A box of llamas

Saturday: I received an ATC tag:

 It's actually not an ATC as it's on a project life card and is too big.
I put together a few things to mail out.
Destash:

 Die cuts:

 Fandoms: Star Wars

 I bought these socks awhile ago, hoping I could pass them on to someone that likes Star Wars.
SMS Cuddly:

 I've had this guy for awhile, got him in a scavenger hunt swap.
Sunday: I created an altered notebook for a swap:

 This turned out heavy, I had to send it priority, I ripped open the envelope at the post office and shoved it in a flat rate priority mail envelope. I knew it was heavy, but I didn't even think about putting it in a flat rate envelope, I'm not sure why. I saved $5 by changing envelopes.
Monday: was a great mail day. I got 7 items. First up was a trick or treat swap:

Basically a destash, fill a priority mail envelope with stuff.
What's in the Bo Bunny ephemera pack:

What's in the Maggie Holmes sticker set:

What's in the My Mind's Eye ephemera pack:

Second thing was a yellow crafting items swap:

We had to send at least 10 yellow crafting items.
Third was a mashup tag:

We had to send two sticker sheets and 8 washi samples.
Fourth was a wish of something Halloween

I like that she made a mini pocket letter
Fifth was a wish of tea and sticker flakes:

Those teas look very interesting.
Sixth was a wish of happy mail:

I like the ghost memo sheets, the washi strip stickers, the Hello Kitty paper pieces, the cactus stickers and the PDT stickers. Like I've said happy mail is always a toss-up.
and the last one was another happy mail wish:

This one I was less excited for, I like the stickers and the die cuts, but that was about it.
Tuesday: I didn't do much, no mail. I did get a llama tag ready to mail:

Wednesday: I got a box of llamas:

I was surprised the dish didn't break.
Sticky notes:

How cute are these? Not sure I'll be able to part with these either.
And a happy mail wish:

Also, not too excited about this one, I like the Halloween stickers.

Mummy Hello Kitty

Monday: I wanted to go shopping after work, but chose not to. Got a couple things in the mail.

A Gimmie Gimmie of sticker flakes, happy mail and something Halloween.

 It's OK, I like the stickers. I'm not sure why I asked for something Halloween, I don't even do anything for Halloween.
Large Coffee tag:

 This is cute.
Tuesday: I got some more things cleaned up. Put together a Trick or Treat swap:

 Basically we fill a Priority mail envelope full of stuff and mail it off to our partner.
I also made an ATC:

 No mail.
Wednesday: I quickly put together a Kawaii tag:

 Totally forgot about it Tuesday night. No mail on Wednesday.
Thursday: Put together a sticky notes tag:

 Got a surprise tag in the mail:

 Thought because it was a different group for the surprise tag, but I still am not impressed, another tag to cross off my list.
Convinced myself to go shopping later on. First stop, JoAnn's:

 Two Hello Kitty blind bags, some washi and some elephant beads. Spent about $7.
I was hoping to find some of the cute woodland stuff I had received with one of my fall critter paperclip swaps. I didn't find any. I did find out that all the clearance stuff had another 25% taken off of them.
My second stop was the Salvation Army, it was sad. It looked like they cleaned out. They took down a bunch of their bric-a-brac shelves and there was like nothing. I was disappointed and left.
My last stop was Hobby Lobby. Christmas was 50% off, Paper Studio was 50% off and Halloween was 40% off. I never understand that. Christmas is still 2 months away yet, it's still marked down more than Halloween, which is less than a week away.

 snowglobe stickers ($1), mini Santa ($1.50), gnome ($1.50), hot cocoa stickers ($1.25), starfish ornament ($1.50), hedge hog ($2) plaid fox ($2), mini wreaths ($2), Precious Moments angel ($4).
I thought the snowglobes were so cool. The hot cocoa stickers, I had received a few in a swap last year, now I can use them. I picked up the starfish, mini Santa, gnome and mini wreaths for swaps. I was looking at my pictures and noticed I'd already bought this gnome, I guess I have to use one in a swap now. The fox I bought for a friend, and the angel I bought for myself. Last year I got so excited when the angel figurine went down to 50% off, I love that they have ornaments that are the same as the figurines but half the price.

 Halloween bats ($1.50), unicorn keychains ($1.24), mermaid stickers ($1.50), fairy/unicorn stickers ($1.50), washi ($2.50), washi ($1), unicorn labels ($2.50), magnetic bookmarks ($1.50)
I just thought everything was cute. One of the YouTube channels I watch was saying that the whole sticker aisle was new, I agree there was a ton of new stickers, I can't believe I only bought 2 sheets. Total spent about $18
I put together more stuff when I got home. A favorite tag of holiday stickers:

 It ended up being probably a parcel when I got it all bundled up, so I threw it in a bubble envelope and added some washi and called it good.
A collectors tag of dragons:

 I was going to go with more, but thought I'd go flat, so just went with the stickers.
Collector's tag of owls:

