Oh, April, sending hugs to you my grieving friend! Whenever my Tyson talks about his sisters, it is the most special thing too. I'm glad this challenge helped you to scrap that page!!! Sending hugs to you

Awww, Paula, you made me bawl! Not that it takes much to make me cry.

I am not sure if I overdid the pixie dust? I think I need a few opinions on that one.
Thank you for a great challenge and an amazing PP I am so excited to have finished this LO!
I agree with Linda we all need tissues next to our computers this week! The story's have been wonderful - thank you everyone for sharing.

Journal Text is under the LO for easier reading



Journal Reads:
As soon as Alex saw Silvermist coming over she ran right up to her, but she was too excited to even take her hand much less really enjoy any time with her. She kept pointing out Tinkerbell, she was in constant motion, she could not relax enough to even take a picture. Mommy had to bring her back to Silvermist to finally get her picture taken. Then Tink came over and took her by the hand to the middle of the room. After one quick hug she spotted Fawn and the excited energy took over again. Alex had to make sure Tink realized Fawn was there by pointing her out. Then Tink surprised us by calling Fawn over, they all sat down and played a game of “peek-a-boo.” After a minute Alex remembered Silvermist was there too, so she had to inform Tink her other friend was in the room. Tink really surprised us this time by taking Alex by the hand through the crowd that was forming, watching this little show, back to Silvermist to take more pictures! Once they came back we finally got a picture of the two “Tinks,” then Fawn called her over to show Alex her tea cup. While exploring the cup Tink decided to surprise her with a little game of “Guess Who.” After a minute Fawn pointed out her spool of thread and these fast friends were off to play. They found Mickey shaped pixie dust! Tink even had to come over to have a look at this oddity. Alex was having so much fun she did not want to stop for pictures instead she wanted to see in the Tea cup again. Eventually Fawn asked her for a hug, and surprise, There was Tink calling her name from behind the camera! WOW, Alex gave us one of her best smiles of the whole trip!! After another hug and much waiving and kiss blowing we eventually brought this amazing pixie play date to a close. Once outside other guests were asking for my email so they could send me the pictures they had been taking of Alex. They had loved watching her interact with the fairies and had to take some pictures for themselves.
Alex must have spent almost 20 minutes playing and enjoying her time in Pixie Hollow. The fairies were amazing with her, initiating her exploration and never leaving her side! They were the ones who kept the play date going and were just as sad to see it end. This is one line where we will never complain about the wait. The attention they gave Alex made her whole trip, she was still talking about it days later! They gave her the time to get past her initial shock and excitement at seeing them and allowed her the chance to actually enjoy their company. The fairies permanently endeared themselves to our family and gave us one of our favorite Disney memories!

W-O-W!!! That really is an amazing story! Where was this at?

Wow! That's really amazing that you went to the Great Wall!
Was that so crazy or surreal to go back with her? She's so grown up since you got her I love the colorblocking and clean page!

Here is my submission:



Now, I could've sworn there was a thread somewhere for Disney on Ice, but I can't find it.... could someone direct me so I can post this there, too? Thanks!

Love, love, love how you put your tickets on the page like that!! Did you scan the actual tickets??

For the SS marathon, I did a page of my very favorite photo from Disneyland of all time of my ds giving me a big smooch. So I wanted to get the matching page done for that page so I can get them printed and put in an album. BTW - Persnickety Prints does a great job printing my pages and they have never said a thing about copyright issues with any of the disney images on my pages...
Then I ended up redoing the page I did for the SS - I am a slow scrapper!! and SS's are so hard for me
Anyway, here are the new pages I did for this meaningful challenge:


made using Where It All Began by kellybell and the wordart/cluster is a freebie on my blog

Thanks Denise for a wonderful challenge. I chose to scrap the boys going to DTD to build their own lightsaber and pick out their 1 special toy at World of Disney.
