I just made fabric covered notebooks with composition books from my dollar store. I owe my dollar store-loving mother so much...

Cute ideas! I have been meaning to do the ceremac plates with sharpies forever! Maybe I will get to it this week... I made a sunburst mirror this week from the Dollar Store! Fun and cost, you guessed it 1$!
Laura
Great ideas! I love using dollar store items for crafts. I made a wreath this past fall, and last weekend I made a cute Easter wreath with ribbon and mini Easter eggs! I also buy vases and glasses there for painting or glass etching projects.
