Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m here to share three fun March adventures with you. I’m happy to say that I made it to the Dollar Tree this month I don’t get to go as often as I would like to so it was a highlight for sure. I got some great items there that I’m excited to tell you about so let’s get to it.

03/23/25 – On this day I went to Monterey . My mom and I explored the Colton Hall museum. It it free to go to and It is an interesting place as well. I bought some post cards here. I love the bear statues outside. While in Monterey we also got lunch and salt water taffy.

This was the day I went to the Dollar Tree. I needed a reward for completing my taxes. Taxes always stress me out. I was very happy to go to the Dollar Tree after the stress of doing my taxes. I was excited to see the seasonal items. I got some Easter Craft Kits and a set of Easter rings. I love the ring set ,it is just so cute. Other Items I bought on this shopping trip include Two Lisa Frank coloring books, a Barbie coloring book, stickers, a notebook that comes with stickers, Barbie socks, surprise toys and Squishmallow toothpaste. I had a fun time going to the Dollar tree and I’m excited for my next trip there!

On this day I did a Target pick-up order. I got a bunch of different items but my favorite items that I got were bath bombs with prizes, a bunch of Easter stickers, two craft kits and two surprise toys. I love doing pick-up orders at Target. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for reading about some of my adventures!

Painting bunnies, another book store adventure and a beautiful walk

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, My bucket list friends ! I’m here with another post about some of my everyday adventures so let’s get to the fun!

Painting bunnies art kit – I got this art kit at Target when I did a Target pick-up order. This art kit was a simple one where you paint three wooden bunnies. I really enjoyed doing this art kit. I loved painting dots on the bunnies . They turned out super cute! I love art kits like this and I highly recommend getting a wooden painting kit from Target. They come out with new ones during different seasons and they are also very affordable.

Another visit to my new favorite book store and a walk – Lately on one of my days off I have been going to this local used book store. The book store has good prices and they are get new books every week. During this trip to the book store I got a hidden pictures activity book that came with stickers. I got a few different books including a mystery book that I’ve already started reading. After visiting the book store my mom and I went for a walk it was a beautiful day and I really enjoyed being out in the sunshine. It was an enjoyable day off.

Thank you for reading about some of my everyday adventures !

A party for no reason and the Bay Area Travel show

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends, I’m excited to tell you about two fun things I did last weekend. I know that I still have not crossed off any list items this year , yet this summer will be a different story . With all that being said, now let’s get to it.

3/15/ 2025

A party for no reason – Part of me likes working on Saturdays because that means I get to have a weekday off and I like having weekdays off because things are less crowed and and its easier to do what I need to do on the weekdays. However, on the 15th, I felt like my coworkers and I could use a party since we were having to work on a day that most people had off. Even though most of us who were there work every Saturday. I just felt like we needed a party. I ordered pizza and cake to be delivered. I also ordered some stickers and a bath bomb for myself. Oh, and I got these super cute bunny plates. I had a great time having a party for no reason with my coworkers. I hope I get the urge to do this again sometime.

3/16/2025 – On this day, my mom and I went to the Bay Area Travel show. I had a great time when I went last year. I even got to ask the host of the Amazing Race a question. This year, I did not know any of the speakers. We spent our time at the travel show exploring the different booths. I plan to add some more items to my list next month, and the booths at the Travel Show provided some great inspiration. The booth at the Travel show handed out different items such as stickers, lip balm, and pens. One booth even had shoe charms. We ate lunch at the show, and we got to see some dancers perform. One more highlight of the show was that I got to see a giant bunny. He was so cute and soft! I had a good time at this show, and I hope to go back next year.

local shopping , a Target trip, and a Barbie Easter bundle

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! It is so crazy how fast this month is going by and as always I feel like I don’t have a enough time to blog but as always I will make time. I recently had a day off where I went to a book store and I went to Target. Also I recently visited my favorite local thrift store. I can’t wait to tell you about all this and more so let’s get to it.

Thrift store and toy store

3/11/25- On this day, I left the house early, and I went into town. First, I went to my favorite local thrift store.  I got a few cool things like a Squishmallow and a hat that looks really good on me. I also got these really cool snap-on dots that you can put on your clothes. After getting coffee, I went to the toy store where I got a squishy toy and a sheet of surfboard stickers.

Book store and Target

3/12/25- I had this day off. It was a rainy day, but I still made the most of it. After getting  coffee, I went to my new favorite book store . All the books are 1 or 2 dollars. I got some books from the city spies series, a book about arts and craft projects, and my favorite book that I got from this book store trip was a Barbie book that came with a bunch of cute stickers and a poster! After the book store I went to Target.  I had an order to pick up there, but I also stopped by the dollar spot where I got some cute things, including spring themed duck toys! In my pick-up order, I got some regular everyday items that I needed, but I also got some fun items like bath bombs with prizes and an art kit. However, my favorite item I got was the golden egg hunt by Nee Doh . This egg hunt is an advent calendar style box that has a squishy toy behind each door. The goal is to find the squishy golden egg. It did not take me too long to find the gold egg, but my favorite squishy toy in this box is a squishy butterfly ring. I highly recommend getting the golden egg hunt if you love squishy toys!

Barbie Easter bundle

3/14/25

As soon as Valentine’s Day was over, stores began to put out their Easter items.  As soon as I saw this Barbie Easter bundle at Safeway, I knew I really wanted it, but it wasn’t exactly cheap. After having my eye on it for a while, I decided to buy it. It was on sale, after all. I’m happy I decided to buy it and yes, it comes with stickers.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for reading about some of my March adventures.

A Hello Kitty art kit and lots of Easter items

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I know that we are in March now, but I wanted to write about some more February adventures before I move on to writing about March. I’m excited to tell you about an art kit that I did in February. With that being said, let’s get to it .

Hello Kitty art kit

2/26/2025

This was the day I went to the mall. I wrote all about this in my previous blog post, but I didn’t mention that before I went to the mall, I painted a very cute Hello Kitty statue. I got this art kit at my work. It came with the statue, paint, a paint brush, and pink rhinestones. I enjoyed doing this art kit. I find painting to be very relaxing. My favorite part of this art kit was painting and decorating Hello Kitty’s bow. I got another art kit like this one where you paint one of Hello Kitty’s friends. I recommend getting this art kit if you see it.

buying Easter items – It is not a secret that seasonal items become available months before the holiday that they are intended for. As soon as Valentines Day ended, Easter items became available at many different stores, including the store I work at. When it comes to seasonal items. It is best to buy them as soon as possible because when the holiday approaches, the items tend to sell quickly even after the items have been available for a month or more. In the case of Easter, it is happening later in the month of April. The Easter items began to be displayed in February in several different stores. I got some very cute Easter items at my work and at Safeway. I love bunnies and the other animals that are associated with Easter. I’ve gotten some items that feature these animals. I also love the surprise Barbie eggs that I got a Safeway. I also got easter themed gel clings, stickers, toys, and stamps. I look forward to celebrating Easter in April.

Thank you for reading !
