A trip to the toy store and a sticker suncatcher art kit

Hello, my bucket list friends ! I’ve been in an artsy mood lately. On Saturday I went to one of my local toy stores and I got two art kits , stickers, and a box with three horses in it. Last night I decided to open the sticker suncatcher art kit that I got on Saturday. I loved this art kit! I love using stickers instead of paint to make sun catchers. It is a fun and mess free alternative to paint. This craft kit was very enjoyable and I with there were more kits like this that used stickers instead of paint to make suncatchers because I don’t see kits like this often. One of the sun catchers was shaped like an ice pop the other was shaped like an ice cream cone. The design of the sun catchers made me even more excited for summer then I already am! If you get a chance to do a sticker suncatcher art kit I highly recommend it!

Thank you for reading about this art project!

Wonderful water bottle art kit !

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! I love sharing my fun creative adventures with all of you. Last week, I got an art kit at the thrift store.  This art kit comes with a water bottle and supplies to decorate the water bottle with, and yesterday was the day that I decorated the water bottle. I’m excited to tell you more about it, so let’s get to it!

Water bottle art kit –

This art kit was simple it came with a plane water bottle and colorful tape and shiny stickers to decorate the water bottle with. Wrapping a water bottle with tape was a little more challenging than I thought it would be, and it definitely looks messy in certain places. However, I enjoyed doing this art it and I love my new water bottle. I even took it to work with me yesterday. I think I will carry my new colorful and shiny water bottle with me on some of my upcoming summer adventures! This was a great thrift store find!

Thanks for reading about this creative adventure!

Painting bunnies, another book store adventure and a beautiful walk

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.

Painting a lamp !

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! I bought this really cool craft kit on Amazon . It was a simple painting craft kit, but it was so much fun to do. I can’t wait to tell you more about it some. Let’s get to it!

When I saw this craft kit, I knew I wanted to get it. I do lots of craft kits, but the thing that made me excited about this craft kit was that it was shaped like a cat and that it lights up. After I painted it, I turned the light on, and I loved the way it glowed and made the paint look. I had fun painting this lamp. I find painting to be relaxing, and I would love to do another kit like this sometime.

An advent calendar, lots of toy collecting, and a colorful art project !

Hello, my bucket list friends!!! Happy December! I hope the last month of 2024 finds you well. I’m still working to get caught up with my blog posts. This post will be focused on some of the fun things that I did in November. With all that being said, let’s get to it.

November 3rd – On this day, I went to Trader Joes, and I got an advent calendar. One thing that is really cool about the advent calendar that I got is that it has ornaments that you can cut out on the back. I always get these as soon as they become available because they can get bought up very quickly. I always recommend buying seasonal items as soon as possible. Since I work in retail, I can tell you that seasonal items get put out pretty early, but they don’t all get bought quickly. Seasonal items get bought up close to whenever the holiday day is. While at Trader Joe’s, I also got some free stickers. I went to Safeway on that day, too. I also got stickers there.

November 4th – On this day, I did some at work shopping. I got some very cute squishy cats that came in a pack of three. I also got some surprise toys that are wrapped in fluff that you have to peal off it see your toy. In addition to that, I also got some Christmas items, including fuzzy socks and a bracelet with bells on it.

November 5th – There was more at work shopping for me on this day. I got this really beautiful and festive red and green hair bow. I also got one of the cutest stuffed toys that I have ever seen. It is a flower pot complete with plush flowers and a smile.

November 6th – This should not come as a shock, but on this day, I bought more items at work, including some surprise Squishmallow toys, a squishy bird, and a beauty advent calendar. However, before going to work, I did go to one of my favorite local toy stores. I got a cute Christmas tree pop toy and some surprise toys and stickers. In addition to all this, I also got another surprise toy at Safeway before going to work.

November 9th – On this day, I got to see my friend! It is always a good time to spend time with the wonderful people in your life. I’m so blessed to have some great friends! I also added a new squishmallow to my collection on this day. It is a cute purple cow!

November 10th – I went to Traders Joes, and I got a free coloring page and stickers!

November 11th – More at work shopping! Christmas items were getting put out, and I was buying them as quickly as I could! I love this light-up snowman cup that I got on this day.

November 12th – On this day, I did an art kit that I had been wanting to do for a while. It is a simple painting art kit. In this art kit, you painted a flower. I made my flower very colorful. I had a lot of fun doing this art kit, and I want to focus on doing more of the many art kits that I have.

November 13th – On this day, I got some cute surprise Christmas items that come with squishy toys. I also got a large present squishy toy!

Thanks for reading about some of my November adventures! I have more adventures from this month to share with you!

Crayola garden stake art kit

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!

Two wooden Easter crafts

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!

Sun catcher art kit fun

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday, I bought a bunch of fun things from my work. However, in this blog post, I want to highlight the sun catcher art kit that I got. Well, it’s actually a window art kit because there is another project included in the kit, but I only did the sun catcher part of this kit. I actually still have two more sun catchers left to paint in this kit. I chose to paint three of the very cute sun catchers in this kit. The paint that came with this kit worked really well. I loved the variety of colors that are included. The three sun catchers that I painted looked amazing when I finished painting them. I was very happy with how they turned out. I was happily surprised by the overall quality of this kit. I also really liked that there were suction cups included in the to make it easy to display the sun catchers. This was a great art project to do on my day off. I hope you are having a beautiful week.

Candle holder art kit fun!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday, I got out one of the many art kits that are in my room. This art kit is a little different from the ones that I had done in the past because instead of coloring wood, paper, or foam, I was coloring a ceramic LED candle holder. This kit came with three ceramic markers. The markers did have a strong smell to them, but they worked as expected. I chose to cover my turtle shaped LED candle holder with little dots and marks, but I did fully color the turtle’s head. I enjoyed doing this craft kit, and I would recommend it. It was simple and relaxing, and I wish there were more craft kits like this. I don’t see them very often at all. I got this one at a local toy store, but I’m sure you could easily find them online.

A decoupage art kit and a trip to Target

Hello, my bucket list, friends! While the summer months are pretty jammed packed with adventure, these next few months are pretty slow. However, I’m pretty good at finding things to blog about. Anyways, on Wednesday I had the day off, and I did two fun things. The first thing I want to talk about is the decoupage art kit that I got from The Goodwill in Connecticut. I have had this kit since June, and I have been wanting to use it for a while. I finally used it and I have to say I loved doing decoupage and I want to do it again. The cat that I made with the kit turned out super cute, and I want to do another kit like this one, but I have not seen many of them around. The second thing I did on Wednesday that I wanted to talk about was that I went to Target. One of the main reasons that I wanted to go to Target was to get a new Barbie color reveal doll. When I was at Target, I debated if I should get one or two color reveal dolls.  I decided to get one doll and a Barbie activity kit. Some other fun things I got were two pairs of socks, a pencil pouch, and a bath bomb with a prize inside. I also got two Kinder Joy eggs. The Kiner Joy eggs I got were a part of the National Parks series. I had not seen those kind in a while so I looked and I saw that they were expired. I still wanted the toys that were in them, so I asked for and got a discount on them. After my Target fun, I got coffee before going home. It was a pretty great day off.
