new "hobby"

I have started a second blog (don't worry, I won't be abandoning this one) for my newest interest.  I got inspired by a segment on Rachael Ray featuring a woman who wrote a cookbook for things that you could find at the 99 Cent Store.  I remembered how, when I lived in Florida, I used to put together various little gifts using things that I bought at the local dollar stores.  I really haven't put too much into household decorations, so I challenged myself to a bit of "dollar store decor" for the various seasons.  The web address for my new blog is dollardecorating.blogspot.com or you can click on my profile and it is listed there.

The Dollar store(where everything is only $1) makes a great Santa gift shop for the kids to shop at. Give them a list of people to buy for and a cart and watch them have the time of their lives! Who cares what they pick out...that's the fun of it. It is truly their gift! Littler ones need more help. But sure beats the malls for their gift buying.

I actually did that last year and am planning on doing it again this year.
