Thanks! ❤️

Four tie bracelets in multi colored, cotton yarn. Each bracelet has two pointed peaks in the middle of the bracelet.

Another cat bracelet around my wrist. The tips of the cat ears each rest on either side of my wrist.

I’m helping my friend run a spring craft market, where I will also have a booth. Just learned how to crochet these cat ear outline bracelets. I’ve found I get a lot more sales when I sell small, cute, inexpensive items. Hoping these cat bracelets will be a success. #crochet

It’s never fun. I’m shocked that we’ve thrifted three of these games and they’ve always been complete.

Mic with wind blocker, headphones, audio balancer.

While out thrifting, we pulled these headphones, audio interface, and recording mic from the stocking cart for $36. All three items retail for $190. We’ll only keep the mic so I can do recordings for my students. The other two pieces we’ll sell to get our money back. #thrifting

So tempted to go into work early and print this in color.

Board games include: Super Vampires, A Little Wordy, Tetris, Wakanda Forever, Bears vs Babies, Small World of Warcraft, Concept, 49, Ticket To Ride New York, Superfight, King of the Jungle (x3), Scooby-Doo Escape Haunted Mansion, That’s a Question, Trial by Trolley, Enchanted Forest, Bohnanza, Nature Fluxx, Imposter, Flash Point, Settlers of Catan.

We’ve been thrifting the last two days and had quite a haul of board games. We thrifted 21 games (maybe more?) and spent around $75. Some games we were pretty excited to find at a thrift store. All games complete. #boardgames

I enjoyed the game, but not enough to keep it in my collection. It’s definitely one of the most creative word games I’ve ever played. I don’t regret paying the $3 to try the game.

A Little Wordy box, dry erase board, cards, and vowel bag.

Did some thrifting after work and got a decent haul of board games. We picked up A Little Wordy, a 2p game. It’s currently auditioning for our collection. #boardgames

Sanibel board game box, board (looks like a beach), shell tiles, and a player board to hold shells.

Went to my local FLGS and tried a game of Sanibel. If you like tile laying, this is a game for you. #boardgames

Cute, pirate themed game box, board game with pirate ship on it. Board surrounded by ingredients for tea time.

Trying Pirates of the High Teas, published by Pink Hawk Games. This is a recipe/order fulfillment game. #boardgames

Absent a HUGE math error (one that cost me close to 170 points), I enjoyed this game quite a bit more than the first try. It seems like a game that needs two play throughs to appreciate/understand the intricacies. #boardgames

I’m trying Compania again. Ngl, found myself bored pretty early on in the game. That’s often a sign I’ve missed something so I’m playing again. If a 2nd edition comes out, creator needs to work on a few graphics details. See alt text to learn more. #boardgames

The artwork is neat, but there is a questionable color choice. I’ll have to share more when I get done with game.

Compania board done in pinks, tans, oranges, and greens. Stacks of cards. Lots of dice. Wooden cubes.

Trying out Compania by Akase Yog. It’s worker placement, area control, and engine builder. My three favorite mechanics in one game (just add rondel, and I’m done for), say less. #boardgames

Madcala board game. Bases on Wonderland’s War. Insanity shards on plates at the Madhatter’s tea party.

Trying Madcala. I’ve never played Mancala so let’s see how this goes. #boardgames

I made a humbling mistake today. I thought I knew more abt dinosaurs than an autistic student whose special interest is dinosaurs. It did not work out for me. Then I had to explain to his mom my mistake bc the student was struggling w/his words, but rly wanted his mom to know.

My hubby introduced me to them a few months back. I was craving some new punk bands. These guys are hitting the spot.

The Paradox Scores Its First Billboard No. 1 With ‘Get the Message’ The Paradox's "Get the Message" reaches No. 1 on the Alternative Airplay chart, becoming the band's first Billboard ruler.

The Paradox is quickly becoming one of my new fav pop punk bands. I’m so happy for them rn. www.billboard.com/music/chart-...

I always love games that have trays that can be pulled out and used to hold bits while a game is in session.

You’re the second person to bring up the expansion component. I hadn’t even thought about sleeved cards, but I can definitely get behind that idea.

Agreed!

Compact board game box with components neatly stored.

I would like to propose a new board game award. It’s an award for best game box design. Meaning: 1) box/insert makes effective use of space, 2) components secure and protected, 3) overall aesthetic of box. @boardgamegeek.com You interested? #boardgames

Row 1: Cahoots, Landmarks, Monster Crunch! Row 2: Donner Dinner Party, Disney Sidekicks.

Here’s a thrift store round up of my board game haul for the week. #boardgames

Sign on glass door that that has circle with crossed out gun and knife. Under picture, text says: No Guns, Knives or weapons allowed on premises. Hubby’s text says: So ignoring the icon, without an Oxford comma, I think I can bring knives.

Hubby texted this to me. Thoughts?

Rusted front side of chrome colored metal. Thin metal with curve.

Backside of thin metal strip. Completely rusted over.

Someone who (likely) drives an old truck had a bad day and gave me a serious scare. Heard a thudding noise and then scraping. Pulled this hunk of metal out from under the driver side of my car.

Row 1: Atmosfear The DVD Board Game, Wicked The Game. Row 2: Hunt a Killer: Death at the Dive Bar, Happy Little Dinosaurs, Exit: Dead Man on the Orient Express, Over Under Ostrich.

Today, I cleared my paperwork to do list. I told hubby to take me thrifting. We only had time for one thrift store, but still managed to get a nice thrift store round up for $19. #boardgames

My district switched to a program that better prevents hacking and protects confidential paperwork from falling into the wrong hands. The program also tells me when families access IEP paperwork. It’s shockingly low number of parents, which is disheartening. #teaching

Brow binder with pictures of old school magic the gathering cards such as minotaur and angel.

We went thrifting and didn’t find too much. We did find this Magic the Gathering card binder from 1996. It seems to sell well online, but not sure hubby is willing to part with it. #MagictheGathering #boardgames

Two board game covers of Candy Land. 2014 edition is all white characters. 2021 edition has black, Asian, and white characters.

Spot the difference…#boardgames
