It’s time for Round 2 of Camera Phone Chronicles. First I have a question for everyone though.
A lot of times I buy supplies to make more than one of my crafts. I got the idea that it might be fun to do a a giveaway where I put a big box of supplies together to make some of my projects. I have a poll on the side to get a feel if anyone would be interested in something like that. Some of the projects would be the girly piggy bank(in Silver), Mesh Jewelry Box, Interchangeable Dry Erase Board, probably some others. So pretty please, click on over to the side bar and cast a vote.
First up are these awesome boxes. I made my Jewelry Box out of one, but they had so many awesome choices. I love the one on the right, it had a design put into the top. It would look really cute with some stain.
Look at these cute little trinket baskets. I don’t know what exactly I’d do with them, but I love that they look like crowns.
Look at these cute little tote bags. They had a few different colors and it was 2/$1. They would make cute little goody bags for parties.
Bandanas 2/$1. So many different combinations. I bought some of those green and blue flowers at the bottom.
This aren’t just your average googley eyes. They have eye brows and eyelashes. This would be great for some fun summer projects with the kids.
Candlesticks are in! These are some of the tallest I have seen at the Dollar Store and look very versatile. Paint em up and glue them to a plate for a cake stand.

Oh I just LOVE the dollar tree! haha Mine doesnt have those cool jewelry boxes tho! But it has soo much for crafts supplies and when ever i go in there my mind starts churning with loads of ideas. I go crazy and will spend more money than any person should spend in that store! LOL Im not even kidding.
And i absolutely adore the googly eyes.. when I found them in my dollar tree I had to buy them.. i wasn’t sure what I was going to do with them at the time.. but I had to have them.. you don’t find googly eyes like that all the time!
But I ended up finding a cute use for them.. check out my blog http://agapelovedesigns.blogspot.com/

Oh and I found some cool large beer mugs and when I saw them i freaked out. I bought two, to paint for my husband as a gift for fathers day coming up. But i was so excited bout finding them.. i went back and bought two more. LOL call me crazy.. but you cant go wrong when its only a dollar! 🙂

I cleaned my Dollar Tree out of the green and blue bandanas. They are so cute. I was thinking of doing a small patch quilt with them. What are your plans for them?
CraftyBrit says
I was inspired to go to the Dollar Tree last time you did this…I swear mine didn’t have all the cool stuff you found. I’m going back to double, and triple check. You found some fun stuff 🙂
