10 Things to know before you go to Medieval Times

10 Things I wish I knew before I went to Medieval Times

Happy Red Knight SupportersAs a blogger I get to do a lot of fun things, and sometimes I get to include some of my favorite people. When I had the opportunity to go to Medieval Times in Buena Park, it was an easy decision for Jason and I to invite our close friends Chris and Jamie. What made the experience that much better was that for 3 of the 4 of us it was our first time attending and seeing the show.

As a review blogger myself, I decided to look up reviews to give me an idea of what to expect and after attending I feel like there are something’s that were missing. Therefore I compiled a list of the 10 things I wish I knew before we saw Medieval Times:

Cheers for a fun Knight with Friends1. To Drink or not to Drink? This is for the adults who want to drink – if you purchase a drink you can choose your choice of souvenir glasses. The base cost starts at $15.00 (that was the cost of our glasses). Refills start at $7.00 and you end up with a little more than fits in your cup – quite the good deal. If you do not want to pay for drinks they have complementary water, tea and Pepsi. I had the Mermaid’s Kiss and Jason had a Mango Margarita which were both really good. While the cups were expensive, they are a strong metal that makes you feel you’re in the medieval times and will be reused.

The 2016 Stamp & Scrapbook Expo is Coming!!

2016 Stamp & Scrapbook Expo – Various Locations –

Win a Ticket!

TicketsI began my scrapbooking love before scrapbooking was a real hobby. I would go to the store, purchase sleeves, search for the perfect decorative paper (which was in abundance since “laser printers” were becoming a growing household items. I would purchase stickers by the sheet full, and I would save cute things I saw in magazines. I remember one of my first scrapbooks was for my best friend from high school – summarizing our years as friends.

I recently got to see that early version of  a scrapbook and I am surprised on how ahead of the trend I really was. The homage to a friendship has endured really well over the years despite the lack of time preservation techniques used. Today, that is much less of a concern than it was, as most craft products are acid free and scrapbook safe.

As you can imagine that as a crafter I am super excited about the upcoming Stamp & Scrapbook Expo in Anaheim California!

Craft and Hobby Mega Show 2016 Wrap-Up

2016 Craft and Hobby Mega Show Wrap-Up!

CHA IntroI had a dream come true recently, I got to attend the annual Craft and Hobby Mega Show at the Anaheim Convention Center. I have been wanting, wishing and hoping that I would be able to attend this annual gathering of craft companies, craft stores, retailers and media.

I went into this fairly blind in that I was not sure what to expect. I downloaded the application on my phone and tried to map out a plan – that did not work. I did have a couple of priorities including seeing a couple of booths and meeting a couple important VIP’s. Other than that initial plan, I was able to just cruise around.

I have been a fan of Disney movies, products and characters for as long as I can remember. I am such a Disney fan that I own 3 shares of the Walt Disney Corporation and will patiently sit and read the annual shareholder letter contained in my annual stock report.

While I love the newer Pixar themed movies, I really love the classics. One of my favorite classics is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and lucky for me the new show from Disney On Ice features this very classic set of characters. Disney On Ice’s new show Dare to Dream is coming to San Diego and not only are we going to see it but below you will find a chance to see it as well.
