A THOUSAND THUMBS UP!!! Beyond thorough, as always. Hubby has the same pleasant, radiant countenance as you. CLONE THIS COUPLE. Everyone needs a neighbor like you.
Oh, you could not have made me smile any bigger!!!! Thanks for such a lovely compliment. Rich is going to do a card on video, as a viewer asked for it, and he's up for anything...You have to love a guy whose willing to do whatever you ask? I'd love to have a neighbor like you as well..
Good video. I have almost all of those items. I do enjoy your Dollar Store tours. These types of videos is one of the reasons they do so well and are expanding, so they should have no problem with videos in the stores. It's free advertising.
I had the new local store tell me I couldn't video inside, but then changed their mind when their area manager told them it was OK....So glad you liked the video. Here are more crafty hacks from the new DT in town. ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html Sandy
Charline, I'm so glad you liked it, as I wanted to cover products that people all over the world would be able to find, and not just here in the US...I'll be doing another one when our new DT opens..Sandy
I don't see where the dollar store would have problems with this video as it will make them lots and lots of money. This is great ideas and thank you for the wonderful tour.
Ellen, Thanks so much for your kind words. I've talked to the people in my DT before about DT videos, and they look at me like I am crazy. They have no idea why anyone would be interested in their stores. I would have asked, but they were really busy, then once we got started, I was worried that they wouldn't be happy that we had filmed without permission...I'll definitely ask before our next visit to the new store..Sandy
the shoe protectors are also great to use for storing your stencils in. On my lights Houston Souls with my texturizing paste that I also make out of cornstarch based baby powder! You really know the tricks Miss Lady thank you so much! And it's very classy that you give a big knowledgement to other Crafters on RUclips. I really like to see women supporting other women and you are all stars!
Laura, You are too kind. I'm going to have to check out shoe protectors, as I'm not sure what they look like. I store my stencils in an accordian folder and it works great (another Lindsay idea.) I'd love your recipe for cornstarch based baby powder texture paste and would definitely give you credit for it.... You can always email me at saundralparker@yahoo.com Sandy
I thought of trying it, but hadn't, so thanks for the great tip. I've been seeing people using self healing mats you use for sewing, as replacements for their plastic cutting plates in their Big Shots, and am definitely going to look into trying that. Have you tried that?
you were just such a sweetheart! Around the 4-minute time the tip of the spray bottle is adjustable so you can have a fine stream or a nice mist and the pump bottles are actually in the nail polish section they're used typically for nail polish remover.
My DT doesn't have the pump bottles (and I tried the nail polish section..) I think I said my DT isn't the best. I'm really hoping the new one is bigger and has better selection. The spray bottle was close to the front of the store, and I was kind of panicking that we would be thrown out for the video, so was trying to talk as fast as possible about the spray bottle and forgot to mention the adjustable tip. darn... I have another one from there that's made like Tim Holtz's spray bottle, but of course, they didn't have them at my store to show you. Again, hoping to find it at the new store. Thanks for your tips and help with the things I forgot to mention. I really appreciate it as so many viewers read the comments... Sandy
Thanks for all these great savings idea. Any crafter know that crafting can be really expensive. It's better to save your buck for the non-replaceable items. I am so inspired!😃 Even though we I don't live in the US, I will be finding smililar products in my country for the most part. Thank you!!🙏
You're right...crafting of any kind can be super expensive, and I tried to show products that are universal, so people outside the US can find them in their inexpensive stores. Oh, and I always type the whole explanation of the video below it, so you can print that out and take it with you so you remember what products I used and what I used them for. Happy shopping....Sandy
Linda, So glad you liked it...You shouldn't ever have to write down anything from my videos, as I write all of the information below the video, including links to videos I've made with every product and what I use them for. I wanted to make my channel accessible to as many people as I could, and the closed captioning on YT isn't very good, so if hearing impaired individuals want to watch my videos, they have the notes below them to follow....So you can print it out and take it with you. Hope that helps....Sandy
Thank you! God Blessed and may He continued to give you strength to make us smile along with you as you do your craft etc ... And you are so true with your words of making others Happy, like you said it's not all about the money.. A peaceful night to you...
Very informative...thanks for sharing...I use the chopping mats to make templates...you can trace your work by placing it under the mat and they cut easily with scissors for a template.
You're so kind. I made a second of these videos when a new DT store opened in our town. Here's the link in case you would like to see it. ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html I love hearing from viewers, so if you have a video you'd like me to make, please let me know...Sandy
So glad you enjoyed it. Rich is terrific tech support and I wouldn't have a channel without him. A viewer asked if he would make a card on video, and today he handed me a template of a fun fold idea he had. He'd come up with an easel card, and since I've never made one on video, he'd never seen one...I can't wait to show that template when he makes his card..
Glad I could help with some ideas that work for you. I made a similar video with new tips when a second Dollar Tree opened in our town..here's that video if you're interested in watching it. ruclips.net/channel/UCiFSJBbEoVIywsQvKMUG0mQsearch?query=twenty Sandy
Hi Sandy great to see you!!! Great job excellent, fantastic love it .. Do you know why I love the things you do and say ? You are always thinking of others and I love you for that, someone is always smiling one way or the other and you are also, always happy at doing it... Very great ideas ...Margaret here !have not forgotten.. Lots and lots stuff going on.... Please continued doing the good work...love you..later.
Margaret, I'm so happy that I can make you smile. All I wanted when I started the channel, was to be able for people with physical limitations to have a voice on RUclips....I'm so glad that my channel has taken wings, and will always be in it for the love of the people and not about making any money....The channel has given me so much more in the way of sweet friends and it's worth more than any money they could pay me....Thanks for being in my corner!!!
