Although, I am trying to talk my husband into an Anniversary trip for next summer!

I spent some time today organizing my photos. Pulling out those I still need to scrap and placing them in a new document so they are ready to go!

Next, I need to organize my Disney kits again!

I find myself hoarding ictures and not finishing albums when I don't have another trip planned. LOL. I currently have 2 trips (rundisney and cruise) to complete so I need to get moving )

This is my first ever Marthon but I've watched my BFF do it for years.... So I'm super excited...

I'm working all weekend, though, so I may not make it. I don't have my Sunday schedule yet, but I'm at Disney Junior all day Friday and roving all day Saturday, so I'll be dead-ish Saturday night. Depending on what I get scheduled Sunday, I may try to trade it for a shorter day, because ugh, a 10.5 hour shift the day before is brutal and I'd much rather be scrapping.

Although if anyone is running low on photos and wants some to play around with, let me know! My to-do list easily over 200 pages at this point, and I haven't been able to print books in the longest time because nothing is finished.

What do you mean you're at Disney Junior all day? Sounds tiring. (and loud!) LOL

Are we only having 14 this year?

Hi Debbie, yes - 14 this year. There will be a half goody bag and a full goody bag and then of course each ss will have it's own rules and pp for it! Lots of chances to play along!!

it sounds intimidating but actually it's not as hard as it might seem - as long as you have some free time to play along. Hope you enjoy it!!

whoo hoo!!! I love this weekend too

I'm hoping some of my aunts, uncles and cousins will step in to help out my mom because it's hard doing it all myself.

I also bought a bunch of new kits that I haven't used yet...can't wait to play with them next weekend!

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad - and how busy I'm sure it's keeping you! Hopefully you can find some time to play!!

I open and close with the Junior characters over at DHS. It's a fun day, but a lot of screaming (both me and the kids).

Also, I just had to share, because I'm so excited - I finally got my schedule changed so I'm off Sundays from here on out! This means I'll definitely be able to finish the marathon.

I HATE that I am going to miss another Marathon, but I'll be thinking of y'all while I'm on the Disney Magic. We'll be at my mother's on April 2nd so maybe I can sneak in a Speed Scrap or two.
