I got a new American Girl doll this weekend! Plus other adventures

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! It is time for another what I did this weekend blog post. I have some fun stuff to talk about so let’s get to it!

Friday- on Friday after work I went to the paradise that is Target. As always I found some amazing things that I just had to have. I got three bath bombs, a Barbie doll, a craft kit,socks and more! I wanted to get a another Barbie color reveal doll but I was too worried about getting the same one that I already had. However, I really like the doll I did end up getting. A trip to Target is a good way to start the weekend!

Saturday- On the first official day of the weekend, I did one my favorite things. I went thrift shopping. This time I went to a local thrift store. At first I wasn’t finding much however that turned around and I got some fun items. My three favorite things I got are a Barbie arts and crafts book, a TY plush animal, and a goldfish snack container. After the thrift store we went to Safeway. I got food for the week but I also got some cool Jelly hair ties to use as bracelets, some Ice Breaker mints and a loofah sponge. Later on that day I went on a walk go see my neighbor’s horse and pony. It had be a while since I had last seen them. It was good to see them again and I enjoyed giving them carrots!

Sunday- As you may have guessed by now, Sunday is the day I got my new American Girl doll. The story on how are got her is interesting because I didn’t just go and buy her. I actually won her! On Sunday I volunteered at the Firemen’s BBQ a local fundraiser that that is done yearly. One of my favorite parts of the the event is the raffle. Many items are in the raffle every year. Last year there was an American Girl doll that I really wanted but I didn’t win her. However, this year I was very happy to see that there was another doll in the raffle this year. There were also some other items I was interested in and I’m happy to say I also got a large unicorn paint set and a gift card to a restaurant. However, the thing I was most excited about was the American Girl doll. I was so happy to hear my name called! I named her Clementine and I’m very happy to have her in my collection!

Thanks for reading about my weekend! I hope all of you have a good week.

My latest weekend adventures!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! It’s time for another weekend blog post! This weekend I went to a local attraction that I had never been to before and went thrift shopping. I’m excited to tell you all about that and more! Before we dive into my weekend I just wanted to say that I usually start my weekend posts with what I did on Friday. However,I already covered that in another post. ( You can read about it HERE) Now, with all being said let’s get into my weekend adventures.

Saturday – My big adventure on Saturday was going to visit Hakone Gardens for the first time. This attraction is pretty close to where I live but I had never visited it before. Before we went to the garden my mom and I stopped at Starbucks for some cold drinks because it was a hot day. When we got to the gardens we parked in the large parking lot. I was both happy and surprised to see that it wasn’t very busy. We went to the gift shop to buy our tickets for the garden. I also got some souvenires. After the gift shop it was time to explore the gardens. There where many beautiful things to see in Hakone Gardens. Some of my favorites are the water fall, the Koi fish in the pond, the bamboo garden and this cute little bridge. I had a fun time taking pictures and walking around the gardens. There were some spots where there was a really good view. There was some construction going on so we didn’t get to explore all of the paths around the garden but I’m very happy with what we were able to see especially the waterfall. Waterfalls are so relaxing to watch and listen to. I also liked that there was a good amount of shade in the gardens because it was a very hot and sunny day. After enjoying the garden we went to one of my favorite Goodwill locations. I did not get a huge haul on this thrift trip but I did find some fun things that I was excited to take home with me. Goodwill gets items from Target that they didn’t sale and on this thrift shopping adventure every thing I got except for one thing came from the Target section.The one item that I got that was not from Target was a craft kit. This craft kit comes with a roll of tape that has designs on it and markers to color it with. This was an interesting craft kit and I was happy to have found it at the Goodwill. The other things that I got that were from the Target section where a wooden craft kit, an ice skating Barbie doll, and some summer themed bubbles. I’m happy with my small but awesome thrift haul. After Goodwill we went to Starbucks again for more cold drinks because it was a very hot day.

Sunday – I did some errands on Sunday. I was also having bad muscle pain on my side so I didn’t have that much fun when I was out running errands. However I still went to Starbucks and I also went to Safeway and got chocolate that had prizes inside. I’m happy to say that I’m feeling much better now and I was still able to enjoy my weekend.

One four day weekend and one regular weekend!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! It looks like I’ve fallen behind on my weekend blog posts,so the best thing to do in a time like this is to combine the posts! That’s right my friends in this post I will be covering what I did this weekend plus what I did over the long 4th of July weekend. I have a lot to cover in this post so let’s get to it!