Sandy. Thanks so much for this video. I knew about a couple items, but many I had not considered! And actually your dollar tree is so much better than in my area so I guess they are all different! I need to find a better one. Look forward to the next videos on some of these finds
I attached a lot of the videos and will have some new upcoming videos for the things I didn't show...Hope you'll let me know what you think about the ones I did attach...
Oh my goodness, i had no idea there were so many things I could get from Dollar tree for my crafting. Cant wait for my store to open in the morning. Thank you!
Hope you haven't gone there yet, as I made a second one of these videos with even more ideas. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html
I will walk around my Poundland store here in the UK with new eyes now I have watched your video. I thought I had some good ideas for using non craft items but Sandy, you are a star! What a lovely lady too, I can tell you have a good heart! I’ve subscribed so I can glean more of your knowledge. Thanks for the hard work you must put into your videos x
Judy, I'd love to hear the non-craft items and how you use them, as I'm always looking for ways to save money on craft items...Your note warmed my heart! Sandy
Sandy and Rich it was great to see you two in person outside your craft room... I'm always at the Dollar Tree Store....I love looking around for some ideas just like you did today...well done and tfs....looking for more ideas in the future.
So glad you enjoyed the video and can't wait for my new store to open and I can share another one. I know viewers have tons of additional hacks, and I could have spent all day there, showing mine, but just thought I was becoming too obvious and was afraid we'd be kicked out..
So happy you've enjoyed this video. I made another when I visited the new DT in my area..ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html I hope this gives you even more ideas. Sandy
That's it I'm of to my local cheap shop tomorrow with new eyes, love that you have help .I love going on trips with you as you come up with lots of new uses for crafting with every day stuff. Hugs from the UK
Cath, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Rich and I went to a "Euro" store when we were in Italy years ago, and loved that the Dollar Store was kind of worldwide...I have lots more ideas where these came from and with the help of ideas from viewers, I'll be ready for a second round by the time the new store (and hopefully better one) opens up...
Sherry, You never know when the urge will hit you, and I hope you give in to it...Doing crafty things is great for stress relief and terrible for the wallet, but takes your mind off of things when you might need a break...Sandy
Can't wait to see that video. I need to binge watch ALL your videos to catch up. Like this video, I've downloaded your notes from previous research videos you've done for future reference. We've been doing a yard cleanup of 5 years of neglect pulling out miles of gorgeous but pesky ivy that escaped from pots, cleaning up the "sugarpops" from our 20 fir trees, and garloning blackberries & trees that sprouted from seeds from everyone else's trees. I'm truly NOT a good neighbor and shouldn't have wished myself on you.
Oh don't worry, I have two dogs that bark like maniacs, so I'm not the greatest neighbor either...Loved your description of yourself by the way, and it makes me laugh...we'd be great neighbors... If you're going to watch all my videos, you'll be binging for a long time, as there are over 350 of them...good luck with that. haha....
Very helpful video! Love all of the tips that I never would have thought of otherwise. Love the way you really showed and explained everything - great video! Thanks for taking your time to make this!
Thanks so much Tiffany...I made a second one when our new Dollar Tree opened....ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html I hope you find more helpful ideas.
Cristina, I'm glad I can be of help, and tried to stick to products that you can find anywhere (outside of the US)...I hope you'll give a couple of these ideas a try...I'm doing another one of these when our new Dollar Tree opens..Sandy
I'm so glad you found me as well. I'm a little bit quirky, and sometimes make up my own craft terms, but I hope you'll find videos that you enjoy. I mainly make cards, but am open to trying almost anything. I used to crochet (loved the hooker term, as I thought it was so funny), and hope I'll hear from you again!! Sandy
Mara, If you have any issues with trying the tips I give, and need any help, please email me as I'm always glad to help...saundralparker@yahoo.com Sandy
Hey Helen, I wish you did as well. I tried to pick items (for the most part) that can be found worldwide...maybe not for a dollar (or your money's equivalent), but inexpensively, hopefully. Our new Dollar Tree is opening this week, so I'll be visiting the new store and making a video in the next couple of weeks. I hope you'll check it out. Sandy
Subscribed! I too have RA, so you're in my heart. I am a crafter too, mostly knitting and crochet, but I am really getting into the junk journal making and loaded-cards. I was diagnosed in 2005 with RA, but my case was mild, and fortunately it never messed with my hands. However, once the RA moved to my lungs and eyes, it went into remission in my joints. Its eating away at my lungs, but I don't even have morning RA stiffness anymore. Be well!!
I'm so sorry I never responded to this comment, as YT just posted it to my site today. I don't know how these things happen, but unfortunately, they do. I'm sorry to hear that your RA has gone into your lungs and eyes, and hope that with the time that's passed, things have much improved. I hate hearing that others are being diagnosed with this disease, but luckily, the joint and overall body damage to new RA patients is usually not as bad as when I was diagnosed in 1982. I sincerely hope that you are doing well and that you continue to make the crafting things you discussed in your note. I'd love to see a photo of some of your crafty creations...saundralparker@yahoo.com Sandy
You are so kind. I LOVE your screen name! I made another of these videos when the new DT opened in our town, with a bunch of new ideas. Hope you enjoy it. ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html If you have any ideas you'd like me to cover in a video, please let me know, as I'm always looking for new ideas my viewers would enjoy...Sandy saundralparker@yahoo.com
Oh sandy and Rich! That was fabulous!! We don’t have dollar trees in my part of Canada dang it! But in Texas they do!! You are truly a book of knowledge! That my dear Lady was a plethora of information!! Thank you both for that it was great!! And I’ll be using those ideas!!
So glad you enjoyed it. We had a lot of fun sneaking around our Dollar Tree, in the hopes we wouldn't be caught...I don't know if our local Dollar Tree is ok with making a video....didn't want to get thrown out, as that would have been so embarrassing...
