Disneyland - October 9, 2012 (Trip 1)

So, rather than stay home for Fall Break for the kids, and endure them fighting like crazy, and trying to come up with ideas to entertain them daily, I opted to take all four to Disneyland, by myself since Michael had to work. I knew it was a little crazy and that it would be hard, but I went for it and we had FUN! The ride there was mostly uneventful because I left at two a.m. so that I could get there close to park open.

I say Trip 1 because we have plans to go Disneyland at the end of the month on my mom's birthday and with M's parents as well. I love fall at Disney though so I hardly mind. Halloween tends to be a bit more crowded at the parks, but it is worth it!

I met up with my friend Karen (from Maricopa) and her awesome girls for two of the days which was great! They were fun to wait in lines with and her girls were super helpful with the babies!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
