Miss Mouse Hairbow - The Cherry Pit Boutique

I know I just recently featured The Cherry Pit Boutique but just had to share their new Miss Mouse Hairbows. Way too cute! I love their bows because they are so well made and look absolutely fantastic. Very professional from beginning to end. I have my set on its ways and can't wait to see these in person!

Hmmm I wonder if they ship? :-)

Mickey Ears Bear

Making a bear at Build A Bear is always so much fun. What I found at my last visit to the Downtown Disney Build A Bear shop is a Mickey Ears Bear!


You cannot get this bear anywhere but the Build A Bear in Downtown Disney. It even has an exclusive embroidered foot telling the story of its exclusivity.

Of course you can dress up your bear in outfits or even Mickey Mouse ears but I think the bear alone is fantastic!

Don't rush out to buy a whole army. You are limited to 3 bears per customer.

Disney Inspired by Creations by Charity

Looking for the not so typical bow? Creations by Charity has some adorable creations to dress up those tresses. These Disney princess inspired bows are perfect for the little girl who wants the world to see just who her favorite princess is (I like Snow White).


She even has a Hannah Montana clippie for you fans out there!

Here is how little Elizabeth enjoys wearing her favorite princess clippie. Doesn't she have Snow White lips?


Or just keep it simple with a darling Minnie Mouse clippie great for all ages!

As if it can't get any better, look at these bottlecap necklaces! Wear it around your neck or ask Creations by Charity to add this to a custom bow or as a clippie.

I have ordered from Creations by Charity for a couple years now and her work is fantastic and her customer service is superb.

Good Bye C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A

So sad to know that the C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A letters in front of Disney's California Adventures will not be present our next visit as we were starting a tradition of the my son Phillip taking a picture with Mickey on letter C. But although they have gone away, the memories will never leave.

Disney Vacation Secret #88

During one of our past Disneyland trips we came across this ad while riding the ART (Anaheim Resort Transit) to Disneyland.

In our family this is very true. I think many families this holds true. Disneyland is a magical place to share through the generations. No matter your age there is something wonderful to enjoy but most of all you have some of the most incredible memories to last a lifetime and beyond.



My parents enjoy taking the grandchildren to Disneyland (pictures shown above of my mother with all 4 grandkids at Disneyland December 2010). The smiles are unbelievable. There is something special about sharing the stories and riding the same rides we rode as young children. I look forward to taking my grandchildren to Disneyland and taking them on my favorite ride of all - Mr Toads Wild Ride.

Winnie the Pooh Day!

Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff he's Winnie the Pooh. 

Jan 18 is national Winnie the Pooh Day!



Winnie the Pooh is probably the most famous bear in the world. It makes sense that Winnie the Pooh would have a day dedicated to himself.

I have so many fond memories of Winnie the Pooh. My son's very first trip to Disneyland was when he was 3 1/2 and his first taste of all those characters in front of him. But this is not my fondest memory of him at Disneyland. I think about the vacation when my son was 7. That was the best vacation we have ever had and a time when he truly appreciated Disneyland for all it had to offer. His first character meal was during this trip when we began our trip dining at Minnie's breakfast in the park. If I am correct Winnie the Pooh was the first character he met that day and really set the tone for our week in CA.

I even have to admit I have a super soft, cuddly, Pooh bear that I even cuddle from time to time. There is always comfort in cuddling a bear no matter your age.
 
Today I am sharing with your The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh.

 

You can find more videos and the continuation of the movie on Youtube.

Disney Inspired by The Cherry Pit Boutique

The Cherry Pit Boutique has created some beautiful outfits for the little girl in your life.

If I was 2ft shorter I would love to have this Minnie Mouse Applique Super Twirl Dress.


Just look at the The Cherry Pit Boutique's Tinkerbell Corseted Tutu Set and 3 Piece Disney Princesses Set. How adorable are these!


I came across The Cherry Pit Boutique on Facebook last year and fell in love with their bows. One I fell in love with and purchased several  for my nieces and myself are her Jack Skellington Inspired bows.

How cute are these! The micro bows are great for adults (although I have a  regular size bow that I wear as well). I wore this at Disneyland this past Christmas vacation. My nieces were to wear theirs as well with their Jack Skellington inspired tutus I made (will take pictures and share in the future). The day we planned to have them wear their outfits was the day it rained and didn't stop until a week after we left so that plan didn't work out. I am unsure these jack bows are for sale currently but you can contact The Cherry Pit Boutique for custom orders at http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Cherry-Pit-Boutique/124126273086

You can also find items for sale at:
http://www.thecherrypitboutique.etsy.com

Tell them Olivia sent you ;)

My crafty side


I love doing crafts and if I can put a disney twist on it I will. These keychains (or as I am using one as a zipper pull) were from a baby shower a couple years ago. I have so much fun finding new ways to get creative and make special gifts for others around me.

As I create more fun goodies, I will post them and share.

What are your favorite disney crafts?

Happy Birthday to me!

 
When you visit the Disneyland park to celebrate your birthday, make a stop at City Hall to receive your birthday button. You feel so special when everyone greets you by name and wishes you a happy birthday. Even non-cast members wished me a happy birthday. My birthday button spent much of the day underneath a rain poncho but that didn't stop anyone from recognizing the fuzzy image of the button sharing my birthday with everyone.


I had the pleasure of not only spending my first birthday ever at Disneyland (even though for 17yrs I lived within 1 hour of Disneyland) but I was able to share my favorite dining experience with my family at Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland hotel. I love Goofy's kitchen for several reasons. The food is amazing, the personal interaction with the characters, and the memories you share for years to come. At the end of our meal my family surprised me with a Disney Princess celebration cake. I was so touched yet so excited to have something so special that was all mine. Because my belly was full of such great food I took my personal cake (yes you get to keep it all) back to the hotel with me to eat later that evening. Even though the cake is long gone, I have my special treasure box with my goodies and even my candle to remind me of such a special day.

When visiting City Hall ask about restaurants that offer celebration cakes or other forms of celebration to make your birthday as special as mine.

I want this purse!

When I think of Disneyland I think of the Disneyland I grew up and not all of what I see today. This bag has all those wonderful memories. I never consider spending a great deal of money on 1 purse simply because I buy purses so often and my taste changes often. This is one I would throw the credit card down on the counter as if going in for the touchdown and yell GIMME in the most animated way possible! Of course I would be far nicer, quieter, and less insane so they don't come escort me out but I WANT this one! I have said I will only purchase it with my earnings from my home business so this is my very first goal for the year.

If you love this bag too you can order it at the Disney Store website. They also have several others and even more reasonable priced ones such as this one:

I was so very lucky to get this one during my last trip to Disneyland as a birthday present. It looks small in person but boy oh boy does it carry a lot! It is so adorable! I got the white but I will be ordering the blue as well.

I am always on the hunt for great Disney themed purses (usually minnie and mickey themed) so you can always expect I have more mickey purses than any sane person should ever have lol
