A trip to the toy store and a sticker suncatcher art kit

Hello, my bucket list friends ! I’ve been in an artsy mood lately. On Saturday I went to one of my local toy stores and I got two art kits , stickers, and a box with three horses in it. Last night I decided to open the sticker suncatcher art kit that I got on Saturday. I loved this art kit! I love using stickers instead of paint to make sun catchers. It is a fun and mess free alternative to paint. This craft kit was very enjoyable and I with there were more kits like this that used stickers instead of paint to make suncatchers because I don’t see kits like this often. One of the sun catchers was shaped like an ice pop the other was shaped like an ice cream cone. The design of the sun catchers made me even more excited for summer then I already am! If you get a chance to do a sticker suncatcher art kit I highly recommend it!

Thank you for reading about this art project!

Thrift shopping, fun with friends, stickers, and so much more !

Hello, my bucket list, friends! April is going by so fast, and due to that, I decided to do one big blog post to get caught up on this month’s adventures! I’ve already had two friend hangouts this month, and that is rare for me, but I welcome it very much! I also went to Savers, got some stickers and other items from Micheals delivered, got two 1990s Barbie dolls, and did some at work shopping. However, that’s not all I have to write about, so with all that being said, let’s dive into my April 2025 adventures so far.

April 3rd – On this day, I went to Safeway on my lunch break, and I got some of those surprise capsules that have foam animals  inside. At work, I got a Hello Kitty chalk set that comes with a stencil. It was a pretty normal day, but it was a good day to get some fun items.

April 4th –  This was another day of at work shopping. I got two fun Squishmallow building sets, a fluffy bunny notebook, a bag of bouncy balls, a bunny garland ,a hairbrush ,mints, and roller chalk. It was a good day to get a few more fun items from work.

April 5th – On this day I got a delivery from Instacart. I ordered some fun items from Michaels, including two sticker books and a little art set. I also got some sport stickers and a Squishmallow slime set. I like like being able to get items delivered while I am at work. Getting some fun items delivered made my work day a little more fun!

April 8th – On this day I did two of my favorite things. I saw a friend and I went thrift shopping. This friend hangout was not planned but my friend happened to be in the same area as my work. I worked a different shift than I normally do so my lunch was earlier than normal. My friend and I went to Subway on my lunch break . It was wonderful to get to spend sometime with one of my very favorite people. Having a good conversation with my friend was something that I really needed. It is so easy for life to get busy and that can make it is hard to slow down and enjoy the best things in life like having a conversation with a friend. Having lunch with my friend on this day was truly a blessing. After work I took an Uber to Savers. I had not been to Savers in a while so I was happy to get the chance to go again. However ,it was a little overwhelming when I got there because it was so busy. It was a weekday but I live in a very crowded area so even the weekdays can be very busy. However, I was still able to get some great items even with all the crowds. My favorite item that I got was a vintage Barbie book. I also got a Barbie doll , a Squishmallow that still had a tag, a Squishmallow clip, a bag that had some stickers in it, two art kits, a large sticker book , and a shirt. It was an overall good trip to Savers but I hope I can go to a less crowded place the next time I got thrift shopping.

April 9th – I had this day off. I met another one of my favorite people for lunch. It had been a while since I had seen this friend so I was very excited to get to catch-up with her and to have some good food together. While we were walking around after lunch, I saw a doll store. I just had to go inside. I got two 90s Barbie dolls that were still in the box. I also got some doll clothes and some American Girl stickers! It was a really great day off. I wish I could hang out with my friends every week.

April 10th – On this day I got a Crayola Colourwhirl . I had seen this online and I really wanted one. I was not planning on getting one on this day. However the hardware store that I was in just happened to have them. I got the green one because green is my favorite color. I’m happy that I got one!

Thank you for reading about some of my April adventures!

