...1 dollar items...

Don't ya just love when you've gone window shopping only to find the cutest $1 items ever?

If you're like most women, you love a bargin and the $1 bins at any store have you fighting over that last packet of Justin Beiber stickers...ok maybe not that but it's like a moth to a flame when there is a $1 bin in a store.

Well I'm no exception. I wanted to head out of the house last night because I've been sick all week with the flu and a fever. I guess this week was a great example of why I do enjoy working from home. I didn't have to take any time off! But I also never left the house because I just had no energy.

Well last night I hit up the local craft store and low and behold, I found the $1 bins. **batting eyes** I was so bummed that nothing in it was good... that was until I came across these cute little cards!


The first one, I fell in love with because it has the Thistle on the front.  This is the official flower of Scotland.  I think I left a small piece of my heart in Scotland, because it is there, where I decided to quit my job and return to school full time.  Such a leap, but a great leap of moving, meeting new people, and discovering so much about myself, not to mention compounding my love of art through going to Art School at FSU. 

The second one, I love because first off, orange is becoming a new favorite color, and secondly, the pattern and the brown combination are delicious.  Who wouldn't want to find these cute savory note cards in their mailbox soon? 

So you may not be a crafty person, not everyone is, but there are some great finds in your local craft stores for the "uncrafty" like these cute $1 note cards sets.  Oh and the sets, 8 cards with envelopes, talk about cheap!

Hope you're having a great Friday!
