Final Recap of 2020 Goals

Here we are again.  I can't believe another year has come and gone.  This year, I set out to conquer 2020 in a way that I've never been able to in the past.  I really wanted to feel like I accomplished something at the end of the year.  For a while, I have felt like I'm floating along as a bystander in my own life.  This year, I wanted to take some of that control back.  And to me, that feeling of control usually coincides with a checklist (or a few lists).  Thus, I find myself looking back at another set of goals.

Back in January, I posted 20 of my Disney Goals for 2020.  The list was very similar to my goals for 2019 since I didn't get as much done in my first year of self-employment as I had hoped to.  Now, it's time to look back to see how I did.  

I've been making goal lists for about 10 years now and I've never completed an entire list before.  Nevertheless, it's something that I genuinely look forward to.  Here are my past goal posts: 2014 goals, 2014 recap, 2015 goals, 2015 recap, 2016 goals, 2016 recap, 2017 goals, 2019 goals, 2019 recap.

Much like 2019, I stuck with the basics.  After Eliot's and my insane year of traveling in 2019, this year I set out to make my goals about sticking closer to home and making magic in our daily lives.  However, I never would have imagined that we'd be sticking so close to home... or how much I'd need to find magic in our everyday lives.  2020 was certainly full of lots of unexpected experiences and surprises... not the good kind. 

For those of you who are new readers here, or for those who need a quick reminder, here is the short cliff notes version of my goals for this year:

Melissa's Blog and Disney Goals for 2020

1.)  Go to Walt Disney World- Goal Met

Thankfully, Eliot and I took a trip to Walt Disney World back in January when we went with my cousin Kaitlin, her husband and their three kids.  Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to Florida this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

2.) Get a Puppy and Give it a Disney Name- Goal Not Met 
While many people got welcomed new furry family members this year, this was not our time to do so.  Things were rough in the small business world and getting our puppies wasn't in the cards.  We really didn't need another mouth (or two) to feed with the financial uncertainties we were already facing.  Now that Eliot and I have figured a few things out, we're planning to do this in 2021.

3.) Work on Disney Scrapbooks- Goal Not Met 
Simply put, I haven't cleaned my office out yet, so my stuff is all still in storage.

4.) Decorate the House for the Holidays- Goal Met 

While we didn't decorate the way I wanted to, Eliot and I were able to decorate the outside of the house a bit.  We also put up a few decorations for Halloween and Christmas inside the house.  The really good news is that with our new shelves in the basement, we're going to be able to organize all of our holiday stuff finally!!!

5.) Rebrand Blog and Social Media- Goal Not Met 
While this was the perfect time to rebrand, I opted to hold back.  I'd rather do it right when my heart is totally in it.  This year, I wasn't really inspired to do my blog overhaul, but I am getting closer to how I want it to look!

6.) Be More Active on Social Media- Goal Met

I was more active on my social media accounts.  This year, I had 35 posts on my mydisneylifeblog Instagram account.  It wasn't nearly as many as I'd hoped it to be, but I did make an effort.  I was also more active on my blog Facebook account.  I was really active on our Happily Ever Hatter Instagram and Facebook.  I also managed Eliot's Snowblade Creations Facebook and helped him with posts for Instagram.

7.) Refocus on Travel Agent Job- Goal Not Met 
Clearly, this was not the year for traveling.  I didn't put much effort into this.  People weren't traveling and I didn't push the issue with family and friends.  I'm really hoping that the travel industry bounces back in 2021.  I really enjoy planning trips for clients and I'd love to get back into this.

8.) Make Disney Decor for the Holidays- Goal Not Met 
I had a few projects that I was trying to work on this year.  I ended up going in another direction with my priorities, but this is definitely on my to do list.

9.) Make Disney Accessories- Goal Met 
I was able to work on more tote bags in my sewing class.  I'm also working on a few new products for Happily Ever Hatter behind the scenes.

10.) Have Disney Movie Nights- Goal Met
I watched a lot of movies this year, although not as many as one would expect.  Eliot and I mostly watched Hallmark Channel movies.  (We crossed a ton of movies that we'd never seen off of our checklist.)  However, I did watch a few over on our Disney+ account.  Eliot and I watched Lemonade Mouth from Disney Channel.  Then, we also watched Frozen, Frozen 2, Cinderella, Hocus Pocus, Onward, Coco, Secret Society of Second Born Royals, The Greatest Showman and Godmothered.

