December 5

Day 5 is here! You might be thinking this charm is a little weird for a December countdown bracelet. I hate to pull this card, but my bracelet, my rules. 

This charm is of the sun emblem in Tangled, done in Shrinky Dink plastic.

Time for backstory and insights into my weird brain. There are a few movies I watch at certain times throughout the year, every year. You already saw my Halloween picks in a previous post, today I watch Tangled. 

Now, I had first thought the movie had sounded okay when it came out in theaters, but it wasn't until my friends had told me how awesome it was that I went and saw it myself. I didn't know exactly what the story was about, I only knew it was about Rapunzel, and that a tavern scene was amazing. So I went and saw it December 5th, 2010. On my birthday, I went and saw a movie about Rapunzel's dream for her birthday. And the film is amazing, don't get me wrong, and I do watch it at other times of the year, but today rolls around, and it magically finds itself in the dvd player to be watched.

So the fun linkage you get today, one of my favorite places to go, Disney Crafts at family.com, Tangled crafts: http://family.go.com/disney/pkg-disney-character-fun/pkg-everything-tangled/

Brave day out

Today I went to see Brave and have an enjoyable day out with my sister in law A and her daughter, niece E. Post about the movie and my thoughts updated tomorrow when I can use the main pc whose keyboard doesn't keep skipping letters. I wanted to get this out asap, since it's pretty awesome and a fantastic favor bag idea that isn't too expensive and crafty. I made niece E this gift since this is an awesome movie, her birthday was a few months ago, and I needed an excuse to make/give a goody bag. I love making little things like this, and if anyone needs ideas for something like this, totally contact me, I don't mind.

I made a Brave goody bag, read on to see what went into it and how to bring it together.

Brave activity book, found here at Disney's Family.com site.

Shrink charms, also found at Disney's Family.com site. All you need is an inkjet printer and special inkjet shrinky dink sheets. Do not use regular shrinky dink sheets, it will not work, I've already tested and it's a fail.

The treat bag, stickers and lip balm locket all come from Party City, but you can also find them on Amazon, and the pencil came from the dollar store. Put it all together and I believe it's a pretty good bag for any kid, young or old.
