Hotel Transylvania 2 Halloween Cubeecraft of Mavis

Mavis is the daughter of Dracula. In Hotel Transylvania, she wanted to see the world and meet the humans. Dracula was totally against this, for reals, and lied to keep her home. It was all working as planned until Johnny, a human, walked into the monster hotel. Needless to say, chaos ensued, followed by a zing, mortal terror and some monster fun.

I am gonna sit this right here so people know beyond this point, there will be [SPOILERS]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Hotel Transylvania 2, Mavis has a baby named Dennis. Her whole view on what is safe, acceptable and right changes to fit her now possibly human son. fearing the hotel may be too dangerous for a little human boy, she leaves to check out California to decide whether or not it would be a great place to raise her son.

While Mavis is caring and worrisome towards her little boy and just wants what’s best for him, she often times seemd like a control freak, or in the words of Dracula, “Coo-Coo.” Really all she wants is what is best for her boy.

Mavis has pale skin (of course, no sunshine allowed), Blue eyes and Black hair. She wears a black dress with black and red striped leggings and red shoes. Her hair is black and curls up in a cute chic design.

This cubeecraft features many of Mavis’s characteristics with her striped leggings, black hair and red shoes. Mavis is free to download, however, I will accept donations. These projects take a long time to create and any amount is much appreciated!

Celebrate National Good Neighbor Day with Cinderella

Cinderella Costume

Back in the 1970s, Becky Mattson of Lakeside, Montana created National Good Neighbor Day. In 1978, the day was made official when United States President Jimmy Carter issued Proclamation 4601:

As our Nation struggles to build friendship among the peoples of this world, we are mindful that the noblest human concern is concern for others. Understanding, love, and respect build cohesive families and communities. The same bonds cement our Nation, and the nations of the world. For most of us, this sense of community is nurtured and expressed in our neighborhoods where we give each other an opportunity to share and feel part of a larger family.

In recognition of the importance of fostering compassion and respect in ourselves for our neighbors, the Congress has requested the proclamation of September 24, 1978, as National Good Neighbor Day (S.J. Res. 133).

Now, Therefore, I, Jimmy Carter, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Sunday, September 24, 1978, as National Good Neighbor Day. I call upon the people of the United States and interested groups and organizations to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third. (www.presidency.ucsb.edu

In 2003, the date was changed from the fourth Sunday in September to September 28th.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


With this month marking National Courtesy Month, What better way to recognize National Good Neighbor Day then by sharing Cinderella’s statement of “Have Courage and be Kind.” Share your words of kindness to your fellow neighbors here —> www.cinderellakindness.com for the Million Words of Kindness Campaign. One kind word can make all the difference in the world!

In the movie, Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother (played by Helena Bonham Carter) demonstrated her act of kindness by blessing kind-hearted Cinderella with a beautiful gown. In honor of the generous gestures, we have some concept art sketches from Costume Designer Sandy Powell and a bonus clip that touches upon the costumes from the film that we’d love to share with you. Cinderella is now available on Blu-ray, Disney Movies Anywhere and Digital HD.

Bonus Clip: Costumes

Princess Palace Pets Coloring Page of Honeycake

Honeycake Princess Palace Pet Coloring Page SKGaleana image

When Honeycake isn’t with Snow White, she is digging holes in the royal gardens, actually, Honeycake does that with Snow White as well. If she could, Honeycake would spend all day digging in the dirt, but there’s something she likes even more: gardening with Snow White! Ever since the princess found her digging in the Royal Gardens, the two are always together, and Snow White has found a smart way to use all the holes this funny kitty makes in the ground: she plants new flower seeds in them. This stroke of brilliance allows Honeycake to continue to do what she loves while helping to maintain the royal gardens.

Looks: happy
Loves: digging holes and gardening with Snow White

How Snow White found HoneyCake:
While Snow White was in the royal gardens, Snow White found Honeycake digging holes. Snow White fell in love with her and adopted her. The two are now always together.

Snow White plants flower seeds in the holes Honeycake still makes in the royal gardens, making the garden even more beautiful.