11.) Have Disney Board Game Nights- Goal Not Met 
This would have been perfect for a year stuck at home, but Eliot's and my board game collection is still safely packed away.  I've got a place we want to display them in the finished side of our basement; hopefully we'll be able to get to that sooner than later!

12.) Disneybound/Themed Outfit Challenge- Goal Not Met 
Let's be real, I spent most of 2020 in my pajamas or in yoga pants.  Somedays, I was proud of myself if I took a shower.  For me, this was not the year to have aspirations of stylish outfits.  However, I did start to organize my clothes, so it'll be easier to find things.  Hopefully I'll have more of a reason to dress up and go somewhere in 2021.

13.) Have a Disney Themed Party- Goal Not Met 
I really wanted to have our housewarming party this year.  (Haha!)  Yeah... that clearly didn't happen.  Maybe we'll be able to have people over again in 2021.

14.) Take an Online Class- Goal Not Met 
I did sign up for a few online classes this year but I still haven't gotten in the swing of scheduling them into my days, so I'm planning to do that in 2021.  Who knows when I'll be able to take in person classes again; maybe this will tide me over in the meantime.

15.) Design an Imagineering Project- Goal Not Met 
I had an idea for a fun small-scale project, but it made no sense in our current 2020 world.  Then, my other idea fell through when Massachusetts banned Maine from traveling there in November.  Blah.  Maybe next year, I'll just go back to my other idea regardless of where we're at with the pandemic.  

16.) Read Disney Books- Goal Not Met  
I hate writing goal not met, because I did read in 2020- which is an improvement from not reading at all.  It's just that I didn't read any of my Disney books.  I also just got a bunch of new Disney books for Christmas... at least 10 of them.  So once I finish re-reading the Hunger Games series, I'll have to start a few of my Disney books.

17.) Paint Disney Art- Goal Not Met 
I have more ideas than I did before.  I actually found an online class to paint Olaf in the snow, but we don't live near any of the art studios to pick up the supplies.  I wish more paint bars would do "instruction only" classes where you get the supplies yourself.  I've found some other alternatives though... maybe I'll try those in 2021 instead.

18.) Decorate House with Disney Touches- Goal Not Met 
I hate writing goal not met on this one too.  The only reason it's not met is because I haven't actually put anything on display or hung any artwork while we're still cleaning and organizing the house.  However, I bought some really cute Disney items for our home this year.  We've gotten a bunch of great things from the Disney Store, Hot Topic, BoxLunch and from small shops.  I can't wait to actually decorate!

19.) Launch Clothing Line- Goal Not Met 
This made no sense to dive into when I finally realized how much Happily Ever Hatter was suffering.  Making another line of products and designs mostly geared for the theme parks just isn't the right thing to put all of my efforts into when Disneyland remains closed.  However, we have some plans to get this going sooner than later.

20.) Launch Home Decor Business- Goal Not Met 

Eliot and I were so close to doing this.  I had a launch date scheduled and I was getting our products ready for a large photoshoot.  Then, we pulled the plug a few days prior to the launch date.  We ended up getting a ton of orders for Snowblade Creations for the holidays, and Happily Ever Hatter's sales picked up too.  In retrospect, it would have been a mess if we had pushed this issue, so I'm thankful that we held back.  That being said, we are actively working on getting this business off the ground in 2021.

In 2020, getting 5 out of 20 goals done seems like a huge accomplishment.  While I didn't get as many of these goals accomplished as I'd hoped to, I still feel like I made a lot of progress this year.  I was also able to check a few things off from my personal goal list.  We made major progress in organizing our house.  I prepared more meals at home and ate healthier.  I did take time to read a few books, even if I was just re-reading things I'd read before.  Eliot and I paid down a few of our credit cards.  I did travel somewhere new (Reno, NV for New Years) before we weren't able to travel at all.  Ironically, I spent more time with my immediate family... even if I spent far less time with everyone else in my life.  In the scheme of things, I did accomplish quite a bit.

You might recall that my 2020 word of the year was POSITIVITY.  I never would have imagined how much I'd need to look for that each day of 2020.  Things happen for a reason, and no matter how hard things got this year, I always tried to find the positive in it.  Was I perfect?  No; I felt plenty of gloom and doom.  But in my darkest moments, I brought it back to positivity and somehow I got through it.

