Our Dollar Tree has gone
full-tilt Christmas now that Halloween is over – has yours ? There was one
shopping cart fulla half-price candy, and another of last year’s Christmas
decorations and flowers, but the Autumn-themed merchandise seems to have
vanished. Oh, I did find one end-cap of felt leaves, dishtowels, and paper
napkins, but that was it. Wall-to-wall Christmas a gondola or two past where
the Halloween stuff was. There were even a couple Santa Mylar balloons inflated
and hovering. We’re kinda broke for the next week or two, so I didn’t look
much, but I saw three different Frozen Santa
hats and enough ornaments to do up a dozen trees in double-glitter shiny.
Snagged two bags of Russel
Stover caramel-filled chocolate pumpkins from the half-off cart – delicious,
but there’s only three in the bag. At least six for a buck wasn’t too bad. Got
a set of three red jute-handled gift
bags there, too. Although I only need one to take the heart keychains to Friday’s
ICD appointment, I’m sure the other two will find uses eventually. Speaking of
which, I gotta get going on those keychains. . .
Our Library system’s ‘Food
for Fines’ starts Sunday, and I’ve already amassed enough “non-perishable,
non-dented, not expired” foodstuffs to equal my indiscretions and a couple
extra, to fill up the box and not look like a cheap jerk. Sad that the
Library has to spell out the terms like that – and limit it to $20. in fines.
Mine’s less than half that.
UPDATE : All the heart
keychains are stitched out ! Only took four hours to make all twelve, and that was with dinner and several long breaks. All I
have to do tomorrow is cut them out and attach the snaps. Yaaay !
