Drawing Dopey

Some time ago Disney Parks Blog started posting videos on how to draw favorite characters. They posted how to draw Grumpy back in September and this week they have how to draw Dopey!

The Fightin' Seven

Disney Parks Blog has rolled out a Disney Side March Magic competion.   You can vote for your favoirte East coast and West coast attractions to see who will reign supreme.
I'm of course on the Fightin' Seven Team! 
To add even more magic...you can purchase a limited edition shirt for each team, but only as long as the team remains in the voting completion from Disney Store Online.  Once it has been knocked out, you won't be able to order it any more.  I bought my shirt earlier this week!

Diamonds, Popcorn, California Adventure, and Snow White

What do they all have in common?  Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will be featured on an upcoming popcorn bucket to celebrate Disneyland's Diamond 60th anniversary this upcoming summer!  (Available May 22) The Snow White inspired popcorn bucket will be sold at Disney California Adventure.  Check it out on Disney Park's Blog: here.









I will be making a trip so I can have this awesome popcorn bucket for my collection!

Essentiel Clothing

The other night I was catching up on my blog reading when I came across an article on Disney Style.  It showed a line of clothing featuring Bashful!  How unusual!  I had to find out more...
Essentiel Antwerp is a Belgium company that started designing and selling T-shirts.  After a year, they moved into a store in Antwerp.  It was four years later that they began the Essentiel ready-to-wear line and it has grown from there!
The Essentiel and Disney collaboration has nine different clothing items, all featuring Bashful, and a nice big bag!  Check them out:

I really love that the items feature Bashful, but I'm not sure I understand why they used the phrase "Begin thy magic spell" with him.  Do you?

Snow White clothing - in stores now

I love that there is so much Snow White clothing hitting selves of stores these days.  It's tough to decide what to get!  I love seeing some sweatshirts - I haven't seen those in a long time.

Getting Crafty: Snow White Production Art Bracelet

Who doesn't love some exclusive Disney related bling to show off at the next fan club meeting?  At a stamping show, I discovered Craft Fantastic: a DIY jewerly company.  After looking over all the options, I decided to make a bracelet featuring the art of my favorite Disney movie.  I purchased a retro black round bracelet kit to get started.

Step 1: Choose the images
I got my images from the interwebs (more specifically, I found a French fan website I blogged about in an earlier post).
Step 2: Print images as thumbnails
I found that the thumbnail size was just right to get the images I wanted to fit the round glass.
Step 3: Glue images on the glass
See Craft Fantastic's website for more detailed instructions.
Step 4: Trim the edge of the glass
Step 5: Adhere the glass to the frame
Step 6: Brag about your craftyness at the next D23 event!

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Popcorn Bucket

Recently there have been a ton of fun shaped popcorn buckets hitting the Disney theme parks (especially Tokyo).  I was so thrilled and jealous to see a Seven Dwarfs Mine Train bucket hit the scene in the last month or so.  Well, thanks to a kind Florida resident, I am now the proud owner of Mine Train bucket complete with popcorn!  Quite the feat for a Cali resident like myself!

The handle can be positioned up or down

The jewels open up to reveal...popcorn!