So, there you have it.  Farewell 2020!  It's been real.  Don't let the door hit you on the way out.  Like most people, I'm certainly ready to say "Hello" to 2021... °o° 

2020 Year In Review

2020.  That alone can invoke lots of thoughts and feelings in all of us... many of those not so wonderful.  It's been a year unlike any other we've experienced.  2020, the year of COVID-19 and quarantine.  2020, the year we stayed at home.  2020, the year the world stood still.  2020, the year Earth was closed.  2020, the year we fought over toilet paper.  2020, a complete dumpster fire of a year for most of us.

For Eliot and me, 2020 wasn't much different than a normal year overall.  Eliot still had to work, and since I work from home, not much in our day-to-day lives changed.  But at the same time, everything changed.  We wore face masks.  We washed our hands... a lot.  We practiced social distancing.  We learned how to Zoom.  We cried.  We were scared.  We watched too much news.  We were uncertain.  But we made it through. 

Now that we're at the end of 2020, we have a lot of hope for the new year and for new beginnings.  Things won't change overnight once the calendar flips to 2021, but things look hopeful.  Vaccinations are starting to be distributed, and we're hoping that an end of this coronavirus nightmare is on the horizon.

Still, I like to practice gratitude.  If there's one thing that I'm thankful for this year, it's that it put a lot of things in perspective for everyone.  For me, it clarified a few things and allowed me to put things where they needed to be.  And for that, I'm very grateful.

While we didn't do too much this year compared to last year, there were still some highlights that I'm also very grateful for.  Here's an overview of Eliot's and my 2020.

2020 Year In Review:

January- Eliot and I started the New Year in Reno, Nevada with his family while on a ski trip.  We returned home for a few days before we headed down to Florida for our Walt Disney World trip with my cousin Kaitlin and her family.  We enjoyed Sea World and a few days at Disney.  I got really sick at the end of our trip... so much so that I ended up in the emergency room on our last day in Florida.  After a few extra days at our hotel, we returned home where I continued to recover over the next few weeks.

February- After spending weeks sleeping and relaxing on the couch while recovering, Eliot and I went to our first Maine Mariners hockey game.  That was the fish time I felt like myself since we returned from our WDW trip.  We spent a relaxing Valentine's Day at home eating frozen pizza for dinner.  We went to a few UNE hockey games with Elissa.  I worked on some new mouse ear designs.  We went to get the new Cinderella key.  Eliot and I went to Boston to see the Dallas Stars play the Bruins.  Then, we turned around less than 48 hours after the hockey game and drove down to Burlington to go to the Disney Store for the Leap Year Day Tigger key.

March- In early March, we all started to become more aware of the coronavirus.  Both of Eliot's parents in California were suddenly working from home, but we carried on as usual.  I went home to help my family while my mother had another surgery.  Eliot and I launched our hair clips for Happily Ever Hatter.  Eliot and I went to another Maine Mariners hockey game.  Suddenly, you couldn't find toilet paper on the store shelves.  I had my first (and what would be my only) spring sewing class.  The COVID-19 memes started.  We had reminders on how to properly wash our hands correctly.  We went to the Burlington Mall one last time to get the Frozen 2 dolls.  I went home another time to help my parents and when I returned back home, I prepared to stay home in my own unofficial quarantine.  Before the knew it, everything was shut down and things got real very fast.  We all actually thought we'd only be in lockdown for 2-3 weeks.  I spent too much time watching the news and despair set in.  In order to find some humor, I started my Quarantine Memes blog segment.  Maine officially entered quarantine.  By the end of March, I was trying to keep my spirits up so I celebrated Quarantine-O-Ween.

April- Soon 2-3 weeks turned into 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 weeks... and it was clear that things were not changing anytime soon.  Eliot and I adjusted to our "new normal" which was him still going to work every day as usual and me never leaving the house.  Like many, I struggled to find the positive, but I always kept trying.  Eliot and watched Onward on Disney+.  We celebrated Nana's birthday from afar.  We kept rolling with the punches as they came.  We celebrated Easter.  I spend hours working on my Things to Do While Under Quarantine blog series.  We celebrated Mom's birthday from afar.  Eliot and I celebrated Very Merry Quarantime.  In 30 days of April, I wrote 23 blog posts in an attempt to keep myself busy and my mind off of things.