Hotel Transylvania 2 Cubeecraft of Dracula

Dracula is the most feared vampire of all the vampires in existence: pale, sparkling or otherwise. That is, until he became monster conscious. Apparently, Dracula no longer drinks blood but drinks a blood substitute; I am not sure where it comes from or how it is made, but it is human-free.

This friendlier version of Dracula comes from one of the most awesome animated Halloween movies I have seen called Hotel Transylvania; featuring voices from Adam Sandler (Dracula), Andy Samberg (Jonathan), Selena Gomez (Mavis), Kevin James (Frankensteine), Steve Buscemi (Wayne), David Spade (Griffin), CeeLo Green (Murray), Fran Drescher (Eunice) and so many more! Basically a bunch of friends got together and created the ultimate monster movie about love, parenting and the monster-human conundrum. And get this, the first one was such a hit that Hotel Transylvania 2 is coming to theaters Sept 25, 2015!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With a release date for Hotel Transylvania 2 so close to Halloween, I figured my Halloween cubeecrafts for 2015 had to be Hotel Transylvania monsters and maybe a human or two. I mean, come on, the theme was practically handed to me, blah blah blah!

As you may have already figured out, the first cubeecraft in the Halloween Hotel Transylvania theme is Dracula, the leading man himself. You would think owning a hotel would make a man very accepting of change, but Dracula is no mere man. In fact most of the time he is usually against change, until Johnny turns his world upside-down. His overprotective senses when it comes to his daughter are usually stifling and sometimes a little scary. However, when he is relaxed, Dracula can actually have fun flying around on tables or singing and dancing.

Dracula has pale skin (of course, no sunshine allowed), Blue eyes and Black hair. He wears a black cape with a purplish lining, black tuxedo and black shoes. Let’s just say the man is a fan of the color black…or is it the shade black? Whatever it is, he likes it and wears it. His hair is slicked back around his ears finishing off his clean look. He has pointy vampire teeth and a long face (probably to mimic Adam Sandler’s egg shaped head).

This cubeecraft features many of Dracula’s characteristics with a long chin, black hair and collar for the cape. The cape is a little different to attach, but it completes the look. In reality, the cubeecraft doesn’t have to wear the cape. There are scenes where Dracula is seen without it. So basically it is your choice whether Dracula wears the cape or not.

Dracula is free to download, however, I will accept donations. These projects take a long time to create and any amount is much appreciated!

To Build the Cubeecraft:
Dracula has two pages The first page is the head, feet, body and arms of Dracula. The second page is the cape.

Materials needed:
Printer
Card stock
scissors
x-acto knife

To make:
BODY

  1. Cut out each item along the outer black lines (from both pages).
  2. Cut along the white on each tab, the white around the chin and the two white lines at the neck of the body using the x-acto knife
  3. Cut along each red line using the x-acto knife
  4. Fold along each inner solid black line and slide each tab into the slots you created with an x-acto knife to form a cube of the head (the chin should be sticking out…see photo above), body, arms, and feet
  5. Slide the arms through the red slots on either side of the body.
  6. Slide the feet through the red slots at the base of the body.
  7. Slide the now completed body through the red lots of the head.

CAPE

  1. Fold the Cape in Half along the center line so that black is facing out on one side and purple is facing out on the other.
  2. Using an x-acto knife, cut along the white lines. Be sure the cut goes through both sides of the cape.
  3. Attach the cape with the small piece by sliding the tabs through the openings just created and then sliding it into the back of dracula’s body.

COLLAR

  1. Fold along the black lines of the color color side facing out.
  2. Slide the T tab through the space between the body and the head in the back.
  3. Slide the two side tabs through the neck holes made earlier in the body. This should keep the collar in place.

Dracula is now complete. To download the template click the images below and save them to your computer.

    How Aurora found Macaron:
    One day, Aurora was getting ready when she heard some hustle and bustle coming from outside. She opened the window and was amused to see the three good fairies being chased by a cheerful puppy who was trying to catch their glowing trails.

    Aurora immediately joined them and realized that the little one was very interested in the fairies’ magic wands, so she asked them to wave them and make a flower shower fall from the sky. Since then, Aurora and Macaron have enjoyed spending time with Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, watching their gentle spells and trying to learn their magical secrets.
