Feeling Trunky?

I made this card for my Mom...she's having a meniscus repair(knee)...and I know she'll definately be feeling trunky. My Mom and Dad go to Arizona in the winter, Canadian Snowbirds, when they're  there...I order online stuff like crazy and ship it to their address. Shipping to Canada is a fortune sometimes...whereas...in the US...shipping is free mostly. They came home this month and one of my purchases was more My Pink Stamper stamps...I love these. I saw this sentiment and I couldn't resist.

The Crystal Palace-Disney World Layout

Another layout done from my Disney trip scrapbook.Yippee!! This is of one of my fav restaurants in Disney World. I usually like to book a lunch here at least once when we visit Magic Kingdom. It's so pretty in this restaurant...like a giant green house...with air conditioning...thank goodness...I've been known to melt(witch). I don't know about you...but I can't eat hot food...or barely eat at all when it's super hot outside...or heaven forbid in a non air conditioned restaurant. There are quite a few outdoor places to eat in Disney...I NEVER go to these...besides melting...I also sizzle in the sun. Oh...I forgot to mention that Eeyore is my fav character...yeah...I know...that's my daughter with Eeyore in the layout...I also have a pic with just me and Eeyore...well...wouldn't you know it...Eeyore is one of her favs too. This layout was frought with complications...I've never had a layout where I literally made mistakes..left, right and center. The shadow for the letters didn't weld on the first cut? What? I kept sticking things down crooked with my ATG gun...ARG! I had to do some creative stamping...I must have redone that 4 times...Yikes! Thankfully it turned out great in the end. Thanks for stopping by...

This is another layout from my Disney trip last summer. Epcot world is a layout featuring pics of us around the "world". Love the bright colours in this paper. I was finally able to go outside to take some pics for my blog...the weather here had been less than desirable. Freezing rain...then gasp snow. Then rain for 2 days...now we have no snow and it's sunny again. So I have been working on things...but have been unable to take pics. Thank goodness for the weather change. I have to get cracking to finish this album...thanks for dropping by :)
