Dollar Days

I did a little shopping last week at all the great new dollar items the stores are putting out.

Micheals is just over run with really great stuff!

On my first trip I grabbed these goodies. File folders, note pads, stamps, and “L” items! I think I will have lots of L’s around for a while.

They also had this

Packing tape! They have lots of others too. But how fun! I don’t have a great idea yet but I will do something fun I know!

Then a run in the Dollar Tree I found these

What lovely file folders!!

Roses and Peonies!

And Pink!!

This sweet little one (apx 7” x 11”) is headed for a redo. Unless I’m hit with another inspiration it will be pink. I cannot decide if it will be paint, fabric or paper, but it will be pink!

I have been nursing my head cold so I did not get any projects started this weekend. I am saving my strength for work next week. I hope we will back up at full speed and with full staff.

Hugs, Lisa

  11. This is too funny! was at Michaels the other day and had those files in my hand, the two tone pink ones! I also had a notepad and I saw the tape there too. I ended up putting everything back but a stamp of a chandelier for $1. I still had thrift store shopping to do and was watching my budget, good thing too since I found some goodies there. I may have to make a trip back to Michaels, those files are calling my name!

  19. Lisa...I do hope you are so much better now! It must be wonderful to have stores nearby! You have such lovely finds. I really like the file folders. It would make it so much happier to do all that biz filing that follows tax prep which I must start soon.
