I've been meaning to get to the dollar store to check out what they might have to help me with supplies or with decorating for the baby shower. It's coming up fast, Feb. 7th, and I need to be getting things pulled together!
I found sweet pink plates, napkins, forks, balloons (I think I'll have them filled with helium that day), toothpicks because I'm dying to make cupcake picks (we'll see if I get it done :) OH and look at the little blue and pink frames, both for a dollar and I want to put Emily's baby photo in the pink and Brent's in the blue! The baby socks are because I want to make a corsage for Emily to wear ~ I've made one before but I'm a little rusty!
I bought the tissue just because and I love those little tin containers for holding favor candy but I didn't buy them for the shower.....don't you think they would be wonderful to alter for artwork?? 3 for a dollar, you just can't beat it!
So at least I've gotten started now and tonight at Michael's I found a cupcake decorating kit and picked it up with a coupon! Now I need to get busy with all of these things that I want to make!
Today I received the sweetest gift from Charlene of My Heart's Ease......goodies for the baby shower, games and cards for writing advice for the new mother and just look at the precious baby hat!!! And also a wonderful grandmother book, I look forward to reading this....
Charlene I just love it all, thank you so much! And Clara is going to be beautiful in this sweet hat!
Such sweet friends I've found here these last two years. Each and every day I look forward to sharing things with you. Thank you for visiting me!!

Can't wait to see what happens to all of your dollar store items once you've waved your magic wand over it all.
That yellow hat is so adorable. I don't think I've seen one like it before. Yup, you do have lovely blogging buddies.
Dawn,
It is going to be a great baby shower. Emily is a lucky gal to have you!! I am looking forward to seeing all of the photos.

those tins are awesome!! I need to go get some!
Hey Dawn,
Don't you just love the dollar stores? I'm going to have to get some of those little tins. They'd be great for holding beads, tiny embellishments and all kinds of things.
And that little yellow hat is absolutely adorable!
My new grandbaby is due February 24th. I don't know if it's a boy or girl, so we'll all be surprised. :)
Your idea for baby pics of the parents is great. What a wonderful thought...LOVE IT!.
Baby Blessings, Candy

Dear Dawn - Two things I am anxious to see - the altered tins and corsage with the baby socks. I know you will work them beautifully.

Hi Dawn. Great baby shower finds and I can't wait to see pictures from the shower. I love those little canisters and I'm excited to see what you do with them. Your altered art is fantabulous!!!!
You found lovely things. The shower will be sweet. I love to go there for the holiday decorations. I have learned, though, that if I see something I like but don't need it then, I better get it anyway 'cause when I do need it, they will all be gone!

What an adorable hat. I just may have to take up knitting. Love your blog. Nancy
I am sooooooooooo glad you liked all the goodies. And I thought little Clara needed some sunny yellow since MiMi was so into the pink stuff & trust me... I would be too if I were getting a girl! Hugs
Well, I hate to admit it but I love the dollar store;)
Your finds at the dollar store are great! Love the little hat...so adorable!
