I haven't posted since I went to Dollar Tree. Sunday at work, my buddy and I were in playful moods all day. He went and found him an elf hat and changed his name badge from Jonnie to Head Elf. Well, of course I no longer wanted to be Brenda so he made me one saying Mrs. Claus. Since we were already having a good day, we decided to have our photo made by the Stampede photo department. They did a great job.
Then they gave us a basket of snowballs to choose from and said to act like we were throwing them at the camera, but me and Jonnie being who we are decided he would act like he was throwing it at me since we are always having fun and picking on each other. Jonnie doctored it ups some and added some words and snowflakes and we have had over 70 friends like or comment on it on Facebook. They all know we like to have fun. It was a blast.
Monday I decided to do a trip to Dollar Tree and Target. Target has this $1 - $3 section and I scored a few good things for a dollar each. First was a 5 x 7 notebook that I can keep all my Christmas notes and Black Friday ads in. The pages don't have lines so it will be perfect for whatever I need to get me through the holidays.
I found this Washi tape for my Happy Planner December layouts. I'm going to work on them next week to plan my December.
This little shadow box sign was too cute. I have a display in mind on how to use it when I decorate for Christmas.
The kids always like a tree in their room at my house. Since it is a beach theme decor, I knew a regular little green tree wouldn't work. Then I found this sparkly one at Target. The color is like a shiny sea glass color. Now to find some beachy ornaments for them to decorate it with.
I did make a stop at Walmart and found this set of three bags that I fell in love with.
So I brought them home and stuffed them with fiber fill for an easy peasy craft. I love the way they turned out. I think I will put them under the tree.
I have been planning on buying letters to spell joy and painting them a washed out color. Target had them already the color I wanted for just a buck a piece. I came home and used a gold frame I already had and some fabric I bought last week and put it together with some little trim from my stock. I am so in love with this. Can't wait to hang it.
I stopped by Dollar Tree for a wreath, ribbon and balls. I got this and made another craft. It's not big and fluffy but where I want to hang it doesn't have room for big and fluffy so it is perfect. I had to check you tube on how to make a bow. It turned out okay.
The fabric is also for an ornament frame I am making. It was a brown frame but I wanted green so I got that painted Monday as well. I found some burlap for the background in a pale green so I got it instead of brown. Can't wait to do this one on my next day off.
It rained the entire day non-stop. When I got home that morning from shopping I put my warm jammies on with my reindeer socks and got warm before I started my crafting. Even managed to watch a Christmas movie and fix a good supper. It was a great way to spend my day off.
