Mickey Mouse Shaped Thanks Card

Created this Clean and Simple (CAS)
Mickey Mouse Thanks Card using the
Cricut Disney Mickey & Friends cartridge
and Gypsy to make a shaped card.

Some of you may know that I worked
for the Mouse as in Mickey Mouse at
Disney World in FL thru high school
and college in the 1970s. I started
working in what was Borden's (is now
a different brand of ice cream I believe)
Ice Cream Shop at the end of Main
Street before you got to the Castle and
later in the Silversmith Shop in Liberty
Square. Working in the Ice Cream Shop
was hard because working in any foods
area was not easy when it came to
closing & cleanup. Enjoyed working in both
but liked the Silversmith Shop better even
though we had to polish the silver often.
You can see my name tags in the photos.
We were allowed to keep the name tags
only if they issued a new style so over the
years I worked there I was able to keep all
3 that I was given.
