When I got invited to a special meetup hosted by runDisney before the Inaugural Tinkerbell Half Marathon, you bet I wasn’t going to miss it.

Whether it’s the Disneyland 1/2 marathon or the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon, dressing up for any Run Disney race is an absolute MUST.

Do you remember wearing Amy Byer? I sure do. Back in the late 80’s, early 90’s I loved those dresses. I found this white Amy Byer dress at the thrift store for a whopping $1.50 and I knew it had potential. But not as an 80’s fad, but as a sweet “grandma’s sewing nook” inspired […]

Not sure if I’ve made this clear before, but the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon is one of my favorite races of the year. RunDisney has proven time and time again that they know how to run a fun and organized race. That’s why when they announced the new Tinkerbell 1/2 Marathon at Disneyland, I couldn’t wait […]

This shirred dress was another one that used to hang in my closet and didn’t get worn much anymore. The colors so suited Pumpkin, I had to make it into a dress for her. Find the basic steps for turning a shirred women’s dress into a girl’s dress HERE. This one didn’t have sleeves or […]
