#CessieShops: Ballerina Nutcracker

I have a new nutcracker doll. Ang cute noh?

I bought my very first nutcracker in January 2014 and promised myself that I will start collecting these decorative Christmas figurines. Kaso nga hindi ko na nagawa. Budgetary constraints din kasi lol. I buy a lot of personal stuff na (clothes, bags, shoes, stationery, etc) kaya ubos na ang bala ko sa asawa ko. Hindi ko na majustisfy ang pagbili ng nutcrackers haha!

Anyway, I saw this ballerina nutcracker in Joann (Carson, California) last Sunday and I was drawn into it. Hindi ko talaga maiwan. Its original price was $24.99 pero 60% off kaya $9.99 na lang (plus tax, so USD10.93). Ayun, binili ko na kasi naalala ko ang dami-daming kong USD coins. Puro barya talaga ang pinambayad ko kalurkey!

I am excited na for Christmas! We won't be decorating our cramped place this season (I have no interest in beautifying a place that's not ours) but I'll buy a few Christmas pieces para ma-feel naman namin ang pasko kahit papano.  =)

Going nuts with nutcrackers

Whew, I couldn't contain my excitement. Why, it's only 99 more days before Christmas! Christmas mode na talaga ako haha! I was even listening to Christmas songs yesterday.

Anyway, I think I made up my mind. I am done with Santa Claus. I will now be collecting nutcrackers!

My interest in nutcrackers started last January 8, 2014 when I saw these "Nutcracker Fashionistas" at Shoppers Drug Mart in WEM. Haha, they look "ugly" and "gayish" I know but I was really drawn into them! I asked Ford to buy one for me (the one with the red bag and beanie) tutal sale naman.

Nutcrackers are not that "uso" in Pinas. This is my very first nutcracker item.

And then we were at Michaels (South Edmonton Common) just last Saturday. I found these nutcracker stuff in the $1.50-bin and I felt so happy! Gusto ko pala talaga ng nutcrackers!

Ayan, nagsisimula na naman ako! Sabi ng ni Pod, ang lahat ng equivalent ng ideas ko ay gastos haha! But what can I do, I have a manic tendency to collect anything and everything I fancy. It gives excitement in my boring life eh. But again, with limited budget (and now that I am about to become a mother), I know it will take time before I could build a nutcracker collection.