Carol, Thanks for the nice note. My store is small compared to ones I've been to in larger cities, and I'm hoping the new one has a lot more selection. I watch videos of other Dollar Trees, and I keep thinking, "our store never had those." I will be doing a crafty ideas field trip from the new store when it opens. I hope you'll come along for the ride. Sandy
Shopping with a Sandy! What an exciting new element to your repertoire! This could be a regular segment on your channel from time to time. A lot of us lack your knack for seeing craft uses for non-craft objects. Thanks so much for sharing with us! It was good to see “the music man” on the screen! 😊
We had so much fun and will definitely do it again. Rich has been asked to make a card on video and will be doing that soon and that should be a lot of fun....
Sandy, thank you so very much for sharing your "hacks" with fellow crafters! Crafters who live in the U.S.A. don't realize how very lucky you are. The last time we were at our home in Southern Ca., I'd spent a little time before we left the U.K. watching a few crafting vlogs. However, it seemed that no matter which "Tuesday Morning" or "Dollar Tree" my poor family patiently followed me to, seemed to be sold out of all the excellent goody hauls I'd seen & am used to getting when we're back home in the U.S. :(. We do have "Pound Stores" (like "Dollar Tree") here but they have next to no crafting supplies (even hackable items). Crafting seems to still be in it's l o n g infancy in the U.K. & card making is, by far preferred over scrap booking. I'm a big Anna Griffin fan & there must be some kind of secret code that crafters need to have studied to know especially when Anna's "end stocks" come in, LOL. Some of the hauls you ladies & gents find make me jealous!.....Ah well, maybe next time. Thanks again Sandy, new sub.
I tried to stick to as many items as possible that you can find pretty much anywhere. We were in Italy many years ago, and found a "Euro Store" and had to go inside. It was very much like our Dollar Tree...I agree about the Tuesday Morning hauls...I've been in a few Tuesday Mornings and have never found the things that these ladies find...Honestly though, I do think that they shop there at least three times a week and maybe every day, to find the things they find. I'm not that kind of shopper and want to find the same things every time I go, like at my Dollar Tree. There were maybe three things on my list that they no longer carried at my Dollar Tree, so I'm hoping my new store will have them. I've made friends all over the world, and often they will tell me they have no stores that carry card making supplies, and that makes me really sad. If you haven't found Aliexpress, they sell everything and anything you'd ever want for card making there and shipping worldwide is free. I've bought a lot of things there and especially love their micro brushes tinyurl.com/yafrnx4s and tinyurl.com/y7ffxsjn to fill ink spots I've missed, and especially, for putting glue on the backs of thin die cuts. I'm sad that you don't have access to the craft stores we have in the US, but hope you'll be able to find a lot of the things I mention at your local "Pound Store." I've often wondered if you have thrift shops or garage sales in the UK? I find a lot of things that I re-purpose for craft things at those as well. Email me any time at saundralparker@yahoo.com if you can't find a particular product, as I love hunting for things for others...Sandy
Hi, I have watched many craft shows, Dollar Tree trips, and I do not find you annoying at all! I enjoy watching this video, and I'm sure many more to come. I have found many new ideas from you, and I think they are great! Keep up the good work, I enjoyed your video.🦉
I'm so glad you don't find me annoying...I was trying to avoid the clerks as I hadn't asked for permission to video there, so I sometimes came off as a little bit distracted when I was close to the front desk....Here's another trip to our new DT store with a bunch more ideas for you...This time I did get permission to film.. ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html I hope you find more of my videos that you enjoy..Sandy
Hi Sandy! Great job as always, I wish I was over there to get some of those goodies...missed talking to you but I have not forgotten you...I am a tab busy.. and great news I have finely hauled and still hauling some goodies from on line... Sandy I be hearing you some time soon hoping to get things going.. GOOD HEALTH , PEACE and BLESSINGS for 2019.
Awesome Video! I absolutely love all of the Dollar Tree hacks! I just saw the dispenser for nails today. I saw where they have swifter cloths great for glitter clean up. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Tell Rich thanks also that he does great work.
I had so many more I could have done, but wanted to get out before we got caught...and saved some for my next secret visit....Thanks for the reminder about Swiffers, that reminds me about Mr Clean sponges and coffee filters..I'll have to make a new list...
WHAT? The bald guy on cleaning commercials from the 1960's and 70's? He makes an eraser that you can use for all kinds of things...here's a link to them. tinyurl.com/ycftndpm
I know it's sad that you can't find bargains, but you might look at aliexpress.com, as a lot of the things they sell are really inexpensive and don't have shipping charges..
Thank you for sharing all these tips, Sandy! I have used all these products and tips before. Another product that can be used from the Dollar Tree for crafts is baby oil. I use it with Q-tips to in place of gamsol and blending stumps to blend out color pencil colored images.
So glad you liked it and hope you'll share some of yours with me...If you know any Dollar Tree tips that I forgot, I'm happy to share them in my next field trip..
Hi Sandy. Who doesn’t love the Dollar Tree,? A crafters best friend😀. Thanks for another delightful and informative video. And it’s great to meet Rich!
So glad you enjoyed the video and that you got to meet Rich...He's going to be helping me with more videos (in front of the camera), as viewers have asked for him to make a card on video and he's agreed...He's the greatest....and handsome too..
