Don't ya just love the dollar store? We just got back from a little family excursion (minus husband). The kids each got to take one of their dollars and pick something out. This is like the best thing ever, because we don't let them spend their money very often...we make 'em save it!
Cowgirl was super excited, because she has been looking for a hula hoop ALL. SUMMER. LONG! They are always sold out whenever we are at any store that carries them. Anyway...we go down the first aisle at the DT and whadayaknow? There's a whole big box of hula hoops in various colors and sizes! She keeps telling everyone it was a miracle from Heaven!
Pixie found a lovely (not) bright orange hair piece connected to a headband. It even has long sparkly strands of tinsel throughout! She looks well...there are no words.
Monkey picked a fabulous pair ofplastic glass slippers, with a huge beautiful bow and jewel in the middle. She put them on imediately upon walking into our house!
Bookworm spent his dollar on....wait for it... a freakin' package of Red Vines! Yes, I'm serious.
But enough about them. What you really want to know is what I found, right? I thought so.
Look at all these goodies I found for the projects I have in mind for Heidi's Monthly Craft Challenge, and also my Fall giveaway.
I've decided to put together a bundle of fall themed items, hand made. By me. For you. How does that sound? I'll be revealing the package and announcing my giveaway when I link up my project to Heidi's party on October 1, so make sure to stop by and see what's in store!
Look at these! I nearly squealed out loud when I saw these beauties ...a 10 pack. They're HUGE, and delicately thin, and gorgeous! I'm not sure exactly how I'll use them, but I have some ideas a churnin'!
How about you? Do you love the Dollar Tree? What treasures have you found there?

P.S. You are so sweet to come by my blog and leave cute comments! Thanks!
The only thing I like about our Dollar Tree is leaving! It's nasty!
Love the fall/Halloween look, I almost didnt know what blog I was on!
Did you know they have batteries there? Sometimes they will have an 8 pack of AA's!! Now that is a deal.
I have found so many goodies there!
We used to decorate our desks at work and I got all my stuff for the holidays at DT! I once got this fall leaf garlant, it's so cool, I still have it!
Or this one time I got all these stickers and stuff like scrapbooking paper and everything and this one time...well, I should stop. But, seriously, this one time I got these air fresherner thingies and they smell SO good.
And the boys LOVE getting to spend a dollar on whatever they want! Sometimes they have good books for a buck too! And everytime I go there I call my mom and tell her what I got and I always say, "and it was only a buck!" like she doesn't know the DT is only a buck. Duh.
Everything is going great here and I hope for you all as well.
You are found some good buys! I need to stop by our Dollar Tree soon.
Have a wonderful Labor Day.
