Hey. Good morning. 🌄 You said on your instagram that you make disney style portraits so can we see some of them? Ty! I love disney too 😄🤗😊

Good morning, sweetheart. Yes you can! Here are just a few I did last year, out of boredom. The best part of doing Disney art portraits is that half of them are modeled after real people, I think that's what keeps it interesting for me cause I don't like making characters that look alike. The last two are the same person, though.

(I kinda screwed up Esmeralda's eyes, oops)❣️

Now, to the art:

Just found your page. I really like the stuff you post. You seem like a unique individual. That’s all. Hope you’re having a joyful day.

Hey! Welcome to the cozy eccentric side! I'm glad you enjoy my content & I appreciate the kind words! I hope you're having a great day as well, stay healthy & happy holidays! ❤️☺️

Good morning, early birds! And if you're not an early bird then that must make you a night owl. Either way, good morning and good afternoon and evening to all!

I wanna show you guys some behind the scenes things around the factory, one of my personal favorite festive rooms!

Let's take a peek inside the Winter Wonderland room, shall we? This is where myself and the Oompa Loompas have our winter parties and Secret Santa giveaways!

~WINTER WONDERLAND~

This beautiful area completely changes in decor every month with transformations in amazing landscaping, water features, suspended decor from the ceiling and awe-inspiring scenes throughout. But during the holiday season is when I believe it becomes the most gorgeous. With the large glass dome atop the area, you get fantastic scenery sightings inside during the day and the area is provided with wonderful lighting for nighttime viewing as well. Because we all know that nighttime is when everything beautiful sparkles. ✨

This 8 foot long train travels around the huge Christmas tree and is surrounded by hundreds of multi-colored Poinsettias. In one of the train cars, a digital camera faces forward and can see what the train sees as it travels around the track on a nearby television monitor! One of my trusty tech Oompa Loompas thought the camera would be a magnificent addition and I couldn't agree more! Isn't that genius?

Every month, you'll have a different theme from huge flower pots and fields of daisies during the spring to an amazing Asian theme during the Chinese New Year. Any time you are fortunate enough to stop by the factory, should Covid ever go away, you will be astounded at the beauty and creativity of this unique attraction! Let's not forget the beautiful rocking horse to the left, that does indeed work! Also, this is one of our tallest Christmas trees in the factory, although it may not look tall on camera, it's actually standing close to 24 feet! That's like six Oompa Loompas stacked on top of each other, ha.

These are leafless white Christmas trees, added decor to balance out the color scheme. We were going for a snowy and colorfully-bright Santa's Workshop North Pole theme. Though half of the Oompa Loompas wanted the theme to be Polar Express, with nothing but faux snow made from powdered sugar, elves and trains everywhere. But who knows? Maybe this year we'll vote again on themes or infuse the two!

This cute Polar bear is a remote controlled animatronic that was designed specifically for the Oompa Loompas to ride around the factory on. One of their most adorable ideas to date, in my opinion.

And what would a factory be without reindeer? This is a favorite statue of mine, it was a Rudolph model but unfortunately the glowing red nose had to be removed due to overheating, which started a small fire.

Oversized ornaments for an oversized tree, nothing more.

Ah, the Nutcracker! Yes, I almost forgot. This design was requested by Santa himself (yes, Santa is real, do NOT debate me) as he and Mrs. Clause love to visit the factory during Christmas time and feast with us. It's a joyous time, really. And we make sure to put it out for them every year.

~•••~

And that, people, brings us to the end of our little virtual tour! Unless I forgot something? Nope, I don't think I did. I hope you enjoyed! I must say, this has to be one of the most fun and cozy places in the factory, mostly because we spend so much time changing and decorating it throughout the year! And Christmas happens to be my favorite time of the year. Should I ever open my factory to the public again it's definitely one of the rooms I'll include in the next tour! Maybe I'll even do a Christmas tour and show off all the beautiful decorations in the factory.

But til then, see ya on the flip side!