Fourth of July weekend

Friday – After work on Friday, I went thrift shopping at Savers. I had a coupon and I was excited to use it. When I went to the store I was disappointed to see that there were not many dolls there. However, I still manged to find some fun things that I was excited to welcome to my collection. My favorite item I got was this American Girl puzzle set that comes with a frame to put the puzzle in. Some of my other favorites from this thrift ship adventure include a pair of Old Navy shorts, a squishy plush owl from TY, a Disney mug from the Allstar Sports resort, and a unicorn from Build a Bear Workshop that had a cute outfit on. It was a good way to start off this long weekend. On Saturday I went to Starbucks and the Dollar Tree. At the Dollar Tree I got a set of 4th of July magnets and a pop bracelet that I’m actually wearing right now. On Saturday evening I went with my parents to see Point of Grace in concert. The concert was in a beautiful venue that was in the middle of a bunch of redwood trees. The concert was great! I’m so glad we got to go and see it. Sunday was the day before the 4th of July. I went to Starbucks of course. I also went to Safeway. At Safeway I got one of my favorite things. Candy that comes with a toy inside. On July 4th I started my celebration by doing a July 4th craft kit. My mom and I went to a local park that was having a 4th of July celebration. We road the train that they have there. We also listened to an orchestra that was performing at the park. My work was also was closed on the 5th so I had an extra day to sleep in and take it easy. I took a bath with two bath bombs and I went to vist my horse friend Dominic. It was a pretty awesome long weekend.

Normal two day weekend. – Last weekend was a pretty normal and a pretty relaxed weekend. On Friday after work I went to Target. My main goal at Target was to get bath bombs. I got four bath bombs that had prizes inside. I also got another Barbie doll for my collection. When Saturday came I didn’t have any solid plans but I did end up going to Starbucks, Yogurtland, and a local park. It had been a while since I went to Yogurtland. I was happy to go again. When we got to the park I was surprised to see that it was not very crowded. I walked with my mom and Axle ( a super cute dog) then I went to the playground to go down the slide. On Sunday I decided to use two of the bath bombs I got from Target. I also drew my summer picture that day. It was a simple but an overall enjoyable weekend.

Friday- I know I always start my weekend posts with Friday after work but in this case I had the whole day off. I went to Starbucks and the doctor’s office for a work physical but the big highlight of the day was going to Savers! I had a coupon for clothes and accessories. I got some shirts and a new swim top. I also two Equestria Girl dolls, Two Disneyland lanyards and some TY Beanie Babies. I also went on a walk over to where this pony lives and we gave him carrots. It was a good start to my four days off!

I also got another bath bomb that lights up! Some of the other things I got at Target include sunglasses,  socks and fan that has bubbles with it. The night I took a bath with bath bombs of course.

Sunday- Sunday was a day filled with adventure. My mom and I went on a day trip to Big Sur. We started our day by taking a tour of the Point Sur light Station. It was very windy but also very beautiful. It was a very interesting tour and yes, they had a gift shop. I got some cool souvenires there including a bookmark and a keychain. Other adventures include going to see McWay falls and a quick vist to Phifer Big Sur state park. We also went on this walk that a had a beautiful view of the ocean. The are so many beautiful things to see in the Big Sur area but it does get very crowded. However I would recommend exploring this area.

It was a pretty good four day weekend!

One busy weekend!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! It’s time for another weekend blog post! This weekend was pretty busy as you can see from the title. Let’s start with Friday. On Friday evening I went to the Goodwill. I needed to get a dress for a work event but of course I had to see if there was anything I wanted to add to my collection. I think someone donated a TY collection to the Goodwill because I got two Beanie Buddies and a few Beanie Babies. My other fun find was a mini paint set it’s just so cute! Oh and about the dress I mentioned earlier, I found one that I love. It still had the tags on it. I was so happy that I decided to get a dress that night. After the Goodwill I went to Panera Bread and Walgreens. At Walgreens I got a Barbie puzzle and a squishy toy. On Saturday, I went to Starbucks then I went to Barnes and Noble where I got some great books. One of the Barbie books I got came with stickers. After that we went to a baby shower for my cousin. It was great to see everyone and the decorations were so cute! The day had been pretty busy already but it was not over yet! There was a gathering going on in my neighborhood. The big highlight of that neighborhood gathering was that there were so many dogs there! I love being around dogs especially happy ones! Sunday was another busy day. I spent most of the day with my friend. We started off the day by going to church. It was my first time at this church but my friend had been there before. I really liked the church that we went to and I hope to go back again sometime. After church we went to the Goodwill,Subway and Starbucks. At the Goodwill I got a Barbie doll and an American Girl book. We ended the day by going to a Mexican restaurant. It was great to spend a day with my awesome friend. There you have it my jam-packed weekend. Thanks for reading!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! It’s time to morn the loss of yet another weekend. There are some who say that we should focus of the happy memories and not the loss. For this post I think that’s a great idea! Let’s start by talking about Friday. On Friday we got surprised with some really awesome cookies at my work! I got a confetti cookie it was so happy looking and it was also really yummy! After work I went to the Dollar Tree. I was excited to see that they already had some of their summer items out. My favorite item that I got that day was a pack of summer themed trivia cards. Some of the questions are really easy but some are really interesting. Some other things I got at the Dollar Tree included some squishy toys, a My Little Pony sticker set, and some paint! It was a good way to start the weekend. On Saturday I had my first marketing class through my voice acting school. It was really interesting and I look forward to the other sessions. I also got to go to a store that I love and that store is Michaels. I’m very creative person so I love stores that are filled with art supplies. I got some really fun things at Michaels including two packages of wooden animal shaped ornaments, a wooden pineapple, paint sticks, stickers, and beads shaped like sea animals. However my favorite thing that I bought at Michaels was a TY squishy beanie leppard toy! It is so soft and squishy I love it so much! After shopping we went to Starbucks! I got an iced coffee and a cake pop! Later that day I went back into town and walked on one of my favorite trails. After that I went to 7-Eleven and got a slurpee. That night I a took a bath with bath bombs! On Sunday I went to Starbucks again but the big highlight of the day was going to a restaurant to celebrate my cousin’s birthday! It was a pretty great weekend!

