Freebie Friday

So it seems this is a growing trend in blogger land... giveaways. I thought I might give it a try. The holidays are approaching and I'm trying to spread the word about Kendra's Creations. {Not to mention the fact that I love what I do} So why not share the love.

**I'm going to give away a free custom designed Christmas card layout.**

All you have to do is leave me a comment (make sure I know who your are) & I'll put your name in a drawing to be held on November 1st. Pass the word along to a friend & if they comment and tell me you referred them I'll put your name in the hat for every friend that enters {that's a thanks to you for helping me out}.

{Happy Friday}

Digital Christmas cards are here!

It's just around the corner... Christmas! My favorite time of year. I've been working on some new digital designs for this year that I am excited to premier here. Here's a few of the new designs that I've created and of course I can always custom design a card for you.

I'm also offering printing this year. Yay! I have found a printer that is great quality and it actually looks like a card as opposed to a photo print. So this year I am offering 2 options:
#1 - You can purchase a .jpg file that I create and you can print anywhere you like
#2 - I will design and print the cards for you. It's a high quality, durable, glossy cardstock printed in a 4x6 or 5x7 size and comes with envelopes. Printing comes in groups of 25. If you are interested just email me for pricing.

You can view any of my past designs on my website. Click on the Kendra's Creations tab in the right corner of my blog and go to Digital Creations or click on the Christmas tab.

Disney 2010!

We had a wonderful family vacation the first of this month...the long awaited return to Disney! This was our first family vacation where it was just our family and it was so nice to spend some quality time together for a week. It's not much of a resting vacation when you spend 6-10 hours walking around parks but it's so much FUN! We visited 4 parks (Universal, Islands of Adventure, Magic Kingdom and Aquatica) and took advantage of the beautiful Orange Lake Resort where we stayed. This place was huge and had plenty of activities for the kids and adults.

Crazy thing was that Corby's parents and one of his sisters (& her family) were there the same week we were and they stayed at the same resort. So on the days we stayed at the resort so did the rest of the family and we got to have fun together.

I know it's long but trying to condense over 400 pictures to just a few is really hard. So here's a video of our trip.

Happy Birthday Kensley!

My baby girl turned 4 today. The best part is that we are at Disney and we got to celebrate at the Magic Kingdom for her birthday. (I can't think of a better present than that!) For her present from us, we decided to give her a treat to go to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Cinderella's castle. She LOVED it! She took her Cinderella costume and they gave her the royal treatment with a princess hair-do, make-up and a princess sash. Here's a few pics of her in the boutique...



That's some serious hair gel!

The finishing touches on her hair... some pixie spray

...and a dusting of magic pixie dust!



the final touches and then they turned her around to the mirror...she LOVED it!

My little princess! (**Side note.... the hair do was super tight and super stiff. I could have bounced a rock off of her bun. ha! She kept saying it itches. It took 2 washes to get all of it out of her hair but it was worth it.)

Strappy Happy!

I love my camera... but it's kinda heavy. Especially when you carry it around your neck all day long... and it's hot... and it gets sticky & aggravating. But now I have a solution...

I've been wanting a camera strap cover for a long time. I've seen them for larger cameras but never any for my size camera... until now. Well, technically I didn't see one for my camera but I have a friend who sews and made one for me to fit my camera... yay!!!! I'm so excited! Ready to test it out on our trip this week.

Let's get kickin...

Soccer season is here and Kensley is playing her first season of Little Kicks at the YMCA. Daddy is her coach and she's very excited about that.

Oooo, ooo, ooo

I saw these blogs listed on another friends blog and just couldn't resist the urge to share... they look so cool!

This one has really cool vinyl clings you can purchase for about any theme or occasion.

Really cool ideas and I could probably spend a half-day looking on here.
