I "Heart" Snow White!
When blogging pal, Tammy, found this Snow White magazine cover for me on Pinterest I knew at that moment what my theme for Valentines crafting would be. The first thing I did was print a larger version of this darling graphic on printable fabric and applique it to a white tee-shirt shirt to wear on my Valentines trip to Disneyland. I will wear it with a red sweater or hoodie and everyone will stop me to ask which shop I found it in. Lol...I just love messing with other Disney tourists. If I am feeling especially obnoxious whimsical I will tell them I got it in a little shop in Fantasyland.
Snow White's Valentine Party...
Garden Party in a Chocolate Tin...
It took some searching on Pinterest, but I was able to find Snow White and all seven of the the Dwarves Valentines from 1938. I just love the soft colors and Snow White's sweet expression. The tin was an oval about 10 inches long. The cottage backdrop was from a Snow White playset I bought at Disneyland last fall. I will be using the playset figures in another project.
The Dwarves are so cute and quirky!
Snow White's bluebird sings on top of the flag pole.
Tiny Tea Cup Ornaments....
Tiny Tin Tea Cups Fairy Garden Ornaments.
I have been wanting to make some of these tin cup ornaments since I saw them on Pinterest. They are inspired by "Dime Store Chic." I was unable to find any of the cute little tin cups until a few weeks ago when one of my favorite bloggers, Meri of ImagiMeri's offered some for sale on Facebook. I hope she likes what I did with them. So far I have only made these two, but my daughter Sascha...who loves Alice in Wonderland...thought they would be cute using Alice figures for cake toppers. I'm hoping there will be an Alice-themed wedding in the next couple of years.
The wee cups are only 2" across.
I want to attach them to ornament clips when I find some.
Snow White cake topper came with seven gnome-like dwarves.
The dwarves have little tools and wheel barrows.

A Fun Christmas Surprise!
Water Tower in Stanley's Oasis...Cars Land!
I just love Cars Land in Disney California Adventure. They built the whole town of Radiator Springs...which amazes me. You could spend a week there and never see all the detail built into that attraction. The line for Radiator Springs Racers takes you into Stanley's Oasis which has a Route 66 vibe with its old garages and a building made out of vintage oil bottles. Entering the Oasis, you pass by the cutest old water tank...the 8 and 3/4s Wonder of the World. I just love everything about it. This Christmas, my DIY DIL, Lori, surprised me with my very own Stanley's Oasis water tank. I can't believe she made this for me!
Isn't it the cutest thing ever?
