Cakewalk

It's my last day as a teenager, which is a little bit heartbreaking...but it's been a wonderful day, so I guess it'll be ok. :'D
We (my room mate and I) went downtown to the Southeast Guide Dog Center, where they have guide dogs in training come in and socialize. They say it's to get them used to other people and being in public, but really, it's just an excuse for me to cuddle some puppies. :D
When we got back, found out my family had sent me an early-ish birthday present:

...a chocolate gift basket! As you can see, it was well-recieved.

(Let's just ignore those Nutritional Facts on the back, shall we? :D)

My friend Franny (we're art buddies!) sent me this a few days ago for my birthday, too:

I love Princess and the Frog, so this ornament was amazing and wonderful, and just made my day. Sorry for the horrible blurry-ness, it really is a beautiful ornament!

And, my Modcloth dresses (from my last post) came in!

Here's one of them; I also bought the "Owl Be Home" dress, but I was gong to wear that one tomorrow. My room mate says it makes me look like a shepherdess, but I love it. I'm crazy about ruffles (and rococo...) and Victoriana, so I really don't mind.

 These two were sort of my consolation to turning old (and a pat on the back for art?)...and I guess one for each decade? That makes sense...-ish.

Sorry for the long post, I'm just feeling pretty happy right now, and I'm kind of gushing. :D

How Nerds Dress Up...

I'm a massive Disney fan; I love the movies, the parks, the (old) cartoons...I even want to work for them someday, even if it's just as janitorial staff.
So, when I found out there was Disney Couture about a year ago, I bought more Disney apparel than is probably healthy. Besides this shirt, there's two more I have (I definitely have more, but they're not the 'Couture' kind), then there's a necklace and a charm bracelet as well. Even bought a pair of Ariel hoops as a gift for my sister's birthday this year. o.o

Snow White's not even my favorite; Belle comes first, then Tiana (same animator! :D)

But it's definitely one of my favorite illustrations from "The Art of the Disney Princess", which is an awesome book and they based a lot of the shirts off it.

If they add any 'Gargoyles' items to the line, my budget will never recover. D:

Shirt: Disney Couture

Skirt: H&M

Belt: Forever 21

Hey There!

This is pretty much my first post of my first blog ever...besides Deviantart, I haven't ever posted journals or such online. No, Tumblr doesn't count. :/

Yesterday we spent New Years at Downtown Disney to celebrate, and since it was my sister's birthday. Super fun, but, you know, super-busy.

Candy Apple making at Marlene's Confectionary. We always buy lots of fudge from them, but never any of the apples, which is kind of a pity.

(Inside! <3 )

I'm addicted to jelly beans, but only the ones that taste like dessert (I picked out Strawberry Cheesecake, Marshmallow and Cotton Candy....with some peanut m&ms....). I'm even wearing my Disney Couture necklace in honor of the visit (Beauty and the Beast, of course).

We crashed at the Grand Californian for a while, which was still all decked for Christmas. There was even a fire, which was awesome.


Happy 2011!
