This week's Wordless Wednesday picture is a little different. I started the week off posting on Beth's On Safari in Harambe series, and that got me into the safari mood so I thought I'd continue the Kilimanjaro Safari Adventure. I couldn't decide on just one photo for my calendar shot, so I made a photo montage of a few.
I realized while doing this project:
#1 I need some serious help with my scrap booking!
#2 I have enough animal pictures to fill a book!
I'd like to thank my friend Mary at Capturing Magical Memories for generously sharing the safari embellishments with me and for inspiring to get back to scrap booking.

Photo Flashback: Disney Friends
It's Photo Flashback Friday! Time to once again enter the Wayback Machine and have another look at our old Disney photos.
Today's flashback photos may contain some familiar faces for you. These pictures were taken during a 2010 AllEars meet in Epcot. At same the time The Flower & Garden Festival was happening and everywhere you looked there were beautiful displays of flowers. Two of my faves, flowers and friends!!

L-R: Barrie Brewer, Deb Wills, Deb (moi), & Steve Barrett posing while Disney Friend John (of Tagrel fame) snapped this picture.
I love connecting with Disney Friends. I just wish I could do it more often. It was so very good to see Disney friend Deb from AllEars.net. We had fun reminiscing about the early days of RADP, a Usenet newsgroup that was the online meeting place of Disney fans in the early 90's, and catching up on all the new things happening in our lives. Barrie & I chatted about photography, of course. Check out her pictures and advice column sometime, they are amazing!!
For lunch we headed over to Morocco to grab a bite and made a special Hidden Mickey just for Steve, the HiddenMickeyGuy ºoº What a magical meet!!
I hope you enjoyed my

I just love this Hidden Mickey and whenever I ride Snow White's Scary Adventure I check to make sure it's still there. It reminds of a Snow White book I had when I was a young girl. The attention given to details like this, really heighten the magical experience in the parks for me.
Favorite Hidden Mickeys
Welcome and enjoy the ride as we share with you our favorite Hidden Mickeys.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the phrase “Hidden Mickey”, I'll let you in on it. Everyone else, bear with me or skip this part.A "Hidden Mickey" is a Mickey Mouse shape that has been discreetly placed throughout the Disney Parks, Resorts, Disney Cruise Line and movies by clever Imagineers, Crew Members and Cast Members.
Hidden Mickey's come in many forms and are made of many different materials.They can be a complete Mickey Mouse profiles (I never seem to find these) or classic outlines of his head and ears. They are a lot of fun to look!--

Photo Flashback ~ 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea
It's Photo Flashback Friday! Time to once again enter the Wayback Machine and have another look at our old Disney photos.
Today's flashback photos may be familiar to you. I've posted them before. Sorry, but I really enjoy looking at them. They bring back many happy memories from the late 1980's & 90's. As you can see they are scans of matte finished pictures. The matte finish gives them a vintage look. Come to think of it, they are vintage!

Sail with Captain Nemo on a submarine voyage aboard the "Nautilus" and explore lost undersea worlds. |
The submarine ride 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea was located in Fantasyland in The Magic Kingdom. It was later re-imagineered into Ariel's Grotto as a Meet & Greet area.
I really enjoyed this ride even if it was cramped and the line waiting to board was long. It was always worth the wait. There were no characters or animatronics involved but a lot of imaginearing.What a magical voyage! Pin It |

- Instructions
- Fold the card stock in half and draw a heart shape with one side along the fold to form a hinge (we used a heart-shaped cookie cutter for a pattern). Cut out the heart, keeping the hinge intact.

- Cut the photocopy to fit inside the card and glue or tape it in place, lining up the eyes with the eyeholes. Write "Peekaboo!" on the front of the card, and inside, write "I love you" and any message you like.