A party for no reason and the Bay Area Travel show

Hello, my bucket list friends, I’m excited to tell you about two fun things I did last weekend. I know that I still have not crossed off any list items this year , yet this summer will be a different story . With all that being said, now let’s get to it.

3/15/ 2025

A party for no reason – Part of me likes working on Saturdays because that means I get to have a weekday off and I like having weekdays off because things are less crowed and and its easier to do what I need to do on the weekdays. However, on the 15th, I felt like my coworkers and I could use a party since we were having to work on a day that most people had off. Even though most of us who were there work every Saturday. I just felt like we needed a party. I ordered pizza and cake to be delivered. I also ordered some stickers and a bath bomb for myself. Oh, and I got these super cute bunny plates. I had a great time having a party for no reason with my coworkers. I hope I get the urge to do this again sometime.

3/16/2025 – On this day, my mom and I went to the Bay Area Travel show. I had a great time when I went last year. I even got to ask the host of the Amazing Race a question. This year, I did not know any of the speakers. We spent our time at the travel show exploring the different booths. I plan to add some more items to my list next month, and the booths at the Travel Show provided some great inspiration. The booth at the Travel show handed out different items such as stickers, lip balm, and pens. One booth even had shoe charms. We ate lunch at the show, and we got to see some dancers perform. One more highlight of the show was that I got to see a giant bunny. He was so cute and soft! I had a good time at this show, and I hope to go back next year.

A March 2024 weekend blog post yay for stickers!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! As many of you know, my work schedule changes every week, so my days off are always changing. I don’t have traditional weekends, but I still think Saturdays and Sundays are enjoyable. This weekend, I happened to have a Saturday off. I hope all of you had a great weekend, even if you had work.

Friday, March 22nd – I had work on this day. I worked the same shift that I have been working  lately. During my break, I bought a sticker activity book. I have been really into stickers lately. I got some other items at work on this day too including two more Good 2 Grow juice tops to add to my collection. If you collect Good 2 Grow juice tops, I highly recommend getting the app.

Saturday, March 23rd – I had this day off, but I had to get up kind of early to go to an appointment in Napa. On the way back, we stopped at Michaels, and I got a bunch of stickers, of course. There was a very large selection of stickers. I was very excited to see some summer stickers. I also got a Barbie Pez dispenser and a wooden painting craft kit. We also picked up lunch at Baja Fresh, which is a very underrated place, in my opinion. There were free Easter pencils there and I was very happy. Later that day we went on a walk. It was an overall good day off.

Sunday, March 24th – I had work on this day, but not until later in the day. Before church, I got coffee. When we went to go get coffee, there was a husky in a car, and I howled, and the dog howled back it was so cute! I wish I had it on video. It was palm Sunday, so we had palm branches decorating the church. After church, there was a lunch, and I ended up staying for a long time. It was good to hang out and talk to people that I don’t normally get to talk to for more than a minute or so. At work, I noticed that there were some good sales on Easter items. I got this singing shark toy that comes with candy. I had been wanting it and I was very happy to see that it was on sale for a good price. I also got a Pez dispenser and a peeps treasure chest that was on sale, too.

Thanks for reading about my weekend! Love, Christina Epperly!

My little sticker book

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Saturday before work, I bought this sticker set that I had been thinking about getting for a while now. I also bought a mini notebook. I started putting my favorite stickers from the sticker set in the notebook. I had fun making sticker pictures in my new mini notebook. I have not completed my little sticker book yet, but I wanted to share some of the pages with you! I hope this inspires you to be creative!

Love, Christina Epperly

Sticker craft kit yay!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m excited to tell you about the latest craft kit that I opened. One thing that I really like about this craft kit is that it comes with lots of stickers! I did not even use all the stickers that came with the kit. The kit was a very simple one it came with a plastic tumbler that included a lid a straw and two sheets of stickers to decorate the tumbler with. I enjoyed decorating the tumbler, and I love the way that it looks. I wish that I had more sticker craft kits like this one. I will have to keep my eye out!
