Blogmas Day 15: Throwback Thursday- The Manger Scene

Another thing I liked when I was little was the Manger scene my parents had... because I liked playing with it! I'm sure a lot of kids do this, even if its not toys... we'll play with whatever lol.

And I kind of wonder... what I did because I didn't really know the story of Jesus that well. I knew he was a baby and the 3 Kings traveled to bring him presents... didn't know much else... so I'm curious.

We had a lot of angels in there that I don't think went with the manger... but I guess my mom put them there I guess because it kinda went. I'm not sure... anyway those were my favorites because they looked kind of like dolls or little girls. I think I broke one... we still keep it in there though.

And then when we got my first dog Lucky... we put it inside our glass cabinets because we thought that Lucky would get it... and now we have another little dog that will get anything in his path... but yeah. It looks nicer now. Sometimes we put it underneath the little tree that we put upstairs now and that looks really nice. I'm kind of a stickler for tree decorating... to say the least, and that looked really nice. Although we did also have a John Belushi ornament from Animal House in there too... but that just makes me laugh.

Speaking of scenes, last year I did a winter scene downstairs. We were going to put the extra decorations that don't fit in the glass cabinets... but they didn't really fit that well and we had this table out anyway for decorations... so I did like a winter scene on there and my mom liked it... so we kept it there. And it was nice! Everyone liked it, I liked it... again, huge stickler for decorating and I was happy with it!

So yeah... random tangent, I'm just excited to decorate.

Hope everyone is equally excited about decorating. I think they do actually make toy mangers now, so that might be a good thing if you wanted a manger and you have kids or grandkids because... its just dolls to kids. Lol.

Hope you liked this little story!

Byee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
