Versatile Blogger Award

I have exciting news! Dawn over at Dawns Disaster has awarded me the Versatile Blogger Award.  I am SUPER excited about this.  Thank you so much Dawn!  For those that have not been over to her blog please stop by and say hello. I have to say receiving this award just made my day!

There are some rules about this award. 


Here are the rules for the Versatile Blogger Award:

1. Add the award to your blog. 

2. Thank the person who presented it to you. 

3. List seven random facts about yourself. 

4. List the rules. 

5. Pass the award onto seven other bloggers. 

6. Inform each blogger they have won by posting a comment on their blog.

Here are seven random facts about me, The Disney Girl:

1.  I love tea!  The stronger the better (no sugar in mine).  I don't care if it is iced tea or hot tea I just love tea.  I am actually somewhat of a tea snob as I like "good" tea.  Tazo Earl Grey or Tazo Awake are my two favorites.   
2.  I love to wear socks & tennis shoes.  I am SO not a flip-flop/sandal type of a gal.  It is a hard day for me if I have to wear any shoe other than my tennis shoes. Crazy, huh?  I know but that is just how it is.
3.  I love paper.  Whether it be crafting supplies, paper on my desk at work, books, the newspaper, magazines,  notebooks, etc I just love paper.  I love to work with it, shuffle it around on my desk at work and just mess with paper.  
4. I am a Lifetime member of Weight Watchers. I love the program and 100% believe it works if you do it.  I stayed at my "goal" for a long time but have let ten pounds creep back on.  These ten have been with me on and off for a few years so this may just be my new "goal".  I am not thrilled with the fact I am up ten but I originally I lost 49 pounds so I haven't done too bad.  I must admit it is still a meal to meal challenge but the health benefits of staying in check are worth it for me.  I still attend meetings.  I love the interaction and I also need to hear that others are hungry too. LOL
5. After talking about Weight Watchers I have to confess that I LOVE a cookie.  A cookie is the one thing that I can't pass up.  Chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter, snickerdoodle or cut-outs loaded with icing, you name it I love it!
6. I love going to the movies and often go by myself.  
7. I guess I should name at least one thing that I don't like.  That would be seafood. The only thing from the water I eat is tuna fish out of the can. I am not sure if that counts as seafood though. 

Okay, now for the hard part and hard it was.  Here are the seven bloggers that I picked to give this award to.  

1.  Mama Is A Hot Mess   2. The Pocketful of Dreams     3. Soni's Front Porch    4.  The Things We Find Inside             5.  Mommy I'm Done  6.  Super Messy Super Mommy  7.  The Red Headed Princess

Congratulations everyone & thanks again to Dawn!  I hope that you all have a Magical Monday!

A Little About The Disney Girl

While I was hopping along during the Mom's Monday Mingle I came across this awesome post from The Things We Find Inside.  I thought her "getting to know me" post was a great idea!  I thought it was such a great idea that I have decided to do a similar post. Anyone who really knows me knows that I LOVE anything Disney, crafts and toys.  After all that is why I started this blog in the first place.  Here are a few other things that you may not know about me.

• I love to read biographies.  Not just any biography but celebrity ones.  At the moment I am reading Diane Keaton's. It is an excellent book by the way. Unfortunately sometimes reading a biography can destroy the image I have in my mind of a particular celebrity.  This happened when I read Sandra Dee's biography.  She looked so carefree as "Gidget" but in reality life was hard for her.

• My favorite all time movie is Little Women.  I own every version ever made.  My favorite is the one starring June Allyson (as Jo), Peter Lawford, Margaret O'Brien, Elizabeth Taylor & Janet Leigh. 

•  I would of loved to have been a teenager in the 1950's.  I think that the mid 50's would of been the best time to be a teen.

• As much as I love Disneyland I also love being at the beach.  To me being at the beach is the most peaceful place that I can think of.  

• I have one brother and no other siblings. I am the oldest. Growing up we fought all the time.  Now if three days pass without talking I am calling him up.  We live five minutes apart. Who would have thought all those times we argued over the back seat space on a road trip that we would become close friends.  

• I have worked at the same office for 28 years. Yes, 28 years! Amazing, huh? I work in a dental office at the front desk.  I have scheduled a lot of appointments, processed quite a bit of insurance and heard about many toothaches in that time span.  I am also happy to say that many of our patients I consider to be my friends.

• I love a bookstore and could spend hours in one. I am not sure that I will ever own a Kindle as I love the feel and smell of a real paper book. The older the book the better. I often wonder where the book has been and who had it before me.  

• I am not a big hair and makeup gal. I do what is needed for maintenance.  Maybe someday that will change. I never colored my hair until after 40 and then it was highlights only. 

• I love watches. Not sure why but I do and I have a lot of them.

• My favorite birthday of all time was at Disneyland on my 40th birthday. I was there with over 40 friends and family members. It was an amazing day to have so many people that I love with me at the Happiest Place On Earth! To top off the best birthday ever my husband made me a scrapbook of my life. It was an amazing surprise and the perfect 40th birthday present! He had my family and close friends contribute letters to me and also photos.  This album is something that I treasure. Did I mention what an AMAZING surprise it was?  

That's all for now.  I can't tell you everything about me in one post. LOL If you get a chance I would love for you to leave me a comment telling me one thing about yourself. I am off to do something crafty.  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a magical day!
