Evidence of the Disney Magic

(jessicasprague.com supplies:  EZ-PZ Template 08 by liv.e designs)

We decided this year, instead of spending money on some elaborate birthday party for Gwen in our hometown, that we would put money toward a family Disneyland vacation on her birthday instead.  This was the best decision we’ve ever made for a birthday party.  The above picture was taken on Gwen’s 8th birthday at Ariel’s Grotto inside Disney California Adventure Park where Gwen had lunch with her favorite princess, Ariel.  We also got to meet and take pictures with all the other princesses as well.  Her birthday marked the opening day of the new Ariel Undersea Adventure Ride.  We didn’t plan that but what a nice surprise. She also received a complete Disney Diva makeover that morning at the Bippity Boppity Boutique in Fantasyland at Disneyland.  Towards the end of the night, we watched the new World of Color water attraction on the California side which was brilliant by the way and she got to pick out a new Ariel costume at the Disney store on our way back to our hotel.  It really was a magical birthday--one she will never forget and neither will our family.  The downside—well, what the heck are we going to do next year?

Check out the new family portrait with Mickey—this will probably only happen once in a lifetime—ALL of us looking at the camera and smiling—SO worth this trip!

Welcome to my blog, Stop #15!

1. Below you will find the game rules and a preview of my printable card available for download.

2. I created a printable card using items designed by Liv.e Designs, Cosmo Cricket, The Queen of Quirk, In The Making Designs, and Carina Gardner Studios.  Print and use the card as is or add your own hybrid elements like I did. 

(Hint) Print it twice to cut out an extra key.  Poke a hole at the top of the key and bow-tie string to the hole.  Use pop-dots to elevate the key.  Sew on a button and add some zigzag stitching to make a border!
