CASology - Friday Featured Designer

 

Hello...it's Friday! Today for my CASology post I want to share a thank you card and some photos from my trip this week to Disneyland. I have the sweetest daughter on the planet...seriously, I don't believe they come any sweeter and more thoughtful than my Ashleigh. 

She surprised me with the trip to Disneyland in celebration of my 60th birthday later this month, what a fabulous surprise!!! She had been planning and saving for over a year and she would not let me pay for a single thing. She also contacted some of our dearest friends and asked them to join us for the day in the park. Spending the day with Darrell and Gigi made our trip even more magical, they are so kind and so sweet and know everything Disney. They loaded me up with annual pass holder 60th Anniversary pins for my lanyard and I wanted to make a special thank you card to let them know how much I loved spending time with them and the pins are so fun too.

 Darrell, Gigi and Ashleigh

Feeding the ducks after a yummy lunch from the Hungry Bear Restaurant, this always a tradition of Darrell and Gigi's and we had so much fun we are adding it to our list of traditions.

Breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen, the peanut butter and jelly pizza is my favorite treat there.

This is my favorite picture of Ashleigh from our trip....Goofy loved that she was wearing her hat and had to pose for a photo. So much fun!

I am also entering my card in Darnell's NBUS Challenge

My Craft Room

I have to say I really LOVE my crafting space! It is my favorite room in the house and always makes me smile when I walk in...I am very blessed to have a room all to myself for my crafts, but occasionally make space for my husband while he is working on the crossword puzzles.

I am a major Disney/Mickey Mouse and I Love Lucy fan and as soon as you walk in you can figure that out. Most of the room, say 90% is Disney and rest is my Lucy corner. My husband was sweet enough to help me paint or should I say set up the laser level for the Mickey stripes (they had to be as perfect as I could get). My mom helped me decorate the walls, knowing just where to place everything. I do add new things and put old ones away at times. I have so much Disney/Mickey Mouse stuff, I just don't have enough room to display all of it and my craft supplies.

I Love Lucy corner...love the Barbie dolls!

My desk is from Ikea, it's large enough for me to really spread out and since I'm the only using the room, I can just leave what ever I am working on out.

The white folding table is my cutting table.  I do a fair amount of sewing and both sides fold up and give me a very large space.  It also doubles as a space of extra supplies while working on projects.

Before I started making cards and found PTI, I scrapbooked and one of the book cases is filled wtih albums of our family from when I got married to Ashleigh graduating high school.  Seems like the older they get the less pictures are taken (I think that is because they are doing more with their friends rather than family). The second book case is filled with stamps, paper, Cricut, paper trimmers and all kinds of supplies for being creative.

Last photo...this is the door to my favorite spot in the house.  I made the Christmas wreath from McDonalds Happy Meal toys when Disneyland was celebrating it's 50th Anniversary.  Behind the door are all of my edge punches, love that they are all in one spot.

Thanks for taking a peek into where play whenever I get the extra time!
