Hello, my bucket list, friends! Christmas is a time of year that seems to create lasting memories. AlsobIt is not a secret that things change when we get older. I wish very much that I could go back and visit my childhood. Since I can’t do that, I decided to make a list of the things I miss about that time. I hope you enjoy this list!

1. Going to be my grandparents’ house on Christmas Eve

2. circling things I wanted in toy catalogs

3. Being in Christmas plays at church

4. Christmas arts and crafts projects at school

5. Getting time off from school

6. Other fun activities at school, like building gingerbread houses and decorating cookies

7. Spending most of Christmas day playing with / enjoying my new gifts

8. Waking up early and being very excited about it

9. Getting things that I couldn’t get for myself (since you have no money when you are a kid)

10. Trying to guess what was in the wrapped presents that had my name on it

11. The pure excitement I felt

12. Dressing up in fun Christmas outfits

being busy and breaktime shopping blogmas day 19

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m really behind on my posts for blogmas, and there is a reason for that. Work has been very busy, and it has been very hard to keep up with a lot of things, including my blog posts, but I’m determined to catch up. The fast pace of work has had me stressed out lately, and it is no secret that I like to shop when I’m stressed. Well, let’s face it. I like to shop anytime. Anyways I’ve been getting some really cool things during my little shopping trips including a Barbie doll, two plush dogs that sing, Lion King toys, surprise squishmellows, another Barbie color reveal doll and, candy. It might not just be the stress that is causing me to shop so much. when you are working in retail, especially at this time of year, there is a lot of shopping going on around you and maybe seeing people buying all kinds of things and also buying lots of things at once has inspired me to shop more. I also got some more Christmas presents for my family. Have you been shopping more this week ?

Two fun Christmas celebrations blogmas day 17

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Overall, December is a very busy month with a lot of events happening! On Sunday, I attended two fun events. The first one was a very yummy potluck after church. Our church also had a beautiful Christmas tree. Later on in the day, I went to the next event a party at my cousin’s house.There was more amazing food, of course, but we also played one of my favorite Christmas games. We did the white elephant gift exchange game. I always have fun playing this game, but I really loved it this time because I got two Squishmallows! I had a really great day spending time with family and friends!

Coloring a wooden snowman! Blogmas day 16

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m here with a fun blog post about a simple coloring craft kit. These kind of craft kits are my favorites because they are easy to do and they are relaxing. I did this one right before I went to bed. I got this particular craft kit from the Dollar Tree. It came with a wooden snowman and markers to color him with. I like how the snowman is holding a bird. I decided to make the snowman’s scarf and the bird red and green to make this craft more festive! I mainly used the blue marker because the body and face of the snowman were the largest areas that I needed to color. I colored the hat green. I like that he has a top hat it reminds me of Alice Cooper. I love simple craft kits like this the most!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This is just a quick post to show you some pictures of my family’s Christmas tree is year! We have been using an artificial tree for a while now, and honestly, I like it better than using a real tree. We have so many ornaments, and there are still some that I have not put on the tree yet.

Christmas themed items from work and a sale on Tic Tacs blogmas day two

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends, and happy 2nd day of December! For this post, I’m going to tell you about some Christmas themed items I got at work yesterday. The first one that comes to mind is a Christmas themed puzzle cube toy that I got. I’m not very good at doing these, but I do like the Christmas themed pictures on it. I also went to this stand of seasonal items in the beauty department. I got a few items from there, including hair ties. One set of hair ties I got comes in a little ornament, and the other is on a display shaped like a lollipop. Another item I got from there was lotion. I also got a Christmas themed word search book! That was the thing that I was most excited about. Other things I got yesterday were a compact hair brush and socks with snowman faces on them. On top of all that I got some Tic Tacs on sale for a very good price. It was a good shopping day.

Blogmas day 14 Painting snowflakes

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is time for another blogmas post about an art project. I have only done one post about an art project for blogmas so far, so I decided to do another. I had a cute craft kit that I had got from Target that had three wooden snowflakes that you can paint. One thing that I really liked about this kit was that it came with two paint brushes and a good amount of paint colors. When it came time to paint the snowflakes, I didn’t have much of an idea of how I was going to paint the snowflakes. The first snowflakes I painted the first snowflake really simply. I only used two colors, and I did not do any fancy designs. With the other two snowflakes, I did dots on both. I love painting dots when I do art projects. I love the way all three snowflakes turned out. I wonder what art project I will do next.

Blogmas day 13 fantasy of lights 2022

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Last night, I went to one of my favorite local Christmastime events. I’ve gone to fantasy of lights many times. I have even attended their walk through event before. However, due to crowd sizes, I’ve decided that I like the drive-through better. Last night, after stopping at Panera Bread, my parents and I went to the fantasy of lights drive through. I’m glad I was able to get a ticket because they got bought quickly. At the event, I was reunited with my favorite light displays. Some of my favorites are the ice-skating bears, the dinosaurs, and the penguins. There was also something new this year. They had these beautiful flowers. I loved the new addition to the event. Also, they gave out these cool glasses that caused the lights to take fun shapes when you looked through them.I had a really great time, and I hope to go back next year!

Blogmas day 10 Two trips to Starbucks and fun at the toy store.

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list, friends! Welcome to the 10th day of blogmas! Yesterday, I went to Starbucks twice, and I also got two fun items at the toy store. I can’t wait to tell you more about it, so let’s get to it. My first trip to Starbucks was before I went to work. I got a sugar cookie almond milk latte. That drink has become one of my go-to Starbucks drinks lately. After that I still had time before work so I decided to go to the toy store. I was planning on getting another play foam pals toy. I didn’t see any at first, but then I saw that they had a few left. I got an orange colored one. I haven’t opened it yet, but I’m excited to see what toy is inside the foam. At the toy store, they were having a sale on advent calendars. They were 40% off. I decided to get this one that had 12 ornaments in it that you color. After the toy store, I went to work. My work day went well, and then I went home. However, when I was close to being home, I realized that I had left my toy store bag at work. I went back to work, and I was happy that I didn’t leave it outside. I had left it on a table inside. After I got my bag. I went to Starbucks again. I want to get my my something to say thank you to my mom for taking me back to work. I also got myself a peppermint mocha and a snowman cookie. It was a good way to end the day.
