Let the summer vacations begin!

It’s another "staycation" starting on Friday for the me and the kids.  When you live in the Orlando, the "theme park capital of the world" and the house you rent has a swimming pool, there is really no reason to go anywhere else. 

This "staycation" is gonna be a little different.  My boyfriend is going to join us along with his twin 4-year old girls.  My kids met his a few months ago and they have been talking about them ever since.  I don’t know whose kids are more excited!  The little girls totally bring out the mommy in Lauren and Logan is just happy to have somebody be younger than him. 

We are going to do the tourist thing and visit all the parks.  Except since I live here, I know that you don’t want to go until late afternoon, once the sun starts to set and it starts to cool down just a bit.  Standing in a queue line in 100+ degree heat in the shade with four kids does not for a fun day make!

Both Sea World and Busch Gardens have some awesome deals going on now for Florida and Georgia residents.  If you pay for one day, you can get a "Fun Card" that gets you in for the rest of the year for free.  And we already have special after 4pm passes for Universal Studios.  One of the things I learned when I worked at Walt Disney World was that the way to ensure that you have a bad Disney vacation experience to try to spend the ENTIRE day in the park in the heat with kids.  It’s just fraught with peril   One of the perks of living here – have passes and go for a few hours at a time.  That way everyone has fun and you don’t feel like you have to get your money’s worth in one day.

How about in your neck of the woods?  Any great "staycation" deals going on?  Let us (and everyone else) know on the blog!

Before I get to our awesome scrapbook products for the week,  I want to tell you about someone else’s business

My friend "P" recently started a website selling personalized themed birthday party supplies.  They are seriously the CUTEST party decorations you will ever see!  They customize…by hand, no less…the birthday banner, party hats and favor tags with the child’s name and age.  She is an awesome party planner and this is just right up her alley.  She just got started and I remember what it was like when you went home everyday from your "real job" to see if you got any orders and excitedly pack them and send them on their merry way.  

So, if you are looking for really cute and unique party supplies, click here to check her website out:  http://www.makeitmineparties.com.  Tell her Julie sent you

And now, on to scrapbook supplies!

For all of you diehard Twilight fans out there – we have designed some awesome Twilight papers and die cuts just for you!  My staff is buzzing with excitement about this series so I can hardly wait to see what brilliant layouts come out of this collection!  The other part of my staff is talking wizards!  So, as not to be left out, we have "Wizardry" by Moxxie.  As you have already seen, we have great wizard die cuts that will coordinate with this collection as well!

For those of you that don’t or haven’t yet gotten into the Twilight and/or Harry Potter phenom (can’t wait to ride the new Harry Potter ride at Universal next week!), we have other options that I think you will just love! We have "Panorama" by Making Memories.  This traditional, general travel collection is perfect for adding some fun to your destination layouts…and just wait until you see our Egypt collection, "Pharaoh’s Tomb".  Our designer incorporated as many of your requests as she could, including a custom paper option.  I think all of you globetrotters will agree with me – "Pharaoh’s Tomb" looks spectacular!

We also have the brilliant teal and purple colors of "Peacock Lane" by Bo Bunny – this paper has a lot of cool patterns and vibrant colors that will make you "proud as a peacock" to use this line in your layouts.  We have Reminisce’s "Stars and Stripes" for all of your 4th of July activities and SYT has designed a picic collection, "No Ants Allowed" to round out your holiday weekend possibilities. Finally, The Girls’ Paperie, "On Holiday" is great for a little different flair to your crafting projects.

Our SYT designers have been busy little bees!  Their creativity never ceases to amaze me!  This week we have designs that include: July 4th, Summer, Family, Kids, Disney, Road Trip, Cruise, Scrapbooking, Canada, Mexico, England, Norway, Greece, Italy, Egypt, Caribbean, Bermuda, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Washington, Camping, Baseball, Softball, Hiking, and Rock Climbing.
