Tell me you have heard of a "Shopkin..."

Well, if you haven't... let me tell you... they are all the rage right now for little girls.




This is what Juliette wanted for Christmas. She was so thrilled to receive them. 

They are carefully stored in one of three places... a jewelry box which Santa brought her...

Oh so you ask wouldn't jewelry go in that nice big box? Well Juliette was sure Santa knew just what he was doing and sent her instead a PERFECT box for her Shopkins.

I gently tried to encourage some other ideas after this huge jewelry box was traveling daily in the car to school, to Tessa and Doh's house, to visit Ms. Louise next door and to sit next to Mr. Laudas her piano teacher.

I went to kiss her goodnight this evening and she had even tucked the Shopkins and the jewelry box right into bed with her.




She added a nice label so everyone would know.... 
"For toys and More"


We found a more functional sized tin which she will sometimes use depending on the day and the quantity she is lugging around. This evening the tin filled with several Shopkins slept beside her pillow.

Her Daddy has lovingly given these things names.... "Dumb-kins" and "Junk-Kins"....


And the party always ends with a road trip! The Shopkins need to visit "Lanta" (Atlanta). The dodg collars and leashes are strapped on Caroline. Tripp is getting himself lassoed and has Tyler hanging on for his life in the Mickey chair. The other leash is for the wooden house in tow filled with the Shopkins in it. They tend to travel like a band of Gypsies. They hook everyone on, head South and see what new adventure the ride takes them on!

Bon Voyage! (and hang on poor Tyler)
