Frugal Friday

Hey, everyone!!

I have something really fun to share with you all! I have been doing this for a while now but I thought I would let you all know about it, too! Many of you know how frugal I am when it comes to all things paper crafting and this little tip is no exception!
Check out all these leaves! It is a clamshell case crammed full of them! They will be fun to add to my scrapbook pages and cards. Instead of paying a small fortune for pretty little flowers in fancy jars, I spent $3 and some change to get all of these:
Aren't they pretty? My local Dollar Tree carries all these beautiful faux flowers for $1 per bundle. When I get them home I take them off their stems and pull them apart. Look at how many you can get. This is from three bundles!!
With so many colors to choose from, you can mix and match, add smaller flowers in the center, brads, buttons, a photo, ... whatever you can imagine! Be sure if you are in my area and you go stock up on these pretty flowers, you save some for me!!! :0)
Where there are flowers, you know there might be a few bees...
Isn't this the cutest little blog award?! I love it! My sweet friend Christina gave it to me.
This happiness award will be given to five bloggers, every Sunday! Those five bloggers will then pass it on to five bloggers. This special award will be given to bloggers who truly have happiness in their hearts and pass that on to everyone they meet, and everywhere they go. They know that happiness is a choice, and always choose wisely. Always looking on the sunny-side of life, and keeping their sense of humor, these bloggers are a joy to read!!! So the Queen Bee says to BEE HAPPY!!!
So my five bloggers are:
Have an awesome day!!!
Angel Hugs,

What a neat idea - the flowers are beautiful - just the time to pull them apart - what beautiful creations you can make.
