A March 2024 weekend blog post yay for stickers!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! As many of you know, my work schedule changes every week, so my days off are always changing. I don’t have traditional weekends, but I still think Saturdays and Sundays are enjoyable. This weekend, I happened to have a Saturday off. I hope all of you had a great weekend, even if you had work.

Friday, March 22nd – I had work on this day. I worked the same shift that I have been working  lately. During my break, I bought a sticker activity book. I have been really into stickers lately. I got some other items at work on this day too including two more Good 2 Grow juice tops to add to my collection. If you collect Good 2 Grow juice tops, I highly recommend getting the app.

Saturday, March 23rd – I had this day off, but I had to get up kind of early to go to an appointment in Napa. On the way back, we stopped at Michaels, and I got a bunch of stickers, of course. There was a very large selection of stickers. I was very excited to see some summer stickers. I also got a Barbie Pez dispenser and a wooden painting craft kit. We also picked up lunch at Baja Fresh, which is a very underrated place, in my opinion. There were free Easter pencils there and I was very happy. Later that day we went on a walk. It was an overall good day off.

Sunday, March 24th – I had work on this day, but not until later in the day. Before church, I got coffee. When we went to go get coffee, there was a husky in a car, and I howled, and the dog howled back it was so cute! I wish I had it on video. It was palm Sunday, so we had palm branches decorating the church. After church, there was a lunch, and I ended up staying for a long time. It was good to hang out and talk to people that I don’t normally get to talk to for more than a minute or so. At work, I noticed that there were some good sales on Easter items. I got this singing shark toy that comes with candy. I had been wanting it and I was very happy to see that it was on sale for a good price. I also got a Pez dispenser and a peeps treasure chest that was on sale, too.

Thanks for reading about my weekend! Love, Christina Epperly!

A bunch of random thoughts on a Friday

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

This is another blog post where I just want to write about whatever random thoughts happen to be on my mind, so here we go!

Yesterday, I went to Safeway, and I got some of my favorite things. I know that it may seem weird to some that I highlight my trips to the grocery store, but I enjoy getting out and shopping even when it is just a normal errand. I think that it is important to enjoy the little things in life. Some of my favorite things that I got were my favorite fruit snacks that come with trading cards, two different brands of juice that come with toys, and an egg dyeing kit that comes with stickers! I’ve been more excited about getting stickers lately, even though I’ve bought tons of stickers in my life.

I got more stickers at work on Tuesday. I bought two different items an egg dye kit and a plastic egg that had candy and stickers in it. The egg dye kit that I got on this day was different than the one I got yesterday, but they both came with stickers.

It is supposed to start raining soon……………. I’m not really looking forward to it. I know that rain is important but I have been enjoying the sun.

One of the juice brands that I collect is called good 2 grow and I recently just found out that they have an app where you can download and use it to keep track of your collection and earn badges. If you collect good 2 grow, I recommend using this app.

I’ve been listening to audio books lately, but I haven’t actually been reading much, and I know that I need to get back into that, but audio books seem to be a lot less expensive. When I want to read a specific book, especially a new one, I will get an audio book to save money.

I’ve been getting more pictures printed lately. I have so many photos that are digital, and I think it is a good idea to get them printed. I recently got a bunch of pictures printed from when I was a teenager since most of the pictures that I have from that time are all digital.

Thanks for reading my random thoughts!

Crayola garden stake art kit

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday, I got one of the many art kits from my room. I had the day off, and art is something I love to do on my days off. This art kit was a simple painting art kit. The point of this kit is to paint a wooden garden stake. The kit came with three paint colors, but it also came with a color mixing guide. I did use the guide so I could get more colors. I did enjoy this art kit, and I’m happy with the final results!

