Inspired to do a Little Crafting

Had Made a little time today to start on a few of my Pinterest inspired projects.  I am pretty pleased how they turned out.  I made these with a party theme in mind, but since we didn't have any parties to attend, my family and I had a Tea Party.

All the items, with the exception of the ribbon are from Dollar Tree.  

Total cost for this cute 3 tiered dessert stand is $5.00 from the Dollar Tree.  

This includes 2 plates, 1 bowl, and 2 candlesticks.

Another view of the 3 tiered dessert stand.

Glass globe and candlestick each just $1.00

Small round tea light candle holder was 50 cents.  Two were in the pack for $1.00.

Add in another candlestick at $1.00.

(My 5 year old daughter and tiny crafter got in on the action helping me with the sign and

 she picked one of her blankets to be the tablecloth.)

A third globe on a candlestick held our napkins.  The 2 globes and the tea light holder

 all on the candlesticks had a stair step effect.

Even the dog got a treat out of the party.

Total cost of the 3 candlestick holders and the 3 tired dessert tray ....(drum roll)...

$11.00

How much can you spend at a '$1.00 an item' store?

Today me and the kiddos went to the Dollar Tree.  If you have never been to a Dollar Tree you need to definitely put that store on your shopping bucket list.  I spent around $70.00 (um, yes, everything is a $1).

On my shopping list were several items that I needed to complete some projects that I saw on Pinterest.  I can't wait to start crafting.  I promise to post pictures as soon as my projects are complete.
