Happy Halloween!

Happy Almost Halloween!

It's hard to believe that the end of October is here!  If you are looking for some Snow White related ways to celebrate - be sure to check out the following:

* Carve a Snow White pumpkin with a template from Disney Family

* Download an Evil Queen wallpaper for your laptop, tablet, phone...from Disney Parks Blog (there are a few different ones including a new one for Disneyland's 60th)

* Put together a Villains party with lots of ideas from Disney Family

* Play a game of Dig for Apples

* Create some Evil Queen inspired Apple treats or cookies

* Make some paper projects: Evil Queen Mask, 3D queen, or Snow White's crown

2,000!

An amazing thing happened last weekend...my collection reached the 2,000 mark!  It can not believe that I now own 2,000 pieces of Snow White memorabilia.  A long time ago I started a spread sheet as a way to inventory the items I own and some time ago I started putting pictures of the collection in my Google photos.  I can't tell you how valuable that has been.  Keeping the inventory and the on-line photo gallery is great for insurance purposes, for checking "do I have that?" while at collectible shows, and for family members to check and see if that ebay Christmas gift they are bidding on is something I own or not.  If you want to check out my collection - see the collection page at the top of this blog.

Mickey Monthly Snack Box

Today's post has nothing to do with Snow White, but it is definitely Disney related!  I love getting mail, but so often it is just boring junk mail and lots of evil bills.  SO, I am thrilled to have received my first Mickey Monthly Box!  I have gotten on the subscription box wagon and signed up for a snack only box.  While I live in Southern California, I don't make it to Disneyland as much as I would like (and with passes on the rise, it looks like it will go back to a once a year trip for me).  Anyway, I saw this box and thought it was perfect for me!
Here is the description of the box I signed up for:
"Monthly snacks and treats from Disney World, automatically delivered directly to your door, every month.  We hand-pick each package from a large selections of WDW treats you can only get from your favorite vacation destination (until now)."

I lucked out and signed up in the month of September when they were running a special: a free Tsum Tsum and a Mickey rice crispy treat!  My package level includes two to three treats each month...so here is what I got:

What a great box to open!  Those sour balls are one of my favorite of all time!  I miss the green only bag - but red is my second favorite color!

So I got four treats this month: Rock candy, Sour cherry balls, shortbread cookies, and, my favorite, the Donald Halloween bag with sour gummy pumpkins!  And check out the Ursula Tsum Tsum.

Overall, I am excited about receiving this box each month!  When I signed up, I wasn't sure if I would continue to the subscription.  But after opening my box and seeing all the goodies, I think I will keep the subscription for the time being.

Walgreens Villians Make-up

I was up in beautiful Big Bear this weekend when I saw this in the local Walgreens:

 

So cool!  I picked up some of the make-up remover wipes that had all three girls (Queen, Maleficent, and Ursula) on the bag.  They also had blush, lipstick, eye shadows and a beauty book that featured the Evil Queen.  There was also some hair accessories by Scruncci.  Being on vacation, I didn't think to snap any pictures of the other items.  I already visited my local Walgreens with no luck finding this Fall 2015 line.  I am on the hunt for an Evil Queen make-up bag and brushes. Apparently, these starting popping up in stores in late August.
