The women in our church group had a very successful activity last night! It was so easy to plan and was a very enjoyable night. Here is what we did:
The Theme was about organizing our homes as well as our inner spiritual lives.
We kept The Decorations simple since most of the space was taken up with the stuff people brought!
Here is the link for the cards. It has a white background so that you can print it on any color cardstock.
At the end of the activity, everyone pitched in to clean-up and to load up the leftover items into a waiting truck and trailer. The clean-up went pretty quickly with many hands and everyone went home happy to homes a little bit lightened of things that didn't want and/or with new items that they really needed.

Thank you for your support. I like to check out Dollar Tree when their new seasonal items come out. I recently went in to see their new Fall items and found some cute stuff! One of my favorite little items were these little pie shaped clips that I think would make great bookmarks for a cookbook. Back in the 80s, I used to do a lot of Tole Painting. I still get the bug to pull out my paints and do some decorative painting. This little project was perfect because it was small, quick and still let me practice my comma strokes and side-loading! Here are the paint colors I used:
If you don't own a million bottles of acrylic paint already, like I do, Dollar Tree has a selection of paints as well. Or, you can order some on Amazon here. Why I Love These Little Clips When I use a recipe from a cookbook, I find myself always having to weigh the page open with something so I don't lose the page if the cookbook isn't spiral bound. A little clip like this can really help with that issue. Even if it isn't heavy enough to keep the book open constantly, you can clip the page so it is easy to open again. This picture shows the clip holding open the printed copy of our new eBook, Jam in 3 Winks! It would be even cuter with our eBook called For the Love of Pie! Combine it with a little pie, the cookbook and the bookmark. Or for the jam book, with a jar of jam and the cookbook! There you go! Christmas gifts complete. Except, you need to paint the bookmark clips. The handmade touch is always great when giving a gift. Besides the pies, Dollar Tree also has trucks full of pumpkins, leaves and pumpkin clips. All of them would be so much fun to paint. For a group activity, you can order them online in bulk, or go find them at your local Dollar Tree.

I stopped by Dollar Tree today because I needed to pick up some watercolor sets for a watercolor activity our women's group is doing. So, of course I walked around the rest of the store to see what treasures I could find. I found a few! Here are my favs:
I fell in love with these diminutive little clip frames. They are perfect to hold a wallet sized photo that you don't want to hide in your wallet! Look at my cute grandson in his baseball uniform!
They have other super cute frames as well. These magnetic house shaped ones are nice. $1.25 for picture frames is a great price. Check out all of their frames here.
Any of my grandkids would love these wooden toys to paint and to play with. Dollar Tree has airplanes, boats, cars, and I think this helicopter is so cool!
Speaking of toys, did you know that Dollar Tree carries Colorforms? I used to love those as a kid. They are a great way to keep kids occupied on long drives, too. The store carries many varieties, including Disney and a Battleship Game!
You can also find these cute Disney-Pixar figures. I like these because they make cute Christmas Tree ornaments for kids. I made a video about doin that a couple of years ago. You can see ithere. I can imagine Rex with a wreath around his neck and Bo-Peep with one on her hook! Woody could have miniature lights draped around his arms and around his hat. Can you picture it? So much fun and the kids would love them. They look super cute on a Christmas Tree.
When it comes to crafting supplies, I feel like Dollar Tree has stepped up their game quite a bit. They have wooden figures and plaques that are terrific. I am debating getting one of these owls to paint for my craft room. But, they have other shapes as well. Not to mention arrows and hearts, etc.
They carry metal craft supplies as well! Some you can order as few as 4 of them online. If you don't want a bulk order of 24 items or more, be sure to watch your order details! For some items, if you only want one, two or a few, it is better to go inside a store. But also, if you do order online, you can pick up at a store for free!
It is always great to find some indoor activities to do for yourself and the kids during the hot summer months here in Phoenix. I love that Dollar Tree helps us do just that at an inexpensive price!

Thank you for your support. I belong to a women's organization in my church that is 180 years old this year! It is called the Relief Society. The mission of this group was originally to help the needy, but over the years it has expanded to not only help those in need, but to also teach the gospel of Jesus Christ, to help women be educated throughout the world and as one song puts it, "to cheer and to bless in humanities name."
