Fun at the Christmas craft fair and a Barbie advent calendar blogmas day 3

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! There are a lot of Christmas events happening right now, and on Saturday, I got to go to one of my favorites. There is a craft fair that happens every year, and I really like going to it. Last year, I got some soap that had toys in it. I was happy to see that this year, that seller was back at the fair. I got three soaps that had toys in them and one that comes with a toy on top of it. I also got a free gift bag at that booth. My other craft fair finds were a quail sticker and a painting. I had a fun time walking around the craft fair and seeing all the fun things that people were selling. After the craft fair, I went to a Safeway that is different from the one I usually go to . I was very happy when I saw a Barbie Advent calendar there. I was very excited to bring it home with me ! I have not opened it yet, but I will be sure to write about it when I do!

Blogmas day 18 a colorful Starbucks cup and a gingerbread creation

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! It is time for a fun little blog post. This post is mainly about what I did yesterday, but there are some Christmastime highlights, including the ones I mentioned in the title above. The first highlight of the day was going to get Starbucks before going to work. The cup I got a Starbucks was the one with the trees on it. I decided to keep this cup and color it after work. There was one major difference about work on this day, and that was that I started work earlier than I had been. Work got busy at times, but it was a pretty good day overall. After work, I went home and started coloring my Starbucks cup. I got a bunch of different markers, and I made my cup very colorful. Later on that day I went to a family Christmas party. I was excited to see my family and play the White Elephant game. Another thing I was excited about was getting to decorate gingerbread houses. I brought my gingerbread Target store kit to build and decorate. I had a good time building the gingerbread store. I love the dog and shopping cart that came with the kit. I also enjoyed playing the white elephant game. That is one of my favorite games to play at Christmastime. I have a good amount of memories of playing that game, and now I have a new memory of playing it. It was good to spend time with family because I don’t get to see my family as often as I would like to. It was a good day. Christmas time is truly a special time of year.

Blogmas day 11 a craft faire and a coffee shop

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday I went to a local craft faire. I haven’t been to this event in a long time, so I was very excited that I got the chance to go yesterday morning. I was glad that the craft faire was inside because it was a rainy day. There were a lot of different vendors at the craft faire. I was excited when I saw a bunch of cute ornaments. I was even more excited when I found out that you could choose one and have it personalized. I chose a cat and had my name and the year put on it. Another thing that really caught my eye was a bunch of beautiful soaps. I was happy that there was soap that had toys inside. I got one soap that had a cat shaped toy inside and another that had a whale inside. I walked around a little more at the craft faire, and t I got one more item before it was time to leave. I this this very cute owl plush ornament. I have it sitting on the dresser next to my bed, and I love it so much. After the craft faire, we went home for a little bit before I had to go into town for work. I had some time before my shift started, so I spent some time at a nearby coffee shop. It was raining most of the day, so the coffee shop was the perfect place to hang out before work. I got a coffee and a reindeer shaped cookie at the coffee shop. After the coffee shop, I walked to work. Work went well, and after my shift, I went back home and had a nice night in.

Thanks for reading about my Saturday fun!

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.

Blogmas day 7 a Christmas cupcake!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! It looks like we have made it thorough the first week of blogmas already. I guess I should not be surprised at how fast time is going by since it is already the end of the year. However, it seems like the older I get, the faster the time seems to go by. I’m sure next December will feel like it came out of nowhere just like this one did. Anyways it is time to talk about the super cute cupcake that I got yesterday. After work, my dad picked me up and told me that we needed to go to Safeway. I was not planning on going to the store, but I was excited to get some of my favorite things. After all, I was out of chips shaped like Christmas trees! While at the store,I went to the bakery to see what kind of cupcakes they had available. I was very happy to see that they had Christmas cupcakes that had fun toppers on them. Safeway has a really good bakery, and I love their cakes. This cupcake was no different it tasted perfect. It also had a cute plastic present on top of it. The present is red with a green bow. I love they way those colors look together. It was also the perfect size it was not of the huge ones that they sometimes have. This was the perfect way to end my day.

Thanks for reading about a fun cupcake!

Blogmas day 5 coffee and an inflatable snowman

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Here we are on day five of blogmas. Yesterday I got a new outdoor decoration that I’m really excited about. Plus I have more things to tell you about so let’s get to it. I started the day by going to church. Later on, my dad and I went to town to do some errands. Our first stop was the hardware store. As soon as I walked into the store, I saw a display of Christmas items.I got two items from the display in the front. I got a necklace that has lights and bells on it, and a pair of fuzzy socks decorated like Snowman. Then I saw some Christmas ornaments, and I chose a fox ornament, but it was a hard choice between the bear and the fox. I continued to look at the Christmas items, and I was excited when I saw an inflatable snowman that was at an affordable price. I was excited to get the Snowman, and I was also excited to set him up outside. I also got a candy cane at the hardware store. After the hardware store, we went to Starbucks! I got the same drink that I did the day before, but I think next time, I’ll get a peppermint mocha because I haven’t had many of them this year. Our last stop was the grocery store. I got some of my favorite things there like fruit and Kinder Joy eggs. I also got chips shaped like Christmas trees. When we got back home, we put up some more outside lights. We also put up my Snowman! I love the way my Snowman looks with the rest of the lights!

