Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!

I hope you're having a wonderful start to the new year. As for myself, I'm looking forward to a new year with a whole new set of possibilies. Last year was filled with heartbreak and wonderful blessings. So we thought it'd be fun to start this year off with a trip to Disney!


My family loves Disney. We're crazy about it. All the magic, the fun, the excitement. There's nothing like it.

I've had people (not many, but some) ask why we always take our family vacation there. Why? Because it's the happiest place on earth!! And I'm taking advantage of the magic while my kids are still young. Don't get me wrong, it's magical at any age. But it's a special kind of magic for kids. 

There will be plenty of time when they're older to do all the 'other' kinds of family trips. And I'm so excited that one day I'll get to hear those little child squeals of delight in seeing a favorite Disney character...just one more time :) But that won't be for several years...


Anyway, I thought I'd share a few goodies I made for this trip. Of course, the kids always wear their Disney gear when we go. We took a trip up to Atlanta with my friend Kellie & her kids (who are also going with us to Disney) to the Disney store last week so we could stock up. I had hoped to make some appliqued shirts but I just simply ran out of time. Thank goodness my friend Christie made a couple for me!!


I also made a camera strap slipcover for the occasion...

I'm really happy with how it turned out! Btw, I'll have one of these up in the shop once I get back :)


I also make my kids' autograph books. They love having their very own books so I'm happy to do it. I'll share pics of those when we get back. You can check out the ones I made for our last trip here.

I'll leave you with one last photo...the reason I take my kids to Disney. For moments like this:
