This was so much fun!

Me too!

I can imagine how busy things are with the haunt, how exciting!! I can't wait for October, so many super fun plans are coming up.

Oh fun, I love it!

I still can't believe how long that line was.

Thanks so much for watching and commenting it's nice to see you again. I'm so very sorry to hear about the Leukemia, that's awful!! Please keep fighting!!! Sending you lots of hugs and support!!

I LOVED that too! I think the Alice In Chains cosplay is one of my favorites I've done so far.

I love the vendors at this convention, so many wonderful fun things. I can't wait for Halloween, I have some super fun things on the calendar I can't wait to vlog and share in October.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback! I'm still messing around with camera settings and figuring out what's what but I's so excited about the new camera. It's perfect timing too since Shorty's Go Pro won't even turn on anymore...grrr, so she gets my old one...yay!!

I'm so excited, I love this so much...except the lens mode, LOL. I returned that right away.

Thank you so much!!! I noticed that as well! I think I can adjust a camera setting to fix that, I'll play around with it a bunch over the weekend and hope to get that fixed.

I agree! So hard to pick just one favorite. I'm so happy they did this, what an incredible way to celebrate all things Coraline. ♥️

This was a total blast! I enjoyed venturing out and about looking for each cat and I enjoyed visiting parts of the city I don't normally get out to very often. Talk about getting my steps in too!! 😜

I had such a good time doing this, I'm so happy I made it to all of them. Woo hoo!! I'm thinking about making another video here soon going out and collecting some of the rewards I earned from the app.

@@MarieWinton That's a great idea!!

I am so happy Laika Studios put this together, this was such a fun way to celebrate all things Coraline. I loved doing this so much. My favorite was the classic cat and the one at the Rose Garden.

I want to say it took maybe 5 to 6 hours. I did a bunch of walking and hopping on and off the Max train to get around because parking downtown gets expensive and driving downtown can be a bit of a nightmare. I would suggest bringing water, snacks, and wear comfortable shoes. Get the app, it's very helpful with finding each one plus you get rewards from some of them.

@@MarieWinton thank you Marie! I will keep you posted if I make it up there.

That would be awesome!

That's fantastic! Happy early birthday.

@@MarieWinton Thank you🥰

Right, that line was ridiculous!! No way was I going to wait that long. They do make darker poly fil, I've never seen it in store but you can special order it online and it does cost more than the regular stuffing. I need to get better at tighter tension when crocheting with black yarn and not fill the plushies so full which is what caused the stuffing to show through the stiches.

I think they sell t-shirts and other Hello Kitty themed merch besides coffee drinks and pastries, at least the one in Las Vegas did that we visited. That line was too much for me!!! It was a fun day running around getting things done instead of standing in a line for hours, LOL.

Totally ridiculous!! The only lines I'm fine with waiting in are rides at Disneyland and even that is a bit much.

I really enjoy this event, it is such a blast and so neat seeing how creative everyone is.

Same here!! I am so ready for the fall season to get here.

@@MarieWinton i love pumpkin pie too. and caramel apples. yummy🙂

Thank you so much! I love doing this, it's so much fun. I really enjoy seeing people's reactions when they see our creations, it makes all the hard work so worth it. I'm excited for the fall season to get here, I have so many fun plans I can't wait to share.

This has been my all time favorite event I've done so far! I love all the vendors and the event coordinators are just amazing and super nice. Hopefully next year it won't be as hot, but even this year with it being as hot as it was I was surprised at the turn out and people braving the heat to support this awesome spooky little event. Thank you so much! :)

Thank you! It was well worth all the hard work, I am so happy with the sales we made and can't wait to do it again next year. I tried not to get too close to the booths while filming so I could give customers space and also not get stuck in the booth. I would grab the camera and film a little every time I left to go use the restroom or what have you and I wanted to hurry back so I didn't leave Pete alone for too long and have him get stressed otherwise I would of got much closer shots of merchandise. I think the ceramics was Katt Splat, she has amazing stuff! I wouldn't mind getting one of her creepy baby head yarn bowls. Heck yes, Spooky season is here in full swing!! Woo hoo! Now if only the weather would calm down and stop being in the 90's, good grief...ick!!!! LOL

Thank you so much! This event was a total blast, so many amazing things to look at. I'm excited to do it again new year!!