So glad you enjoyed the video....I made a different one when a new DT opened in our town...hope it gives you even more ideas. ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html
Loved this video, I'm a big fan of Lindsay the frugal crafter also. I love your enthusiasm and WOW you packed this video FULL of great ideas. Love those of US over 40 & the readers, but most of all your earth friendly and recycle Ideas. I am a BIG BIG BIG fan of yours now and will be getting baby bibs- true aha moment, they are just like microfiber cloths,LOL (even though my kids are grown) so Big thanks for all these great Ideas!! (plotting now which videos to watch next of yours)
Thanks for such a lovely comment. I can't tell you how many of those tips originated with Lindsay to some degree...Either she said it, or I thought it as she mentioned something else, but she always makes me think. Those readers are the difference between me reading the name of a stamp set correctly on video, or me saying the name wrong and then announcing that I'm not wearing my glasses and need to get them... I love the baby bibs and especially ones with velcro, as they are so much easier to pull off the arm then the snapped ones. I buy mine at second hand stores or garage sales, as often I can get up to ten for a dollar, and I don't care if they are already stained, because I'll just stain them more. haha.... I try not to use expensive products in my videos, as I try to keep in mind that many of my viewers are on fixed or limited incomes with physical limitations, so you should be able to find videos on just about every tool and technique I can find....So glad you found my channel.. Sandy
Mia, I LOVE that your screen name is written in your language. Thanks so much for your great comment and I hope you can find similar inexpensive products wherever you are in the world...Sandy
That's a great idea...I just read another comment that it works for alcohol inks.....This is a terrific idea..Thanks for sharing it. As an fyi, I'd never seen the finger paint pads at my store until that day, only the newspaper looking kind. Sandy
Great ideas! I use a lot of the same DT items the same way. Never thought about the hand sanitizer. I found the base for the Lego style toys in the kids area to use for mixed media. One side is raised dots and the other is debossed dots.
Can you tell me more about how you use the Lego base? I wouldn't know what size to look for and the only thing I tried to make with Legos, was a diy Stamp a Majig...
It's a hard plastic square, 5x5 inches, in the kids toy section and it says TOP BLOX BASE PLATE. It has raised dots to attach the Lego pieces and I thought it would be good to apply paint and "stamp" it onto a mixed media piece. You could use it with clay for texture. I hope you find one! www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fh2savecom.files.wordpress.com%2F2018%2F04%2Fdollar-block-base-plates.jpg%3Fw%3D1024%26h%3D538&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fhip2save.com%2F2018%2F04%2F26%2Ffive-favorite-dollar-tree-deals%2F&docid=VGZkBaVktaUhoM&tbnid=v3HEP2d8ipqXqM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwjhrJ6d7IbdAhUlMnwKHQjdCmkQMwg8KAQwBA..i&w=1024&h=538&bih=710&biw=1536&q=dollar%20tree%20top%20blox%20base%20plate&ved=0ahUKEwjhrJ6d7IbdAhUlMnwKHQjdCmkQMwg8KAQwBA&iact=mrc&uact=8
I was going to ask for permission to tour the store, but when we got inside, they were super busy, so I didn't....So I was extremely nervous whenever I was near the front of the store, as I didn't want to get thrown out. There are times when I am almost whispering and kind of rambling...those were the times I was a little bit anxious (OK, scared) that they wouldn't appreciate me doing a video in their store, without asking.. Yikes! I'm so glad you liked the tips though...and will definitely be doing another tour of our brand new store that just opened. It seems to be a lot bigger, and I can't wait to see it. Sandy
Hi Sandy, brand new subscriber here. Sandy, I have to tell you, I have watched only several of your vids at this writing, but you are so entertaining!! I love you. Watched this Dollar Tree walk thru (excited to see more on that subject) as well as your very first video with a great tour of your art studio. So neat, clean and organized. I too love the Frugalcrafter as well as Golden Retrievers are my favorite dogs!! I have had three of them over the years and they are the best friends! So, needless to say, I love your spunk, sense of humor and determination! (and your hubby seems like a real peach!) keep up the great work and looking foreword to seeing more of you soon. Thanks. Lynn P. in Michigan
Lynn, Thanks so much for such a great note. I started my channel because I couldn't find anyone on YT who could tell me what tools would work for me, and I thought about all of the people with similar issues who don't have a voice on YT, and although I don't think I'm a great artist, I have loved every minute of this experience and I've met so many truly wonderful people like yourself. Lindsay has taught me so much, and I owe almost everything I know about crafts and DIY, to her. Sadly, my craft room is never that clean, and only made it through a couple of days after that video in it's clean state. I just don't seem to ever have enough storage for all of the crafty things I own. I lost Aggie, my largest golden, in December, and I still cry for her, as she followed me everywhere I went, and never left my doorway when I made videos. She was our first golden, then we got Bella, because Aggie was so firmly attached to our yellow lab, Noel, the dog in my YT photo..The vet told us with their relationship, he thought Aggie would die shortly after Noel, so we got Bella so that Aggie had a reason to live. Aggie made it through with the help of Bella, and as Aggie got older, we got our English/golden retriever, Honey for Bella. Aggie and Noel both lived to be 15 1/2 years old, and since Aggie was a big golden (85 lbs for a girl, big girl), we didn't think she would live as long. I know you have experienced the pain of losing these wonderful friends, and hope you still have one in your life. My Rich is the greatest, and we've been married 36 years and he never let my arthritis break us, even though I got diagnosed 2 weeks after we got married. We were so young and had no idea what this disease could do, and that was really truly lucky. Our ignorance was a blessing because if we had seen what the first ten years would be like, I don't think either one of us could have handled it. Four joint replacements, and a c1-c2 fusion of my neck that included a halo before age 32. I still maintain that there are so many worse things I could have than RA, and I truly believe that. I try to ignore the disease so others will too. I managed banks for my career, and when I finally took disability (after 25 years), customers couldn't understand why. I was really proud that they couldn't "see" my arthritis, even though it was right in front of them. I wanted to respond to your kind note and thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a lovely, kind note. You've clearly watched lots of my videos, and for that, I thank you. If you ever want to email me, feel free to do so... it's saundralparker@yahoo.com
Hello Sandy, what a sweet, sweet note back from you. I love the people you "meet" here via YT and all that one can learn. The world has greatly changed and so quickly over the past few years! Sandy, thanks for your background info. And yes...we have much in common! I will be in touch with you. BTW, where are you located...what state? I am in SE Michigan..I'm just curious. You and Rich have a terrific day Sandy!
