Ooohh!! I've got some great things in the works! Keep checking back for some very special one-of-a-kind goodies and sets! It seems that I've been drifting farther and farther away from polymer clay these days, as more and more people have started selling their polyclay charms and such online. Don't get me wrong, I still work on polymer clay orders all the time. And I do enjoy it! It's just that lately, I've started experimenting in some different media on my own time. Now, for me anyway, it's all about glittery resins and festive papers and do-die-for fabrics and yummy threads! Oh, and let's not forget the beads... Mountains and mountains of all sorts of delicious little seed beads! *giggle* Sometimes I think I'm not even going to use them; that I'm just going to leave them here in their little tubes and bags and just stare at them! *giggle* And yea... I'm still all about making the jewelry and accessories. I've just found some different ways to do it! ;)

So keep checking back!

Also, I'm not taking any more orders of any kind until after Christmas. I've got several parties and other holiday events planned, and I want to have lots and lots of time to spend doing other things!

I do still have things in my Etsy shop, so if you want something right now, just go there! Most likely I will be also adding a few things there soon, too!

I'll let you guys know when I'm taking orders again!

I've been waiting for this thing for months!!! And it's here!!! Woohoo!

The 2008 Walt Disney World Passporter! And now... On to the review!


This is the cover for this year. I LOVE this new cover. It really pops out at you more... Like, instead of "I'm going to Disney World", this cover says, "YEA!!! I'M ON MY WAY TO DISNEY WORLD, BABY!" It's like that. I like the castle picture, too. With all the lights on inside... I can just imagine Cinderella running around getting ready for a grand ball. :)


This is an open page from the Pop Century section. We just love our Pop Century! Although this time we're splitting our stay between Pop Century and the Polynesian, Pop will always have a special place in our hearts. <3 Note the awesome rating charts, and transportation time chart. These are VERY helpful in the 'deciding where to stay' process. There's also a map for each resort, too. Along with tips on the best/quietest/most convenient rooms, etc. So that after you have completed the 'deciding where to stay' process, you can then tackle the 'where to stay at where I'm staying' process a bit easier as well. ;) (Come on, you guys know what I'm talking about!)


The best guide book maps I have ever seen for WDW. Really. They fold out, so they're at least twice as big as other guidebook maps. And they have these handy little guides that tell you about how much time it will take to get from place to place in the parks. Nice! Plus, they're in color, which is also very nice!


Fun stickers! To... You know... Stick in different places! Seriously, these are great for marking special places, noting special celebrations, and not to mention making you look more organized!

Okay... Get ready for this...


Passpockets! The most unique guide book planning tool ever! EVER! Yes, they really are pockets for storing maps, receipts, tickets, and any other memorabilia you collect on your adventures! Oh! And let's not forget that on each Passpocket is a place for you to write all the information you could possibly need about your trip.

There are 14 of these little puppies in the Passporter.

The first one is titled, 'Our Journey'. You can write your departure and arrival times, flight numbers, reservations numbers, rental car info, to do lists... And more! Yeah, 'cause that's just the FRONT of the journey Passpocket! On the pack are places for you to write about your memories, pictures, meals, budget and notes for your journey! Wait! It doesn't stop there! After the journey Passpocket is one titled 'Our Rooms', where you can write everything you'll need (and want!) to remember about your resort! Resort name, reservation number, special requests, phone number, the room number and location that you actually get at check-in... Whew! The back of the rooms Passpocket is similar to the journey Passpocket; filling out memories, pictures, meals, etc.

The rooms Passpocket is followed by the 'Our First Day' Passpocket. There are ten of these, going all the way up to 'Our Tenth Day'. On the front of each of these, you can fill in your schedule for each day, including dining plans and reservation numbers, things to do, and notes. The back is reserved for you to write your memories, weather for the day, photos, budget, meals, and more notes. Trust me, you can never have enough notes for/about your trip!

After those AWESOME little Passpockets, is a blank Passpocket! "Blank?", you're asking. Yep. This Passpocket is reserved for you to journal about whatever you want! A special meal, a memorable show, the time your friend almost drowned in Shark Reef, special events like Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, or maybe even just use as an extra day. It's up to you!

