A to Z Challenge - Y


PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-MR. JOHN YATES
Austen Alphabet25
I rather like John Yates because he seems to get his act together better by the end of Mansfield Park, but I'm not sure he is a wise choice for a husband for Julia.

PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-YEARS OF TRIP MEMORABILIA
On average, I do only get to take one trip a year to Disney World (although there have been exceptions), but I always take each trips stuff and box it up (or at least I have since 1999). All my trip documents that I made as well as what I was given at the resort, a set of the toiletries from the resort, cards, magic bands, maps, character schedules, pens, every single receipt (even for a soda), used/empty gift cards, a set of each size of shopping bags, the discs of original pictures (and the DVDs of the edited ones), the Birnbaum's Guide from that year and even the napkin you get on the flight are kept in their respective year boxes. I wish that airplane napkins were the most menial of the bunch, but there are worse things like drink stirrers and every little knick-knack I consider a "souvenir" (and I have a very fluid definition of souvenir obviously).

I haven't gotten the past couple of years labeled yet, but I'll get around to it eventually.

I love the numbers you chose. I have an old popcorn box my mom always made fun of me for keeping. I'm going to use it in a scrapbook eventually but so far it sits there :)

Wow - we are polar opposites as I keep nothing! But I am really enjoying seeing your collections.

I made a scrapbook (the old fashioned paper pages kind) of my first trip to Disneyland and I think every scrap of paper even remotely connected was in it. I like your totes!

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
