Dollar Tree Bargains

May 20, 2010 by Aliesha

Thought I would share a few of my Dollar Tree finds this week! Most of it is normal, everyday stuff, but we enjoyed the great deals!

– two boxes of all-occasion cards (birthday, thank you, thinking of you, blank) with 10 cards each (just $.10 a card!)
– bamboo stakes for the peas in my garden
– travel set (four empty containers and a loofah) for my husband to use when we travel
– shampoo and body wash for my husband
– zip top bags in gallon, quart, and sandwich sizes
– Father’s Day cards ($.50 each)
– 30 sheets of brightly colored tissue paper (I like to keep gift-wrapping supplies on hand…more about that here)
– shoe-shining kit so I can shine my husband’s church shoes
– a blue and white ringer tee for my husband (had a tag on it from another store that said $10)
– supplies to make a floral headband… pics of the project here
– a great tote bag (I’m going to use it for library books!)What have you found for just $1 recently?

Easy Kitchen Art

April 27, 2010 by Aliesha

As I mentioned in my post last night, I spent a little time working on an art project for the kitchen. I cut scrapbooking paper to fit the inside of these acrylic box frames (they stick out from the wall about an inch), popped the paper in, put the back on, stuck a few nails in the wall, and hung them up! The project took ten whole minutes, and that includes the time I spent hammering nails. The cost was minimal as well, since the frames were on clearance for $.79 each. The paper was $.99/sheet, which I thought was kind of expensive for scrapbooking paper, but I used less than 1/4 of each sheet, so I have lots leftover for card making or other projects.

Totally easy project! Now I don’t have to look at a blank wall while I wash dishes! And, if I get tired of this “look,” I can easily swap out the paper for something else (pictures, other paper, quotes, Bible verses, etc.). Fun!