And last, but certainly not least, is the Magical Memories Passpocket. On the front you can fill in all your most magical experiences, from meals to attractions, your most magical day, and other special memories. The back is for you to make a little mini trip report. When you went, who went with you, what you would do again, what you wouldn't do again, etc.

Alllllll THIS... And I haven't even mentioned half the stuff in this wonderful guidebook. There are worksheets for everything - resorts, dining, budget planning, etc. - to fill out and help you with your trip planning. Tips and magical memories scattered throughout; and these are so much fun to read! There's info on all the attractions, restaurants, shows, resorts, dinner shows... And the list goes on. There are two pages explaining the new dining plan options, a two page packing list, information on special tours and activities, and even suggested touring plans for each park.

If you're even just thinking of getting a Passporter... STOP. Stop thinking about it and go get one! You won't regret it! It's a wonderful planning tool, and a great keepsake to have after your trip! We'll never go back to WDW without one!

So... Jimmy and I just got back from our Thanksgiving shopping. And I'm ready to cook dessert! My specialty! LOL

Oh... And my Passporter did NOT get here today! You guys were not sending enough vibes to the mailman. Shame on you! Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow before I go to babysit Taigen. (I just found out I get to babysit him tomorrow afternoon for a little while!) Not that I'll actually get anything done while I'm babysitting. My goal will be to hold him the whole time. :)

And now, I must go work on some orders.

But first...



A nice view of the Computer Pool at Disney's Pop Century Resort. Because I would love to be swimming in it right now!

Honestly, I think my head is going to explode if I don't get my Disney World Passporter Refill tomorrow! I pre-ordered it over the summer, so it should be here any day! I've got lotsa stuff I need to get organized before our trip in January, and I NEED my Passporter to do so! Plus I can't wait to read the new tips and magical memories, and see new pictures! Woohoo for the Passporter!

Now... Join me in sending 'Passporter vibes' to the mailman.

And for your Disney fix:

Wellll... I only have two days of work this week - today and tomorrow. Then I get five wonderful days off! I'm so excited! I've got so much going on during the break. Trips, shopping, family, friends... I may just do a back flip. ;)

Also, I've only got three spots left for the custom colored and scented wrap bracelets/necklaces. (There's a post about them down there somewhere.) If you want one, hurry and let me know! I most likely won't have time to take orders for any more until early next year.

And... Yes. I can just make the heart charms for purses and zippers, too!



I've had so many people asking for just the heart charm. I can do that! If you want just the heart charm on a silver lobster claw clasp, it's $10.50 plus shipping. But.. Of course... I can only take orders for so many, so if you want one... Let me know ASAP!

That's all for now!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

It is such a pretty day today!

I'm going to run over to Mom's later and deliver some orders for some ladies that she works with.


Some resin pins and earrings, cupcake pins, flower earrings.

And here's the birdhouse I made for Mom last night:



She just loves birdhouses! I'm going to show it to her, and find out if she would like it made into a pendant, ring, pin, etc. Or she may just want to sit it up in her office window!

I also noticed on AllEars, that the Tusker House buffet opened yesterday at Animal Kingdom! Really, it doesn't sound all that bad. I'm STILL going to miss the old CS - it was great for a quick lunch. But the new buffet has a nice selection, and they still have the rotisserie chicken and the salmon!! Woohoo! The reviewer said it reminded him of a mini version of Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. So it has to be good! We LOVE Boma!

Well, I'm off to print some business cards before I leave!

Chat at ya later!

How I love you!

Pink Peppermint Chocolate Scented



Pink Sugar Scented



Fresh Blueberries Scented



Cotton Candy Scented



These are part of my new line of hand-stitched and scented charms, pins, and other goodies!

And now I simply MUST go to bed!

Enjoy!

I'm so excited that it is Friday! And then next week there's only two days of work (Monday and Tuesday) and then I'm off for five more days! Woohoo!

Although I do have a few things planned, this should give me loads of time to work on orders, put up some new designs, maybe get some action shots, etc. Oh... And watch Alice in Wonderland over and over!

As for right now...

Hmm... I think I'm going to go and work on some scented heart bracelet/necklace orders:





It's a bracelet and a necklace! You can either wear it as a wrap bracelet, or a 'Y' necklace where you can chose the length! I'm now taking orders for them (In your choice of colors and scents, of course!) They are $23 plus shipping. Just let me know if you would like one!

Have a lovely night!