Oh yeah, it is a lot of work but I love it! We had a great event, even with the hot weather. I'm glad I don't do event all the time because that was exhausting!!!

You would really enjoy this event, it gets bigger and better each year!!

Oh nice! October will be a wonderful time to visit Oregon.

Thank you so much! I can't believe how hot it is supposed to be, ugh!! I'm hitting up Target here in a bit to get some Gatorade, and snacks to pack, I will also bring a jug of water. Enjoy hanging out at the pool, that sounds pretty awesome right about now!!! Have a great weekend.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad that Pete will be with me because I would have a panic attack if I had to set all this up at the event by myself. It's going to be such a fun event, except the weather has decided to be 98 degrees tomorrow...ugh!!!!!

@@MarieWinton That's what it's been like here in Tennessee for months now. I'm ready for a break!

Oh ick! I don't do well in the heat. I am sooooo ready for fall season to get here.

I LOVE the fall season, I'm so ready for it!! Halloween is my favorite time of the year. DO you have any fun birthday plans?

@@MarieWinton well not sure but always have dq ice cream cake and and i eat out fast food. this will be the first birthday without my mom and my dad has been gone since 2003. but i have one younger brother and sister they make it fun.🥰

The drive was ridiculous, I've never seen traffic on that drive this bad. I'm so glad we made stops to get out and take a break, eat lunch, etc... We should of stayed another night and drove home early the next morning. The sunset was amazing, I'm very happy we got to see that and coming home to sleep in our own bed was so nice after being gone for a week.

Yeah, that drive was ridiculous. It more than doubled the time it normally should have taken. We were originally going to stay another night and drive back the next morning but we were excited to get back home.

Thanks! I really enjoyed all the places we went, it was such a fun walk around Seattle and riding the Monorail. Shorty loves her new Sloth, that was one of the first things she went towards when we went in the store and then she went back to it again while we were browsing around so I had to buy it for her.

I'm so happy we got to go wander around Seattle, it's one of my favorite places to visit. Shorty had a great time, I think she really enjoyed meeting other doggo's. I swear my dog is more social than I am, LOL. The weather was perfect!!

Awww, man! Make a day of it, go visit Subpop, have lunch, ride the monorail. It's so much fun!!

@@MarieWinton that would be a fun day

I would highly recommend a week in a suite, that would be so much fun! They have so much to offer with fun activities during the day and night, sadly we didn't get to experience any of them due to the weather. If and when I stay again with Under Canvas I will totally upgrade and get a suite, having your own bathroom would be so much better. Hope you have a wonderful trip in September!!

Yes she is! We have such a strong bond with one another.

@@MarieWinton 🥰💗💗❤

I think Shorty and Shady would really like one another.

Oooh, yay!! Happy birthday!!!!

Thank you so much! I love that I have crafts that I can travel with to keep me busy and also have Shorty to keep me company, she's the best. That botanical garden was so pretty, I really enjoyed all the trails and nature all around and being pet friendly made it even better. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!

This was a really nice walk, Shorty and I had a great time.

I'm very sorry, losing a parent is something you never get over. Sending you big hugs!!!

@@MarieWinton Thank you your right❤

That's very sweet!

@@MarieWinton 🥰🥰

@@MarieWinton ❤

LOL, that is strange! Yeah, I've always had blue eyes. I have worn green, red, and yellow cat eye contacts in the past but never brown. Pete has brown eyes though! Hope you and Matt are doing well, I sure do miss you both!!

Aww, thank you so much! Shorty is a real sweetie, my world would be so empty without her. I'm sure Scott doesn't mind the comments at all, he probably really enjoys them.

@@MarieWinton scott is the sweetest guy i've seen in a longtime.

I could spend all day in places like this. I also use the full size frisbee's with paper plates when we picnic outside just to give the plate a more sturdy base. I'm loving the Shorty cam clips more and more, the harness with the magnet in the pocket thing we rigged up works perfect for her. I can't wait for cooler weather so Shorty and I can get out and do more with her Go Pro.

Me too! I love places like that, if I would have had more time I would of sat for hours just soaking up the nature around me and maybe read a book or work on some crocheting.
