Yesterday was the Cape Coral Boat Along. As far as boat parade goes, this one is pretty mild although according to reports it still drew over 5,000 to Freedom Park. I had mentioned to one of my friends that it just makes me miss Winterfest in Fort Lauderdale. Now THAT was a boat parade!

And I suspect the crowd it drew as more like 50,000. You couldn't get near the intercoastal on parade day and reserved seating at intercoastal restaurants was made months in advance.

I was lucky enough to get a waterfront table at a nice restaurant one year, where we could enjoy a good meal, and sit back and sip champagne while the boats then by.

Scrapping All the Way put out a fabulous new page kit called Jingle Bell Boogie. I really like the colors in this one, so I asked if could work with it.



In Aus, Santa's sleigh is pulled by Six White Boomers, as opposed to the 8 tiny reindeer we normally see. In Florida, it's six illuminated dolphin doing sleigh duty! I sure do hope that sleigh can float!



Part of the charm of Winterfest is the backdrop of the hi-rise towers which are also illuminated for the parade. YOu don't have building that sore 40 or so floors into the air in the Cape.

I've got one more shot I want to scrap with this kit, then I'm going to script it down and do a tag with it. Really fun stuff inside, as you can tell from these two layouts. :) Jingle Bell Boogie can be purchased at Scrapper's Secret, where the designers are REAL angels.





A Joyous Solstice to all of you!
