SHELDON & FRIENDS

So last year, I went into this store in the mall called Kitchen Collection looking for something for a gift and when I went to check out, there was a tray for these little bears. 

I thought they were SO #CUTE! But then when I saw the price, it made me reconsider: $3.... for a lip balm?? IDK. 

I picked it up and put it back a few times and ultimately ended up buying it. 

My guy bestie helped me name him: #Sheldon (bestie had just been binging Big Bang Theory, I wasn’t ever personally a fan, no hard feelings just not my style). 

It started off more like a joke and has thus changed my whole life. 

When my siblings were younger, the school had them do a thing where they would carry around this paper doll called Flat Stanley and they had to take him everywhere. 

So that gave me the idea to do the same with Sheldon. The old commercial for Travelocity with the traveling gnome also gave me the idea 

So ever since September of 2019, Sheldon has been exploring and going on adventures and along the way he made some friends!

See them all here!  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10156252272127307&type=3 Sheldon’s friends are:

Biscochitaita AKA Tita -  she is a silicone change purse I bought for myself back in 2017 and she had gotten packed up in moving and I recently found her again after acquiring Sheldon and they have been inseparable ever since!

Decia the pug - she was given to me for Christmas by my neighbor and even though I would like to think of her as their pet, she is bigger than Sheldon! Maybe she’s channeling the big red dog...  

Speedy the turlte - We didn’t find Speedy, he found us. In my parking lot of my complex, my friend and I were coming out of his car when we saw him. 

I squealed and immediately grabbed him knowing our little family had just expanded. 

And so for the last month or so, all 4 having been trekking around, exploring, going on adventures and making memories!