We have several DT near us but you have shown stuff I never would have thought of. My next trip there will take me twice as long now, lol. Thank you so much for the tour. Nice to meet Rich, the man behind the scene. Appreciate all he does to get your videos out there for us to enjoy. I just wish I can get back into making cards again. I miss it so much. But my head is just not there. I am starting to think I will be sending out store bought Christmas cards this year. But if I never make another card I will continue to watch your videos. I enjoy them so much. Take care, Debi.
Debi, I hope you'll feel better by Christmas and feel up to making cards by then. I'll try to come up with some simple, quick Christmas cards that you can put out a lot in a short amount of time. Thanks for the nice note about Rich..it was his idea for that part of the video...he's going to make a card on video, as a viewer asked him to, and he knows all of the terminology since he edits every video. He might know more than I do...I hope I gave you some tips to give you ideas of things you can do while you recover, and I'll think about some cute and easy cards for you to get back into the swing of things when you feel like it...
@@craftingforalmosteveryone didn't have a great visit with DR yesterday but it's okay. Thanks for all your offers to make things easy to get back to the cards. But the medical stuff isn't the main reason. I just get burned out with my crafts and will just stop. Sometimes for years.so this is my norm But until the mood hits me again I will keep watching your videos. There is no way I would miss Rich's debut card making. Take care, debi
Yesterday, Rich handed me a template of his version of a fun fold card. He'd made an easel card, and since I've never made one on the channel, he'd never seen one before...how creative is that? I kept the template to show people when he does his card. He's so creative. I can understand getting burned out..I listen to our crafters on YT, and sometimes you can hear it in their voices that they are burned out too. Maybe when I've been doing this for years and years, I'll get burned out as well...I hope not, but we all go through phases, don't we?
I'm so excited, we just had a Dollar Tree open in my town!!! Can't wait to do a shopping trip!! Your videos are fabulous, I learn so much from you. Thanks so much!
I know you'll love your new Dollar Tree...Here are more tips for you from the new Dollar Tree that opened in our town...ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html I'm so glad you enjoy my videos and that I can help with finding less expensive ways to craft...Sandy
I use the holiday hangups out of felt for craft patterns on wood .I draw them out and cut them out and stain or paint them .I use the landry bags in my koi pond for crushed oyster shells and activated charcoal and lava rock in my filters
You are really innovative and creative with your Dollar Tree purchases....And thanks so much for sharing them with me. I made a second video with different creative ideas when the new Dollar Tree opened in the town I live in...Here's the link to it, ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html Let me know if you have more ideas to share...Sandy
I know you'll have a great time if you find a good store...Sadly some places have really pathetic DT...In the area around Washington DC, they're are dirty, under stocked, and just bad. Maybe before you visit, you should do a RUclips search with the name of the city and Dollar Tree, and you might find videos where they tour the stores...It would make it a lot easier to find one you enjoy, as I'd hate for you to be disappointed...
I went online and found this video and it seems like they were in Disney and used their GPS to find the closest Dollar Tree and I looked at the video and it's an amazing store there, so hope you find it.....and bring an extra suitcase or buy one at the luggage store they mention in the video, as you might have too much fun in the Dollar Tree....ruclips.net/video/iudV_WXFNIw/видео.html Have a great trip!!! Sandy
Wonderful outing with you. I see l can save a lot of crafting dollars by using some of these tips. It's a bit pricier here in Australia but a few dollars and cents saved can add up fast. Looking forward to your next video. Take care of yourself and the music man!
I'm so glad I can help you save money...That way you have it to spend on something else. I love trying anything that's a bargain, and never sell anything on my channel, so you can be sure if I give you my opinion on a product, that I'm not being paid to say anything, and if I hate it, I'll be the first to tell you...Thanks for your note about my music man, he's pretty handy to have around, and I wouldn't have the channel without him as I am not tech savvy....and he is..YAY!
Hi Sandy..new subscriber here. Wow! So many great hints. Who knew? I’m pretty new at all this and am so amazed at all you on RUclips, you see things so differently than most of us. We look at something and see just what it is...not what it could be. Thank you 👍🏻
Diana, You are so kind. I try to find ways to help other crafters save money, and made another of these videos. ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html Please let me know if you ever have any questions about crafty things, as I'm always glad to help....You can email me at saundralparker@yahoo.com ..Sandy
I love everything about this video, the theme, the ideas, how cute you and Rich are ... My husband just told me that my hometown is getting a new Dollar Tree, ans I said "I already know"!
Love the photo of you....Don't remember it being there before. Rich and I just made another field trip to the fair. Mostly I talk to animals there, but it's kind of funny when a goat ate my shirt sleeve....We need to get together soon..
Thanks Anne, I really try to explain things well, and if I don't, I write detailed instructions below my videos...so one way or another, you should be able to figure out what I'm talking about. In this video, I was nervous when we were near the front of the store, so every product near there, I talked faster and rambled or made almost no sense....Oh well, next field trip to the new Dollar Tree, I'll ask for permission before the visit, so I can talk slower, and hopefully, not ramble. haha Sandy So glad you stopped by to visit.
Naomi, I'm thrilled that this video has found so many new viewers. I love the DT too, and will definitely be making another road trip when our new one opens...
I kept my daughter's baby face cloths after she grew out of them for cleaning my stamps. She is 23 yrs old now. The face cloths are stained but well used!
Good for you! I love using the bibs, as they attach to the arm of my chair, and I just pull one off whenever I need one, and throw them in the laundry when my chair arms are bare. Mine are really stained too, but that's the point isn't it? And I get so much fuzz from baby wipes...didn't realize how many I was using until I stopped....I like the idea of finding a small way to reduce garbage..
