Christmas 2013

Christmas was celebrated early this year so that the whole family could get together. We had tons of good food and opened presents on the 21st. It was fun and chaotic as usual! Soon after celebrating though, a 24 hour bug swept through most of the family! We were all sick and totally miserable. Thankfully we were back to normal by the next day... and able to eat other foods besides dry toast and crackers! lol On a much brighter note, I got lots of great stuff for Christmas this year. Thank you, dear family! Take a look at some of my favorites here! Also, enjoy bits and pieces of the dogs who decided to be in the way of photos too... mostly Ginger's limbs. ;)

This huge tote is handmade from a rabbit food bag! The inside has a really cute rabbit print material. It's incredibly cool and I can't wait to bring it to a rabbit show and...well, show it off!

So, I finally get to visit our new Ulta store with this gift card! I also got a gift card for JC Penney and a local pet store. Of course there are some various beauty items here too! I got some eye shadows and lip balms, some neat Avon mosaic nail polishes and my favorite glimmer sticks eyeliners. I also received a few pieces of jewelry and a sparkly bow headband.

My new and ever glorious Mukluks! My mother knows me so well... feathers, tribal pattern, bright neon-like colors. These are the Jasmine Boot Slippers,and they are super cozy and cute!

I am totally digging the Red Wings hat and scarf! Look at that pompom!

 Loki likes to bobble! My stuffy Captain America needed a friend... or enemy...
This adorable little Pop! vinyl Loki bobble head figure just makes me so happy... and look how much bigger he is than Thor. I bet that makes him ecstatic. ;)

I hope you've had a very merry Christmas and best wishes to you in the new year!

Salvation Army Haul

I went to one of my favorite places this week.. twice! This place, you ask? Salvation Army!

The first day I went, it was near closing... I headed straight for the books! I filled up a bag of books and picked up few little rabbit knick knacks. The second trip was much longer (lots of time browsing and in the dressing room) and I came home with some new clothing! :) Thrift shopping is great for relieving stress... finding a good bargain really makes ya feel good!

Shopping Day 1:

I got the "fill a bag of books" deal for only $1.99! I also picked up some cute little rabbits to add to my always growing collection of rabbit things. I plan on using most of the books as Christmas presents this year for my nieces and nephew.

These are the books I got for myself! There is also a Sherlock Holmes PC game ($1.99) that my mom bought for me too.  The books are The Secret Garden, 50 Ways to Pamper Yourself, Bloodline, The Nightmarys and a set of 6 Ultimate Puppy training books.

Some of these books are for my nephew. He is always taking his Pikachu stuffy with him, so I saw the Pokemon books and immediately thought of my childhood and him. They are in excellent condition considering they are from the late 90s. All of the coloring books have been untouched and still have all their stickers and tattoos. I might sell a few or keep one too. I'm sure there are some collectors out there that would love them. lol Same goes for a few Star Wars books that I found.

 The two children's books (Unlovable and Eating the Alphabet) are for my nieces and I also found a Spiderman Super Thriller paperback called Warrior's Revenge.

Last, I found these three little bunny knick knacks to fuel my obsession with all things bunny. The mother rabbit reading to her little bun-child was 69 cents and the adorable little pair of rabbits were 59 cents each.

 

Total: $4.09

Shopping Day 2:

I found quite a few things to try on... more than I think ever before. As usual, about half of the things I picked out actually fit me well or looked nice. lol For some amazing reason, everything was 25% off. I got an even better deal than usual. I saved between 37 and 67 cents on each piece of clothing. Overall, it was a great shopping day!