Good morning, honeydews! Wake up, the sun is here to welcome you! ☺️

I wanna show you guys something cool going inside the factory today.

Our new Smart Camera System:

A system that automatically locks down the entire factory, controls everything like thermostats, lights, door-locks, alarm arming, and more all in one app from the convenience of this very room. Our alarm system can do all of that and dispatch police, fire, and medical emergency!

LOW VOLTAGE PRE CONSTRUCTION WIRING -

Surround sound wiring and speakers, television cable, and security pre-wires are as well. Every camera you're seeing here is a little peek into what's going on in every single room. From Dessert Island to the Nut Sorting room. These tunnels lead to different cameras, there are a total of exactly 409 cameras.

And from there is the Input Output room. This is the core of the factory, the mitochondria, the power plant. It balances the amount of energy used throughout the factory into each room. Energy balance is based on a fundamental thermodynamic principle that energy cannot be destroyed, and can only be gained, lost, or stored by an organism. In this case, the factory. Input​ being amount of energy put into a system, and output​ refers to the amount of energy that comes out. A system or device may change the type of energy, but not the amount. For example, a light bulb's input energy is the form of electrical energy, and its output energy is in the form of light and heat. However, the total amount of useful energy output of an isolated system is never equal to the total energy input. Yeah. This is because some of the input energy will be lost as dispersed heat as it is processed. That being said, there will always be energy lost to the surroundings and energy lost due to friction. Which is why we have more than just one of these power plants.

I'm so proud of the new upgrade, I just had to share it, ha. Beautiful, isn't it?

That's all for now. More to come soon!

Til then.

Four more days until your wedding!!! Omg are you scared or excited??? :D

One more! Both. So nervous though, but the good butterflies kind. I'm such a hopeless romantic, I know once I see her walk down that aisle in her dress I'm gonna cry like a baby. I'm tearing up just typing this believe it or not, lol. I'm gonna be a husband. That's so crazy. 😲🙊

Can we see more wonka articles I love reading about your life!! :3

Of course you can! 😁 Here:

These are old, headlines for the opening of my factory to be precise! And if you can quite make out the Fortune magazine font it says, "The Most Successful Chocolatier in the World Opens the Gates of the Largest Chocolate Factory Ever Built".

~•••~

This is another article that goes along with the same date as the other. Grand opening of my factory, blah blah blah. Me cutting the ribbon. Fun stuff!

~•••~

And of course, this is an old one that I had posted once before in regards to a question about my awfully exaggerating 15-year disappearance:

~•••~

There are quite a few more good reads that I'm sure I could manage to dig up somewhere inside this factory. I'll post them sometime, eventually.

🍄🍂 Hey! Happy fall! 🍂🍄

I have a youtube request: the lavender scented candles you did in the summer, do you think you could do some fall candles from scratch too? I like how you infuse the real ingredients like with the lavender candle, the real lavender flowers in the candle. Can you do an apple scented candle with some of the apples from your garden? And some fall cooking would be appreciated! 😊😊 I need new recipes to impress my family for TG, lmao!! 🦃🦃

✨🎃 Happy Fall, Rose! 🎃✨

Just put up a recipe video yesterday making a mocha frappe, apple cider donuts & buffalo ranch chicken & cheese nachos. As fall progresses I will be making more fall themed cooking/baking, foraging, shopping & home decor vids. I'll be making pumpkin spice bread & beef stew in the next one. & I'll do your candle request soon! I'll probably make it an apple cinnamon candle. ☺️✨🍁

Do you guys know that movie where a group of people go to a nightclub called Vortex & they get sucked into the nightlife, then they want to leave but the music keeps them trapped & they end up dancing for eternity on loop against their will & they can't die, it's like symbolic for hell?

That's what being on Tumblr is like. I'm trapped. It's hell. I tried to get out but shit I'm already here, so let's boogie down, down, down. 🎵 🎶🕺

That isn't a real movie, btw. I totally lied, I'm sorry. Lol.
