Pooh and buds

My mom and I went bowling at a local casino with a friend from work and her friend. It was really fun. In the Arcade area we came across a little kid machine that sold little toys for $1. They had this cute Peek-a-Pooh Zodiac set. Another cool thing about these is that pooh comes out of the costume! You can mix and match the various faces and even the various friends in the different skins.

I put my money in the machine and actually got my sign!




My mom wanted to try to get her sign...Libra but got another sign instead and the machine was being very difficult..not wanting to accept our money! So we just gave up.


In the container it came in, it showed another collectors set that the machine didn't have and she liked this one best.





I wouldn't mind having this one


The little paper it came with also had a website which I thought would allow us to buy the ones we wanted. Unfortunately it was only for businesses that want to buy their machines with various toy collections. So..I did a search and it led me to EBay...of Course! So...I actually bought the whole Zodiac set and the whole Peek-A-Pooh Series 9 where they are all in their little friend's skins. I figured I could give the ones I don't want to friends and family. This was my first time ever buying anything from EBay. Hopefully this will be a good experience.


Another pooh series had a cute garden gnome but I didn't really like the rest of the series but at least I have the picture.






Chicken Poop!

I was at Walgreens last week and I found this really odd lip balm. Only bought it for the name and haven't opened it yet because I am afraid!





More Socks!

I really enjoy knitting socks! It is fun. I just made another pair this time for my mom. They are acrylic though which sucks but I love the patterns the yarn produced. I followed the same sock pattern as the other socks. Maybe when I get more sock yarn I will try a different sock pattern. These were made the correct size thankfully. The pink socks I knitted were HUGE!!




My New Phone

Here is my own picture of my new phone. I found an AWESOME skull background through one of the "Get it Now" applications. I also have it showing me Sydney, Australia time along with my current time.
