Happy Birthday to ME!

Well, today's the day... I'm another year older.

This year I couldn't help it,
I gave myself a little birthday treat,
by taking myself to the Disney Store.

(The closest one to us is an hour away, so it's a trek)

Here's what I got!

This Brave placemat was just too adorable and vibrant to pass up!!

It sits on my desk at work now.

Looking at Merida's crazy hair makes me happy...
because this is my hair, LOL!

Mine is a lighter red than hers, but just as curly and crazy.

She makes it look good... mine just looks a mess!

But my ancestors are from Scotland,
so I particularly love this princess.

... plus...

I make Teddy Bears!

How could I NOT love Merida???

I also got:

The 5.5 inch doll pack from Brave.
It includes 2 different versions of Merida,

one doll of her Mother (who is lovely)

and her three little brothers.

and finally, probably my most ridiculous purchase...

Baby Rapunzel from the Artist Signature Series.

She is SO CUTE!

Ok, almost all of them in this series are so cute

(except Merida... who looks friggin evil... WHY MUST SHE ALWAYS SMIRK??)

Aaaanyhow...
Where possible, Disney had the original artists go back and
draw the princesses as children...

then they made dolls.

ADORABLE dolls...

that are 16 inches tall

and only $24.50.

(Although currently on sale for $20)

I bought it under the guise of "Oh, this is for my future kids..."

but who am I kidding... she's totally for me.

And I need to get Ariel and Mulan too... at the very least. LOL.

Oye.
