Me, My Boys & I

Just have to share....

It is finally a little bit warmer so the boys were able to actually go outside and play tonight!!!

Just wanted to share this picture....

I have been busy redoing my scrap area the last few days - completely changed everything around.

I am not 100% done yet but here is what I have so far....

Oh and one more thing - there is a birthday boy coming soon to our house....

Nothing beats going to the Love Is In The Details store and picking out goodies for a kit! I could not resist the Pink Paislee Old School line, I knew the colors would be perfect and totally my style. I also love creating mini albums so I added the Cosmo Cricket blackboard album to my kit!

So this is how my kit looked all together....

Here are a few sneak peeks of what I did with the kit, to see the rest you have to go over to the Love Is In the Details Blog or to the gallery.

Did you know that the Lori's blog at Love Is In The Details is regularly updated and has awesome creative ideas and sometimes even yummy recipes? I would recommend you check it out OFTEN!!! LOL!

Oh and just so you know the Vegas Crop (in Miami) is already more then half full! Don't miss out on three days of awesome scrapping, food, demos and laughs!!! All the info is HERE!

Have a great day and thanks for popping by!

Christmas Crackers

Lori decided that we would work on a secret special project together and we decided to make it Christmas Crackers. Make sure you go to the Love Is In The Details Blog to see Lori's amazing crackers!!!! I was so excited that Lori had the snappers for the crackers and sent me some. Finally this year our crackers are going to snap!!!! Thank you Lori!!!

Every year I create Christmas Crackers for Christmas Eve. It is a tradition my Mom and I started about fifteen years ago when we were sick of the junky stuff inside the crackers we would buy at the store.

I love picking out the little gifts for each of my boys but this year I decided to do something a little different.

*THE FOLLOWING IS ALL TOP SECRET*

*NO DUTKA'S BEYOND THIS POINT*

Inside of each cracker is a Cadbury Chocolate bar, the traditional party hat, a joke and a secret clue for each person. Once the clues are solved it will lead the boys to a special gift hidden in the house.

Yum!!! I should have bought an extra one to make sure it tastes okay!

Everything fit in perfectly!!!

Ready to wrap!!!!

Each cracker is wrapped in tissue paper and then tied with ribbon.

I added corrugated cardboard and the wine sticker from the Love Is In The Details Store - they were the perfect size!

Each cracker has a unique die cut, (Sizzix & Nestabilities) and the patterned paper matches their place card so no ones gets mixed up.

So do you want to know what the secret hidden gift is??? Can you keep a secret???

The clues will lead them to this....

A great game that we can play after dinner!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

Florida Part One

Hi!!! Home from Florida - what an amazing holiday we had! The weather was amazing, the parks were awesome and the crowds were crazy!!! 719 pictures, yes you read that right!!! I will make a few blog posts to share with you some of the highlights.

The boys LOVED the Harry Potter Ride at Universal, well we all did. The details in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter were outstanding!! Oh and the Butterbeer.....it was perfection!!!! The only bad part was that the crowds were insane and we could only get in the candy store, the line for Ollivanders were so long that we could not wait.

So today I will share with you our pics from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter....
