Current Mood : Happy with new stuff
Current Image Notes : This is a towel available via DisneyShopping.com - we got a catalog in Dearest Son's Wall-E figurine set today. Ummm, since when does Daisy have a ponytail ? How can she ? Is it made of feathers ? I always thought the back of her head had a, well... a d.a. style !
Sorry to pull another vanishing act on ya'll. It got to be time to post today's entry, and there wasn't one, and I lazily went to sleep. Told you guys how lazy and selfish I am !
Today was nice, though. I got to hit GoodWill and Dollar Tree, got some goodies. GoodWill had a shell-shaped baking tin, with eight shell impressions. I'm hoping to use it to melt crayons into fun shapes. I'm not sure why I want to do that, but I do - I've been looking at candy molds online for days. 50c.
Then, I found a six-inch-tall fireplace, still in the Hobby Lobby packaging. Ordinarily, I'd use it with Playscale dolls, but the mantle makes it look too small for them. However, it looks really cute with the half-sized Disney Dancing Princess dolls ! I'll probably find a good fire image to scale and print out, glue in the back.
But the big find - to me, anyway ! - was a Barbie case ! Oh, it wasn't anything rare or really special, but I really like it. The side folds down to form a table and benches, with a mirror insert. I just love it when a case is also a playset. The front has a Barbie princess photo on a cartoon backdrop design. 1989, too. I gladly shelled the $1. for that !
Dollar Tree was fun, but they really haven't had much new in a while. Scored some chalk for Dearest Son's board he's beginning to use again, and some shampoo for him. Beloved Hubby's been needing another Ace bandage, so I picked up two, and the corn chips he likes from there. I snagged a set of four mini-notebook keychains with Disney Princess designs - they're about Elphie-sized. I'll take off the keychains later, put them with the rest for the big Christmas project.
I also found a small manicure set, complete with another pair of manicure scissors. So I snagged it. What the heck. Can always use another nail clipper around here, and the scissors are always good to have as a backup. I lost the ones I just bought for about a week, under some papers.
Ya'll know I'm lazy and selfish, right ? Well, I'm also petty. Here's the latest example. Earlier this month, Dearest's school asked for everyone to send in those General Mills' box tops, soup labels, and Pure Life water bottle labels, so they can send ‘em off and get the rewards. So I finally got off my big ole butt during Spring Break and got the bundle I had ready for donation.
That's not quite the petty part. Today, Dearest brought home a slip of paper thanking everyone for sending ‘em in, and the other side noted which teacher's class, by grade, was in the lead for most turned in. Amazingly, it's his class ! So I embraced my petty, and tore through the house, upending boxes and snatching labels off stuff we haven't consumed yet. Because I want his class to...I don't know, it's not like they win anything, I think. If his class was second or third, I'd have gone to bed an hour earlier. But since he was in the lead, I busted butt. And there's another bag full of hopefully enough to put them over the top when the promotion ends with March.
Petty, petty Mommy.
