Hi,Everyone!

So,I haven't been a very good blogger,have I? Oh,well......I do have an excuse......my birthday is on Thursday! I'll be 21 years old! Although,I'm not much of a party person,so I'll probably be just sitting at home,sipping tea and watching cartoons until dinnertime. Hey,sounds good to me!! Anywho,I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving last week,and I hope you all have a splendid evening!

BYE-BYE!!

So......................................Halloween is coming...................very soon.

I can't wait!

Caffeine?

Testing....Testing.............okay,I think my brain is working at the moment. Sorry,I just drank A LOT of soda tonight,and I'm still feeling a bit of the caffeine. Anywhooooo,it is getting closer and closer to one of my all time favorite holidays....HALLOWEEN!! I actually just got a new light-up pumpkin tonight! It is black,with off-white trim on the inside. Very gothic,if you ask me! I also got a new pair of Halloween socks. They have a black background,with orange trim and ghosts all over the black background. They're really cute,and I got them for $1.00! Sweet! Well,I guess that is it for tonight. Bye!

Random Things On My Mind

1. Did you ever notice that Neutrogena Transparent Facial Bar soap looks and even smells like pumpkin innards? Weird. 2. I currently have hundreds of plush toys,and a well-sized fraction of that is made up of Ty Beanies. I've been thinking of selling a few,but I'm not even sure where to begin! I still have my first beanie baby,which is a pastel multi-colored white rabbit that I got when I was around four-seven years old (I don't quite remember my age at that time). 3. I think I may have a sweater problem. I have over twenty different sweaters I have gotten at the thrift stores and various yard sales,just from the past year! Although,I do rather enjoy them,considering that where I live it can get pretty iffy weather-wise,anywhere from late Summer to early Spring,so they are quite nice to have on hand. ^-^ 4. I didn't know it was possible to collect bar soap until recently,when I discovered I have (count 'em) ten different types of bar soap around the house! Granted,I do like the variety of the different scents. I have anywhere from handmade salt acrub soap that smells like a combination of cinnamon and candy (Halloween themed),to the good ol' classic,Ivory. 5. I am in serious need of more bookshelves. I have stacks of books in the living room,boxes of books upstairs,and even bags of books tucked into every corner! Seriously,magic bookshelf fairy,please build me a couple more bookshelves! 6. I currently have a large,crocheted clown peeking out at me from under the pile of plushies sitting on his head............he looks angry. O_O 7. I have a strange desire to go out today and buy anime magazines. 8. Have you ever heard of bath confetti? They are paper-like soap flakes that you sprinkle into your bathtub before taking a bath. I got a pack of watermelon scented ones at a yard sale yesterday. Unopened,of coure. 9. I have just discovered soymilk tastes awesome! 10. I want to learn how to make novelty soap. I miss the variety Michaels craft stores used to have when I was eight years old. *sigh* Wow my head hurts from all this thinking! Anyway,the link thingy doesn't want to work for me right now,so I'll just type out the links for everything at the bottom of this post,then you can just copy & paste.

Happy Birthday!!

Today,is the 15th birthday of our two sweeties,Tiger & Whiskers! I wanted to post this,as a memorial to my late buddy of the two birthday boys,Whiskers. He passed away last year at the age of 14. He was my little soldier in a fur coat,and stuck by me throught thick and thin. I honestly still believe he made a deal with God,to atay here about two months longer while my dad was recovering from his heart attack last year. It certainly helped,anyway! Even though he is no longer with us in physical form,he is still in my heart. I love you buddy,wherever you are! ^_^

Plushies Galore!

Hi,everyone! So,I've been thinking of different ways I could show my plush toy collections on the internet,and I think I've found an answer! I'm (hopefully) going to make different collection posts on here,giving a brief description of the plush in question,all in a certain theme for said post. For example,I rather enjoy the cartoon Adventure Time. I could title the post as Adventure Time Plush Collection,and feature all of the plushies I have for that show,giving photos,descriptions and links to where you can get them (if available)! Simple enough,right? Then,why did it take me so long to decide upon this idea?! Eh,it happens sometimes,considering I've been busy with spring cleaning and trying to thin out my collections. Oh,and I did end up finding a blue canning jar for my mom on Mother's Day! Just in time (on the Saturday before Mother's Day) my dad and I found a little jam or jelly canning jar for $4.00 at a reuse center! I was rather happy,and so was my mom! In fact,she wouldn't have been gifted the jar if my dad hadn't found it first. Anywho,I guess I had better get going! I have a new pile of books,magazines and vhs tapes in the living room calling my name! Oh,and a bowl of cotton candy ice cream! =) Bye!!

News? Mother's Day Gift?!

Hello,everyone! I decided to do a quick post today,just to tell about some things that have been going on around here. Well,my dad and I (my mom as well),have been thinking of doing a little bit of collection purging. He suggested a yard sale,and my mom and I have an Etsy shop in the making,so that could be an option,too. We also have a friend at a local antique shop that we sold things to before. So,I'm just now trying to decide which method would be best for all! I guess we'll see where that goes! -_- I've also been trying to figure out what to make for my mom on Mother's Day (Sunday!!!!). I went shopping at an antique center and a flea market this past weekend with my dad,searching for a blue canning jar for my mom. She used to collect vintage canning jars for awhile,but hasn't bought one recently. Well,I thought for Mother's Day,I would change that,but lo and behold,they were all too pricey,or she already had them! 0_0 What am I supposed to do if they're too pricey!! *SIGH* Oh,well. I guess I'll figure out something! See you!

A Vintage Teddy Bear

Hello Everyone! So,tonight I thought I would write a post about a vintage teddy bear. Well,I've been collecting plush bears for a few years now,and I've amassed quite the collection! This certain teddy bear though,has a special place in this household!

This is my Mom's old teddy bear,that went by the name Pooh,named after the famous teddy bear,Winnie the Pooh. My mom has known this bear since the 1960's,and was shared throughout the household (she has two sisters and one brother). He must have went down a few rough roads,considering my mom and one of her sisters had to replace his paw pads! They were once tan,but are now light pink. My mom and I are confused as to how old he might be,though. We're pretty sure he was made before the 1960's,and we think he might be from the 1940's. My mom says he may have been given to her family from another family at the time,so that would mean he could be an older teddy bear. Anyway,I lent a hand at fixing him up,by sewing up his back and one of his ears. He is a very cute,handsome teddy bear,and he is welcome in with the other plushies in the house!  =) Oh,and here is a photo I took of the moon while I was taking these photos.

Bye!
