Yard sale finds!!

Finally the Saturday I spent yard sailing arrived! I woke up extra early and got a head start, even snagging up some pretty great scores at the first two I stopped at. Eventually my luck seemed to dwindle out, but I'm still incredibly happy about what I found. From left to right : Star Trek Borg action figure, red and blue Mickey Mouse cabinets, readers digest : gone with the wind, canon camera, magnets and buttons, various colored scarves, Disney cups, yellow retro mushroom light, magazines, and a beautiful crocheted blanket. 

A friend like Lacey

I have the best "pinpal" in the world. This all started when I was having my "Disney blues" and found out there were people who would pin trade online, if you don't know pin trading is just one of the magical things Disney does, they release pins with everything Disney related which are both for sale and trade. Once at one of the parks you can trade a pin a cast member is wearing for one you already have. Fortunately for those who can't make it to Disney can still participate in pin trading with online traders, I have found traders on Instgram, but others go to Pinpics. Luckily my first pin trade has evolved into a great friendship. Lacey and I began trading in January and through the months have gone from just trading pins to sending Disney related goodies!  

Instructions left on the outside of the package. 

Some of the contents : A nice handwritten card with Mickey Mouse cut-outs!

All of the contents :  Aurora pins, different language maps, Disney magnets, and some other fun stuff!

 

 This is how my journal page turned out, using one of the envelopes as a pocket for the card. 

Craft Haul!

I love when twists are added to days, like everyday I picked my little sister up and dropped her off with my mom. However, instead of saying our goodbyes we decided to make the most of what was left of the day by going craft shopping!! We went to all of the craft stores in our area (the day ending not quite how we were hoping but still!) 

There was such a great sale going on! 50-70% off! I was able to get all of this stuff for $30!! 

Instamemories.

October is gone, as you can see it took me a while to admit it. I love October, it's sad to see it go. However,  November is here and with that a new segment I will be doing every month, I will upload some Instagram photos that highlight the month. (Since this is the 1st time the layout may change month to month) (From top left to bottom right) : 1. Canary and Boots admiring our new coffee table. 2. An amazing vintage camera I thrifted. 3. A Mickey Mouse pumpkin at Disney 4. Our mantle all dressed for the Halloween.

Saying goodbye.

Today was our last day at the park, Magic Kingdom. We used this extra Magic Kingdom day to do things we couldn't do on Sunday. Meet characters, ride rides, and get pictures we didn't get. Overall a very relaxing day, and a surprise day! My older sister, Brittney, drove 8 hours to be with us on our last day! Here are a couple of pictures from my favorite moments!

Back from Disney!!

Hey everyone, we got back into town last night at midnight so I'll make sure to post real soon!! Until then here are some pictures I took on my phone.

Enter. The happiest place on Earth

The day has finally come!! We are going to Disney! Our day started early, waking up at 4am, with plans to leave by 5. Our journey to the happiest place on Earth would take about 6 1/2 hours.  The drive was long, but the moment I saw the sign it was a sigh of relief. That everything I have been doing for the past few months was finally here and I could finally enjoy the rewards! I really don't even know how to sum everything up because it was so overwhelming. All the shops, with all the merchandise, with all the characters (and we weren't even at a park!) Downtown Disney is amazing and i can't wait to go back every night (if we have time).
