FEATHERED NEST FRIDAY No. 9 & HOLIDAY INSPIRATION

Welcome to Feathered Nest Friday No. 9!!!

Well, I have been quite absent this week from visiting everyone's blogs

and posting as much as I normally would...

I apologize..

I haven't forgotten about all my friends in blogland!

I was visiting a couple of mice this week...

enjoying such fun together in the past few days...

Here's where we have been...

The Happiest Place on Earth!!!

DISNEYLAND!

Ohh I just LOVE Disneyland!

beyond words really....the wonder, the magic, the Disney dreams...

I have been coming here since I was a little toddler and we have been bringing

our kids since they were little too.

I always feel like Disneyland is pure magic...we are kinda like what you might call Disney junkies. :)

Aside from the beach,

it is our go- to vacation spot and

we like to go when the holiday decorations are up.
Even though our kids are older now,

they enjoy going and spending some time with Mickey

and so do we!!

I am so thankful we are fortunate to live close enough to go often

and that we are able to enjoy Disneyland.

Small World

decked out for Christmas

The Haunted Mansion transformed by Jack Skellington.

On top of all the magic and pixie dust that is sprinkled all over,

I love the decorating inspirations that are EVERYWHERE at Disneyland this time of year...

New Orleans Square~

My absolute FAVORITE spot at Disneyland..

full of garlands, glitz, glamour and fun

they really go all out with decorations

If you have ever been at Christmas time, you know... Disney brings it!!

I love to get inspirations for decorating the trees, or the rooms from their designs.

I snapped a few pictures of the inspirations I gathered up this week..

Beautiful!!!

On top of Mickey and Minnie~

we even found Santa!

The holiday fireworks are truly magical and finishes with a sprinkling of 'snow'

I like the snow on Main Street much more than the real thing.

Speaking of the holidays, decorating and beautiful rooms-

I am planning a special FEATHERED NEST HOLIDAY PARTY coming up~

so get your decorating on!

more details coming soon!!!

Onto the party!!

Bella over at Bella's Rose Cottage shared her gorgeous purple transferware and purple finds~

I am loving the purple and Bella displays hers beautifully.
