What to Do with All of Those Animation Academy Drawings?

Since we have been going to Walt Disney World, we have been drawing at the “Animation Academy” found at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. (Drawings are free and yours to keep).  Once we got home, the new found art would be either framed as our favorites or rolled up with the rest. Now that we live near WDW, we have accumulated so many that framing would be costly.

So, after we had cleaned our garage, I found that the empty white walls were too empty for me.  I pulled out the drawings, and voila, a masterpiece was born! I made a collage on two of the walls with the many drawings we had, and not only did it brighten up the space, but it is so cool to see them all up together. Some we had forgotten we ever drew, and some we didn’t even remember drawing at all. Now every time we head to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we will know what we HAVEN’T drawn yet and hope to add to the collage. We also put up my Mom’s drawing from my Mom and Me trip, and it gave me the idea to have relatives and friends draw in the class while they are here and then add them to the wall- sort of like a wall of Memories. I know, it’s the sentimental in me, but seeing my Mom’s signature on one of the drawings makes me smile and think of her. Enjoy the pictures and I hope it inpires you to do something with your art as well. God bless your day!

 

Merch Monday… It’s Time To Meet the Muppets

I didn’t get a Merch Monday out this week, so here is a belated one.

One of my favorite shops on WDW Property has to be the “Muppet Stuff” store.  I got the chance to head into it last night, so I grabbed some merchandise pictures of what they are currently selling- enjoy!

What You Missed in Chat Last Night…February 13th, 2012

As always, our group had a blast getting together and talking Disney! Our trivia question was “What do they call “Canada” in the future in the move “Meet the Robinsons?” The answer was North Montana and our winner received a deck of Haunted Mansion playing cards… congratulations! Every Monday we give away something from Walt Disney World, so make sure to stop by every Monday to have a chance at winning a piece of the magic! 

Here is what we discussed:

  • We talked about the Yearbook. Here is YOUR chance to be a part of the Disney Community by adding your picture and bio to it – check out who is in it so far HERE.  Interested? Email me a picture of yourself, name, city, state, and any other info you feel comfortable sharing.
  • We chatted about “Once Upon a Time” which is a fabulous show on ABC on Sunday nights- I am IN LOVE with that show, it’s the best!
  • We discussed “Fridays with Friends” and who was still interested in being one, as well as who was also still interested in our Birthday Club.
  • Craig checked in to chat LIVE from Epcot- signal wasn’t the best so he wasn’t able to stay long.
  • We talked about flash photography on dark rides…pet peeves at WDW seemed to be a hot topic
  • Did you know where Constance, the bride in the Haunted Mansion, stores the heads of her beloveds? We do!
  • We talked about great places to eat for Valentines Day on WDW Property

 We hope to see you next Monday- it’s always a great time! Have a great day!
