What a great story, I had to go tell it to my DH and DD.My DH and kids got me the Jim Shore "The One That Started Them All" which is the one with the 7 dwarves, snow white and the evil queen on it and when you turn it around behind the evil queen is the queen transformed into the old creepy witch. It's so detailed! I have a few Jim Shore pieces but this is my biggest and coolest one so far!
There's actually a funny story behind this gift. My DH HATES shopping...he tries to avoid it as much as he can. Well my girls are now at an age where they want to go and buy a gift for mom and they know if I buy the gift it's not the same thing. So my DD's bugged him non stop to buy a Christmas present...so my oldest DD came up to me one day and said "mom if I could get you something that was easy to go buy (cuz Dad doesn't want to go to a big store) but you would like it what would it be??"
I said I love any Jim Shore and they are at Hallmarks which are easier to get into around here than other places. Her eyes lit up and off she ran to tell her dad. Well a little bit later I hear her raised voice and I wondered what was going on... Finally about 30 minutes later my DH comes in and says, " why do you want gym shorts from Wal Mart??"
I was so confused for a second that then busted out laughing....I said ," Noooo I would like JIM SHORE from HALLMARK."
So the big joke now is do you like your gym shorts you got for Christmas??![]()

We had a very Disney Christmas here, vinylmations, Jim Shore, Frozen, Star Wars, Gaurdians of the Galaxy and Disney Infinty. My fave was a necklace I ordered from Etsy for my oldest DD with a castle and a hand stamped disk that says, "Dreams Do Come True."