Goodbye bubbles, a trip to the Goodwill and Easter fun

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! Another weekend has left us. Before we move on from it I wanted to share my adventures this weekend with all of you. I had one big event planned this weekend and that was the bubble run. I was excited to do the bubble run for the third time. It was a rainy and windy day and they kept pushing back the start start time. There were people who had earlier start times that had already done the race but unfortunately for us they ended up canceling the race for safety reasons. I was very disappointed but I did get to see my friends so that was good. After we left the race we made a stop at Starbucks and then we went home. Afer being at home for a little bit, I went shopping at the Goodwill. I wanted to do something fun after being disappointed with the run being canceled. At the Goodwill I found two amazing Barbie items. One is a helicopter and the other is a is car that opens up but I haven’t figured how to open it yet LOL! I also got three bath bombs, a plush dog purse, a Minnie Mouse watter bottle and more. After the Goodwill, I went to the Habit and got a coffee shake! I love their coffee shakes. It was a pretty alright day even if it didn’t go as planned. The next day was Easter Sunday I started the day by going to church I had the perfect Easter dress that I got at Savers. Later in the day I went my cousins house, we had a lot of amazing food and we also did an egg hunt. I still love doing egg hunts ! I’ll probably still be doing egg hunts when I’m 50!

Thanks for reading about my weekend!

My fun weekend adventures plus space flavored Coca-Cola

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’ve been wanting to get this post up all week but I finally got around to it. This weekend was pretty amazing and I’m excited to tell you about it. Let’s start with Friday. On Friday during my lunch break I walked to CVS. I was excited to see what Easter items they had available. I ended up getting a craft kit and a plush frog that was in a plastic egg. That evening after work, I had a voice acting class where I practiced my scripts for my demo reel. I’m really excited to get my demo put together! On Saturday I spent most of the day with my good friend Teresa. We got pizza and then we went to see the movie Dog it was pretty good. It was a very emotional movie but it had a good ending and some laughter mixed in along the way. It’s worth checking out if you are wanting to go to the theater. After the movie we went to the Goodwill. I found some fun items there. Some of my favorite items I got there were three Barbie dolls, a large Lisa Frank pencil, a bath bomb, and a bath bomb bar! It was a pretty good thrift trip. Teresa has a beautiful orange tree in her yard and she gave me some oranges. She also gave me some bath bombs from a brand I had never tried before. We ended our amazing day with a trip to the candy store and dinner. It was a truly fun day. On Sunday I took a bath using one of the bath bombs Teresa gave me and I used part of the bath bomb bar I got at the Goodwill. I like how the bath bomb bar can be broken up and used multiple times. The bath bomb she gave me had a ring inside. I  love it when bath bombs have prizes inside. Later that day my mom and I went on a walk and on the way back we ended up going to a neighbor’s house for pizza! There were also a lot of dogs there it made me smile. I also went to Safeway on Sunday. I found something interesting while I was there. Space flavored Coca-Cola Yup you read that right. I had seen a pictures of this new product but this was my first time actually seeing it in stores. The taste was very interesting. It had a very sweet cake like flavor. I did enjoy the taste and I would recommend trying it. This weekend was really busy but also really fun.
