Evernotes Every Friday
1. End Credits of Tangled by Shiyoon Kim I just love seeing concept art or fan-art for beloved films, especially Disney films. I finally saw Tangled last week and during the end credits I fell in love with the artistic look and feel of the illustrations. Thanks to Google, I found the artist, Shiyoon Kim, who also helped with the character development throughout the film. There's several more glimpses of the end credits on his blog, but really, you should watch the film! It's great, very inspiring to go after your dreams and when that dream is achieved, go after another! Loved it! 2. Broken Trail BBQ Sauce Andy and I have been researching ideas for Rooftop BBQ's new sauce line so when I saw these, desinged by Imginaria Creative I was inspired. I can't wait to design our new labels! 3. Watercolor Fashion Illustration - C'est Magique I found this lovely watercolor illustration on Pinterest, isn't it beautiful? I love the soft underlying lines and how her face is only defined by her features, not an outline of her actual face. This particular one sold on Etsy, but there's many more in a similar style. 4.

A Year Spent at the Happiest Place on Earth
Ever since I met Andy I have had a Disneyland pass. And for one week in January I was pass-less! Last Friday I renewed my annual pass, giving me my chance at a seventh year at Disneyland. And it hasn't got old. Each trip is another exciting adventure. This year was definitely different as Andy started his BBQ business up he had much much less time to spend with me at the park, but thankfully my friend Rachel bought a pass and kept me company all year at Disneyland! I went 16 times over the course of the year and I wanted to share a photo with you from each trip! Here's to another great year with the Mouse!

Thankful for: Babes in Disneyland
I am so very often asked how I can go to Disneyland so often and not get bored. Well, I partially addressed that questions here. But in this post I'd like to further address my love for the people I go with to Disneyland. I do not get to adventure around the parks with children very much but when I do, it's that much more magical. And not only children defined by their age, but also by the young at heart. Those who can step through the turnstile gates and forget about their worries and just enjoy the magic. I'm thankful for the look on Sarah's face as she is doused with water as the Finding Nemo parade float rolls by
Happy 55th Anniversary Disneyland!
Everyone knows I love Disneyland. It's a fact, not an opinion. My friend Sam Branson, who just had her first baby girl (congrats, again!!) calls me Disneyland Sam. I know every nook and every cranny of that place, except the backstage. I like to say that I don't care about seeing the backstage because that would 'ruin the magic,' but that would be a lie. People ask how I can go to Disneyland so many times and still want to go again. To mass-answer that question
Excitement is Building Expontentially!
A very wonderful and generous friend of mine gave Andy and me tickets to see a special preview of the new show coming to Disney California Adventure, World of Color. And let me tell you, I am beyond excited. When I seriously think about going I just want to cry. With the crazy amount of crowds that descend the parks over summer I didn't think I would be able to see the show until the fall but now I can beat the crowds and feel special all in the same night! And then even better, I get to go back to Disneyland with my fellow princesses the following Sunday. Excited is an understatement right now. Here's some interesting facts on this new show from the Disneyland Twitter feed
