Few Words On A Wednesday

Deck The Halls At Disneyland!
The Holidays at Disneyland are a treat for the senses and make your spirit soar.

Tuesday was my first holiday visit this year to the Parks - and hopefully I will visit many more times before the beginning of 2008 :)

I have been going to Disneyland since 1957 ...I was 7 years old...yeah, do the math ;-)
I have NEVER seen Sleeping Beauty's Castle this BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Of course I had to try something 'artistic' with a photo editing program!
I think this ROCKS :)

(the tiles are sealed/waterproofed, have a foam backing to protect furniture and measure 4"x4")

I would love to make a custom tile coaster set for you as well, using any images you would like ...
they make a wonderful
