Melbourne to Auckland ~ A Festive Occasion

My pirate night outfit!

I AM SO EXCITED!!
I went to a HUGE second hand store outside of Tokyo and found some really awesome stuff from the parks for FE gifts at a fraction of the price. And cause I'm in Japan, second hand stores aren't dingy and musty, no, they have cases of luxury purses and wallets and immaculate clothes. Stuffed animals and toys aren't dirty or broken.
Most items were even in their original container!

So yeah, HUGE score for FE and I even picked up some stuff for myself, which included quite a bit of SnoSnow merch ...

This is what I got! Basically Minnie, Mickey, Donald, and daisy in an adorable snowman form. I have been collecting SnoSnow items for years, way before I moved here. In fact, I have the matching Donald to the Daisy in the photo, he's just in storage back in Canada.
Now Tokyo Disney doesn't do anymore SnoSnows They have these Mickey Gnome guys that are kinda cute, but not as cute as the SnoSnows.

Anyways, I'm super excited at the items I bought to gift in the FE and I just had to share; real Tokyo Disney merch, in new/great condition, for a fraction of the price. Yeah, it was a good day.

Working on making magnets! Not all are cut out (had to stop cause my finger hurts from the exato knife) and none are laminated yet. But ... pictures anyways!

I don't have my usual craft stuff but I'm making due



I do not claim ownership of the designs.

Im planning on making my door all piratey for Pirate night
I added my name on the Elsa mickey head, the date on one ear and DCL logo on the other ear for the Wonder ornament, and the words "Arr, matey It's Prate Night!" for the last image. Lol all done on google docs.

Not shown is s special magnet I'm working on. Hint: it involves fairy lights!

Still finishing magnets. I ordered something for FE but they sent the wrong size and there isn't enough time to order the proper size

The wheels on my suitcase kind of broke, the outer layer of the wheel came off on 2 of my wheels. Thankfully I was able to find replacements and I just now finished putting them on.

Other than the botched order already mentioned, I now have completed my list for individuals. I plan to give a holiday FE gift that involves a bag with holiday themed goodies, the same across all cabins, and individual gifts wrapped like holiday gifts. I plan to deliver both the holiday cabin bag and individual gifts at the same time. I also have a bag for each cabin which was SUPPOSED to include a homemade gift (that's the botched order) and a few goodies from Japan.

I will try one more time to get what I need for that homemade gift. Hopefully there is enough time.

I went to a HUGE second hand store outside of Tokyo

Where was this? Did they only have TDR merchandise or did they have other toys? My daughter loves the Mell-Chan dolls from Japan and she would love one of the retired ones that is still listed in the brochure that comes with the dolls (which is why she's so keen on acquiring it).
