Mickey & Minnie Tin Dolls

Since my kids are so little and we have a LONG road trip coming up, I have been trying to think of ways to keep them occupied. Well, I found this post via pinterest and thought to myself... I should make Mickey & Minnie for the kids!

So I did... I picked up these tins from the dollar store.

Now, before you get all Judgie McJudgerson on me... They are for the kids to play with once, they are not my best work. The faces are off kilter, they are clearly NOT any representation of Disney, just something I thought would pass some time for the kids in the car. Hopefully it will bide us a little time in the car though, since we'll be stuck in there for 1/2 a day or so.  

Disney Autograph Books

I decided to make the kids autograph books for our Disney trip. There are millions of examples out there for inspiration, but I decided to keep them kinda simple (don't want them to get torn up and the kids are still young). They each picked their character, I assembled and now they are ready for our trip (woohoo)! I did put a light coat of mod podge on the outside just for some added durability.

Grayson went with Cars. And I just happened to have some cars ribbon sitting around to make a lanyard. Perfect!

Braelyn picked Tinkerbell. Cause she is a die hard Fairies fan. Unfortunately I didn't have any Tink ribbon, but I don't think it will matter. ;) I even added a little pixie dust to the cover.

And while I was making the lanyard, I added a little spot in there to hold their pens. Just so little hands don't continually drop them. :)

There is a stripes challenge over at Kitchen Keepsakes, you should check it out. Grayson's autograph book worked great!
