HappyFamily Ray
What an adorable family the Ray family is. You know, I have created several Disneyland HappyFamily pieces now, but to me, it hasn’t gotten tiring. Not at all. Each family is unique. And each family has a unique experience with it. I LOVE that this husband and wife met and fell in love while working at Disneyland! How SWEET is that! And I LOVE that Angela asked me to put them in their “vintage” work uniforms! That is one of my favorite details about this piece! I also love the baloons, the broom, the FANNY PACK!
Check out their entry:

trevor {dad}:: blue eyes :: blond/brown hair :: 6″1 :: quite possibly the best dad ever. ♥ patient. loving. an CRAZY. he’s never one to deny a restless 2 year old a wrestling match {even after a 12 hour shift} or watch Pippi Longstocking just ONE. MORE. TIME. with big sister. handsome. strong. athletic. all around good guy. I think I’ll keep him. ♥
angela {mom} :: reddish-brown hair :: brown eyes :: 5″7 :: do you want to know the mom i want to be or the mom i am? LOL i try to say yes whenever i can {unless it involves danger or slithering animals in my house} constantly trying to dig myself out of the piles of laundry and toys…..with a smile {most days ♥} in short — sassy with lots of hair and lots of balls in the air. katie {big sister} 6 :: blue eyes like daddy :: blonde hair :: sweet and sassy like her momma….people pleaser like her daddy. ♥ she loves everything girly from tutus and princess dresses to makeup and all things that accessorize. i would love to see her in high bouncy pig tails. ♥ she still wears them quite often….but that trend is changing as she’s “not a {little} girl anymore, mom.” {gasp!} so i would love to capture that part even though most of the pics attached may have her hair down. her favorite treat when we go to disneyland is a mickey shaped ice cream. dylan {little brother} 2 :: brown eyes :: blonde hair….the life of the party, this one is. yet, he’s also known as the {fun killer} around these parts due to his turbulent {for lack of a better word} temperament. ♥ he’s a LOUD and CRAZY |

| The 3 to 5 prominent colors I would like in my piece include (be specific—ie. “royal blue” rather than “blue”, or “light celery green” rather than “green”): * | yellow {more mustardy than sunshine}, tiffany box blue, orange, chocolaty brown, pink {bright and sassy} or red |
| Is there a career path you would like to include in an illustration: | |
| Trevor and I met during college while we were both working at Disneyland. So I was hoping for something Disneyland inspired maybe with us in our Disneyland costumes {now vintage ♥ LOL} surrounded by all that our love has made…..crazy as our life feels sometimes its still full of love and fun. When we first met at Disneyland Trevor was working as a sweeper and I was working in Outdoor Vending selling the old-school Mickey shaped balloons. I would love something with him in his Custodial whites {teal} fanny pack and broom and me in my vintage odv polyester yellows {bell bottoms and all! ♥} | |
| Tell me what you would like to see your family doing (would you like them just sitting all together posing, as if for a picture? Or would you like them to be doing something together). Please supply the most details here: | something fun and full of love..even humorous! maybe trevor and I kissing in front of the castle or small world with dylan on trevor’s shoulders {toting his beloved iguy/ipad}….and katie holding my bunch of mickey shaped balloons???? I don’t know…..I totally trust your vision…….♥ |
| Any other details you might be able to give me that would help ensure your enjoyment of the piece: | I’ve attached a pic what the old-school mickey latex balloons used to look like…but that is NOT me in the pic and we wore the bell bottom pants NOT the skirt…just an FYI.

oh, and tired. but you can leave the bags under my eyes out of the illustration. ♥ let a girl have her dream!
