Blogmas day 17 an unexpected thrift shopping adventure

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I didn’t get around to posting yesterday because things have been busy this weekend. However, I’m excited to share this post with you. On Friday, I ended up going thrift shopping. I hadn’t planned on it but I’m happy it happened. My dad and I went on some errands, and my dad ended up going to a store that is right next to my favorite local Goodwill! Of course, I had to go and see what I could find. I started off in one of the toys isles. This Goodwill has two toy isles. Maybe that is why I love it so much. Anyways, the first two things I added to my shopping basket were a small rainbow. Build a Bear plush and a Ty beanie baby bunny. The bunny didn’t have a TY tag on it, but I recognized it as a beanie baby. Seeing it on the self unlocked some old memory of me having that bunny before. I looked at the tag on the bottom of the toy, and I confirmed that it was, in fact, a Ty beanie baby named Carrots. I’m very happy to welcome Carrots the bunny into my collection. On the next toy isle, I saw some Barbie dolls. I ended up getting two Barbie dolls. One of them has this awesome pink dress on, and I think she is from the 90s or 2000s. Also, on that isle, I got a horse toy that came in a box with some other things. In addition to those items, I got a book from a series I enjoy and a play-doh advent calendar. I love how Goodwill gets things from Target. This advent calendar was from Target, and I’m very happy that it was available at a great price. I’m very happy with my thrift shopping haul!

Blogmas day 16 more Walgreens fun!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday after work, I went to Walgreens! Whenever I go to Walgreens, these days I can’t help but stop by the Christmas section. After all, the Christmas section is in the front of the store. This time, I picked up a plastic candy cane full of Reese’s  peanut butter cups and another lollipop that comes with a plush toy. This time, I chose the bear plush. I’m really gonna miss seeing Christmas items at stores when Christmas day has passed. I hope you all are enjoying the Christmas items in your local stores!

Blogmas day 15 an evening shopping trip to Target

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! For today’s blog post, I’m going to talk about my latest Target run! Christmas is approaching fast. Before I know it, I will be writing my Christmas day post. However, for now, I’ll focus on writing this post. Yesterday evening I went to Target. I needed to get some gifts. I really like going to Target and seeing what fun stuff I can find there. Along with the gifts, I also got some stuff for myself. In the dollar section, I got two craft kits. In other areas of the store,I found more items that I decided to bring home with me. I got some Kinder Joy eggs,a pair of cute socks,two peppermint lollipops,and a juice with a toy on top. However,my favorite thing that I got was a Barbie doll. This Barbie doll is different from the regular Barbie dolls that I have. This doll is called my first Barbie. She is larger than most Barbie dolls. She has a really unique look, and I’m very happy to have her in my collection. I was happy with my trip to Target, and after shopping, we got Starbucks at the location inside of Target. I did have fun at Target, but it was pretty crowded. As it gets closer to Christmas, I bet things will get more crowded. I’m glad that I have most of my Christmas shopping done already.

Blogmas day 14 Painting snowflakes

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is time for another blogmas post about an art project. I have only done one post about an art project for blogmas so far, so I decided to do another. I had a cute craft kit that I had got from Target that had three wooden snowflakes that you can paint. One thing that I really liked about this kit was that it came with two paint brushes and a good amount of paint colors. When it came time to paint the snowflakes, I didn’t have much of an idea of how I was going to paint the snowflakes. The first snowflakes I painted the first snowflake really simply. I only used two colors, and I did not do any fancy designs. With the other two snowflakes, I did dots on both. I love painting dots when I do art projects. I love the way all three snowflakes turned out. I wonder what art project I will do next.

Blogmas day 13 fantasy of lights 2022

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Last night, I went to one of my favorite local Christmastime events. I’ve gone to fantasy of lights many times. I have even attended their walk through event before. However, due to crowd sizes, I’ve decided that I like the drive-through better. Last night, after stopping at Panera Bread, my parents and I went to the fantasy of lights drive through. I’m glad I was able to get a ticket because they got bought quickly. At the event, I was reunited with my favorite light displays. Some of my favorites are the ice-skating bears, the dinosaurs, and the penguins. There was also something new this year. They had these beautiful flowers. I loved the new addition to the event. Also, they gave out these cool glasses that caused the lights to take fun shapes when you looked through them.I had a really great time, and I hope to go back next year!