I have 2 TV trays that I craft on and I have face cloths on each of the bends. Same for reusing and not throwing out. I try hard to recycle. I also use empty cereal, cookie, etc boxes for my paper cuttings and put the plastic coverings into a plastic bag it’s so much easier to plunk the boxes into the recycling bins when they are full.
That's really smart thinking...I try to recycle as much as possible and never use water bottles if I can avoid it. I'm lucky that our recycling takes all plastics, so we recycle a lot...It bothers me when we can fill a 40 gallon recycling container in two weeks with just two people and i think about places where there isn't any recycling and all of that goes into the garbage...it's sad.
Thanks Neva....Rich is also going to make a card on video after a viewer requested it..He's a great guy and the best partner in crime I could ask for. haha...
I felt really sneaky, trying to video without being noticed, but had the best time...Rich is a real trooper, and it was fun doing a field trip video...We'll definitely be doing another one when the new Dollar Tree opens here...
So glad I could share them with you...I have more in this video ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html I hope you find lots of products that you can use to save yourself time and money....Sandy
I'm glad you liked this video...I made another one with twenty more ideas when a new store opened in our town...here's the link in case you are interested.....ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html Sandy
Sandy, I love your videos, you are so funny, I believe it called a child's medicine drop, but your name for it cuter. Great idea to use the large paper pad from the kid's craft section, to do stamping, and messy crafting. That is now on my list to pick up next time I'm there. Thanks for video. Hugs, Karen
Karen, I was trying to be so sneaky, and hoping they wouldn't throw us out...and that made me flustered as the cosmetic/medicine area was near the front of the store...couldn't think of a lot of words and just used some "Sandy speak", haha....
Oh what fun shopping with Sandy and Rich!!!! Hi Rich!! Lol Some great ideas Sandy!!! I love the glue standy up thing...brilliant!!! Off to the dollar tree!!
Your so adorable and helpful and funny I might add. Thanks so much for all the helpful tips with saving and finding ways to use things we wouldn't have thought of, well i sure wouldn't have...
I made a newer version (not sure if you saw it) with another 20 items. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html So glad I can help you save money in ideas I can give you, and if you get a small giggle along the way, it's even better....
So glad you liked the video...I'm going to be making a similar video showing all of the crafty tools you can buy at hardware stores that are so much cheaper than when you buy the craft alternative...Hope you'll check it out..Sandy
@@craftingforalmosteveryone I sure will. I love watching people's ideas/hacks, and though I don't do paper crafting/card making (I'm an avid crocheter - mainly toys and have just bought a Cricut for myself this December...have yet to open it 😬), it's all crafting and could all use some hack or other from others. Also, you're so absotively adorable 😊🌹🧸
@@veesea8889 You're so kind. I got a Scan n cut in December, and like you, haven't opened it yet. I want to clean my craft room first, so it may sit there for a while, haha...
Aww, so good to see your sweet face :) Thank you for these great tips. I love all of your videos and appreciate so much that you take the time to create and share with all of us.
So glad you enjoyed the video. I'm going to be showing myself and Rich a lot more in upcoming videos, as people ask to see me, and I'm a little uncomfortable with my prednisone round face, and need to get over that...So happy you like the channel so much...
Hello again Sandy! I love every single one of these ideas from the dollar tree! I now need to go to mine and see if I can find some of these products. Thank for sharing these ideas with us. I’m all about trying to find inexpensive hacks for some of the crafting products I use and you gave me several ideas today. Thank you for all you do for all of us Sandy. Sincerely your crafty friend, Katz
Hey Katz, I'm so glad you enjoyed our field trip. We had a really good time....Sorry I haven't gotten your card in the mail...been a really weird week..Email me if you want to catch up....Sandy
Not sure if you saw this one...ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html and oddly, so many people saw the first one I made, but very few saw this one...I wonder if they thought it was the same video....any way....lots more new ideas for you...So glad you subscribed...Sandy
It's not very big, but it's clean and unlike some, doesn't have bins all over that you can't find anything in. We visited family near Washington DC and I couldn't believe how dirty, and how unbelievably hard it was to find things there. I feel bad for those of you that have those kinds of DT. I was shocked that instead of unloading anything in the stores near DC, they just pulled big boxes out and left them in the aisles, so customers could pull the merchandise right out of the box...that's pretty bad.
Amazing! What great ideas, many I knew but many I didn't. My problem is finding a decent Dollar Tree in our small town in NC. I try to visit neighboring towns in search of a good one.
I've been to some bad DT stores so I know what you mean. Ours are smaller, but have a decent selection, but nothing like the bigger stores that are in larger cities. And then you have the stores that nothing is on the shelf, and they have boxes sitting everywhere, and are in total disarray, and those (I think) are a problem with the manager and staff...My nephew lives in Raleigh and my brother-in-law lives in Morehead City, so I've been to some stores in NC, but they were small like mine, bummer..Thanks for the nice comment, Catherine.....Sandy
For anyone who doesn't know you can order online from dollar tree! Some things you have to get in bulk but if you're crafting with it that might work for you. They do free site to store. It takes about a week to get your items to the store.
Thanks for the input Stacy. I'd love to know what you bought in bulk...as I've never found anything there that I needed to buy twelve or twenty-four of....You are my Dollar Tree guru..
So glad you liked it...I loved your photo...cute dog... I'll be doing another one of these videos on the next week or so, as our new DT is opening this week, YAY! Sandy

This was so fun Sandy! Thanks for the shout out!
I love everything you do and will always give you credit. Couldn't find the right pad the first time looking through the rows...Darn!!
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich you had some good ideas.

A THOUSAND THUMBS UP!!! Beyond thorough, as always. Hubby has the same pleasant, radiant countenance as you. CLONE THIS COUPLE. Everyone needs a neighbor like you.
Oh, you could not have made me smile any bigger!!!! Thanks for such a lovely compliment. Rich is going to do a card on video, as a viewer asked for it, and he's up for anything...You have to love a guy whose willing to do whatever you ask? I'd love to have a neighbor like you as well..
