Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Ornaments -Thrift Store Find & Barbie Christmas in July 2023

Ack!!! I stopped by the thrift store and they were just beginning to set-up for Christmas in July. I've  always wanted to make an ornament to commemorate St. Nicholas Foles and the Super Bowl... Now I don't have to:@) Yep, I found both Nick and Zach Ertz for, are you ready??? $2.12 an ornament-love it! The balls are clear with midnight green glitter on the inside (even though they look opaque in this pic). That silver swirl is gorgeous glitter too. They are oversized and substantial at 5" x 3.5". 

Nick is already on my 4 for 4 sports tree in the livingroom...

For now, Zach is tucked away in the box I add Christmas gifts to all year... We'll see if he stays there😉

Fully gift boxed with letter of authentication

and NFL Licensing.

Really special for true sports fans:@)

Barbie's Summer Vacation 2023: One of the biggest reasons Barbie and Ken decided to go on vacation in July was, the resort had some Christmas in July festivities planned. And it wouldn't be Christmas without hot cocoa, but with temps hovering in the 80's (and above), it needed to have a little twist... Frozen Hot Chocolate was served all over the island, and it was a big hit:@) Every server had his own recipe or twist, and the little huts were hopping! Some wanted whipped cream on top, some marshmallows...

Ut-oh...

Looks like ~someone~ else is on vaca too...

Look closely,

I'm telling you folks,

he's everywhere!!!
