Disney Scrapbooking Pages at Neverland Pool


My whole side of the family went to Disneyland 2 years ago.  It was so much fun!  My parents stayed at the Disneyland Hotel (we're too cheap to stay there!!!! lol) so we'd never been able to use the Neverland Pool before.  We were super excited to swim there and I love these pages of the family there.
The top one I like because it is kind of a flip on what Ariel says - but this time we want to be part of her world.

Alice in Wonderland Scrapbooking Pages and Disney Digital Scrapbooking Freebie


I just loved the new Alice in Wonderland movie and since then there have been tons of amazing Alice digital scrapbooking kits around.  I was super excited to do some Alice pages and I love how they turned out!
The top one is so precious - you can just see how nervous he is to look at Alice and talk to her!!  So sweet.
The second one is at a door in Disneyland next to the Alice ride and Mad Hatter shop.  I think probably every kid in the history of Disneyland has tried to open that door!  And I hope that he always continues to believe and imagine and try to open the door :)

Here's my freebie for you.  An autograph from Alice that we got at Disneyland.  I extracted it and recolored to black and red.  It says, "Love, Alice".  Hope you can use it.  Thanks for leaving a comment if you download!

My Cupcake Sweetie


This photo makes me laugh!!!  We had Chloee's birthday at the cemetery that year and we had LOTS and lots of cupcakes.  He took advantage of that and ate a lot of them - or rather tried to eat a lot of them - really getting it all over himself!  What a cute cupcake sweetie!

Journaling: Did that cupcake for Chloee's birthday speak to you and say "Eat Me!"?! It sure looks like
it did! You got it everywhere! You make me laugh. You are so cute. My Cupcake Sweetie

My Funny, Silly, Adorable Boy


I swear I have the funniest, cutest boy ever!!!!  He is such a hoot.  Everyday is something different - of course a lot of the same too - those little boys love their potty jokes!!!  He's goofy and silly and sweet and loving.  I am so thankful for him and wanted to do some fun pages in between my hard (grieving) ones.  So here's In a Boy's World and MR. Funny Pants!  I worked on these over the drive to LegoLand that we just got back from - we had a great time.  I love them both because they just show how fun he is - creative, imaginative, goofy, silly, happy!
He is such a joy to me!!

Diaper Cake Pages


I've been wanting to scrapbook some of the harder things that we (as grieving parents) go through - and it's painful but I'm really happy with how these pages turned out and document just one difficult thing we've done.

Journaling reads:
The Diaper cake for Nurse Carrie

One of the hard things
that a grieving parent has
to do is to decide what to
do with their child's things.
There were many things and many
different decisions we  made about their things.
One thing I kept was Chloee's diapers.  I
expected to use them with our next child but
when Bree was alive she never grew big enough
to use Chloee's diapers. So when Bree died, we
had twice as many diapers that I didn't know
what to do with and that made me soooo sad
that they sat there instead of being used by
my babies. I finally decided to give them to
the very special people in my life that had been
there for us and that had struggled through
life also. One of those people was Nurse Carrie.
She is one of only a few nurses who cared for
and loved both of my girls. Carrie struggled with
cancer and infertility and we could relate to
each other's problems and the crappiness of
life. In 2008, she finally had a baby girl and I
wanted to give her some of their diapers.  I made a
cute little diaper cake to give to her. It felt
good to give them to her to use. She was such a
good friend to me and loved my girls so
much!  We love you Nurse Carrie!

Carrie is currently undergoing cancer treatments
and transplants.  Carrie - just want you to know
we love you and are thinking of you!!
