Made on Monday....Disney Edition:)

I know....Wednesday again....maybe I should call it Whipped up on Wednesday or something!  But 5 kids and school drama made Monday and Tuesday unfocused days for me and so here I am with a clear mind and ready to share.

Disney makes me happy!  We love Disney and are in the midst of planning another trip for our family.
October  2013 trip
I love to share the products we use on our trips in my shop with you!  I have a couple new products to share this year too!  It seems that so many of my friends and shop followers are getting ready to plan trips for the summer so I've been really busy sewing and dreaming of MAGICAL DAYS!

We usually travel with Grandma Smith or friends....either way, we have lots of people and I for one am NOT carrying all that stuff.  Big kids each get a backpack and they carry their own stuff: Water bottle, snacks, pin lanyards when they aren't trading or when we go on rides.
I have FIVE back pack bags to choose from now!
The Originals:  Mickey Pants and Minnie in Red Dots
But I will now be offering another choice for the BOYS!
Red Bag with Mickey Head *embroidery extra*
 And for the Minnie Mouses, I can do the bags in Pink
 Or PURPLE!  The purple fabric is in limited supply, so if you are thinking purple, think fast, because once it is gone....it is gone.
Bags can all be purchased here.

Now that everyone is carrying their own stuff, what do we do to combat this:
Hand out snacks of course!
Nothing beats the blues like being hungry and my kids are willing to eat anything I serve (carrots and apples:) if it comes in a cute Disney inspired snack bag.
 Tabs are perfect for helping little ones open bags themselves and give them something to hold on to while they eat their snack.  Gusset on the bottom keeps the bags open for filling and eating!
So they are carrying their own stuff and they have a snack, now lets get to seeing characters and having our pictures taken and getting autographs!  Maybe you have them sign a book or picture.  But my kids never got much use out of those or they got lost and it seemed like a lot of work for something we didn't use after our trip.   
So now you can have your favorite characters sign a canvas tote bag that can be used to help carry stuff in the parks and library books or anything once you get home!
Prepping to have Tiana sign a tote bag.
So get your Sharpie ready and after the picture, have them sign your bag!
Characters can sign the front and back of your bag.  You can add a piece of cardboard to the bag to make it more stable for signing and to be sure the ink doesn't go through....but we didn't do either and our bag was ok.
Bags all have the same Mickey applique done on the front with the tiny dotted fabric.  If you have a custom request, let me know:)
Choose from pink, red or cream.
Great to hang from the stroller with snacks in, if your kids are too small to have their own back pack.
I'm tuckered out just thinking about our busy days at the parks!  But I have learned over the years, that being organized at the start of the day and throughout our trip, makes our days much smoother.

Seems the only thing left to do is pack.  Be sure to grab a luggage tag so you know whose bag belongs to whom!  Check out these cute tags for your suit case, diaper bag or even to hang on your stroller.
So whether you are traveling with small ones and just need tags and a bag to carry it all,  
Or everyone is going to carry their own stuff,
Or this is your first trip and you need the whole set,
Head over to the shop and get all the goodies you need for your up coming adventure!
