Blogmas Day 8: Throwback Thursday- The Answering Machine Ornament

So my favorite favorite favorite ornament when I was little... and still now, even though we don't plug it in anymore to make it make noise... was an ornament that was a little mouse on Santa's answering machine! It had a button you could press and it had Santa saying "Hello, I'm off packing my sleigh right now but you can leave a message. Wait for the jingle bells!" Or something along those lines.

I'm not sure why, but I loved that one the best! We had other fun buttons to push, but that was the one I would always go to! I think it was the easiest to push and maybe the easiest for me to reach on the tree... my mom moved it closer to my side because I loved it so much!

I also like the simplicity of it. It isn't from a movie or anything... but its just got this mouse on it and its Santa's voice on the answering machine and that is just special!

So yeah... it isn't the prettiest ornament or the fanciest... but it was definitely always the most fun! And its a fun Christmas memory and I still always love putting it up on the tree! I'm definitely going to get a lot of push-button ornaments for my own tree when I have a family because they are just fun!

Hope you guys liked this fun little memory... I have another one for next week too because there were more Christmas decorations that I just kind of used as toys. Lol.

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
