Oh, Mr. Darcy....sneak peeks of Pemberley


You all don't know how excited I was when I got Christine's email with the names and contents of the January 2013 kits, I was giddy as a school girl because Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book and movie. I could read and watch it a million bazillion times.Love, love, love, Mr. Darcy & Lizzie! I was totally born in the wrong century. OK now back to the sneaks...  I used the Pemberley, Mr. Darcy,and Elizabeth kits. You're going to love these kits!  As I am off in dream land pretending to have Mr.Darcy spin me around the dance floor enjoy these sneaks.

a peek at Pemberley:Cocoa Daisys Jan. 2013 kit & a little blurb from MK

Come January, we take a page out of Jane Austen’s book Pride and Prejudice and set off for a New Year’s Eve party at Pemberley. We are all dressed up in creams and whites mixed with blues and yellows. We’ve added bits of navy and fuchsia to brighten things up, and now we are ready to celebrate the new year in an elegant way!

 Our add ons are packed full this month. We’ve got the cheerful and spunky Elizabeth with yellows and pinks, a more subtle and serious Mr. Darcy, and our Netherfield Park patterned paper add on, with the perfect array of colors and designs to fancy up your creations.

The kids get to finally have Halloween parties at school and will be dressing up. This will be their first year celebrating at school our old school didn't celebrate Halloween. We haven't got costumes picked out yet they are still narrowing their lists down. Mr.K & I might dress up too.
