Park Hopping My Happy Place is temporarily closed.

Due to increased professional and personal commitments, I’m taking a step back from administering the challenge for the time being. Rather than run it inconsistently, I believe it’s better to pause until proper time and attention can be given to it.

Thank you to everyone who has participated, created, and supported this space. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together.

Updates will be shared here if and when the challenge resumes.

Hello Friends, and Happy Holidays!

This challenge was inspired by the numerous crafters and artists drawn to theme parks’ fandom and artistry. The holidays are celebrated in theme parks worldwide in many different ways, colors and themes. Below are a few trees found at the theme parks during the Christmas celebrations.

This challenge’s theme is anything goes- theme park inspired. It is a monthly challenge, and any craft or art is welcome. For more information, check out our rules.

Here are a couple inspirational projects from Makira.

Your submission may be inspired by any theme park, from any location, season, or era—including imaginative blue-sky concepts. Now it’s your turn, and I’m excited to see your creativity shine!

As you can tell, the verbage is changed this month back to a regular blog post. I thought it would be fun to change it up. Comment down below with your favorite Christmas author, book, or movie for a chance to win the “author” random.org drawing.

My favorite Christmas story is “The Mitten” by Jan Brett.

Makira!

Sparkly pencils, fancy thread
Craft supplies in green and red
Die-cuts packed and paints all straight—
Makers, makers celebrate.

Leave your comments if you dare.

Remember this
October’s here today
Remember this
Halloween is here to play
From California’s charm to Florida’s delight,
We honor Día de los Muertos in music, art, and light.

Remember this
Our inspo lights your day
Remember this
It shows the crafty way
If these skulls don’t spark your muse, there’s still so much to do—
Halloween Horror chills, or Mickey’s magic too.

Remember this
We challenge all month long
Remember this
Join the fun and craft along
So gather paints and paper, or yarn and beads and glue,
Create your theme park magic, and share your dreams come true.

Remember this
To join is how you win
Remember this
It’s easy to begin

Remember this
Our voice has changed it’s tune
Remember this

Until I post the random draws
