The party has started!

Hi Party go-er's!!

WELCOME!!!

So glad to have you stop by my blog. 

I hope you're enjoying the UBP!!! 

I'm Jan, a work-at-home and homeschooling mom of three.  Please have some chocolate while you are here reading, as I am a chocoholic!

Besides being a chocoholic, I am also a Disney World-oholic!  LOL!  There is something magical about walking down Main Street towards Cinderella's castle.  I turn back into a child every time I'm there.  I love to scrapbook my Disney trips, and try to make that scrapbooking last a long time.  This allows me to relive each trip for as long as possible.

I am a paper and digi scrapper.  Most of my scrapbooking is done digitally these days, but there are times when I still love to have my hands on paper. 

Besides scrapbooking & chocolate, I also love spending time with my family.  I'm a big Survivor fan, and have watched the soap General Hospital on and off for more than 20 years. 

Well, enjoy the party!!!!  Be sure to take a peek at the prize list.  I've contributed one of the prizes!  It's a gift certificate to my online store - www.MakingScrapbooks.com

There are so many cool prizes to be won at this year’s Ultimate Blog Party, but my top three picks would be:

1. A gift certificate to Emily Rose's website
2. A Pirates of the Caribbean cd player
3. CBD gift certificate

Or any of these: 54, 55, 50, 61

Let's party!   (You can check out my blog in more detail here.)

Hi, I came here through the Blog Party! I, too, love chocolate, and I DEFINITELY love Disney World! I went there with my mom last year, just the two of us and no kids, and we ROCKED that place! We went on all the rides, even the little kid ones! My favorite was Space Mountain, but I also loved Buzz Lightyear, and the one with the Yedi, and I will always have a special place in my heart for Soarin'!

Hi, I came here for the party too. I also love chocolate and scrapbooking. I've never done digital scrapbooking before, but I might like to try it. Any advice for a beginner?

[Sarah (Real Life)]

What a nice place you have here! I haven't gotten into digi-scrapping yet, but I think I would be hooked! Happy partying!

[Nadine]

Nice to meet you. I like scrap booking. You are very creative. Have fun visiting the different parties.

Thanks for inviting us in! I still need to go check out the list. I won a Starbucks card last year and that was just good times!

[Lulu]

Oh how I love chocolate!!!! And I admire creative people such as yourself!

Welcome to the party, I am joining from Tokyo! Have never been to Disney World but love Disneyland in Tokyo, especially around holiday times like Halloween, Valentines Day and Christmas because the place comes a alive! Plus, I am going to Disneysea for the first time in a couple of weeks! Wee heeeeee!

Enjoy the party!

Hey Jan!
Glad to see you guys had fun on your spur of the moment Disney trip! We attended the Pirates and Princess party too! It was a blast. I put a few pix on my blog from my Disney trip. I will have to post more once I'm finished putting the rest of the Disney pictures in my new clear acrylic album from TLC! :o) Prayers for your Nana.

[Darcy]

Hi Jan, Found your blog from UBP also! We just got back from DisneyLand (out here in CA). Think we will have to plan a trip to DisneyWORLD some day, right? I hear it is amazing and that it takes about a week to see everything.

I am hopping over to all the scrappers blogs to let them know about a new little online business I am starting with my sister. We'll be making clear polymer stamps and some fun project kits for creative people like yourself. Since you still like to get out the REAL paper once in a while : ), head on over to our blog at www.pinkpersimmon.typepad.com and leave a comment. We'll add you to the newsletter and you'll be entered into a drawing for a clear polymer stamp set when our store is launched! Hope you can come on over to say hi!

Take care, - Darcy

Thanks for the invite and the chocolate! I, too, love chocolate (dark is my favorite), scrapbooking, & Disney. I have been scrapbooking for the part of 15 years. I have just started to get my feet wet with digital scrapping but have not found what works for me yet - any tips would be welcome. I have always been in love with MM but had never been to Disney World until I was 29! You could hardly keep me contained as we rode across the lake to the Magic Kingdom - it truly was magical. We cannot wait to take our kids there so they can experience the wonder & magic that is Disney. I'll definitely be checking out your store.
Drop by my place if you get a chance - with over 1300 parties going on it is hard to hit them all.
Blessings,
Kim

Good to see you at the party my friend... there are so many others here I don't know. I totally thought of you when I saw that cd player on the prize list!!! LOL! I'm giving away another one of my paint cans if you wanna take a look.

[Sandy Y]

I'm also a fan of chocolate and General Hospital. :) I'm new to scrapbooking. I recently started one for my vacation to London and Paris. It's coming together okay...considering it's my first try!

[Jenn C]

Found your blog through the party!! I love your scrapping ideas! Super cute!!!

[Alyson @ 3 P's in a Pod]

Oh goodness, I think we might have way too much fun together! Although the Party is technically over, I am just loving getting to know all of you other fun, witty and talented women! Got Disney? Bring it On! I adore Disney and know just what you mean about the Castle and how scrapping the trip does make the enjoyment last as long as possible. I need to start adding more of my scrapping stuff to my blog - hmmm....Note to self!

Anywho, come by to see me at my 'place' anytime and I will see ya back here often!
