Disney Tsum Tsums Backpack

Oh my gosh!  Did you see this new Disney Tsum Tsums backpack they have at Entertainment Earth?  I pretty much want to buy everything there, but this is so cute!  It's pretty close to my birthday, it could still count as a gift for myself, right?

Disneyland Pin Trading Haul ~ VIDEOS

I just got back from a Disneyland trip and I had a great time Disney Pin Trading!  It's so much fun and they have lots of cute pins.  I also did a video of all of the fun stuff my mom got at the parks as well.

Lisa Frank Sticker Album FULL of Stickers ! ~ VIDEO

Oh my goodness, I loved stickers!  I was obsessed with them in elementary school.  I would spend an hour at the mall just trying to figure out which stickers to buy with my dollar.  Maybe even longer.  I got accused of shop lifting on more than one occasion because I was there for so long.  I never stole even one ten cent sticker though!

Avon Sweet Pickles Hygiene Books ~ Hairy & Soapy ~ VIDEO

I just loved the Sweet Pickles.  Those were some of my favorite story books to read and I still have some of those original books.  "Very Worried Walrus", "Fixed By Camel" and "Stork Spills the Beans".  Did you ever have these books?  Which was your favorite?

Baby Alive by Kenner Comic Book Advertisement 1974

Baby Alive Ad from 1974 Comic Book

As a child of the 70's Baby Alive was well known to me.  I had a used one which got ruined when I fed her real food that went rotten inside her.  Yuck!

Disney Cars Precision Radiator Springs Model Complete Setup at DCA

Walking around Cars Land in Disney California Adventure, I came across the entire model miniature set of Radiator Springs.  The set is by Mattel Precision and it looks fantastic!  It is about the size of a Christmas Village display and lights up.

Vintage Strawberry Shortcake Collection - Rag Dolls, Plush and Cut & Sew Dolls ~ VIDEO

Cutie rag dolls and plush.  I love the giant rag dolls that Claire's came out with about 10 years ago!  They are so awesome! Especially the Sour Grapes and Purple Pieman.  Those are about 4 feet tall and totally rad!

ESTATE SALE HAUL - Avon Bottles - These are pretty interesting! ~ VIDEO

There are some pretty awesome items on this video.  I love finding these old Avon bottles but not that many people collect them.  I don't know why, they are pretty fun.  

Doesn't my kitty cat look just like Mrs. Norris from Harry Potter?  That's her name!

Go on a Goonie Adventure on your Kitchen Table

 Some folks have created a Goonies themed adventure card game.  If you're a Goonie and love card/table games, check it out.  It looks like fun.

Pre Teen Troll Dolls with Curvy Chests! WEIRD! ~ VIDEO

This trolls are strange!  They are a lot taller than normal trolls and they have jointed arms and legs, and the girls have boobs!  I just thought that was super weird for troll dolls.  Interestingly enough, they don't have the regular real shapely Troll butt.  I guess they thought that would be too much? They are called Fashion Tracey and they have all kinds of different outfits.

Do you watch The Outsiders on WGN?

Like many other channels, WGN has started making some of their own shows. One of those shows is called, "The Outsiders".  The show is about a clan living in the hills in Kentucky.  They don't live in the modern world, but a mining company wants to force them off of their mountain.  It's pretty interesting and very entertaining.  The show stars Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy) who plays Little Foster, David Morse who plays Big Foster, and Kyle Gallner who play Hasil Farrell.

My sister has made a Hasil Farrell doll and he is currently for sale on Etsy.

She-Ra is Coming Your Way!

My sister loved She-Ra and I am sure she was pretty excited with the prospect of She-Ra getting her own show.  Did they really think they would get boys to watch because of "Guest appearances by HE-MAN." ?  That girl can do her own fighting!

Thingmaker Fighting Men by Mattel ~ VIDEO

I found another ThingMaker!  I can't believe it.  This one is called Fighting Men and it makes army men and 40 accessories to go with the army men.  It's a pretty cool set.  I wish I had the Plastigoop needed to put these together.  The more I see of these sets, the more I like them.  I would have been the kind of kid who spent hours making all of the items and then never actually played with them, just made more and more.

Plus, here's the toy catalog that came with it.  I want the fright factory set.  Hey Mom, look at my new shrunken head!

Also, see the video for the fun flowers set and the fully scanned instruction book that goes with it.

Strawberry Shortcake Clip Art Mania ~ VIDEO

I haven't been able to figure out all of my hosting stuff to fix the website pages, but I have been making some videos.  Just in case you were missing all of those lovely Strawberry Shortcake images!

I've got 7 parts so far, but there will be more to come!

Would people think it's weird if I pulled one of these out at lunch?
No, they've met me.

Check out their fun track suits! Well, at least Donald has a track jacket on.  He cannot  will not be held down by the constraints of pants!
