Thursday Thanks

• Great days at work.
• Fabulous customers.
• Customers doing random acts of kindness for other customers.  Such a beautiful thing to see happen.

My Town & Country

I'm VERY excited to have the first 9 blocks of my Town & Country quilt completed.  It's taken a little bit of time to do as there are rather a lot of sky scrapers & bits in there.  But I'm really pleased with it.  I love this pattern as each round you complete you are able to add it on to your quilt so you don't have loads of squares waiting for assembly.  Progress is fabulous!

Now to work on the next round or squares.

Thursday Thanks

Snoopy

With the new Snoopy movie out it was inevitable that McDonald's put out new Snoopy toys.  

Inevitable then that I had to go to McDonald's to get them.  

Inevitable then that I had to get out all my old Snoopy's that the boys have never seen.  

11 large Occupation Snoopy's.

56 small World Snoopy's.

A couple of little ones that are phone hang tags & one was a Kinder surprise egg I think.  

Boys excited to see, but not really "play" with mum's collection.  I'm a bit sad at how the faces are yellowing on a few.  

Anyway, I have 3 new ones to add to the collection & will frequent Macca's once again for the new toys.  Toys bought but no Happy Meals I might add.  Yes you can buy the toys without the food.  Thank heavens.  I remember when the first series of 21 World Snoopys came out, they were with a cheese burger only.  But 21 days of cheeseburgers was pretty awful.  My brother & I did it though.  Never again...  

I can't remember what the second set entailed & I also managed to get a few of the overseas ones on Ebay to complete the sets.   There were a few overseas ones that were in the USA or Europe that we didn't have released in Australia.  

Now they are all freshly packed in a new box & put away again.  

Thursday Thanks on Friday
