In honor of our best friends, Todd & Court, who are at Disney World right now for their anniversary/vacation.....I'll tell you a little story......
Once upon a time, 31 years ago to be exact, there was a baby that was going to be born into a wonderful family!! Momma, of this baby, bought an adorable, 'magical' mirror for this baby to be. and back in the day, Momma wasn't sure what she was having (because things were not as high tech as they are now) , and the mirror being primarily baby blue she asked Grandmother (aka MeeMaw) to please paint the mirror the green of baby's bedroom to be.
31 years later, Baby, that turned out to be a girl, is having a baby of her own. Momma (soon to be Grandmother-name yet to be determined), had kept this adorable mirror in storage for all these years..... so several weekends ago, Brother (soon to be Uncle) helped Girl and Momma (soon to be Grandmother) get this mirror out of storage! It had not been seen in so long.....and the green was eye popping! ;) and on inspection, all stated: "Why did MeeMaw paint the eyes green too!?" Well, to answer that question....Husband of girl, found an original picture, of so said mirror, on the Internet.....and the eyes were BLUE back then! MeeMaw was just doing as she was told ....."paint everything that is blue, green!" :)
so, Girl, being as she is, wanted to paint it to match her Baby Boy to be's room.....and make it more like the REAL Disney characters! and she did (with the loan of Grandmother to be's paint)....and her neck hurt for days afterwards.....but was well worth it! :) Girl asked Husband to please Shellac the mirror to keep the paint from chipping......Husband said "IT IS NOT SHELLAC, GIRL! It will be a spray on adhesive" Girl continued to call it Shellac.... :) and when Husband went to the store..... he found SHELLAC!!!!!! Ok, so Girl now knows that it a BRAND name along with being a process also, but IT IS STILL SHELLAC! :)
Now this magical mirror is complete and hanging in Baby B's bedroom already and looking so sweet...... Girl has to say, she is pretty proud of herself (if I do say so myself!) :)
See the process...............
