Angel Tree

Sooo, I had an awesome weekend! I went to the mall on Saturday! That was loads of fun. I got two really pretty head bands, a Christmas tree neckleace, and a Labyrinth t shirt!!!! YAY!!!

I also got some Angel Tree cards with the kids that I am gonna shop around for, so they can have some Christmas presents. Here they are:



Girl 1: Age 4, wants age appropriate books. +
Boy 1: Age 4, wants a stuffed animal. +
Girl 2: Age 4, wants a winter coat or jacket, size 6X.
Girl 3: Age 3, wants a winter outfit (likes purple), size 4 or 4T.
Girl 4: Age 5, wants the Tinkerbell movie.
Girl 5: Age 1, wants a stuffed animal (teddy bear). +
Girl 6: Age 5, wants a baby doll. +



Yeah, that's 7 in all. Crap I guess I got too much, being that so far my Angel Tree fund is $35. But I wanna help these little kids! They need my help, and I will help them. But dang, finding prices that are actually priced at a good price *cough not Walmart cough though they think they are cough* is like findin' a needle in a haystack. Or hay in a needlestack. Lol not the second one, none of this is hurting me, and I just wanna help.

My sister got 2 of the Angel Tree thingies also.

On Sunday, we went to the park and played there for a little while. After that we went to the bookstore and got some books for the little girl that wants books. Luckily, we ran into one of I guess I would say alma mater teachers at the store and she had some books she was gonna take to the school and found them in the free bin and they were in good condition so she gave them to me and I bought some books and now have a bunch of books for each kid to get at least 1 and the one that wanted books to get several. That is good.
Yesterday night I looked thru my closet and found 2 stuffed animals with tags still on them and in good condition. A horse is for boy #1 and a bear is for girl #6.
Today I went to a thrift store after school to look for clothes for girl #3 and possibly girl #2 but alas, there wasn't anything there that worked. BUT, we went to Big Lots afterwards and I still didn't find those things, but I did find baby dolls for 5 bucks and bought a couple of them. I got one for girl #6 since that is what she wanted, and the other for girl #3. Just clothes is not enough, no little kid, especially not a 3 year old would want just clothes. Hers is in purple because that is her favorite color, and girl #6's is in pink. Both dolls are very nice and I know I would have liked them if I were younger. Actually I still would like them.

Anyway, this means I have gotten 4 kids down, 3 to go. YAY!!! This is good, but I don't have very much money. I started with $35 and that isn't much to start with. Now I only have $21.51 left. But I also used some other money when I got books because I made other purchases and only used part of the Angel Tree fund. I still need to get the Tinkerbell movie and a winter coat, plus a winter outfit.

Ugh, this is a handful! But I like it.
