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.

Lots of clearance shopping and buying new seasonal items

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! As some of you know, I work at Walgreens. One of my favorite sections of the store is the seasonal isle. Right now, there are some big changes going on in the seasonal isle. The Christmas items are on clearance, and the Valentines Day items are being put on the shelves. We are also putting out more outdoor toys. I have done my fair share of clearance shopping. I’m surprised at how many times are left. I’ve gotten some great clearance items, including a gel timer and surprise toys that also come with candy, a leopard print tumbler, a bucket of fake snow that has toys inside, nail stickers, GooToobz toys, a Squishmallow hooded blanket, and a drawing game. I’ve also been getting some of the new seasonal items. I got some Valentine’s Day Pez dispensers, a bucket of outdoor toys, and a squishy toy shaped like an ice cream cone. I’m excited to see what seasonal items will be on the shelves next! Have you bought any clearance items this year?

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 ?

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Today, I did a Christmas themed craft kit that I got at the Dollar Tree. It was a simple coloring craft kit. The kit came with a cute tote bag and some markers. I loved the cute gingerbread people on the bag. I had a fun time doing this project. I find coloring to be a very relaxing activity. I highly recommend getting simple craft kits, especially for Christmastime!

Christmas ornament craft kit and a fun trip to Savers !

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I have two fun things to tell you about. The first one is a Christmas painting art kit that I recently finished. The other thing is my latest thrift shopping fun at Savers! Without any more delay, let’s get to it!

Painting ornaments – I got this fun craft kit at work. It comes with four ornaments to paint. I had a fun time painting the ornaments. My favorite ornament is the snowman. I love craft kits like this one, and I’m excited to do more Christmas themed craft kits this year.

Savers – I went to Savers this week. I got three Barbie dolls, some books including Barbie books, jewelry, two craft kits, and more. I was very excited about the two craft kits I got. I was also excited about the three Barbie dolls that I got because this location does not always have a good amount of dolls. There were not very many this time, but I’m happy with the three that I got. I’m also really excited about The books because they will help me reach my reading goal.

The competition of seasonal shopping

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I have been having a fun time buying Christmas items lately. As soon as they were displayed at the store where I work, I began buying them. recently, I got a bucket of fake snow that has toys hidden inside , a very cute bird decoration, two plush toys , a squishy toy, and an advent calendar. I also got a bag of frosted animal crackers, another light bulb lollipop ,stickers and gel window decorations. The Christmas themed items that I bought this week have not been the only Christmas themed items that I have been buying. There are two main reasons why I have been buying so many Christmas items. The first reason is that I love Christmastime! I love all the fun items that are available around Christmastime. The second reason is that as soon as we get further into Christmastime, those items will more than likely sell out very quickly. Years ago, I waited too long to buy a gingerbread house, and when I went to buy one, I could not get one. I went to many different stores, and I could not get one. I remember how disappointed I was, so now I try to buy things I want early. When it comes to buying seasonal items, there does seem to be a bit of a competition. Since these items are only around for a certain amount of time. Especially when it gets closer to the holiday. Soon, everyone will want to buy these items, and it turns into a contest of who can buy them first. My strategy for this competition is easy buy want you want early. As soon as you see it, get it! I plan on getting most, if not all, of my Christmas themed items this month. Have you started buying Christmas items yet?

An art kit, thrift shopping, break time shopping, and more

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I thought it would be fun to do a post about some of the things I’ve been up to lately. I don’t need to do a long introduction for this so, Let’s get to it!

My latest art kit fun – I got this simple painting art kit at work, and I had a lot of fun doing it. I painted a space man and a rocket. My favorite part was painting a smiley face on the spaceman.

Some of my break time shopping, including Christmas items!- I’ve done a lot of breaktime shopping lately. On Saturday, I got this really cool sensory bucket that has a bunch of fun toys and slime inside. I also got a Paw Patrol activity set. As for Christmas themed items on Friday, I got some really fun Christmas themed hair accessories, including bows!

My latest thrift shopping trip – Also, on Saturday, I went to my favorite local thrift store. I got there close to closing time, so I didn’t have a lot of time to shop, but I did get some fun items.  I got some short books to help me cross off a bucket list item I’m working on. I also got a mini brands game, stickers, a headband , two Pez dispensers, and more!

I have a new favorite Chinese restaurant – yesterday, after church, my parents and I went to a Chinese restaurant that we had not been to before and it was really good! It is now my local favorite Chinese food restaurant!

Christmas Starbucks drinks – It is that time of year, and I love peppermint mochas and the other fun drinks Starbucks has right now!

More friend time on a Friday, Whole Foods and break time shopping on a Saturday

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m very excited to say that I got to see my friend again on Friday! We went to eat at one of our favorite places, Veggie Grill. It was good as always, but really, it was really good just to hang out with my friend again. Life is always so busy, and it is good to take a break and spend time with some of your favorite people. We also went to Target , Michaels and Old Navy. I did not get anything at Old Navy, but there were some very cute items as always. At Target, I got a Christmas Craft kit. I was so happy to see that they had the craft kits out already. I hope to go back and get the wooden nativity set that you can paint. At Michaels, I got some beads and other items, including Christmas themed stickers. It was a really great day, and I hope to keep up the trend of seeing my friend often. The next day, I worked the closing shift at work. Before work, I went to Whole Foods. It had been a while since I had been to Whole Foods, so I was very happy to go there. I got some soup for lunch and some other items, including the fruit snacks that come with trading cards and a duck shaped bath sponge. On one of my breaks at work I went shopping and I got a Hot Wheels car, mechanical pencils and eraser toppers. It was a pretty great two days.

My review of Barbie Pop reveal!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is time for another product review! Not too long ago, I bought a Barbie pop reveal doll. However, I didn’t open her until today. This doll is different from the color reveal dolls in a few ways. The first way is that you know which doll you are going to get. I like that because it makes collecting the whole set much easier, and more importantly, you won’t get any doubles unless you want them. Also, the container that the doll comes in is not a plastic tube it is a big plastic cup decorated with fruit and the Barbie logo. The doll is unique in the way her knees and ankles bend. However, she can’t be put into a sitting position in the way that many other dolls can. This doll comes with a few fun accessories, including a little pet. Slime is also included, but I did not open it. Overall, I’m really happy with this new series of reveal dolls, and I hope that there will be more like it.

Friend time and another American Girl doll

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Last Friday was a really great day. I finally got to spend some time with my amazing friend. It had been over a month since I last saw her. We both ended up having the same day off, and that is a very rare thing for us. The first thing we did was go to Starbucks. After that, we went to my favorite local thrift store. I had been there the week before, and I saw that they had the American Girl doll Courtney. She is one of my favorites but I decided not to spend the 50.00 to get her. However, when I saw that she was still available, I felt like I had to get her, so I did. I was so happy to have her as a part of my collection! I also got some other things at the thrift store, including a container full of plastic toys, two Barbie fast food toys , a big book about animals ,and a bag of doll clothes. After thrift shopping, we went to lunch, went on a walk, and then we ended the day with frozen yogurt. It was a really great day!
