Bucket list items I crossed off in 2025

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m super excited to write this post about the bucket list items I crossed off last year. Since I’m very behind on my regular posts ,you may not know about some of these items yet but I’m excited to share them with you. In November, I went on a road trip and I crossed off a list item that I’m very happy about. I also crossed off some of my more simple list Items like making a Met’s themed bracelet. With all being said let’s get to it!!

37. Get a tattoo of a starfish – I have wanted to do this for years and this year was the year that I finally did it. While on vacation in Las Vegas, I went to a tattoo shop  that was at the hotel we were staying at. I got a very beautiful and colorful starfish on my leg. It is one of my favorite tattoos that I have!

326. Go to an ice bar – I also crossed off this item while was on vacation in Las Vegas. I went to the minus 5 ice bar. This was a super fun experience that I highly recommend doing if you get the chance. I loved taking pictures here.

336. Make Pinterest worthy chalk art – This was so much fun. In July my friend and I went to a park and made chalk art. I was so happy with the way some of it looked especially the ice cream cone that I drew. I did post it to Pinterest to hopefully inspire others.

351. Get a Philippians 4:13 tattoo – When I got my starfish tattoo in Las Vegas, I got Philippians 4:13 written above it. This is one of my favorite Bible verses and I love having it as a part of my tattoo collection.

341. Get a Cam Squishmallow – Cam is the main squishmallow and I did not have him in my collection so I added it to my list. My friend got it for me when her work had a sale. She sent me a picture asking me I wanted anything that was at the sale. I was so excited when I was Cam in the photo. I asked her to get him for me and she did. It turned out that it was a larger size than I thought . I was so excited when she gave him to me.

355. Paint or draw Cooper – During the summer I drew a very cute picture of my very cute cat Cooper. I found a drawing guide on Pinterest and I followed it but I did struggle a bit to get it the way a wanted however when I was done I was happy with the way it looked. I enjoyed crossing this item off of my list.

357. Go to the Hoover Dam – I also did this while I was on vacation to Las Vegas . I booked a tour with a company called comedy on deck . This was a great choice. The tour bus picked us up and took us on a wonderful adventure. I really enjoyed getting to see the Hoover dam . The tour was amazing and I highly recommend it.

370. Make a Mets inspired bracelet – In 2025 I became a Mets fan. I may be a new fan but I am a true fan. I have a Mets hat and two shirts but I wanted to do something creative to show my love for my team. I had fun making two bracelets with baseball beads and Mets colors.

362. Ride the high roller wheel at night – I also did this during my trip to Las Vegas. I love the high roller wheel but I had only done it during the day before this trip . I really wanted to see all the lights from the wheel and I’m so glad that I did. It was a beautiful view.

358. Take a picture with the 7 magic mountains. – This was also done during my Las Vegas vacation.  This was such an interesting art installation. I’m so glad I got to see it. I had so much fun taking pictures here. I’m so glad I put this on my list.

293. Go to salvation mountain – I crossed off this list item during a road trip in November.  This was one of those items that required travel to an area that is pretty remote.

Thank you for reading about the list items that I crossed off in 2025! I’m excited to see what items I cross off in 2026. I hope all of you have a wonderful 2026.

Love, Christina Epperly

The bucket list item I forgot about!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This does not happen to me often, but I forgot to tell you about an item I crossed off my bucket list! I crossed one of the easier items off of my list, and that list item was to get a pair of jelly shoes! I’m a very nostalgic person, and since these shoes were very common when I was growing up, I wanted to get a pair for nostalgic reasons! I’m pretty sure I had a pair as a kid, and I was excited to have a pair as an adult. I ordered a pair of green jelly sandals from Amazon. Now, these shoes are made for style and not for comfort! They look great, but this is definitely not a shoe to wear when you have a lot of walking to do. However, I do love that I crossed this item off of my bucket list, and I love my green jelly shoes!

Thank you for reading!

Bucket list item 182 make pasta from scratch

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! I’m very happy to say that I’ve crossed off my first bucket list item in 2024! Yesterday, I made pasta from scratch. I do not consider myself to be very talented in the kitchen. I cook with the microwave most of the time. However, It turns out that making pasta from scratch is pretty easy. The main things that I needed were flour and eggs. I went to a grocery store yesterday that I do not normally go to. While I was there I some very cute valentines Day cards and some cupcakes with rings on top. When It came time to make my pasta, I was excited to cross another item off of my bucket list, but I was nervous that something would go wrong since I’m not very talented in the kitchen. However, I’m very happy to say I was able to mix the two ingredients together, let the dough rest, shape the noodles, and then cook them on the stove. I’m very proud of my pasta, and it tastes good, too. I can definitely see myself doing this again.