Good video. I have almost all of those items. I do enjoy your Dollar Store tours. These types of videos is one of the reasons they do so well and are expanding, so they should have no problem with videos in the stores. It's free advertising.
I had the new local store tell me I couldn't video inside, but then changed their mind when their area manager told them it was OK....So glad you liked the video. Here are more crafty hacks from the new DT in town. ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html Sandy
Well yes, I did enjoy this video...Thank you very much for taking time to share with us.
Charline, I'm so glad you liked it, as I wanted to cover products that people all over the world would be able to find, and not just here in the US...I'll be doing another one when our new DT opens..Sandy
We don't have Dollar Tree Store here in Canada but I'm not far from the US...So I'll look up for a few things when I go shopping there!
I don't see where the dollar store would have problems with this video as it will make them lots and lots of money. This is great ideas and thank you for the wonderful tour.
Ellen, Thanks so much for your kind words. I've talked to the people in my DT before about DT videos, and they look at me like I am crazy. They have no idea why anyone would be interested in their stores. I would have asked, but they were really busy, then once we got started, I was worried that they wouldn't be happy that we had filmed without permission...I'll definitely ask before our next visit to the new store..Sandy
the shoe protectors are also great to use for storing your stencils in. On my lights Houston Souls with my texturizing paste that I also make out of cornstarch based baby powder! You really know the tricks Miss Lady thank you so much! And it's very classy that you give a big knowledgement to other Crafters on RUclips. I really like to see women supporting other women and you are all stars!
Laura, You are too kind. I'm going to have to check out shoe protectors, as I'm not sure what they look like. I store my stencils in an accordian folder and it works great (another Lindsay idea.) I'd love your recipe for cornstarch based baby powder texture paste and would definitely give you credit for it.... You can always email me at saundralparker@yahoo.com Sandy
Great video! I use the cutting mats like you,and I use them for making stencils from my cutting dies. Thanks for sharing 💜😄
I thought of trying it, but hadn't, so thanks for the great tip. I've been seeing people using self healing mats you use for sewing, as replacements for their plastic cutting plates in their Big Shots, and am definitely going to look into trying that. Have you tried that?
you were just such a sweetheart! Around the 4-minute time the tip of the spray bottle is adjustable so you can have a fine stream or a nice mist and the pump bottles are actually in the nail polish section they're used typically for nail polish remover.
My DT doesn't have the pump bottles (and I tried the nail polish section..) I think I said my DT isn't the best. I'm really hoping the new one is bigger and has better selection. The spray bottle was close to the front of the store, and I was kind of panicking that we would be thrown out for the video, so was trying to talk as fast as possible about the spray bottle and forgot to mention the adjustable tip. darn... I have another one from there that's made like Tim Holtz's spray bottle, but of course, they didn't have them at my store to show you. Again, hoping to find it at the new store. Thanks for your tips and help with the things I forgot to mention. I really appreciate it as so many viewers read the comments... Sandy
Hello Sandy & Rich! This is helpful to me ... still a newbie crafter. I'll use it as a visual reminder when making my supply runs. TFS.
Glad to help..If you ever need any help with any of my tips, please email me and I'd be happy to lend a hand. saundralparker@yahoo.com.
Thanks for all these great savings idea. Any crafter know that crafting can be really expensive. It's better to save your buck for the non-replaceable items.
I am so inspired!😃
Even though we I don't live in the US, I will be finding smililar products in my country for the most part.
Thank you!!🙏
You're right...crafting of any kind can be super expensive, and I tried to show products that are universal, so people outside the US can find them in their inexpensive stores. Oh, and I always type the whole explanation of the video below it, so you can print that out and take it with you so you remember what products I used and what I used them for. Happy shopping....Sandy
@@craftingforalmosteveryone Well done, Sandy - you certainly did find universal items!
Loved your recommendations.
So happy to hear that they can be found universally....YAY!!
Such GREAT ideas. I’m going to watch this again with a pen and pad of paper. To write things down so I don’t forget anything.
Linda, So glad you liked it...You shouldn't ever have to write down anything from my videos, as I write all of the information below the video, including links to videos I've made with every product and what I use them for. I wanted to make my channel accessible to as many people as I could, and the closed captioning on YT isn't very good, so if hearing impaired individuals want to watch my videos, they have the notes below them to follow....So you can print it out and take it with you. Hope that helps....Sandy
Thank you! God Blessed and may He continued to give you strength to make us smile along with you as you do your craft etc ... And you are so true with your words of making others Happy, like you said it's not all about the money.. A peaceful night to you...
You are such a sweet woman, Margaret...Thank you..
Very informative...thanks for sharing...I use the chopping mats to make templates...you can trace your work by placing it under the mat and they cut easily with scissors for a template.
Sandra, that's a terrific idea and I wouldn't have thought of trying it...When you say template, do you mean like a stencil?
Very informational.............I think I watched half dozen video's to get to you, thank you so much!
You're so kind. I made a second of these videos when a new DT store opened in our town. Here's the link in case you would like to see it. ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html I love hearing from viewers, so if you have a video you'd like me to make, please let me know...Sandy
Yes, very imformative. Thank you very much! You are a sweetheart. And thanks to hubby for tech support!
So glad you enjoyed it. Rich is terrific tech support and I wouldn't have a channel without him. A viewer asked if he would make a card on video, and today he handed me a template of a fun fold idea he had. He'd come up with an easel card, and since I've never made one on video, he'd never seen one...I can't wait to show that template when he makes his card..
So many good ideas. I dont paper craft much but I do other crafts and was like wow I didn't think of that!!
