St. Patrick's day gnomes

 February 13: Cold day again, I didn't go outside except to check the mail about 5:30, the high was in the single negative digits and the low in the double negative digits. We also had a wind advisory from 9pm that night until noon on Monday. I ended up watching movies all day, even though I was supposed to be sorting. 
I found 4 items in the mail. A Valentine's Day happy mail:

lots of fun stuff.
A Hearts tag:

see what I mean about stickers? That's 4 sheets of the same stickers, you couldn't at least send a variety?
A sticker bomb:

So very cute, also great it arrived in time for Valentine's Day.
The missing handmade embellishments:

I like them, I do find it ironic that one of them is not an embellishment, it's a pin to stop your glue bottle from clogging up, something I will never use for that purpose.
February 14: An unexciting day. I did open my gift to myself:
I was going for an avocado theme after seeing the stuffed avocados at Target on someone's shop with me video, but when I saw them in the store and the price, I decided against it. All the avocado stuff in here was from my stash: the plastic keychains from my recent Advent calendar, the stickers from a swap, the bag tag from Dollar Tree, the plush from Walmart, the felt one with the bow from Etsy, the crocheted one from a friend and the plush keychain from Dollar Tree, the avocado card I got in a swap.

The Minion squishies were from Walmart as is the Minion marshmallow. The dinosaur nightlight and marshmallow fries are from Target and the plush bears are from Dollar Tree. This is how you guarantee you'll like what you get, you just buy it for yourself, whether you're single or not.
I put together a red swap:

An infinity scarf, hat and pens from different swaps, the erasers and stickers from Target.
And I finally made my chocolate covered leftover Chex mix.

Every time I get Chex mix, I don't eat the Chex and pretzels that aren't covered in anything, usually I give them to a friend, but this time I thought I'd just make chocolate covered Chex and pretzels. 
Again I didn't go out because it was wicked cold. It was -11 and felt like -35, and it was Sunday, so I didn't even have to check the mail. I did get started on some sorting, it was a bit more than I was able to do and my feet got cold standing on the floor.
February 15: Had an all day staff training day, again wicked cold, was -11 and felt like -27, the high was -2. Got a ride to and from work. Had the hardest time figuring out what to wear, usually I get hot at work because I'm running around, this day, we basically sit all day, so I went with a sweater and still got cold. Took in a bunch of toys for people to occupy themselves with (also because people never picked them up from my reuse site) and one of my coworkers said she wanted what was left.
February 16: The high is 5 today, I'm excited. Read The 57 bus. I enjoy days where I get to read, it helps me with my day. Finished off the last of my food for lunch. I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow.
Put together a Red tag:

A wish for blue stickers:

A wish for something bee and mason jar:

A happy mail wish:

A wish of a surprise:

Found 6 items in the mailbox on my way to work. 
A hearts tag:

I really like the bags on the right.
A Valentine's Happy mail tag:

Lots of washi.
A happy mail tag:

I love the gummy bear stickers.
Another Valentine's Happy mail:

I had to do some research to see who and what group this was from.
A happy mail wish:

Beautiful handmade card.
And a wish for something gnome:

Another thing I had to hunt down, you'd think notes were really that hard.
