Catch all Bags

Hi Everyone,

Can't believe this is the last day in February. This month when by so fast. My Mom and I have been really busy getting items ready for the Spring Fling Craft fair. We have a new creation to share with everyone. It is called a Catch all Bag. Holds all of the conveniences and comfort of an ordinary organizer. Perfect for scrap booking/stamping. When you are at a crop and you have a little paper hanging from your table. Who wouldn't want this cute little bag to hang from their table instead. Hangs to any surface with its built in gripper. Try one right now and make your workplace sitting area tidy and organized. Good also at a chair or couch for the TV control or snacks. Handy on the car console area. It would also make a perfect Father's Day gift for all of the Dads that love to watch TV. Price $12.00 plus s/h. Please e-mail if you would like one. The print in the picture is not for sale. Just let us know what colors you would like and we can make them for you.

Happy Stampin,

Nicolette

Cricky Across the 50 Blog Hop

Hello Everyone,

A Big Cricut Hello & Chrip to each of you! Welcome to the Cricky Across the 50 Blog hop hosted by K Andrew of http://www.kandrewdesigns.blogspot.com/ If you are here from Jess Marin of My Scrap Diary http://www.myscrapdiary-jess.blogspot.com/ you are in the right place.

Cricky Across the 50 Blog Hop goes live at 9am Feb. 11-13

Nicolette, here from Beyondscrapin representing, none other than the Happiest Place on Earth... Disneyland, in Southern California.

Believe it or not, as a child, I could not stand this place. When I graduated from High School,my Mom took me there, well the rest is history.

How could you not love Disneyland, it is just so magical. A place where you can let the kid in you be a kid. From the time you step onto the property, you are made to feel like Royalty. The grounds are maintained beautifully.

In today "REAL" world, isn't it wonderful to know, that there is a place, where dreams can come true, enchantment is real, and magic is just a sprinkle of fairy dust away.

People are happy, (with the exception of little ones, which truly need a nap). Princess and Fairy Godmother's are there to greet you. And let us not forget, about the Mouse who started it all Mickey!

Oh my Gosh, the Tiki room,Mr Toad's ride, and who can get the song of "It's a Small World" out of your head once you have taken the boat ride to so many countries.

All the shows are great, if I had to choose, Fantasmic with Desert would be it. The dessert are so beautiful, you don't want to eat them.

You can't miss on any of the places to eat at Disneyland, from the Blue Bayou, to Goofy's Kitchen to dance the Macarena during Breakfast.

Oh and don't forget about Downtown Disney, and California Adventure. Downtown Disney is so much fun. ESPN zone for the sports lovers and MORE shopping. You have to try Rain Forrest Cafe. California Adventure is a blast. Ariel Grotto and the World of Color is a must see.

I could go on, and on. But for now, I will transform back to the magic world of Paper,glue, and scissors. That is pretty magical in itself. Which leads me to what is my favorite craft project. My favorite craft project is to scrap Disneyland pictures. I have created a two page layout with my favorite pics so far. Still working on the rest of my album.

Blog candy- I'm giving away to one lucky winner Disney stamp set. Please leave a comment and become a follower of my blog. Will post the winner on Monday February 14. Make sure to check back and see if you are the lucky winner!!

Please make sure to leave comments on all of the blogs for a chance to win a ton of different Grand Prizes on Getting Cricky's blog. from these great companies: Scrap N Tote, Scrap N Easel, Cri-Kits, Creative Charms, Memory Miser, Scrappy Chic Cafe, Loralie Designs, My Pink Stamper, Peachy Keen Stamps, Cricut Town, The Scrappin Table,Piktails, and Pink by Design. Please make sure to visit all the blogs, as every single blog will have fabulous give aways!!!
