Scrap Your Trip Adds 224 New and S*A*L*E Items

Four days ago I moved into a new house.  Within those four days, it has become home.  I feel more at home there than I ever did in the six months I lived in the condo in Celebration.

The first sign for me was when I changed the “Go Home” address in my GPS in the car.  I had never done that.  Then I changed the address on my driver’s license.  I also am spending time figuring out where I want things to go, instead of just unpacking and putting it somewhere, like I did when I unpacked at the condo.

But the biggest thing that is going to make it home happened last night when the kids and I got home from after-school care.  There is an alley behind our house that runs in-between everyone’s garages.  As we pulled into the alley, there were kids everywhere!  My kids squealed with delight and said “Look!  Kids!”

Unfortunately, the neighborhood that Dad lives in has virtually no kids.  So, my kids have never really had neighborhood kids to play with.  It has saddened me for years and I started talking about moving 4-5 years ago.  But we never did.  

I had hoped that was the environment we were moving to in Celebration, but that didn’t turn out either.  

My across-the-alley neighbor had a home party last night and invited me over.  My default position would have normally been “No, thanks.  I have to finish unpacking.”  But, I decided to go and met lots of my new neighbors.  They all said “Oh!  You moved to one of the best alleys in the neighborhood!  There are TONS of kids here!”  

It filled me with joy to see my kids riding bikes and scooters with the kids in the neighborhood.  I am hopeful that along with our new “home” comes the childhood I have always wanted for my kids.  

Alright…enough about me!   Have you had a chance to check out our new items for the week?  We have lots to look at, like "Lucky Me" by Little Yellow Bicycle, "Unwritten" and “Glitter Factory” by Reminisce, "Transportation" and "Mr. & Mrs" by Best Creation, "Poppyseed" by K and Company, “Disney Slims” by EK Success, USA and International paper and stickers by Paperhouse Productions and “Winter Fun” by Stamping Station. 

I adore the "Poppyseed" line by K&Co.  Anything with purple in it takes me to my happy place!