Blogmas day 12, an after church event, a new hair bow, and Trader Joe’s

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday, I attended a fun event at my church after Sunday service. The event was called Christmas around the world. There was food and activities inspired by different countries. I was helping out with the poinsettia pinwheel craft. I made one, and I also decorated an ornament with stickers! In the afternoon, I went into town to do a few things. There were some highlights from my errands in town. At Walgreens, I got this super cute Christmas themed hair bow along is a bunch of skittles in a plastic candy cane. I also got to go to Trader Joe’s. It had been a while since I had been there. I had seen pictures of some of their seasonal treats, and I really wanted to see what seasonal items were at my local store. I ended up getting two seasonal treats from Trader Joe’s. One was a candy cane, and the other was a container of candy cane chocolate covered almonds. The almonds were so good that I would definitely get them again. I haven’t had the candy cane yet, but I have a feeling it will be good. After all that, I got Starbucks! It was a pretty good day.

Blogmas day 11 a craft faire and a coffee shop

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday I went to a local craft faire. I haven’t been to this event in a long time, so I was very excited that I got the chance to go yesterday morning. I was glad that the craft faire was inside because it was a rainy day. There were a lot of different vendors at the craft faire. I was excited when I saw a bunch of cute ornaments. I was even more excited when I found out that you could choose one and have it personalized. I chose a cat and had my name and the year put on it. Another thing that really caught my eye was a bunch of beautiful soaps. I was happy that there was soap that had toys inside. I got one soap that had a cat shaped toy inside and another that had a whale inside. I walked around a little more at the craft faire, and t I got one more item before it was time to leave. I this this very cute owl plush ornament. I have it sitting on the dresser next to my bed, and I love it so much. After the craft faire, we went home for a little bit before I had to go into town for work. I had some time before my shift started, so I spent some time at a nearby coffee shop. It was raining most of the day, so the coffee shop was the perfect place to hang out before work. I got a coffee and a reindeer shaped cookie at the coffee shop. After the coffee shop, I walked to work. Work went well, and after my shift, I went back home and had a nice night in.

Thanks for reading about my Saturday fun!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list, friends! Welcome to the 10th day of blogmas! Yesterday, I went to Starbucks twice, and I also got two fun items at the toy store. I can’t wait to tell you more about it, so let’s get to it. My first trip to Starbucks was before I went to work. I got a sugar cookie almond milk latte. That drink has become one of my go-to Starbucks drinks lately. After that I still had time before work so I decided to go to the toy store. I was planning on getting another play foam pals toy. I didn’t see any at first, but then I saw that they had a few left. I got an orange colored one. I haven’t opened it yet, but I’m excited to see what toy is inside the foam. At the toy store, they were having a sale on advent calendars. They were 40% off. I decided to get this one that had 12 ornaments in it that you color. After the toy store, I went to work. My work day went well, and then I went home. However, when I was close to being home, I realized that I had left my toy store bag at work. I went back to work, and I was happy that I didn’t leave it outside. I had left it on a table inside. After I got my bag. I went to Starbucks again. I want to get my my something to say thank you to my mom for taking me back to work. I also got myself a peppermint mocha and a snowman cookie. It was a good way to end the day.

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Today’s post is very simple. After work yesterday, I went to Whole Foods. I got a few different items, but what I’m most excited to tell you about is the two cinnamon candy canes that I got. I love peppermint, but I also love cinnamon. Whole Foods had a bunch of different flavors of candy canes, but I’m happy that I chose to get two cinnamon ones. I’ve eaten one already, and I will probably have the other soon. I hope all of you are enjoying some treats this month!

Blogmas day 8 a peppermint mocha and a fun Walgreens find!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is time for another blogmas post! Yesterday, I had the day off. I stayed home most of the day, but that evening, I went out to Starbucks, Petco, and Walgreens. I decided to get a peppermint mocha at Starbucks since I had not gotten many of them this year. I really enjoyed my peppermint mocha. After Starbucks, we went to Petco. At Petco, I go to have kittens for adoption. I love going to see the kittens. I got some cute pictures of me with one of the kittens. We had one more stop before going home. We had to get toothpaste at Walgreens. Of course, I had to look at the Christmas items! I was excited that they had these plush toys that came with lollipops. I got the snowman plush. This was really an inexpensive item, and it was a nice surprise to see it at Walgreens.

I hope all are having a great month!
