Halloween pocket letters

Sunday: I made a couple Halloween pocket letters:
I love the monster stickers I used.
This one was supposed to have at least 2 layers:

I also made a my choice card. 
I found the sunflower when I was going through my fall stuff and I thought the papers went with it well.
 Monday: I received some bling ATCs in the mail:
A penpal letter:
An altered canvas:
It's so cute. I wish i had a good place to display it.
I also noticed how many pens I have. I don't think I'll have to buy any for a few years.
I'm very tired of Blogger rearranging my pictures, but I'm too tired to put them back in the right order.
I received a back to school pocket letter with matching bookmark. Here's the bookmark and the goodies:
I'm not too pleased with the goodies, they were supposed to be back to school themed. I guess you could say one of the sequins mixes goes with the bookmark. There were a couple pieces in the punch pack and the sticker pack, but it seemed like they weren't put in there intentionally.
And the pocket letter. 
I went shopping that day as well. I went to TJ Maxx:
Blume doll (5), ghost notepad (3) and a sticker book (6). I feel they don't really know what some things sell for. The Blume doll said compared to $7, I have never seen this less than $10 except at five below. I decided I'd use the ghost for all my tag inserts for everything now until Halloween. I got really excited about the sticker book, it's so cute, it also has metallic acetate stickers in it.
Next up was Walmart:
Four Cosmic Candy hatchimals (3 each), a minions mashem (3), pumpkin pie Kit Kats (3), Witch's Brew Kit Kats (3), leggings (5), and some monster stickers (1).
I love these hatchimals, I'm not a big fan of regular Hatchimals, but I'm really loving these. I should have picked up more than one Mash'em, there are 6 Minions and Gru and of course I got Gru. I couldn't resist the Kit Kats, the pumpkin pie ones are ok, the Witch's Brew are marshmallow flavored and light green in color, very good. 
Tuesday: I received an SMS happy:

Sadly, I really don't like Skittles, so not happy for me, they ended up at work.
I sent off a Grant a wish tag:
Glitter Gel Pens were in their wish list, now I have one less pen pack.
I had taken vacation on Tuesday and Wednesday, because I've got too much again. I didn't do anything special (what can you really do right now), I did return a lot of books when I went back on Thursday.
Thursday: I received a free theme card in the mail:
I like this technique, plus you can use it for whatever you like.
Also received a Halloween pocket letter:
Very cool. What I don't understand is, this was sent on the 15th from California, it arrived on the 17th. I'm waiting on a package sent on the 15th from Michigan (which is out for delivery, today, 9/19), another one one sent on the 14th from Pennsylvania (seems to be misplaced, last update was left PA on the 14th) and another one sent on the 15th from Oregon (which is also out for delivery, today, 9/19). It doesn't make any sense.
Friday: I received a new fit bit band, I ordered purple, which to me is more magenta. I ordered a small size, which is actually small. The original one I had, I was told was small, but I was on the last hole because they are rubber and stretch. This one I'm starting on the 6th hole, so I have plenty of room for it to stretch. I also received a refund check from my medical insurance. 
Saturday: I went to a couple garage sales and ended up walking 5 miles by 10AM. First stop:
A 2016 calendar, a quilted piece (1) and a sticker mix (3).
I really like that quilted piece, there were also some pillows with quilted pieces on them, but I don't have room for pillows. I don't know what I'm doing with this, but I can always stow it away somewhere until I have a place. I got a little too excited about the wooden tags in the sticker mix, not quite sure it was worth the $3.
This is the calendar, I picked it up for the pictures, but realized when I got home that the dates match up perfectly for 2021, so I'll just use it next year.
Next stop was a repeat sale of one I went to earlier in the year. This time they combined with another person and had clothes. I was just there for the scrapbooking stuff.
100 paper package (4), 40 sheet paper package (3), sticky notes (.50), owl stickers (.50), teapot stickers (.50). 
I'm a bit disappointed in the 100 paper package, all but that top sheet were stripey paper. I do not need 99 striped pages. They are all different color combinations and striped designs. I feel everything I make from now until at least the end of the year will have striped paper backgrounds. Any pocket letters I make will also have striped paper as the back. The 40 sheet package was better, it had a lot of fun patterns and quite a few foiled pieces.
The sticky notes:
I'm ready for a nap, now.