May- Spring slowly started to arrive and Eliot and I launched our desk accessories over on Snowblade Creations. I celebrated my 7 year Blogiversary, Cinco de Mayo, my friend Katie's birthday.  I did everything I could to keep myself busy.  We finally did something that felt somewhat normal when we met up with Mom, Dad, Jeremy and Nana in a parking lot to celebrate Mother's Day.  I celebrated the Princess of Corona as well as my half birthday.  I found happiness in handmade good from small shops.

June- By June, tensions were rising.  Everyone was tired of quarantine and feeling like they were trapped.... which in turn shed new light to the fact that for years, many people of color have been trapped and that inequalities and racial injustices are everywhere in our society.  I took a moment to pause and learn.  I celebrated Dad's birthday from afar.  We tried to celebrate Eliot's birthday the best we could.  I spent more time at my parents' house helping out.

July- In July, I was pretty bummed that we couldn't go home for 4th of July so I went for a walk down memory lane.  Eliot and I had our own very scaled back 4th of July celebrations.  I watched Hamilton for the first time and loved it.  Eliot and I made a trip to IKEA.  Walt Disney World opened back up.  I shared my affinity for headbands.  Eliot and I spent some time with his sisters Sara and Elissa before Elissa moved back to California.  We celebrated Christmas in July.  

August- Eliot and I escaped reality in the form of swimming in a friend's pool.  My Mom had her final and most complicated surgery mid-August and I went home a few times to help Dad out.  Thankfully, Mom's surgery went well and she was home a few days later.  Orders for Happily Ever Hatter started to pick up.  We went swimming some more.  We watched Hallmark movies.  We had a block party with the four houses in our neighborhood.  And Eliot and I spent most of the month of August watching so many hockey playoff games once it returned on August 1st.

September- I was determined to have a good month, so of course we lost our water for a few days at the beginning of the month.  We went to visit my parents over Labor Day.  We had fun going into Bar Harbor for ice cream and lunch.  Eliot and I met up with my friend Katie for dinner.  We watched more playoff hockey and cheered former Shark captain Joe Pavelski and the Dallas Stars when they made it to the Stanley Cup Final!  Football season started.  Eliot and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary and the 5 year anniversary of buying our house.  We also made sure to enjoy the simple things like the leaves changing in our backyard.

October- By October, I was going a little stir crazy.  Eliot and I took a quick day trip down to go shopping in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.  We decorated the house for Halloween.  I got some more headbands.  I started my fall sewing class.  We had another neighborhood block party to celebrate Halloween.

November- On November 3rd, Eliot and I voted.  We had a picnic on Old Orchard Beach on an unnaturally warm 70 degree day.  We celebrated my birthday pandemic style.  Disney's movie Tangled turned 10.  We had Thanksgiving at my parents' house, picked out a Christmas tree and walked around Bar Harbor.  I finished my fall sewing class and was thankful that we made it through the entire class with no cancellations. 

December- December was a blur like it usually is.  Eliot and I busted our butts to get all of our holiday orders out in time.  We had a few snowstorms.  We closed our Etsy shops and took a much needed holiday break.  I had too much fun working on our 2020 Christmas card photo.  We spent Christmas at my parents' house and Eliot and I started a new Christmas morning tradition for my family.  Then, we returned home and I spent a quiet week preparing to welcome the new year... which brings us to today!

As rough as 2020 has been, Eliot and I still had plenty of wonderful moments.  This year has made us all stronger.  It hasn't been pretty at times, but looking back, we did it.  We survived 2020.  Here's hoping that 2021 will be kinder to us, and that we will all be able to get back to our new normal, whatever that looks like.  °o°

2019 Year in Review

Yeah... I know how this looks.  We're two days away from 2021, and I'm just posting my 2019 Year in Review write up now.  Honestly, I wasn't even sure if I was still going to do it, but something in my gut told me to regardless of how late it is.  I had plans to post it in January, but between our trips and me returning from them really sick, I never got a chance to write it.  Then, the coronavirus came and I didn't feel like looking back at all of our traveling adventures when I felt trapped at home.  Plus, since my cell phone crashed in September of 2019, all of my photos were on my desktop and that was a pain to go through.  But now that it's the end of 2020, and since this year was pretty much a hot disaster, I've been thinking a lot about our trips, past memories, and how blessed Eliot and I have been.  So here we are...

