Pin Pals

I love this photo of my Mom and Nic at Disneyland. These two became obsessed with pin trading...actually I think my Mom was even more obsessed then Nic. She was constantly on the look out for Disney staff with their pins! We had to stop her from buying the stores out too!!!

Looks like Spring might actually be here...finally. Hoping to get outside with my camera and get some pictures this weekend!!!

Have a great day!!!

April Fools Day

Well I think Mother Nature pulled the first April Fools Joke of the year on us. We got tons more snow, the really wet heavy kind of snow. So annoying. I am not sure if Spring is going to arrive in our neck of the woods this year. *sigh*

On a happier note it is April 1st which means a few things. Firstly the MPC (monthly prize challenge) at Love Is In The Details. Guess who was in charge of the sketch this month.....ME!!!

I had a blast doing it and I hope it turned okay. To see the challenge and participate to win a $25 gift certificate from LIITD click here!!!
