Travel and Fun Things To Do
Updated January 15, 2024. We have a 3-week vacation to London that will include a Disney Cruise booked for this summer.

I have created a few new magnet styles that are great for giving a fish extender gift. I wanted the new magnets to be reminiscent of old postcards. So far I have one for the Disney Wonder’s Alaskan cruises, and one for Disney Magic’s Caribbean cruises. Watch out over the next couple of weeks…

Her 8th birthday was approaching so we decided to do a party based on the book. For the party favours we included a copy of the book, and treats inspired by the book. I…

Snug-A-Bug Blankets It’s Raining Monkeys has been featured in DaWanda’s Summer 2011 Lovebook. The Lovebook features 170 artists from DaWanda’s online marketplace for handmade items in Europe, and beyond since I am in Canada. I am very excited that the blanket was chosen to appear in the Lovebook. You can check out the Lovebook here….