2019 was an adjustment for me.  It was my first full year of self-employment.  With that, I had a lot of highs and a lot of lows.  Being your own boss is both super rewarding and torture.  You have no one else to blame but yourself when things go wrong.  However, when things are going right... you feel like you're on top of the world.

The thing I think of first when someone says 2019 is traveling.  Because I was working from home and could make my own schedule, Eliot and I had the opportunity to travel a ton!  We went on so many trips!  I'm planning to do more reviews of our adventures, and I'll go back and tackle them here and there when I have time.  (Both trip and yearly review posts take a lot of time to write so I really have to make time to do them!) 

Here's a quick overview of Eliot's and my 2019.  (Side note: Gosh, I really miss 2019...)

2019 Year In Review:

January- We rang in the new year in Fort Collins, Colorado with Eliot's family.  While there, we went sightseeing at the Denver Zoo.  We also went to a Sharks game against Colorado Avalanche.  Eliot and I returned home for a few days before we were off to Florida.  We spent a few days at Walt Disney World.  We went to our first Festival of the Arts.  We also went to the Sharks games against the Florida teams.  Before heading home, we flew to San Jose for the NHL All Star Weekend.

February- The Patriots won the Super Bowl.  Eliot and I went to a few UNE Hockey games with Elissa.  I took a few acrylic paint pouring classes and got addicted to how much fun it was.  Towards the end of the month, Eliot and I went back to Florida for the Princess Half Marathon Weekend.

March- March was a total blur.  I was sick from our trip to Florida and my ear wouldn't pop.  I started my spring sewing class.  I also took my first resin geode class. Eliot and I went our to San Jose at the end of the month to see a few home Sharks games. 

April- I returned home from California and was pretty sick for a few days.  I helped Mom and Dad with the last few days of tax season.  Eliot and I kept busy watching San Jose Sharks playoff games pretty much every other day for the entire month.  Eliot and I also took a resin geode class together and he really enjoyed it too.

May- I spent a few days covering for my replacement at my former job.  It was fun to see a bunch of my patients again.  Eliot and I had to make an unexpected trip out to California after his grandmother passed away.  We went to her funeral.  Then, while we were in California we also went to a San Jose Sharks home game and spent a day at Disneyland.  We continued to keep busy watching the Sharks playoff run until they were finally kicked out of the playoffs.  Over Memorial Day, we went to visit my family and we saw the live action Aladdin.

June- In June, Eliot and I went to Tennessee to help Elissa settle into her apartment for her summer internship.  We went to Dollywood, explored the sights in Nashville, and went to the Nashville Zoo where Elissa would be working.  After returning back to Maine, I kept busy getting caught up with mouse ear orders.  Towards the end of the month I went to Funtown Splashtown with my cousin Kaitlin and her three boys.

July- Eliot and I went to Bar Harbor for the 4th of July.  My brother wasn't able to make it so later that weekend my family all met up in Old Orchard Beach.  Eliot and I kept ourselves busy with orders.  We took a day trip to Massachusetts for the Toy Story keys.  We saw Lion King and Aladdin at our local drive-in movie theater.  I celebrated Christmas in July with a sneak peek of all the holiday merchandise for Christmas 2019.

August- Eliot and I continued to keep ourselves busy with orders.  We went to see Toy Story 4 at the drive-in.  We visited my parents one weekend and they treated us to tickets to our favorite comedian Trevor Noah.  Dad came down one weekend to help us with projects around the house.  Eliot and I took a weekend getaway to go to Six Flags and we visited BoxLunch and Yankee Candle while in western Massachusetts.

September- We spent Labor Day in Bar Harbor with my family.  In the middle of the month, I went on a solo trip to Walt Disney World for a few days before my travel agent conference.  Then, I boarded the Disney Dream for my SeaCon conference.  After an amazing few days at sea, we returned to land where I spent a few more days at Walt Disney World and went to Mickey's No So Scary Halloween Party twice.

October- Honestly, October went by in a blur.  I worked on a lot of mouse ear orders and samples to prepare for our upcoming holiday trips in November and December since I knew we'd only be home for 14 days over an 8 week period.

November- Eliot and I had an early Thanksgiving with my Mom's side of the family.  I celebrated my 35th birthday.  A few days later, Eliot and I flew down to Florida to spend Thanksgiving and an entire week with his family at Walt Disney World.

