Disney Pt. 1

Disney
Oh how we LOVE Disney


This will most definitely be the last time we go in August
I knew it would be HOT...its not so much the HOT....its the HUMID
Ugh....so yea....October or November in the future.
Did I mention that we LOVE Disney.....it truly is a place to leave it all behind....be a kid.....enjoy yourself.
It's my favorite place on EARTH.Miss CJ on a bike at Animal Kingdom
If you have been there you more than likely have a pic of your kid on it too
It screams for you to toss you child on it.

Animal Kingdom ..... one of the treks

tattered flags....just plain purdy.

Ha...Amy go get Luke...eat your heart out lil' buddy

A chic on a speeder bike

no doubt with her spray fan on the back

The spray fan

One of the most expensive things we purchased considering its purpose

but WELL worth the money in the end...kept Chloe and I both cool.....

well...cooler.

One of many bus rides.....hot...and tired...the fake smile tells the tale

Norway in Epcot...one of the few countries with a ride...The Maelstrom

after the ride you are in TRUE Disney fashion dumped out into a gift shop

where you can purchase viking hats or just try them on.

My sweeties.....shark lunchlots and lots and lots

and still more

waiting

See those smiles.....

We heart or as is popular to say right now...big fat puffy heart Disney

have a happy day

have a happy day

Schedule

In a matter of days my daytime routine will change.
I will have to sort of stick to a schedule.
I work for my family....so I have never really had a TIME to be at work
Chloe and I have had easy mornings.....no rush.....no time goals.

School starts soon and
you know what this means.
We will HAVE to have a schedule.

I need TIPS.....IDEAS.....Ha...if there are any....FUN ways for getting the kiddo outta
the bed and moving.
What helps.....?
Music.....making their own breakfast.....picking out their own clothes...does anything at all make them want to get out of the bed ???
What things is it just BEST to have done the night before ???

I need your advice....I simply do not want a battle every morning...I know a battle here and there is expected...but I want our mornings to be .....nice.

Thanks
have a happy day

The Stories

A while back
I opened a VINTAGE SHOP
I love love love it
To me....there is nothing better than some "old" stuff
Well except maybe the stories.....on either end of said stuff.
Where was it?
Who had it?
What were they like?
and in selling it I love hearing the stories of where its goin' or the memories it brings.
So much that I almost feel like asking each customer
Why are you buying this ?? This beautiful yellow fabric is goin' to Washington State
to a group of sisters who are making curtains out out of it
for an old airstream camper they are restoring.....how fun !!!

This fabric is on its merry way to Washington State too
to a lady who was so happy to find it.....she had a dress made of it when she was little
She said she can't wait to see this very special Blast from the Past.This beautiful vintage bed sheet went to a girly in Texas....to be transformed in to a maxi dress
What a great way to reduce...reuse and recycle.

and finally this darling little book now resides in Colorado

with a lady whose mom used to read it to her every night

Imagine seeing the photos and reading the words again.

Embrace Vintage......its so fun and wonderful

Etsy has so many wonderful vintage shops.....go browsing....you never know what you may find.

have a happy day

Doubt It

Today is the day of the BIG scrapbook convention
You may recall.....I went last year
and Summer and I took photos of some guys we saw there
Its way funny to see men being forced to drag their bodies around the scrapbook show
So as fate would have it this year....Summer is out of town.....my scrapbook convention partner...GONE.
I asked hubby to take me......I don't particularly like goin' in to the BIG city by myself...this event it in the middle of Charlotte...not my cup of tea.
He groaned.....said oh....I might.
It's 8:28 am......wonder if he is getting up to take me ???


Doubt it
hurumph......
Let's be honest though.....do I need another sheet of paper or one more embellishments......
Doubt it

Have a happy day

Wings

Wings
Oh my
Just another sign that Chloe is growing up waaaaaay to FAST. What kid eats buffalo (HOT) wings ????

Let alone a girl

Why I don't know...but wings seem like such a guy food to me

Ha...look at that glimmer of girl-ness

fingers sticking out all over....so as to not touch the wing....Ha

A must after wings

the clean-up

don't forget the Giveaway.....scroll down

have a happy day

I've Been Away and A GIVEAWAY !!!!

Would you like to own this towel.....no?? Not your style...not your color??
Well maybe you can give it to a friend.
It has been quite a while since we have had a good old' fashioned giveaway
So let's get on with the show.I have been away.....one last Summer fling
before Chloe begins.....oh it's hard to even say....Kindergarten.

There are several clues in these pictures.....you probably need to have been there before to even have a clue....but hey....you can guess....right ?

You can guess as many times as you like

To win you have to be the name (number) I draw and you have to have the correct answer on that entry...so for instance.....if you guess 5 times...but I draw the time you were incorrect...you do not win.

so guess guess and guess some more ..... be as specific as you can on location...the Country...State or City...may not be enough.

I will pick a winner on Tuesday

Some of you out there KNOW where I was......sorry....you can't play....its just would not be fair....right Shelly and Crystal ?? (love you girls)

The clues are subtle...

I didn't want it to be easy....

Have fun !!!

have a happy day
