First Savers haul of 2021

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends ! On Saturday after work, I decided to go to Savers to see what treasures I could find. My favorite thing to get at Savers is books. Their books are priced really well and they always seem to have a lot of them. When my mom and I got to the store there was a line outside but when we made it in we headed right for the book section. I found nine books this time plus two Barbie dolls and a big bag of beads. My mom also got some books. My favorite thing that I got is a Bennie Baby collector’s book from the 90’s. Overall it was a good thrift shopping trip.

Light Heart book club discussion December 2020

My favorite part of the book – My favorite part of this book was reading the parts about the dogs. I’m easily distracted by dogs even in books!

My least favorite part of the book – In the beginning of the book, Barbie and her sisters were on a plane that had to make an unscheduled landing. That would be a scary situation to be in.

Activity – Snow played a big part in the plot of this story. A fun a simple craft that goes along with this book ,is making paper snowflakes. I did this during blogmas you can read about it HERE.

Barbie color reveal doll

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! In my last post I mentioned that I got my first Barbie color reveal doll on my recent trip to target. Well ,today was the day I decided to see which Barbie mermaid doll was hiding in that tube. Now, I have to admit I was confused as to how this all worked. I looked at the instructions and for some reason I thought you kept the doll in the bag when you put her it water . When I realized that was not right I took the doll out of the bag , I realized the whole point was to wash the dye off the doll to see which one you got. After I got it all figured out , I saw that the mermaid doll thay I got was winter themed with blue and white hair. She also had snowflakes on her top and and blue tail. I liked the accessories she came with especially her necklace. I really like the color reveal dolls and I already want to get another one.

Hello, my bucket list friends ! Yesterday, my friend Amy and I went to Target. One of my favorite places in Target is the Dollar section. When we arrived to that section of the store, I was happy to see all the new items that they had there. The dollar section was packed full of fun things including a lot of Valentine’s day items. Some of my favorite things that I got from the dollar section were a Valentine’s day advent calendar, three craft kits, and animal figures that were dressed up! As we continued our adventure through Target I finally deiced to get a Barbie color reveal doll. I’ve had my eye one these dolls for a while and I can’t wait to reveal which doll I got. Also I can’t finish this post without telling you about the cute socks that I got. I got three pairs one has turtles on it , one has coffer mugs and the other has fuzzy sloths! Needless to say it was a fun shopping trip!

First thrift trip of 2021

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends last month I shared my last thrift shopping trip of 2020 with all of you. Now, It’s time to talk about my first thrift shopping trip of 2021. On January first I went to the same goodwill that I had gone to for my pervious thrift trip. They were having a new years sale so I was curious to see what deals I could find. I went later in the afternoon and I was happy to see that there was not a line outside. There was a good amount of empty shelf space just like the last time I was there. However I still found some great items. Some of my favorite finds from this trip are a picture frame craft kit, a lunch box that has the same pattern has my purse, and a TY beanie baby turtle. I also got a shirt that was originally from Old Navy. I can’t wait to rock it this year!

Thanks for reading.

2020 goals how did I do ?

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends ! In my last post I set my goals for 2021. However I wanted to review my goals for 2020 . Let’s get to it!

2020 goals

Draw at least one picture every week – I didn’t stick to the one drawing a week but I did draw a lot this year . I’ll call this one a win!

listen to audio books for 3 hours each week – I didn’t stick to the weekly rule on this one either. I listened to audio books somewhat but not as much as I would have liked to.

Read two or more books each month – I completed my Good Reads challenge of reading 25 books this year! I’m really happy about this one!

build up my saving accounts – last year wasn’t a great year for that but I have a good feeling about this year.

Hang out with a friend at least once a month – I don’t think this happened every month but I was able to do a few friend hang outs .

Complete the monthly step challenge on Samsung Health each month – I was doing good until July . I’ll see how I do this year.

Thanks for reading !

Hello,my bucket list friends! Happy new year! 2021 is here and that means it’s time to set some new goals. My main focus for this year is to slow down and try to not get caught up in the fast-paced environment that I live in. Cheers to slowing down.

1. Read 50 books . I finished my Goodreads challenge of reading 25 books for 2020. This year I’m going to aim for 50 this year.

2. Take more baths . I useally take showers because they are quicker but baths are much more relaxing.

3. Use 5 new bath bombs! I love bath bombs and I want to discover new ones that I love.

4. Start freelance writing- I love writing and I really want to start writing on different websites.

5. Cross five things off my bucket list ! I crossed nine items of in 2020. I gonna aim for 5 this year!