 This was another reason I went flat with the dragons.
Yellow crafting items swap:

 this ended up being a parcel as well.
Finished my night by watching Identity.
Friday: I opened at the library, it was downtown trick or treat day, I love working these. I love seeing what people dress up as. One of my co-workers was giving me a hard time about not working next Thursday. I'm not giving up my day off to come see what people are dressing up as. Later I was out with another coworker and she mentioned that the one giving me grief wasn't even working on the 31st, so we were wondering why she was giving me such a hard time.
Anyways, we decided our favorite costume was a preying mantis.
My friend and I went shopping after work. First stop was Burger King for lunch, I had a pretzel king: a whopper with bacon and pretzel burger. I thought it was really good, even better than the one my mom likes at one of the more expensive burger places in town. I'm really a simple person, you don't need to spend a lot of money on my food to make me happy. I also got a cherry Surge, they had one of those cool Coke machines, and I just decided not to care. Afterwards we went to Dollar Tree:

 I got four bottles of that sparkling cider (I'd love to buy a case of it, it's so good), only one sheet of stickers, nothing really jumped out at me. I love the seafoam green in the pen packs, so I got two, I misplaced a pack of these same black gel pens, so I got another one. I got the Tums I needed and some pantyliners, and then realized I was supposed to get fuzzy socks when I got home. To be fair, I don't think they had any, but I didn't even think of it. Picked up the frog loofah for November.
Next up was Target. I saw these bags in the dollar spot:

 I almost bought the ones with the Typo, just because they had the typo.
Found this:

 Which would have been great for my brother or I,

 But it was $25, so I didn't pick it up.
What I did get:

 Lost kitties ($5), fuzzy llamas ($2), How to train your dragon ($3).
I really should stop going to Target, there's nothing I need, and if there is it's probably a couple cents cheaper at Walmart, which is right next door.
Our last stop was JoAnn's:

I wanted a couple more of the Hello Kitty blind bags, and I picked up a cake pop cutie as well. The dinosaur and mummy were Thursday's purchases, I like the cowgirl, not too excited about the princess, but I like having a collection of Hello Kitty.
I wish I had chosen Fresh Thyme as our last stop, maybe I can convince my other friend to go next week. It's closing down and pricing everything out. I still have to go back down there to Walmart, I know this friend doesn't like Walmart, so I didn't push.
I should have gone with my original plan to ask if she wanted to go to the mall, we could have checked out some other stores I haven't been to in awhile.
No mail today either. :(

Truffalo Trees

Wednesday: It took me forever to get dressed and out to the post office. I spent a bunch of money cause I had a ton to mail out. I stopped by Everts on the way home, even though I said I wouldn't. They have 20% off their home decor on Wednesdays, I saw this little guy when I ordered the flowers and it was the only thing I wanted to buy in the store:

 Splurged a little at the grocery store as there were dumplings and pizza on sale.
I found my purple swap in the mail:

 I like the unicorn calendar and the notebook. I passed the face mask on to a friend and will pass the bath bombs on. I used the sticker in my mail journal.
Thursday: I didn't go out. I was originally going to go shopping as there are a few things I need, but I just didn't feel like dealing with the world.
Friday: I didn't have to be at work until 2, so I stopped at an estate sale on my way in. I found these weird guys:

 And his buddy:

 And this Bert, not sure if it's knitted or crocheted, but how cool is he?

 This is what I picked up:

 Those things on picks made me think of truffalo trees from The Lorax, my friend saw the tops of them and asked if I had Trolls.

I picked up the creamer for a friend, the Santa for my mom and the rest for me.
I found some mail when I got home.
Autumn Happy Mail:

Other than the stickers and the Pilgrim, I'm not sure how this fits with the autumn thing. The stickers at the top were scented, and they were very scented. I took the Kit Kats to work.
Halloween pocket letter:

And the goodies:

Pretty cute.
A secret sister swap:

I had said my favorites were: anything cute, paper crafting supplies, chocolate, hot chocolate. My partner did pretty well with matching my favorites, I had also mentioned vintage stuff. I wish it didn't seem like they went to Walmart and Dollar Tree to shop. I could and have bought most of this stuff before. I think I'm going back to just tags, not the large secret sister swap.
Saturday: My plans fell through to go to church fairs with a friend, so I ended up going late with my mom. It was ok, less stuff to buy.
First church:

seasoned crackers, mysterious bread (I could see M&Ms in it), peanut butter chocolate brownies.
Second church:

a could cute ornaments, some sticky notes, rice crispy treats, lemon bars, almond bars. The almond bars were not as great as I thought they would be, so I took them to work.
Last church:

By this time, it was close to noon, so we had lunch of chicken noodle soup and an egg salad sandwich. A bag of magnets, cornflake blobs, some cards, a tiny ghost, more magnets and some flat marbles. I turned the flat marbles into magnets.
The bag of magnets:

I picked the bag up solely for that green face in the middle, it reminded me of Slimer.
I did receive a SMS blue in the mail:

It's cute, but I don't wear necklaces.
