What I’ve been up to February 2022

Hello,my bucket list friends! I know we are not very far into February but I thought I’d talk about what I’ve been up to so far. Let’s start with my latest shopping fun.Last Wednesday I went thrift shopping it was just a quick trip to Goodwill. I got four items. Two build a bear brand plush toys, a Barbie doll and a Barbie volleyball play set. On Friday I did more thrift shopping! I went to Savers after work and got few pretty nice things. Including a Barbie color reveal doll, some teenie beanies,a bag that had two craft kits in it, and some Claire’s items. Saturday I went to Safeway and got some more Kinder Joy Barbie themed eggs and a cupcake that had a heart shaped ring on top along with a little sign that said happy Valentine’s Day. On Sunday I went to Whole Foods and I got a bath bomb shaped like an avocado! Now, let’s talk about my voice acting Journey! On Saturday I did a long group class over Zoom and it was so much fun! I have to finish setting up my home studio because I’m going to be recording my demo soon! I can’t wait to start applying for voice acting jobs! I have so much fun when I’m doing voice over homework. I can’t wait until I start working in the world of voice acting! Also on Saturday I took some time to be creative and played with Model Magic! I made a bunch of little things from just two packages of Model Magic. Oh and I’ve also been using lots of bath bombs. I actually just ordered some more because I’ve been going through them so quickly! So, that’s what I’ve been up to lately. What about you?

Nighttime sticker art

Hello, my bucket list friends! On Tuesday I did a simple but fun art project. I had planned on doing a craft kit but time got away from me. I still wanted to do an art project before I went to sleep. I had a pack of foam door hangers in my closet.I decided to decorate one of them using some of the many stickers I have. The first sticker I used was an American Girl star logo. Then I began adding more stickers. Including trees,flowers and animals. I love doing sticker art projects. They are simple but fun and very relaxing. I’m happy with the way my door hanger looks!

A trip to the Dollar Tree and a art project

Hello, my bucket list friends and happy Sunday. Yesterday I did some shopping at the Dollar Tree. I was excited to see what items they had for Christmas. At the location I went to there were still many boxes of Christmas items that they had not opened yet. However there were some items out and ready ready to be bought. I got a snowman ornament, a light up Christmas tree, stickers and a wooden Christmas tree in the Christmas section. Some of the other items I picked up on this trip are play- doh, a squishy toy and a wooden word to paint. Today was the day I decided to paint the wooden Word. Painting is a very relaxing activity and I’m glad I did it today. I used three different colors to paint the word hello. I love Painting dots when I paint so I did that on this piece. I love the way it turned out and I want to paint the back when the paint dries.

bird house painting fun!

Hello,my bucket list friends! I’m home from work today because I have a ganglion cyst on my foot that makes it painful to walk. I decided to use some of the extra time I had today to do one of the craft kits that I’ve been wanting to do. I bought this bird house craft kit  at Five Below. In addition to the supplies that were in the kit I used some paint and paint brushes that I already had. I decided to do this craft kit outside to avoid any extra clean up. As soon as I started painting I felt relaxed. I loved picking out the colors and deciding where I wanted to put the.I’m very pleased with my colorful  bird house. I wonder what craft kit I will make next?

Painting magnets and a tea set

Hello, my buck list friends! I buy so many craft kits and can’t keep up with all of them. However I recently completed two of them. One was a kit where you paint your own wooden magnets the other one was a tiny tea set that you could paint. I love doing craft kits where you can paint an object without having to build or make anything first. Of course there’s nothing wrong with building or making something it can be a lot of fun. I just like to dive right into the painting part. The wooden magnets were all sea animals. It was fun to paint the smiling sea creatures and I really like the way they turned out. I got this craft kit at Savers and I’m very happy that I did. The next craft kit I got at a local toy store. I remember getting a craft kit similar to this when I was younger but that one was a larger tea set. This one was so tiny and cute. I decided to paint smiley faces on the tea set along with some dots. I like mixing colors when. I paint and I thinks it makes things look really cool. I wonder what arts and craft kit I will do next ?

Mess free glitter art !?

Hello, my bucket list friends! Monday I did one of my favorite and much needed stress relieving activities art! I decided to look through a bunch of my art and craft kits and chose one. I decided to do a craft kit that was different for the ones I useally do. This Melissa and Doug craft kit said that it made mess free glitter art. If you are a fan of arts and crafts you know that mess free and glitter are two things that normally don’t go together. I was curious to see how this would work out. It took me a little while to figure out how this kit worked but once I did it was a lot of fun! The kit came with two pictures that you decorated the glitter sheets that came with the kit. The pictures had stickers that you removed then you pressed the glitter sheets on to sticky part that the sticker covered. A few times I accidentally used the wrong side of the glitter sheets but luckily I was able to recover from that mistake. In my opinion the kit really lived up to it’s promise of mess free glitter art. I was really happy with the way the art turned out and now that I know how to use these kits I would love to do more in the future!