Bucket list #257 read 50 books in a year!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’ve already mentioned that I crossed read 50 books in a year off of my bucket list . However, I wanted to highlight this item in its own post. I started working on this item at the beginning of last year, but as it got closer to the end of the year, I realized I needed to really focus on it if I wanted to cross it off. I bought a bunch of short children’s books to help me with this goal. I’m happy to say that I was able to read enough books to cross this item off of my list! I always feel a sense of accomplishment when I cross an item of my list, and this item was no different . It was a good item to end the year with. I’ve already started working on reading a hundred books, so I can cross it off this year. What books do you plan on reading this year?

Bucket list item in progress!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I have a nasty cold at the moment, but I’m still working on this one list item that I’m determined to cross off. That item is to read 50 books in a year. I’m halfway there. Since I did not keep up with this goal throughout this year. My strategy has been to read very short children’s books. I’m planning to go to my favorite local thrift store again where the books are very low cost and get more short books since I’ve already read the ones that I got there recently. I’ve been keeping track of my progress on good reads. I’m also close to finishing a longer book that I’ve been slowly reading throughout the year. I’m a pretty slow reader, and I get distracted easily, so reading short books seems to be the best way to cross this item off. I’m going to try to cross off read one hundred in a year in 2024. I’m probably gonna stick with this strategy for that list item as well.

Crossing off bucket list number 295 take a typing test!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I finally crossed off another list item and I’m planning to cross off more list items before the year ends! I want to focus on my list more than I have been. This list item was surprisingly fun to cross off. In order to cross it off I did a simple google search for a typing test. I found this awesome website called typing.com It was easy to start taking the tests and to earn certificates. It took me a little while to get a score that I wanted to print. The test was more challenging than I thought it would be but I got really into it I want to continue taking these tests and see how much I can improve. I printed out a certificate that had my best score on it. I want to continue with improving my score but as for now I’m happy that crossed another item off of my list.

Bucket list number 301 tie-dye a plush animal

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends. I’m happy to say that I have crossed another item off of my bucket list! I actually started this item on the last day of August, but because tie- dye has to sit for a while, it was September when I finished it. In order to complete this bucket list item, I ordered a Build a Bear Workshop brand tye -dye kit from eBay. It was pretty easy to use. I do wish that the bear was bigger, but other than that, it was perfect for crossing this fun item off of my bucket list. I’m glad I crossed this item off, and I wonder what item I will cross off next since I don’t have any plans to cross off another item right now.

Highlighting the two items I crossed off my bucket list this month

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friend in my last POST I talked about the two items I crossed off my list this month however I wanted to do a post specifically highlighting them. Here we go!

272 . Eat at the Amy’s drive-through restaurant – I had not planned on crossing this item off my list. It just so happened to be by the gate at the airport on the way to Connecticut. I was very excited when I saw this restaurant because I knew it meant I would be crossing the first item off my bucket list for 2023! I had a breakfast burrito, and it was enjoyable. I also got coffee. There was an Amy’s sticker that came with my order, and I put it in my notebook. This was a tasty item to cross off.

265. Visit the PEZ factory – When we were planning our trip to Connecticut, I knew I had to choose this to be one of my activities. When we got to the Pez visitor’s center, I was very happy to be there. With your admission fee, you get a lanyard and a discount at the store. There is a lot to see here. There are cases and cases full of Pez dispensers. You can also see the Pez factory threw a window. There were activities you could do, including a bingo /scavenger hunt game that you can play. I started playing this game, but I decided not to finish it. One activity that I did complete was taking a Pez quiz on a computer and printing out my certificate. They had a lot of fun items for sale, including Pez dispersers, that you could decorate. I bought the one that looked like a truck, but I have not decorated it yet. I also got some other Pez dispensers, including a bee and an elephant. In addition to the Pez dispensers, I got a Pez visitor’s center magnet and postcards. On the way out, I made a pressed penny in the pressed penny machine. I was a quarter short, but this really nice person gave me one. I had a great time crossing this item off my list.
