Do you love going to the dollar store? I am "HOOKED ON" going to the dollar store. It's amazing what you can find for a dollar! A few weeks ago I took a trip to the Dollar Store, just to browse the aisles and see what was new. I always go straight to my favorite section, the "frame aisle". When shopping, you must think "out side the box". I wanted to create a few thank you gifts for some people who have been kind enough to bless me with wonderful deeds over the past few weeks. When I entered the dollar store I had a set budget and a project I wanted to create. I picked these matted frames and off I went, with an idea to create!
When I arrived home, I could hardly wait to start working on the thank you gifts. I grabbed some scrapbook paper, my favorite gold paint, ribbon, buttons, and one of my "new finds" a crystal beaded garland. I searched for the perfect saying and I was ready to go. An hour later it was complete.
You would never know that this frame started off at the dollar store... The crystal beads add the perfect touch!
I made a matching gift bag to hold my new treasure.
I'm going to be teaching a class on this project next month. This would make a wonderful gift for so many occasions.
Next time you head on over to your local dollar store, take some time to just look around . Remember to be CREATIVE!
Stop by "Hooked on Friday's" and see what other bloggers are HOOKED ON...

Thank you for sharing another happy adventure in thinking outside the box. Times have been a little tight around our place and the dollar store sure comes in handy now that I am learning to think outside the craftting box.
Have a blessed week.
