It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a park-loving fan in possession of creativity and inspiration, must be in want of making.

My dear crafters, you must know that our challenge is open to all that might stir the imagination, inspired by or connected to the allure of a theme park.

“Which do you mean?” said Makira, turning round to cast a momentary glance at Eden. Then, with a smile, she added, “All parks are tolerable, but for this occasion, we shall tempt our players with images inspired by the sweetest of days—Valentine’s Day.”

Our talented designers set to work with great enthusiasm. Their lively and playful imaginations found delight in all things crafty, and the month passed most pleasantly for our design team. Should you find yourself admiring their work, we humbly request that you pay a visit to their profiles and bestow upon them your kind and gracious comments.

Oh! My dear crafters, what a most delightful month we have before us, and we do so hope you shall join in. Fetch your art and craft supplies, and create something truly beautiful. Just think, my dear friends—how very charming it is to know that you may join not once but as often as you like! Pray, partake through the Inlinks below or on Instagram @parkhoppingmyhappyplace.

I am quite delighted with how our words have transformed. They are excessively elegant! And possesses the style of a most charming wordsmith. I dare say, can you deduce who? This, indeed, is just what a true crafter ought to do—scribble down your guess below! What a delightful pastime, and with such a splendid prize for one fortunate soul!

We wish all crafters the very best of success with all our hearts; and should you join us on the morrow, we shall eagerly await your makes.

And Makira and Eden were both ever sensible of the deepest gratitude towards those who, by joining them in the realm of creativity, had united them in this most delightful challenge.

Hint: The book this is styled after is celebrating it’s 212th birthday this year.

So no one told you crafting was going to be this way.
Creative block, you’re stuck, you craft life’s DOA,
It’s like you’re glue stick is running out of cheer.
When your stamps won’t stick, your papers just flip, and creativity’s nowhere near.

But, I’ll be there for you, when the ink starts to run.
I’ll be here for you, like Mr. Mic, Mary, and more.
I’ll be there for you, ’cause you’re art inspires me too.

We’re hopping to a park, the one where you can eat.
Parque del Cafe today, where coffee’s a real treat.

Our designers have made pieces just for you,
Should they help make your day, your week, your month, or bring you some cheer?

Please be there for them when the comments are poor.
Leave your love for their work, just like you did before.
Share some kind words, ‘cause they inspire us too!

No one can park hop with me, no one can craft beside me,
Seems like sharing your art with us here is the best way to be.
Someone to share your make with, share it through all the month with,
Someone to join the fun with, share in InLinkz, or Instagram.

ohhh….YEAH (imagine music here)

It’s like our words have taken a new steer,
When you make your guess today, this week, this month, just write it down here.

And, I’ll be here for you, when the ink starts to run.
I’ll be here for you, like Mr. Mic, Mary, and more.
I’ll be here for you, ’cause you’re art inspires me too.

‘Twas the night of grand greetings, dear park-loving friends,
As we gather once more, where creativity blends.
How joyous it is, to see you all back,
For a month full of wonders that nothing shall lack.

This challenge we bring, a call to your art,
Let theme parks inspire each piece from your heart.
What fun it shall be, with imaginations set free,
To craft what you love, be it wild or serene.

To theme parks worldwide, we now make our way,
Where Christmas is found and brightens the day.
With holiday cheer and festivities around,
A red and white canvas on which joy is found.

Our designers have worked, with hearts full of cheer,
Creating grand marvels to bring you good cheer.
If their works touch your heart, as they have touched ours,
Do visit their profiles and shower them with flowers.

In this fortunate time, we’re blessed with fair Eden,
Who’s crafted not one, but two works this season.
As both artist and guest, she shines so bright,
Her gifts to our world, a most wondrous light.

So come, all ye crafters, with tools at the ready,
Create something magical, be it bold or be it steady.
Share what you make, let your talents be known,
Through Inlinkz below, or on Instagram shown.

Oh, the thrill of it all, as we wait with delight,
To see what you’ll craft in the glow of this night.
And should you need guidance, a spark to ignite,
Our inspiration page stands ready, shining bright.

But wait, here’s a twist, a puzzle for you,
These words have been spun with a style to construe.
Can you guess who inspired this playful rhyme?
Write down your answer, there’s a prize for your time.

So may the magic of parks you hold dear,
Fill you with joy and creative cheer.
Let your artistry sparkle, let your works shine,
For the world is made brighter by your design.

Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Makira

Once, there was a crafter named Makira who wanted her new crafting bog to be inspired by theme parks.

When you visit our blog, first we will inspire you with a monthly inspiration board, but then we will welcome any theme park inspiration you choose.

In the frosty embrace of winter, theme parks transform beneath blankets of snow. Some shutter their gates entirely, while others embrace the icy season, opening their doors to a whimsical wonderland of snowy adventures. ❄️🧤❄️

So, off went our designers. It wasn’t long before they created a small collection of wonders to spark your imagination. Should their creations captivate your heart as they have ours, we kindly request that you pay a visit to their profiles and sprinkle them with your lovely comments.

Next, a creator hopped over, brimming with excitement. Having spent the day looking for creative inspiration, he decided to join in the fun. Makira and Eden welcomed him warmly, guiding him to link his creation to the challenge. Simply add a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post, or share your masterpiece on Instagram tagging us @parkhoppingmyhappyplace.

Up through the midst of browsing the challenge, a crafter appeared. She eyed our challenge and began to search for more inspiration. Makira and Eden were pleased and directed her to our inspiration page for help.

On our way to another month of fun, the verbal style of the blog once again has transformed. It is a loved wordsmith illustrated among our makes. Can you guess who?

On her way to the craft room, Eden saw an odd shape in the distance. It was a new arrival of craft supplies sihouetted against the hallway mirror. As she excitedly approached UPS’s new “gift,” she saw Makira around the corner. She looked to see if Eden was ok and then saw the new delivery.

Eden went back to the craft room, with joy and enthusiasm, just as before, and Makira went along with her. Happy crafting!

Halloween is coming, Great Crafters! Oh, I love this time of year.

This challenge is open to anything that sparks your imagination and is inspired by or related to a theme park.

If anyone had told me I’d be spending Halloween night surrounded by enthusiastic Disney adults, I’d have said they were absolutely right.

This month, we’re soaking up the sunshine in Orlando, FL, USA, and attending Magic Kingdom’s enchanting Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Come on, let’s get going. It’s time for the design team creations. Just look. Nothing but wonders as far as the eye can see. Oh, Great Crafters, you’ll have to leave comments for us! Yes, that’s the way. Thank you, oh, Great Ones!

This month is a big month! All you have to do is step into your craft room, create something magical, and share it. And yes, it’s totally legal! Share your creation by adding a link in the Inlinkz located at the bottom of this post, or grace Instagram with your masterpiece and tag us @parkhoppingmyhappyplace.

What’s the cure for creative block? A chocolate-cream and our inspiration page.

By the way, what happened to the writing in this post? Oh, it was transformed to mimic the style of a noted pumpkin story. Have you noticed? This is the time of the month to write down your guess below.

Just wait and see! Theme park inspiration is real! I’ll find enchanting artistry to serve as a wellspring of inspiration! The great crafters will post their links and I’ll be waiting for them!

Farewell, farewell, farewell! Thanks for everything!

Makira!
