Disney World! Here I come!!

I’m leaving for Florida tomorrow!! 
My mom, dad, sister, husband and my husband’s mom and dad are all going to Disney World for Christmas. We’re staying at the Pop Century Resort which should be pretty neat. I’ve always thought it would be so much fun to go to Disney World ON Christmas and see it all decorated and stuff. The only bad part about going to Florida is having to leave Pouncy behind. My uncle is going to feed her every day, but I’ll be worried about her just the same.
Here are some updates on my holiday crafting. I bought some unpainted wooden trays from Hobby Lobby. I had planned on painting them and then putting all the goodies I’m making for people on the trays. I didn’t really know how I was going to paint them though. I started off painting them all a wintery blue color, and then it hit me: I’d paint snow on the trays! I painted a layer of snow around the bottom edges, and then added some snowflakes. On the inside of the tray, I painted some snow and a snowman with more snowflakes. They turned out really cute!
Another thing I’ve been busy doing is making picture frames. You know those really plain, wooden picture frames you can get from Michael’s for $1.00? I found the cutest thing to do with them. All you need is some paint and some scrapbook paper. I added some 3D stickers as embellishments. They turned out so cute! Some of the paper didn’t match up exactly, but I think it turned out very well. Needless to say, I’ll be making I made more of these and added them to my tray of goodies for family members! (Actually, the trays were full so they got to go in their own bag. The whole frame ended up costing me around $2.00 since I already had the paint. Can’t beat $2.00 for such a nice gift! (strike>My Michaels is out of the 3X5 frames. 
Lots of the craft stores are wiped out of stuff. Michael’s got more frames in! I bought 10 to stock up. See more pics here on Flickr!
I did manage to get all of my things mailed the other day, so Jessica, Miranda, Bubs, Heidi, Diane, and Melissa - expect something to arrive from me (hopefully soon!). I had hoped to get all of my Christmas Ornament Trades up on my Quilt, but didn’t have time to do that after all. If you have emailed me a trade request, I do accept! You may go ahead and add my ornament if you’d like, and I’ll add yours as soon as I get back from Florida, if not before!
P.S. I have got to fix my smilies!

Hey there, it’s me… again
Wishing you a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Today’s the 24th so I feel like blogging that today as well -
I got your envelope today. I loved the ornament. It is on my tree now. Next time please no mint. I am allergic to mint. Mainly the green type, but when any other mint is closed in it starts smelling like the regular green mint. Oh btw the boys stole the gum. Haha.
But I really couldn’t believe you would send me what you did. I so loved seeing them on your blog.Anyhow Merry Christmas. I hope you had fun at Disney World. You know you need to do something with all the pictures you get. *hint*

Just popping past to wish you and your family a belayed Merry Christmas

I love your little trays! You should have an etsy shop, or something similar
I hope you’re having lots of fun in Florida! -
I really love those picture frames, and would love to make some of my own. Did you glue paper on to each groove in the wood, or are those designs painted on? Either way, I’m not sure I have enough talent to make them look as good as yours!
