Dollar Store Swap Gallery

[Sejimara]

I received my package from Miss Barbara yesterday.  I have been spoiled (AGAIN) by my partner.  Check it out:
A decorated basket, a tree embroidered hand towel, the cute card, a heart pin that says CREATE and some leftover wall paper border.

Decorated wooden words....so cute.

Decopaged Scrapbook (w/leftover paper inside), a change purse w/ lil scissors and a button covered notebook.

Crocheted bookmark & flowers (with pins on the back), decorated mirror, and an embellished photo album (with a couple drawings from the kids inside )

Thanks again Miss Barbara, you're too much, hope you like what I'm craftin' for you!!

  You're welcome!  I KNOW I will like whatever I receive from you!

[psychonmemphis]

wow i must buy some of those words (i have seen them before at mine) and make some christmas gifts and maybe even some for me if i am feeling generous lol you make them look great!

[pops]

wow! that's a lot of gorgeousness!

you must have some COOL dollar stores miss barbara

(or maybe you're just an awesome craftster! )

   Ahhhh, pops, I'm blushing!  Thanks!  Mostly Dollar Tree, with a no-name dollar store as well.  The scrapbook and the photo album were the ugliest, they had bright pastel gaudy baby print on them...couldn't wait to cover them up.  But the funny thing was the dishtowel...as I was sewing it, I guess b/c of the odd purple color, my 6yo comes up to me and says:  "Is that an old one?" 

And can I tell you...those words did not look that good till the butterflies were added...that was definitely the finishing touch.

Here are the goodies from ifalltheraindrops:




A close-up of the little buckets.  Two of them are pincushions, and the third is left empty as a decorative container.  (My girls each laid claim to a pincushion right away! lol)


This is a tote bag.  (I actually almost bought that very same towel for the very same purpose! lol)

And I'm not sure how well you can see it, but in the first couple of pictures there is an ice cream patch.

Thank you, ifalltheraindrops!

Also checking in and letting everyone know I'm still alive over here. I've received my amazing package from dawn0684, and will most likely post pictures this afternoon when I'm able to. Sorry for the delay! Everything is totally cute so far! I love the little photo album and I absolutely adore that little coin purse.
