2 Days until Disneyland!
For a 34 year old woman, some would say I’m far too excited to be going to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure with two other 34 year old women – and no kids. The three of us are varying levels of Disney fans, and the fact is that none of us have been to Disneyland in years. We have also never been there during the Halloween season with the ride overlays and fall decor. To boot, I’ve never even been to California Adventure. So we’re doing this. IN 2 FREAKIN’ DAYS!

I mentioned earlier this week my obsession lately with Disney themed crafts for my upcoming trip to Disneyland to enjoy their fall festivities for the first time and share in the 60th Diamond Celebration fun. Since my travel partners are two of my best friends, Rachel & Lorenza, and no children, I’ve been looking for some crafts that don’t involve countdowns, reveals, or stuff that’s obviously for kids. We had discussions on what kinds of things we’d need for the trip and what kinds of things we wanted to embellish ourselves. One of the things we decided we wanted to make unique were water bottles.

With getting a new puppy, my FIRST puppy, actually, there was a lot of prep. We gave a lot of Winston’s things to my vet as donations, so I had to purchase new stuff for Pixel – a few things I’d given away but mostly stuff I’d never had before, specific to a very small puppy. I decided that bell training would be great (it’s basically a bell the puppy is trained to ring to go do her business outside). I had seen many of them on Pinterest and thought it was a terrific idea, but none that I really liked. So I decided it couldn’t be THAT hard to make one myself.

With my upcoming trip to Disneyland, I started pinning projects to a new #DisneySide board months ago when my friends & I finally settled on a date. One of the crafts I came across while scouring Pinterest for Disney or Disneyland related crafts that were more adult was not something I could use for our trip, but something I loved the idea of: a Hitchhiking Ghosts Mason Jar Tutorial. It looked cool, and I’d bought a vector silhouette file of Phineas, Ezra, & Gus last year, but it was needlessly complicated. So I hacked it and came up with my own.

Things have been quiet around here on TrishaLyn.com, I know. I’ve had a lot going on in my life that’s pulled me away from this blog. I shared with you losing Lunchbox, and my mother’s plight. There’s more to that later story, but I won’t go into it now. For now, I want you to meet one of the reasons I’ve had little blogging time this summer – our new dog, Pixel!

I started writing this post an hour ago entitled “This year can SUCK IT”. I still stand by that statement, but I feel like my rambles deserve two posts. So first, the saga of my mom’s horrible, no good, very bad summer that is starting to turn around thanks to some truly generous and AMAZING people I’m so glad to count as friends. This is going to be long & very personal, so strap in.
