Mega Bold Gel Pen by Promarx

The two pack is available at Dollar Tree, I only saw black ink at my local store but it's possible they might also be available in blue 

The ink is super juicy, not the best to use on the fly or on thin paper but looks like the ideal on mailing envelopes for that extra bold look. Note: the ink needs to dry (longer than regular gel) before it's smudge proof.

Sequin Storage 'Dresser' - Dollar Tree Pill Organizer

I picked up all three items for this project at Dollar Tree - Nail Polish remover (double duty - nails and removing printed text on pill organizer), Cotton Rounds and 7-Day Pill Organizer

Each Pill Container day is marked and has 4 compartments - Breakfast, Lunch, Supper and Bedtime. They snap open and are divided to keep things separated.

To remove the days of the week, I simply soak some Nail Polish remover on a cotton round and rub off the letters.

Easy peasy.

All 7 Days gone.

These loose sequin packs are also from Dollar Tree and are in small plastic baggies that are not always the easiest to reuse.

I emptied each of the colors into the little pill containers - each color took up half of one day. I was able to put up all but the metallic sequins. Those will probably be popped into friend mail since I'm not a fan of gold to begin with. 

Love they way they look and how easily accessible they are in the containers vs. little baggies. 

Two shades of purple. 

Sequin 'Dresser' all in the storage container.  To be perfectly honest, several of the compartments do not snap completely closed. Some of that was fixed when the lids were turned around but there were still a couple that just pop up a little. Once in the 'dresser' the little 'drawers' are all staying closed but might not be the best solution if you are traveling with these supplies.

How do you store your sequins?

Dollar Tree Finds

Cute purple gold foil stamped fan, just the perfect touch for a summer dinner party favor or to stash in your purse 

Americana duct tapes, there were several other patterns but I picked up just these two - Stars and Nautica 

Sequin strands in fuchsia, black and lime 

Blinged out compact (two mirrors) and a Kabuki brush that should have been left at the store because it's shedding already 

Loose sequins in 6 packs - Pinks/Purples, Metallics and Blue/Green. The crow in me would not allow me to walk away without taking some home

Marzetti Salad Accents - Orange Ginger with sesame sticks, wonton strips and almonds with orange ginger seasoning 

Marzetti Salad Accents - Cherry Walnut Crunch with dried cherries, walnuts and granola

Have you picked up any fun things at Dollar Tree recently?

Review - Three Food Items from Dollar Tree

After repeated requests, I busted out three of the food items I picked up from Dollar Tree in the last couple of weeks to make a very simple but tasty large appetizer/dinner.

• Francesco Rinaldi Pizza Sauce
• Camillo's Pizza Crusts (2 per pack)
• Hormel Pepperoni

Easy Summer Evening Outdoor Centerpiece - Dollar Tree

I picked up 12 Solar Powered lights for the garden at Dollar Tree yesterday and while stashing them in the house before popping them in the garden, I put them in this divided bucket. This would be a perfect centerpiece for a summer night party. Kids events can be in sand castle buckets or for a more elegant outdoor dinner, three in a glass vase down the center of the table would create a lovely ambience and illumination at the same time.
Don't see these at your local Dollar Tree?  You can order them online and have them shipped to the store, only 6 minimum order or fill your entire garden with a case of 48. Still a fraction of  the cost. I have had ours in the garden for the last 5 years and just now replacing them because they got caught in the raised beds over the harsh winter.