Saying hello to spring with a coloring page!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m happy that it is spring now! On Sunday, I got a coloring page while I was at Trader Joe’s, and just so everyone knows, a free coloring page is way better than a mini tote bag. Anyway, I’m excited to show you the picture that I colored. I colored the picture using twist crayons that I recently got at a thrift store. I’m really happy with the way that the picture turned out it is bright, happy, and colorful! I hope all of you have a bright, happy, and colorful spring!

A Target trip ,things I’ve bought at work lately and more!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I wanted to get caught up on my blog posts so I’m going start with this one that is mainly about shopping but I do have some other things I want to discuss that I will put towards the end of this post. Also,I did a fun coloring page, and I will be doing a post about that soon. Without any more delay, let’s get to it!

Saturday’s Target trip – After going to the travel show, I went to Target. I had some coupons clipped on the Target app that I wanted to use. I was happy to see that there was a coupon that I could use for stickers. In the dollar section, I got a confetti crayon, shoe charms, and a water toy. In the Barbie section, I got a cutie reveal pet. In another part of the toy section, I got a kinetic sand toy .I also got a craft kit and, of course, the stickers that I had a coupon for. Oh, I also got a Barbie bath bomb!

Things I bought from work – I love going shopping at my work! I get a good employee discount. On Friday, I got another mini notebook, mechanical pencils, and a craft kit. Sunday was Saint Patrick’s day. I did dress up a little bit for the day. I bought a light up clover necklace at work this day. I also got two Easter toys because there was a sale. I also got a toy that is similar to color reveal toys that was on clearance. Some post-it notes and glitter glue. I love buying items on clearance!

Yesterday, I bought two clearance items at work, and those items are a hot wheels playset and a set of markers. I also got some of my favorite candies that were also on clearance.

Other things I want to talk about!

I may cross another item off of my bucket list soon . It is not a huge item, but it will be exciting to cross off a second list item this year.

I’ve been thinking about adding more items to my bucket list – I had already been thinking about it but since I went to the travel and adventure show I have been more inspired to add more items to my list. If you have any suggestions for list items, I would love to hear them.

Travel and Adventure show 2024

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Saturday I went to the travel and adventure show. It was at a local convention center that I had never been to before. I was excited to go to an event that I had never been to before. However, I was most excited to see Phil Keoghan, who is the host of The Amazing Race. The Amazing Race is one of my favorite TV shows. When my mom and I arrived at the show, we went to where Phil would be speaking. I was happy that we got seats with a good view. It was so cool to be that close to someone that I had seen on TV for years! When his amazing speech was over. The audience got a chance to ask questions. If you asked a question, you got two free shirts. Of course, I had to ask a question. I was not sure what I was gonna ask at first. I had come up with a question in my head while I was waiting for my turn. However, when I got up to the microphone, I decided to ask another question. You can see the video of me asking my question on my Instagram (summerrockstar) or on X (mallstar). The question that I ended up asking was, “What is an item on your bucket list that you have not crossed off yet that you are looking forward to?” Phil said that he wanted to go to space, but he went into detail about how he would say it for the Amazing Race. It was great! After seeing Phil, my mom and I explored the rest of the travel show. There was so much to see. There were many booths. I got so much free stuff, including pens, stickers, and a candle. I also got to learn about places that I had not thought about going to before. Another thing I did was that I got to met some very cute dogs that help to protect our agriculture. If you get a chance to go to a travel show, I highly recommend going.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend ! Love – Christina Epperly

A surprise friend hang out and more happy things!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’ve had some really good days this week, and I hope you did as well. I wanted to share some of the good things that I’ve experienced this week, so let’s get to it.

Monday, March 11th – On this day, I bought some really cool things from work, including a set of gel pens that I have been wanting  to get for a while now. I also got a plush basket that has plush toys in it, a bead kit, some stickers, and juice that has toys on top! Another thing I bought on this day was skin tag removal patches. I have this skin tag by my eye that has been bothering me, so I’m excited to finally get rid of it.

