Silhouette portraits are symbolic of family, celebration and an era of elegance, and simpler times

At first you may find this not much different than most blogs. But if you read on, you will join me on my journey which includes my family, places I visit, and people I meet. I am very grateful to share my art and consider it an honor to give something to people who have never seen how a silhouette is created or even had their silhouette done before. I love hearing the stories of those who may have posed for a silhouette years ago, at their elementary school, fair, or an amusement park. Some have shared, they still have their silhouette framed and hanging on their wall at home or their mom's wall. Others say it's in a scrapbook or put away in a box. What amazes me, is these stories always come from a good place and people cherish them and hold on to them for many years.
Silhouette art is unique and fun.

Christmas Magic 2017 #sleepingbeautyscastle #christmasmagic #disneyland #fantasyland

I love Disneyland all day, any day. I especially love Disneyland at Christmas. Yes, it's crazy crowded and the lines are long, I don't care. I will still go to Disneyland and enjoy it as much as possible. After all, it is the "Happiest Place on Earth".
I took my mom to enjoy the holdiay festivities at Disneyland and at California Adventure. She's aging and in her 80's now. So, we got her a wheelchair as it is difficult for her to walk. That works to our advantage when it comes to waiting in long lines. We didn't go crazy and rode only a few rides. I took her to see the Frozen show at the Hyperion Theater and she enjoyed it even though she had no idea who Anna and Elsa are nor what Frozen is.
The main attraction I wanted her to see was World of Color Show aka  Dancing Waters Disneyland Hotel . Growing up locally, we often visited Disneyland, and on the weekends when we wanted something to do on hot summer evenings, we would go to the Disneyland Hotel and watch the Dancing Waters and  the Fireworks. This was waay back before Downtown Disney and California Adventure. When friends and/or family from out of town would come to visit my mom always took them to the Disneyland Hotel to see the Dancing Waters. The show was short and compared to today's technology, quite simple. It still was nice and it was enjoyble.
 Well, my mom did enjoy the World of Color and even though it was cold she still had a good time.
