Kitchen on a Buy!!

Daisy will be 17 months old, on Christmas Day. I'm a little unsure, of what to buy her. You know, for Christmas. I want Daisy to have some big presents. Something special from Santa.

Well, Anna Marie and I, went shopping last week. We went to pick up some things to donate. A local "safe house" for kids, asks for donations every year. They collect small things like crayons, bubbles, clay, small toys, that sort of thing. A bunch of ladies, make stockings. Then they are stuffed with all the donations.

When I went to college, our department always collected donations. Since graduation, I've always bought and donated stuff. It's important. These are kids that are neglected, taken from their families, or abused. They need some love. And $50, isn't going to break us. But it sure will put a big smile, on some kids faces. :)

While we were getting all our things together, I saw this little kitchenette. For $20. But we were there for the kiddos. Not for my Christmas shopping. A few days later, Greg and I were talking. About what we were going to get Daisy for Christmas.

I told him, eventually I'd like to get Daisy a set like this. But right now, I just think that it's too much. I mean, she's only a year and 4 months old! That's when I remembered this little treasure. In Family Dollar!



Greg went to buy it the next day! The stack of 20 that I had seen, were almost gone! There was only 4 left. But we got one for our little girl. Best of all, it's American made!! We've been trying to buy American made, for all our holiday gifts.

It only took Greg about an hour, start to finish, to put together. Then we realized, we need to hide it! For a few weeks. Currently, it's tucked away in our Guest Room closet. That's the other thing that I love, it's not too big! After Christmas, we might just put Daisy's little kitchen, in the family room. Instead of her playroom. ☼

The Land of Walgreen's

Last week, I spotted the Walgreen's sale, in the newspaper. My hubby reads the newspaper. I read the sales. :) I noticed how there was going to be a HUGE toy sale. Score!! We've have lots of kiddos to buy for. Christmas is just around the corner.

I managed to sneak out of my in-laws house for an hour. Before I knew it, I was in the middle of a crazy sale. Everyone was trying to get the toys, that were on the great deal! I had my list in hand, called Greg about 5 times, and was happy when my basket was full! :)

Quickly, I was sad again. The line was crazy long!! Not the time, when there are that many people shopping. Only 1 register was open, at the front. I was patient. Read the latest Style Watch. Picked up 2 dolls for Daisy. Waited. Waited. And waited some more.

Finally, the register in the beauty department opened up. And I was the 2nd in line. :) While I was waiting on the lady in front of me, who was buying some perfume, I spotted the Sinful Colors nail polish. I really don't need more nail polish. But I had no self control!



I spotted Let's Meet. An almost mustard color. Just a little darker, than in this picture. I've been looking for a nice yellow nail polish. For a while now. But all I could find, was neon colors. Not what I'm into. Let's Meet, is a keeper! Especially at $1 a bottle!! Yes, it was on sale too. :) Now, I'm just on the hunt, for the perfect summer yellow. Something bright and fun! ☼
