni's Flutter By Wednesday is open, but you have to have a butterfly, fairy or an angel on your card. I decided to use a fun card I made my friend Kelli at our retreat. The stamp is from The Angel Company and I added a little butterfly on top! This was a little (well, about 5 x 8..lol) name card I made for Kelli! We had a buy/trade table at our retreat and she had these stamps on there, which I grabbed as I thought they were adorable! I asked her why she was getting rid of them and she said frog's aren't cute when they have warts...Well!! I had to prove her wrong and I did!! I think he's quite cute, warts and all! We had a lot of laughs over this one and she admitted he is cute, but too late!

Be sure to visit Danni's blog and link your own creation in Mister Linky and don't forget to visit the rest of the DT for TONS of inspiration!!!!!!!
