After Oxnard but before Idaho

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m excited to continue to catch up with my posts about last year. I’m actually already planning this years summer adventures and looking back on some of last years summer adventures is giving me some inspiration for this year’s summer bucket list game. In this post I will write about a few days in August in-between to trips. With all that being said let’s get to it.

August 7th 2025 – On this day I went to work but before work I went to Starbucks to get a refreshing drink. At work I got two super cute Squishmallow clips. This was a simple but great summer day.

August 8th 2025 – On this day I did a fun summer art project. I got this summer sticker art kit from Amazon and today was the day that I decided to make a fun summer sticker picture. I love the way that my sticker picture looked it was the prefect summer art project.

August 9th – On this day I went to lunch with family before going to work. On my lunch break I went to Safeway where I got stickers! I was so excited when I saw these super cute dog and cat stickers. It was overall a great summer day.

August 10th – On this day I went to Trader Joes . I got some fun summer stickers and a coloring page. I was so happy to get a bunch of summer stickers. I also made s’mores that night. It was another good summer day.

Thank you for reading!

Midnight monster truck painting

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! In my previous post, I forgot to mention an art project that I did on July 7th. I probably missed the pictures when I was looking back because I decided to do this art project shortly after midnight. With all that being said, I’m excited to tell you more about this art project, so let’s get to it!

Monster truck art kit – I love art kits. I got this one from Target. Target is a great place to get inexpensive art kits. This one was a simple painting art kit. That came with a wooden monster truck, two paint brushes, and a few small containers of paint. I chose to paint my monster truck orange and blue because those are the Mets colors. However, I also used green. I added dots to my monster truck. I really enjoyed doing this project.

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

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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!

Wonderful water bottle art kit !

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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 a lamp !

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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.

Colorful and fun painting art kits

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Earlier this month, I had fun painting two wooden art kits. Both of the kits are originally from Target, but I think I got both of them from thrift stores. The first one I want to talk about was interesting because it was a layered ocean picture made out of wood. To paint this craft kit, you removed different layers of the picture and painted each one, and then you put it back together. I had a lot of fun doing this craft kit. I loved the ocean picture and all the sea animals. when I had finished painting all the different layers, I decided to paint the frame with some colorful dots. I hope to do more craft kits like this in the future. The other craft kit was one where your painted wooden shapes. The kit was made for Christmastime. There were three wooden treats that you painted. My favorite one to paint was the mug of hot chocolate, but I’m happy with they way that all three of the wooden treats looked when I was done painting them. I hope to do more craft kits soon, but things have been very busy lately.

Thank you for reading about my art kit fun!

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

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!

Candle holder art kit fun!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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.
