{10} Back to School Supplies to Buy at the Dollar Tree

How can it possibly be back to school time already?  Shopping for school supplies can put a pretty big dent in the pocketbook, so when you can find great bargains, you should grab them.


Here are ten back to school supplies to buy at your local Dollar Tree.


Pen pouches. They are light weight, secure, and since they're not bulky, they are easy to slip into an outer pocket of a backpack.


Foam Core and Project Display Boards. It's great to keep a supply of these handy for those projects you don't find out about until the night before they're due.


Poster Board. See above.


Office Supplies.  It's great to have a ready supply of office supplies to keep things organized. You can find everything from  push pins to staples at your Dollar Tree.  *buy your pens somewhere else


Correction Fluid. Older kids will appreciate having some correction fluid for assignments that need to be hand written in pen.


Popular Brand Adhesives. Keep you eyes open for name brand products. A dollar for three tubes of glue is a steal! Skip the off-brands.


Kraft Paper. Kraft paper makes the BEST book covers. Your kids can decorate the paper with markers before covering. It's also great for art projects, or to use as drop paper for messy projects. If you have any left over, use it for holiday gift wrap.


Homework Supply Tubs or Bins. Make a supply bin for each of your kiddos, that they can grab and take to wherever they like to do their homework. Keep each bin stocked with grade appropriate supplies.


Hand Sanitizer. Many teachers ask for donations of hand sanitizer for class use, and older students may want to slip a small bottle of sanitizer in their backpacks.

These are only a few of the great back to school bargains you can find at Dollar Tree. Of course, you will want to check sale flyers for other discount stores, as items are deeply discounted at this time of year. Go where you can get the best value for your money.

Good luck, and happy shopping!

I Heart Wreaths, a Collection of Favorite Valentine's Wreaths

Don't you just love all the heart wreaths and Valentine's wreaths we're seeing right now?  So many of you are so talented -- I'm continually blown away by the creativity that abounds in blog land!  Here is a lovely sampling of favorite wreaths that I heart right now.   Be sure and stop by these ladies' lovely blogs and check them out!

The combination of texture and form on this wreath from Aaron at Mudpies and Marigolds makes me want to swoon. 

This wreath even sports a "corsage" on the shoulder -- so elegant, and rustic at the same time.

 ................................................................

Andrea never disappoints, with her dreamy concoctions.


This wreath captured my heart last year, and still has a hold (must be that love potion on the tip of the arrow)!

................................................................


Jessica, at Sweetie Pie Bakery, created this darling wreath from pompoms she made herself!  You can see her tutorial here.  And while you're there, check out her gorgeous Anthropologie inspired shower curtain (with tutorial)!

................................................................

How much more sweetness can a girl take?  This little framed number is just way too cute!


Head over to Tales From an OC Cottage to see how the artist and Marie Osmond created this lovely piece.

................................................................

Here's one that's not fussy, but is absolutely elegant in it's simplicity.  I'm totally digging the gingham ribbon and the little pop of pink on the arrow!


Go see Maggie at Black and White, Side by Side,  for a link to the full tutorial.

................................................................

Becca, at Nap Time Journal, made this adorable fabric wreath, and put it in a thrifted frame.


So cute! Aren't you just loving all the framed wreaths we're seeing?  I just love the layering.


................................................................


This sweet little up-cycled wreath from Christina, at From One Momma to Another is so lovely in it's simplicity.



I adore anything up-cycled and creative.  I like that it's not overly fussy, but still packs some punch!  Check out the tutorial -- you'll never believe how easy and thrifty this project is!

................................................................


Can I show you one more  (or does this one count as two)?  This sweet little pair of hearts, made by Heather, at Straight Stitches is about as darling as it gets! 


I heart these wreaths!

Do you have a favorite Valentine's wreath that you've made or seen?  Link it up in the comments section -- I'd love to see what's inspiring you.  Be sure and visit these talented ladies, and share some of the "LOVE"!

Lovely Little Boxes

Look what I found!  The sweetest blog, Just a Girl, by Gabrielle Messina.  After you read this, you might want to scoot over to Gabrielle's place and look around.  She is a talented artist, and her creations are just exquisite.

Gabrielle made these sweet little packages using bits of vintage paper, ribbons, tulle, and millinery flowers. 


These were created as part of the table decorations for a friend's birthday!


These are definitely going into my inspiration file.  Thanks, Gabrielle, for letting me share your lovely work!  You can see Gabrielle's work, here.
