Frugal Finds!

Hey Gang!

I am working on my Halloween diorama. I plan to use the haunted house I bought from Aldi as the central feature.  I need to add a few other things. I found most of these at Walmart, but I got one thing from Five Below.

I love these mini chalkboard tombstones from Walmart.  They weren't in my store. Someone from FB posted a link on how to find them online. They were $6.97!  Here is the link for them.

Here they are out of the wrapping. The package includes eight tombstones.

There is chalk also.

George is helping me out here with the scale.

They are embossed on the front, and the back is flat.

I might paint these edges so they blend in.

Next up is this Hopping Toy ghost. 

It and the tombstones look a lot like the items on the haunted house. The store had plenty of these cheaper items.

You can see that it winds up in the back. I think I might have the same problem with these as I have with the singing doll. They will go off in the middle of the night. The cost is on the item.

No haunted house is complete without skeletons! I found this unicore skeleton at Walmart. It was $1.00.

It isn't 1/6 scale, but it will work for what I have in mind.

You can use this bag of skulls in many ways! They are a great prop. 

This isn't my best photo.  I hope you can see this skeleton. I have seen many skeletons over the years. 

Many aren't 12 inches or articulated. Very few glow in the dark. 

I have a few more things coming, and I need to customize some to get them the way I want.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Holiday Ornaments! Sweaters And More!

 Hey Gang!

I was able to purchase only one holiday ornament sweater from the Target store! My local only had the white sweater with the gold tree on it.

I don't think it is as nice as the one from last year!  I really wanted some of there others that were available.

I was able to get a few ornament sweaters from Kohl's. I think some of these might be pride sweaters because they all have rainbows on them or are rainbow-knit.

The back of them is plain. So you can wear them backward if you want.

They are smaller than the sweaters from last year.

They are smaller than the sweaters from Target.

They seem a better fit for a teen like Skipper or Stacie.

I had to purchase the Target ornament sweaters on eBay!😒I don't want to say what I paid.

I just noticed that there is a theme with the colored sweaters!

Snowman, Santa, Tree, and Deer!

These sweaters are from a few years back.

Quick Post!

 Hey Gang,

I wanted to show you what I got at Target that I plan to use for my dolls!

Jackets and 

You can open it with a blow dryer. It has a great hanger too. The skis can be used as decoration!

I need to get some of the glue residue off the jacket.  I used a pencil to help open the sleeves.

I would put plastic over the hands so that they don't snag the jacket when putting it on.

sweaters!

Christmas Tree

This years Snow Flake is much better than the one from a few years back!

Old snow flake sweaters!

I remove the emborder on flake for Trisha.

Animal stuffed pillows ornaments! I purchased pillows a few years back but I didn't get all the ones that I wanted and they were sold out when I can back.  I got these this year.

These Christmas ornament ball may not be 1/6 but I think I can use them!

Animals! I can never have enough deer.

My purchase from Walmart is a Santa Jacket.

On Shane!

From Dollar Tree is a African American Skating Santa.

Fresh Dolls Go On Sale At Walmart!

 Hey Gang!

So I have seen some posts on Facebook but when I went into my own Walmart the Fresh Dolls were on sale! The only fashions that I saw was this one and I purchased it.

And at $2.00 why not!

Her are some of the dolls that were left to purchase for $6.50!

I purchase this one for the body and the clothes.  I don't like the head size of these dolls.  If they are still there when I go back, I will get the one in the gold dress too!

I am not sure if they are being discontinued or what but I was surprised to see them at this price.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
