Layouts and some exciting news!!!

At the DISboards I hosted a "telephone" challenge. It was so much fun watching the layout change from person to person. Here is the layout I created:

A Trip to Wonderland

I created this layout for the weekly challenge this week at the DISboards that Britt hosted.

Once Upon a Dream - Cinderella Castle from our January 2007 trip.

The other day the Travel Channel DVD, Paranormal Destinations, that Melinda ordered arrived and the episode about Salem inspired the next layout.

In Memory - This is the Salem Village Witchcraft Victim's Memorial in Danvers, MA. Danvers was once known as Salem Village, but has spent the past 300 years distancing themselves from the Witch trial hysteria and it definitely shows because you don't see many traces of it at all. In 1992 they built this memorial for the victims. Its on a small little quiet street in almost the middle of nowhere. It is beautiful. The day we went my sister and I were the only people around. The text around the edge is the words from the victims. It may look like something is misspelled, but there was no standard spelling in the 17th century so they are spelled as they were back then.

I will have more layouts to post on Friday. :)

Now for the news . . . WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!! Melinda and I are taking Mom to WDW in January and meeting up with Aunt Joyce and Aunt Nette. YAY! Its a little over 3 months until we go. We will be staying at Pop Century again! I love Pop Century. I can't wait!!! We have reservations for breakfast at Akershus in Norway on Melinda's birthday.

Ok, that's all for now. :)

Melissa
