Amazing new shore finds from the Dollar Tree

I mentioned last week that the Dollar Tree had a Shore Living line that can't be missed.  I really mean it. I have not been this excited about a new line in quite awhile.   There are so many items that I want to buy.  They remind me of the vacation we took a few years ago along the lake shores of Lake Michigan. It was one of the best vacations I ever took, and I look forward to taking again. (you can see links the the posts with pictures below)

It is Friday night, and you know what that means.. 

It is time to Dare to Share! 

Happy Spring!

Has it felt like spring where you live yet?  We had a few 70 degree days a few weeks ago, but since then its been in the 30s and 40s and we even had a little bit of snow. One of these days, hopefully we will warm up again. 

This week I attempted to write a blog post but with my busy schedule and technical difficulties I have not been able to  just yet.  I don't know if you heard but the Dollar Tree just released an amazing new shore collection online that can't be missed.

In my Etsy Shop I am starting to list Mother's Day listings as it will be here before we know it.  

It is getting late and I need to get to bed as we are helping D's mom at a charity event tomorrow, so let us get this party started.  

Link up and HAVE FUN!

It is Friday night, and you know what that means..

It is time to Dare to Share! 

Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day? I did not really do much this year, other than wear green to school.   I have in the past celebrated in different ways.  This week I wrote a post called How to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day Last Minute pretty much at the last minute.  As usual I have been busy at school since we had several NWEA testing days the last couple of weeks.  Our Spring Break is in two weeks, and then the last few months of school seem to fly by. Is it just me, or did this school year seem to go really quickly.  

Before you know it, it will be Easter, Mother's Day and graduation.  I am starting to add new things to my  Etsy shop.  So far I have You've Been Egged Signs (the Easter version of You've Been Boo'd) and Graduation Treat Bag Toppers. (3 different versions)  I have currently working on Mother's Day Coupons that I hope to add soon as well.  

Gnome Graduation Treat Bag Toppers

Bunny Gnome You've Been Egged

Plus two Easter Bunny versions 

Well it is after midnight, so it is time to get this party started.   Link up and HAVE FUN!!

How to celebrate St. Patrick's Day last minute

If you are like me, it's the night before St. Patrick's Day and you are looking for something green to wear to work tomorrow. You might also be wondering how you can celebrate this fun holiday, even though you were not prepared.  

Well luckily, I have written a few blog posts during years when I have been more prepared.   Here are some of my favorite past St. Patrick's Day treats and crafts that you can still make at the last minute.  

I had so much fun making the Leprechaun Marshmallow Pops in the picture above.  

 

I used a cauldron from Halloween, and some glass gems from the Dollar Tree to make this Pot of Gold.  It made a cute decoration and was a great way to display my Leprechaun Pops. 

If you have cardboard tubes and some cardstock, you can make these Leprechaun Treat Boxes.

I also found one of round up posts 17 Last Minute St. Patricks Day Ideas with many more ideas you might like.  

However you celebrate.. I hope you  a safe and happy St. Patrick's Day!

It is time to Dare to Share! 

Happy Friday! I had good intentions to write a blog post this week. Time just got away from me.  Hopefully this weekend it will be posted.   How is the weather where you live?  It has been a typical March here, 60s one day, 20s the next. This morning we woke up to 2-3 inches of snow.    It will be nice when Spring actually decides to stay.  

This week I have been working on my shop.  I added several new listings.  

St.Patricks Day Gnome Treat Bag Toppers

St. Patricks Day Rainbow Treat Bag Toppers

Gnome Graduate Treat Bag Toppers

Thanks a Latte, Gift Card Holder and Gift Tags

Lucky Friend, Gift Card Holder and Gift Tags

I am adding new listings every week if you would like to check out my store.  

It's time to get this party started.  Link up and HAVE FUN!!

It is Friday night, and you know what that means...

It is time to Dare to Share! 

I am feeling a bit like a broken record.  I had another long busy week at school this week, so I was not able to write a blog post. :( It is getting to be that time of year when the 6th graders are getting squirrely, and I was in a 6th grade classroom all week.   I have worked on a couple of things for my Etsy shop, and hope to add them in the next few days.

 

The weather has settled down after last week, so hopefully spring is on it's way. How is the weather in your neck of the woods? 

Well it looks like it is time to get this party started, so link up and HAVE FUN!
