Why is scrapping Disney so hard?

I love Disney World, we live fairly close and are lucky enough to have annual passes this year. This leads to alot of Disney pictures to scrapbook. I tend to take pictures of the same things and at the same places, this leads me to get bored of scrapping Disney pages. I have 2 Disney vacations I need to scrap still and I have 2 more Disney vacations planned.


Idid manage to get some Disney inspiration last week and did 2 LO's


The animal kingdom tag was made by me. Tall tales title was made by a friend.



This PP is new and is what got my Disney mojo going again! Unfortunetly I ran out of little black letters, going to have to pick some up to finish this LO.

Come back next week for a chance to win a $25 Sams giftcard from me, Sams and myblogspark!

RIP Tonka

yesterday my sweet doggie Tonka passed away. She was 13 years old and her health has been failing for a long time. We knew the end was near. She must have waited for me and SJ to get home from out trip to pass.
When I met baby daddy he already had Tonka she was about a year old. She ate EVERYTHING! The trim on the house, shoes, hats, even the bottle of spray that was suppose to make her stop eating thing. Once we discovered she had eaten a few lightbulbs. Looking back it was probably a miracle she lived to be 13.
When SJ was born she was 9 years old an I will be honest we were a bit concerned on how she would act with him. That was a silly worry because from the moment SJ came home she was his dog. She would always lay by him. When he would spit up she was right there to clean it up. They really became best friends when he started eating and dropping table food.
Over the past year Tonka's health has really been failing. Her back legs failed and in the end we were carrying her outside. She never cried or growled at or to us. We always said we wanted her to die naturally and at home since our big mean dog hated the car and other animals.
I hope she knew how much we loved her and how empty our house feels without her.
Here are some of my favorite picture of her.

Our family before SJ. Yes I put antlers on my dog.

You will be missed so very much

A fathers day page

With Fathers day approaching fast, i decided to finally scrap last years pictures. I spent all day making these, they are vanilla cupcakes for the bun, a brownie burger, coconut for the lettuce and icing for mustard and katchup. I also made fries our of sugar cookies to go with them. This idea was not original I found it on a blog last year. I asked baby daddy if he wanted me to make them again and he said no beacause they were too delicious and he is trying to watch his waistline. LOL

Letter C

The last 2 days we have concentrated on the letter Cc





We made a Crab out of a C just like over at Totally Tots. We have been hanging these on his wall in his room and going over them every day. He loves adding new ones.



We made our C page for our alphabet book, 1st he glued the C's to construction paper.


then we made Colorful Car tracks on the Cc's
This was definitely one of SJ's favorite activities so far.


Today we went to the beach and we practiced drawing the letters we have learned in the sand. I'm not sure why but he cant seem to remember what an A is he keeps calling it L but if I ask him what A says he knows and can think of things that start with the sound. He knows most of the end of the alphabet so those will be easy for him hopefully these will click soon.

Tomorrow we start D.

also I have a sweet giveaway coming up, keep checking back.
