The Second Disney Pixar Blog Hop

Hi! Welcome one and all to the Second Disney Pixar Blog Hop! If you just came from Tami's Craft Connection, then you have hopped to the right spot!

When I was a little girl, I could always count on my mom to load me, my 2 sisters and my brother into our car and head to church every Sunday night. Don't get me wrong--I loved going to church, but on the rare occasion I got to stay home, I would nearly burst with excitement! I knew that soon Marlin Perkins would take me on an exotic journey to a far-away place where I would learn about animals that were too amazing for my little mind to contain. I can still hear the opening to "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" playing in my head. :) I never did understand what "Mutual of Omaha" meant, but there was no doubt about the "Wild Kingdom" part!



But, when I think back, "Wild Kingdom" was just the opening act for the real show..."The Wonderful World of Disney." After a brief commercial break (anticipation mounting!!!) a beautiful castle would materialize on the tv screen. I knew the castle had to be real. I was sure that I would one day live there with my very own prince. And then, magical little Tinkerbelle would fly out, igniting a spectacular fireworks display with her magic wand. Oh, how I wished I was a fairy!



For the next hour, I would sit so still, soaking up every magical moment. For a brief time, fantasy became reality and I was part of a world where animals could talk, princesses always found true love, and a happy ending was inevitable.

That's why I am so excited to be part of this hop! And...in honor of all my happy, childhood memories, I've created not one, but TWO special Disney-themed Cricut Expression Cozies. Here they are:

This Cozy features the famous Tinkerbelle flying around on a lime-green background, with purple and teal daisies scattered all around. The coordinating purple fabric is vibrant and matches the purple daisies perfectly. This Cozy is sure to be a pretty addition to any Disney-themed crafting area.

The next Cozy I made is dedicated to that Classy Mouse who started it all--Mickey!



This Cozy features a comic strip Mickey in a variety of colors/poses. The perfect embellishment is a pair of buttons that look just like the ones found on the front of Mickey's britches!