Tuesday,  March 12th – On this day, I had the day off. I didn’t have any plans, but it turned out to be a really great day. My amazing friend called me and asked if I wanted to hang out. I was immediately excited to see her! Our first stop was going to my favorite local thrift store. At first I didn’t find anything but then I saw a bag of stickers for a dollar. After that, I began finding more items, including bags of beads , a teddy bear , a dinosaur toy, and a Barbie doll. After that, my friend and I went to the candy store. This is one of my favorite places to go with my friends. My friend and I also went to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner. This day was truly amazing! I love it when I get to spend a day with a friend.

Wednesday, March 13th – I had work on this day, and of course, I bought something else that I had my eye on at work. A bunny Play-Doh set. I also got two little notebooks that were on sale.

Thursday,  March 14th – Another work day, but I went to Safeway before going to work. I’ve gotten really into using coupons on the Safeway app, and it has saved me a lot of money. I got some of my favorite food items at Safeway, including my favorite fruit snacks that come with trading cards. I also got a large pack of gum that comes in a plastic refillable case. That was something that I had been wanting to get, so I got it when I saw it in the self checkout area. After Safeway, it was time for work. For some reason, work has been very busy this week, and today was no different. I was doing a lot of multi-tasking throughout the day. I bought this headband on my break that I had  been wanting to get. I was gonna get some scented markers that are the same brand that I had when I was a kid, but we were sold out, however I did get a set of colorful pens that were on sale instead. I also got more mini note books.

I hope that your week has been full of happiness!

My little sticker book

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Saturday before work, I bought this sticker set that I had been thinking about getting for a while now. I also bought a mini notebook. I started putting my favorite stickers from the sticker set in the notebook. I had fun making sticker pictures in my new mini notebook. I have not completed my little sticker book yet, but I wanted to share some of the pages with you! I hope this inspires you to be creative!

Love, Christina Epperly

Coloring, free stickers, and other things on my mind

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This is another one of those blog posts where I just put a whole bunch of things together into one big post. Here we go!

I love this art set that I bought at work – I got this super cute coloring art kit at work that comes with stickers and a stencil sheet. I’ve had a lot of fun coloring the pictures with the cute markers that came with the art kit.

The best back scratcher ever has a smiling apple on top . At my work, we have a display of back scratchers, and they are very affordable. I had been looking at it for a while, and recently, I decided to get this one what had a bamboo pattern and smiling apple on top!

I’ve been writing more on vocal media . My dream job is to be a writer, so I’ve been trying to write more on there to help me gain a wider audience. You can read my latest post HERE.

I got some more free stickers at Trader Joe’s on Friday – I love getting free stickers at Trader Joe’s! All you have to do is ask for them at the checkout. I was very excited when I got the stickers at the end of our shopping trip.

I got two fun things at Safeway on Friday . In addition to groceries, I  got a plastic egg that has stickers and more inside of it and a necklace with clovers on it.

I’ve become a coupon lady – when I went to Safeway yesterday, I took my Safeway app with me. I had clipped a bunch of digital coupons, and it saved me a good amount of money. I also used digital coupons at Target the last time I went there. I highly recommend getting the apps of the stores that you shop at and using digital coupons to save you a lot of money.

I love coffee! I mean, that’s all I really have to say about that !

Two wooden Easter crafts

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Saturday, I got some Easter craft kits at Dollar Tree, and I just finished coloring the two wooden craft kits that I got . The first one I colored was a wooden Easter decoration that comes with markers. There were two of the same decorations included in the craft kit, but I just colored one of them. I love the way that the colors popped on the wood. My project looked very bright and colorful when I finished coloring it. The 2nd craft was coloring a Ping-Pong paddle that comes with a ball attached to it. It also came with markers to color it. I love how the basket that is part of the design on the ping-pong paddle has a bow on it. I also love all the flowers. When I was done coloring it, the ping-pong paddle was a bright and beautiful work of art. I love simple craft kits like this, and I’m glad I was able to do two of them today!
