We had a wonderful time last weekend. We saw a mouse. A mouse you ask? Yes, the friendly, black eared-5 ft tall-talking mouse Mickey. It was my kids' first visit to Disney and it was a great weekend! Pricey, yes, but worth it! I've been 3x now in my life: when I was 6, on my honeymoon, and in my 40's. I loved MK (that's slang for Magic Kingdom) and how it hasn't changed much over the years. They still have It's a Small World, the Teacups, but have some awesome rollercoasters too. And we rode all of them!! It was great being care-free and just letting go.
I finally found the purse pictures! I made this purse and also made 4 coordinating cards. I gave it away as a door prize when I hosted Beta Sigma Phi meeting at my home in September. It was well received. Here they are:
I also have a pumpkin goodie to throw in from a die-cut my friend shared with me. The picture doesn't do justice, as it's missing the battery tea-light in it. Trust me, it's super cute!!! More seasonal crafts coming soon!
I do remember a not-so-fun story about a mouse when my kids were 7 and 3. My husband was deployed to Iraq and it was warming up outside in Missouri early May. I wanted to bake some brownies (I hadn't used the oven in a while) so I preheated the oven. There was this horrible stench! I realized a furry critter was being cooked. I immediately turned it off, let it cool and went searching. I pulled out the bottom drawer entirely, looked under the cookie sheets, and to no avail couldn't find it. I soon realized he had climbed up inside somewhere. I didn't know what to do!! I called my father-in-law and asked his advice. He said "put the oven on the CLEAN option," (this was a gas oven) and take the kids outside to play. You have to burn it out."
EWWWW!! But I did it and it solved the problem. Thankfully it was beautiful enough to open the windows and air out the house. I was also thankful that the smell didn't linger around like burnt toast or burnt popcorn. I still make a "stinky" face when I tell the story or think about it. Well, it's not my stinky face below, but rather, my sweaty face with my cute hubby wearing my mouse shirt in sunny Orlando:
Have a blessed day in the name of the Lord!