December- Eliot and I started the month in Walt Disney World with his family.  After returning home Maine for 4 days, we were off to Florida again.  We spent a day at Walt Disney World, saw the Lights at Jeter Bend and went to Sea World.  Then, we went on our first of our back-to-back Disney Christmas cruises.  We returned to land and met up with my parents, brother Jeremy and Nana.  Then, we went on our second Disney Cruise.  We had such a great time!  Then, we spent a few days at Walt Disney World, went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and returned to Maine.  Eliot and I spent 5 days at home before heading to my parents' house for Christmas.  Then, once we returned home, we were there less than 24 hours before hopping on a flight out to California.  We went to a San Jose Sharks home game and then we drove out to Reno, Nevada where we ended the 2019 year on a Tahoe ski trip with Eliot's family.

2019 was pretty much as good at it gets.  As you can tell by the lack of links toward the end of the year, I didn't have any time to blog as 2019 came to a close.  Eliot and I were truly blessed to be able to travel as much as we did.  

For me, 2019 was definitely a year of adjustments, highs, and lows.  But overall, we had a really great year.  And compared to 2020... 2019 was incredible.  Stay tuned because 2020's Year in Review will be here tomorrow!  °o°

Magical Merchandise: Disney Reigning Cats and Dogs Collection

Oh.my.dog!  It's merchandise that I never knew how badly I needed it!  This morning, Disney officially launched their Disney Parks Reigning Cats and Dogs Collection.  The new merchandise line is available at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, as well as online at Shop Disney!  This also marks the first time Disney has made a full collection for both humans and their pets with apparel, accessories and more!

Next year, my number one goal is to get a puppy.  Eliot and I have wanted to get one for years, but we've been responsible adults and have held off.  The cards are aligning though.  Now, I work at home full time and we're so close to having the house at a place where we'll be able to open our home to a furry friend.  In fact, we're actually seriously considering getting two puppies.  (That's the current plan anyways!)

Photo Source

This past year or so, we've slowly been gathering pet supplies.  Eliot's bought a collar or leash here and there.  He found collapsible water bowls on Amazon.  I've gotten a few pieces of wall art to hang in the living room on what I'm planning to have as a small puppy gallery wall.  I've gotten a few Disney dog clothing items.  All of these small acts have been done with the idea that we'd be puppy parents soon.

You can see why I was so excited when I first heard about this collection last week!  As of last Sunday, the new Spirit Jersey had been spotted in a few Disney Stores so I actually stayed up until 3 am last Monday with the hopes it would be online.  It wasn't until later in the day last Monday that I learned there would be a full Disney dog and cats collection and it was being released today.  I've been waiting patiently all week!

Eliot stayed up until 3 am for the release and I set an alarm on my phone so I'd be ready to join him.  After we placed two separate orders, we headed to bed!  This collection is so cute!  Here are the things we ordered, as well as a few other favorites!

Spirit Jersey- This was the first thing in our cart!  I love it and it's pink!

Dogs Shirt- I had to get this all over Disney dog print!  It's too cute!

Raincoat- Eliot added this for me last minute.  I love my other Disney raincoat and this will be perfect to walk the dogs in the rain!  (It's already sold out in the larger sizes!)

Alex and Ani Bangle- This was part of our second order.  I was afraid it would sell out!

Photo Frame- Eliot and I got two of these, one for each of our future fur babies.

Dogs Dress- I absolutely love this and it's on my wish list!

Photo Source

Dogs Leggings- Cute, but I refrained from buying them since I have the blue version.

Dogs Loungefly Backpack- This is really cute too!  I also behaved myself since I have another Disney dog Loungefly mini backpack from Hot Topic.

Dog Spirit Jersey- Your pup can match you in it's own Spirit Jersey!  Super cute!!!

Dog Accessories- Leashes, collars, dishes, and a spatula set with Dug!  So cute!!!

There are plenty more dog items to pick from, plus all of the Disney cats merchandise available!  We did notice that not everything is online yet.  We're still waiting on the dog leash, collar, bandanas, dishes and the dog dress to be online.  We might have to add a few more items to our collection because these items are pawfectly adorable!  I can't wait to have our own little pups to pamper with these cute Disney accessories!  °o°