This weekend put me in a Christmas state of mind

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! Another weekend has gone by so it is time for another post about my weekend. This Post however has a little bit of a theme. I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet but I’m in a Christmas state of mind! My weekend kind of ended up having a Christmas theme to it. I’m already looking forward to the Christmas fun that is going to be coming my way next month. Without any more delay let’s get to my Christmas themed weekend.

Friday – I had work on Friday but before that I went and got Starbucks. I got one of the Christmas themed cups. Starbucks is also in a Christmas state of mind. After Starbucks I went in to work. I really enjoy my work now so my days are much happier then they were before. I now work at Urban Remedy and they have amazing food. They are worth checking out if your are looking for some healthy and yummy food. After work I went to Walgreens. I had a big project that I was working on and I needed to get some items for it. My church participated in Operation Christmas Child this year. If you have never heard of Operation Christmas Child, Let me give you a quick explanation. Basically you are giving a child a shoebox full of Christmas presents. You chose a gender and age range and then fill the box with items with that in mind. I put together three shoe boxes. I needed to get some more items for the boxes so that was my main reason for going to Walgreens. I also got some items for myself while I was there. The Christmas section at Walgreens was full of fun items. I got a plush reindeer, a gingerbread man toy, and a art kit. I’m happy to say that I got many great items for the shoe boxes. This little shopping trip was a great way to start the weekend.

Saturday – I did have work on Saturday but I did have some time before work to get Starbucks and go for a walk in the park. The park that we have been walking at lately has become one of my favorites because it has a playground it is usually not very busy. While I was at work I tried the Sour Patch Kids popcorn that I got at Five Below. I will make a post reviewing the popcorn but I will say that I did like it. On my lunch break at work I walked to a toy store. I’m so happy that I work with in walking distance to a toy store now. Toy stores are something that definitely go well with Christmastime. This toy store was in a Christmas State of mind right along with me. They were many Christmas items available however the items I ended up getting were not Christmas themed. One of the items I got could be considered a Christmas item because it would make a really good stocking stuffer. It was something that I don’t remember seeing before. It’s called Play Foam Pals. It is a container of play foam with a toy hidden inside. I also got some stickers and two animal shaped erasers. That night after work I opened up the play foam and saw that there was a penguin inside. I’m happy that I went to the toy store on my lunch break because it became the highlight of my day.

Sunday – Sunday was another work day for me. I Started my day just like I did the day before. We got coffee then went on a walk at the same park. After that I went to work and I had a good day. It was a shorter shift so I didn’t have a lunch break. However, after work my mom and I went to Safeway to pick up a few things. Safeway had their Christmas items displayed in different areas of the store. In the frozen food isle I was surprised to see the Barbie Color reveal advent calendar. It looked similar to last year’s advent calendar so I had to look it up and make sure it was a different one. Once I saw that it was I decided to get it. Once I got it down from the top on the freezer I saw that there was a different Barbie advent calendar behind it. It took me a little bit but I decided to get the color reveal advent calendar that I had originally saw. It was truly a good way to end the weekend.

Thank for reading about my weekend! I hope you had a wonderful and that you have beautiful week!

Merry Christmas 2021!!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Things have been pretty busy lately but I wanted to do a quick post about my Christmas Eve, Christmas day, and the day after. Let’s start with Christmas Eve. One thing that was different about this Christmas Eve is that I went thrift shopping. I don’t think I’ve ever been thrift shopping on Christmas Eve until this year! I got some great items including a American Girl planner, a Coca-Cola polar bear plate, and a Barbie book. The item that I’m the most excited about was one that I have been wanting for a while. It’s a Build a Bear Darth Vader bear. It’s just so cute! I’m so happy I got him. On Christmas Eve night we went out to eat with my sister. It was nice to try a restaurant that we had never gone to before. I enjoyed the food here. On Christmas day we stayed home and did traditional Christmas things like open presents and had a big awesome dinner. I had a good Christmas this year. It was good to slow down and relax for a while. The day after Christmas we did some errands. We went to Starbucks and Whole Foods. I also got my new microphone put up on my desk. I haven’t got it work yet but it looks cool! Thanks for reading!

Blogmas day 24 Christmas ornament DIY.

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! Today I decorated a Christmas ornament. I got the main part of the ornament from the Dollar tree I filled the ornament with pom poms that also came from the Dollar Tree. After I put the pom poms in the ornament I knew it needed a little something else. I found some glitter glue in another Christmas ornament kit and I used that to decorate the outside of the clear plastic ornament. I’m happy with the way this project turned out but it is still drying at the moment. Have you ever done any DIY Christmas ornaments?
