Happy Thanksgiving

Though your turkey may be small,

your chairs borrowed,

your friends unusual,

your place a "mini,"

it's the love you share

that's important.

Wishing you and yours

a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Dory's Malibu Beach House...well...Beach ROOM

I got the very cute chest of drawers at the Kiwanis Thrift Sale the other day and spent some time trying to find out where it came from. It had "Disney 2008" written on the bottom. I tried to figure out what Disney movies it could have possibly come from. My son wondered if it could have been from Hannah Montana and there you go....correct! Children!! It comes from the Hannah Montana Malibu Beach House. That gave me the inspiration for my own beachy room. A girly-girl lives there but her heart is in the right place.

SHOES...PURSES...

MAKEUP!

Nighty-night.

Many thanks to Alice Zinn for the Port St. Lucie bag , Jazzi for the Aussie Flag and cool map pillow (I love maps). These were all part of MJ's goodies. Thanks to my sister for the peace sign card. And, of course, thanks to Will, for sussing out the Hannah Montana connection.  I also got this chair and ottoman that is from the same beach house set.

For the next scene...

Dory, You Got Some 'Splainin' To Do or Homage to I Love Lucy

The Cake Factory

You have to put these cakes together as they come

down the conveyor belt says the mean boss.

And you better do it right and fast.

I had to edit this post as I had forgotten to add the

picture of "Dr. Martha" from Dr. Who working diligently.

They make nice cakes here...

but they seem a little carried away with inspirational signs.

What's a girl to do but

Keep

Calm

and

Wear

a

Big Hat.

See earlier blog for the inspiration for this.

I LOVE LUCY CHOCOLATE FACTORY...FODDER FOR THE BLOGGER

Watch this video and see why it and my sister's gift were fodder for the next blog.  It was my husband who had the idea to do this.

MJ's last day in Ann Arbor

On her last day in Ann Arbor MJ visits the Ikea in a nearby town. They have a great nursery display with the coolest wall and floor graphics. She loves the light fixture, too.

Notice that she has on the new clothes she got at Kiwanis that Saturday.

Then it's off to the train station in Ann Arbor to catch the train to????????????????????

Her next destination is a secret...stay tuned.

On the way she spies some cute guys in a shop window. YUM!

Wouldn't Construction Jack be fun to take with her

on her next adventure?

She's all packed up and ready to go. I see she has

a bag with presents for all her hostesses.

Bye MJ.  Safe travels.

The cute room and lamp are really Ikea purchases of mine. The "room" is a Brada Laptop support.

The lamp is called Strala and is a decoration with an LED bulb inside.

Halloween Party.....X rated

Colossus and Nyota invited MJ to their Halloween Party. Everyone came dressed up...well Colossus is ALWAYS in costume. Most people dressed as their favorite superhero. MJ found a black cape and a witch's hat.

Cute hosts.

MJ is lookin' good.

There is Daredevil.

Batman

I hope this is a decoration.

You can see the back of Cyclops. Looks like MJ has their full attention.

There are treats...and weapons.

More treats in the dining room.

Nightcrawler has found the drinks.

They worked hard decorating.

Spiders

Someone dressed as green army man says, "Don't go upstairs."

That's because there is hanky panky going on up there.

And it's where all the purses and coats are..now they are on the floor.

When you fool around, you have to watch out when your paramour is

a nun with a sword.That's spider man and a woman dressed as a nun.

And what about that ghost?

Even the bathroom is decorated.

There's some creep in the bathroom thinking he's funny, a hand

coming up the side of the sink...eewww, and a spider in the chair.

I'm glad they have a first aid kit in case anything goes schief

(the German word we always used in our family to say

when something too fun is going to go badly).

Then there is the ATTIC!!!

Baby furniture and a chest with something creepy in it.

Lederhosen...always scary.

Even Pierrot is scary.

Gambit found the only place in the house to be The Thinker.

And now they turn on the blacklight.

Now this could keep someone from answering nature's call!

AAAAHHHHH!

Nightcrawler looks like he's reaching for toxic sludge.
