\u00a0I have two boys that love pirates. \u00a0I have a lot of pirate pics to scrap and I even printed one of the coordinating cards to use as the &#8220;sails&#8221; on a pirate birthday cake. \u00a0And my favorite list wouldn&#8217;t be complete without one of Zoe and Brook&#8217;s newest kits. \u00a0It is a perfect theme for a lot of photos I&#8217;m scrapping these days.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4in14-favDisney.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22684\" alt=\"4in14-favDisney\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4in14-favDisney.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4in14-favDisney.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4in14-favDisney-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4in14-favDisney-600x614.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We are recent transplants to Florida and have spent the last year being spoiled by many great vacation spots. \u00a0The most special of these has been getting to take our kids to Disney. \u00a0I have memories of going with my family to Disney growing up, but we had never been able to take our kids until this past year. \u00a0Our Disney trips have helped us have fun together as a family while we were getting used to being away from home. \u00a0Of course we&#8217;ve had visitors who wanted to go with us too, including my parents in the top left photo. \u00a0The top right photo is Snow White talking to my 2-year-old during the Electrical Parade. \u00a0She gave him a kiss on the forehead, and he&#8217;s been talking about it ever since! \u00a0My oldest is a huge Star Wars fan, and we took him to Star Wars weekend. \u00a0Picture time with Luke and Leia on the bottom left&#8230; I think I might have been even more excited than they were! \u00a0And many of you will understand how big the last photo was to my daughter, who loves Frozen. \u00a0She waited ever so patiently for her turn to see Elsa.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4in14-favthings.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22685\" alt=\"4in14-favthings\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4in14-favthings.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4in14-favthings.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4in14-favthings-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4in14-favthings-600x614.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some people say you can have too much of a good thing, but there are a few things I don&#8217;t think I could ever grow tired of. \u00a0Chocolate. \u00a0A lot of women say they love chocolate, but it is truly my favorite food indulgence. \u00a0Don&#8217;t give me a dessert if it doesn&#8217;t have chocolate in it! \u00a0Warm sunny weather. \u00a0I&#8217;ve always lived where it gets hot in the summer and not too cold in the winter. \u00a0I&#8217;ve grown to love the sun and the heat and actually love it. \u00a0Music. \u00a0I grew up with lots of it playing in my home and I&#8217;ve always been a singer. \u00a0My husband and I love all kinds of music. \u00a0And speaking of my husband&#8230; of course my favorite thing I couldn&#8217;t live without is my family. \u00a0They love me no matter what and are the reason I started scrapping in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we&#8217;re Spotlighting Kim!