Glad I could help with some ideas that work for you. I made a similar video with new tips when a second Dollar Tree opened in our town..here's that video if you're interested in watching it. ruclips.net/channel/UCiFSJBbEoVIywsQvKMUG0mQsearch?query=twenty Sandy
Love these types of videos on repurposing common items inexpensively for crafting! I hope to see more!
DeAna, I'll definitely be doing another one when our new Dollar Tree opens. It was so much fun..
Hi Sandy great to see you!!! Great job excellent, fantastic love it .. Do you know why I love the things you do and say ? You are always thinking of others and I love you for that, someone is always smiling one way or the other and you are also, always happy at doing it... Very great ideas ...Margaret here !have not forgotten.. Lots and lots stuff going on.... Please continued doing the good work...love you..later.
Margaret, I'm so happy that I can make you smile. All I wanted when I started the channel, was to be able for people with physical limitations to have a voice on RUclips....I'm so glad that my channel has taken wings, and will always be in it for the love of the people and not about making any money....The channel has given me so much more in the way of sweet friends and it's worth more than any money they could pay me....Thanks for being in my corner!!!
Sandy. Thanks so much for this video. I knew about a couple items, but many I had not considered! And actually your dollar tree is so much better than in my area so I guess they are all different! I need to find a better one. Look forward to the next videos on some of these finds
I attached a lot of the videos and will have some new upcoming videos for the things I didn't show...Hope you'll let me know what you think about the ones I did attach...
Oh my goodness, i had no idea there were so many things I could get from Dollar tree for my crafting. Cant wait for my store to open in the morning. Thank you!
Hope you haven't gone there yet, as I made a second one of these videos with even more ideas. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html
I will walk around my Poundland store here in the UK with new eyes now I have watched your video. I thought I had some good ideas for using non craft items but Sandy, you are a star! What a lovely lady too, I can tell you have a good heart! I’ve subscribed so I can glean more of your knowledge. Thanks for the hard work you must put into your videos x
Judy, I'd love to hear the non-craft items and how you use them, as I'm always looking for ways to save money on craft items...Your note warmed my heart! Sandy
Sandy and Rich it was great to see you two in person outside your craft room...
I'm always at the Dollar Tree Store....I love looking around for some ideas just like you did today...well done and tfs....looking for more ideas in the future.
So glad you enjoyed the video and can't wait for my new store to open and I can share another one. I know viewers have tons of additional hacks, and I could have spent all day there, showing mine, but just thought I was becoming too obvious and was afraid we'd be kicked out..
Wow, these are super great ideas!!! I have one to share: I use hair bands around my ribbon spools to keep them from unwinding. Works great.
Genius idea....thanks for sharing....Sandy
So glad I found your channel. This is the first one and I have a lot of ideas from this.. Thank you, I look forward to other videos
So happy you've enjoyed this video. I made another when I visited the new DT in my area..ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html I hope this gives you even more ideas. Sandy
@@craftingforalmosteveryone Thank you
@@lauragoodman3378 You're welcome.
That's it I'm of to my local cheap shop tomorrow with new eyes, love that you have help .I love going on trips with you as you come up with lots of new uses for crafting with every day stuff. Hugs from the UK
Cath, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Rich and I went to a "Euro" store when we were in Italy years ago, and loved that the Dollar Store was kind of worldwide...I have lots more ideas where these came from and with the help of ideas from viewers, I'll be ready for a second round by the time the new store (and hopefully better one) opens up...
So many great ideas. Almost makes me want to get into crafting again...someday!
Sherry, You never know when the urge will hit you, and I hope you give in to it...Doing crafty things is great for stress relief and terrible for the wallet, but takes your mind off of things when you might need a break...Sandy
Thanks, Sandy, for all these lovely ideas!
Hugs to the girls!
Hey Elin, So glad you liked the video and hope you'll find some of these tools at your inexpensive store.
Can't wait to see that video. I need to binge watch ALL your videos to catch up. Like this video, I've downloaded your notes from previous research videos you've done for future reference. We've been doing a yard cleanup of 5 years of neglect pulling out miles of gorgeous but pesky ivy that escaped from pots, cleaning up the "sugarpops" from our 20 fir trees, and garloning blackberries & trees that sprouted from seeds from everyone else's trees. I'm truly NOT a good neighbor and shouldn't have wished myself on you.
Oh don't worry, I have two dogs that bark like maniacs, so I'm not the greatest neighbor either...Loved your description of yourself by the way, and it makes me laugh...we'd be great neighbors... If you're going to watch all my videos, you'll be binging for a long time, as there are over 350 of them...good luck with that. haha....
Very helpful video! Love all of the tips that I never would have thought of otherwise. Love the way you really showed and explained everything - great video! Thanks for taking your time to make this!
Thanks so much Tiffany...I made a second one when our new Dollar Tree opened....ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html I hope you find more helpful ideas.
very helpful! I'm always shopping at dollar tree but never really considered for crafting tools. will definitely reconsider, thanks so much!
Cristina, I'm glad I can be of help, and tried to stick to products that you can find anywhere (outside of the US)...I hope you'll give a couple of these ideas a try...I'm doing another one of these when our new Dollar Tree opens..Sandy
OMGosh. I LOVE YOU! I have been a scrapbooker, card maker and Hooker (crocheted). 🤣. So glad I found you. ❤️❤️
I'm so glad you found me as well. I'm a little bit quirky, and sometimes make up my own craft terms, but I hope you'll find videos that you enjoy. I mainly make cards, but am open to trying almost anything. I used to crochet (loved the hooker term, as I thought it was so funny), and hope I'll hear from you again!! Sandy
Wow... thanks for all those ideas. They really are handy and practical. I'll have to try some of them. Thanks again. Many blessings.
Mara, If you have any issues with trying the tips I give, and need any help, please email me as I'm always glad to help...saundralparker@yahoo.com Sandy
Thanks so much for your lovely and very informative video.I wish we had a Dollar Tree my side of the world !
Hey Helen, I wish you did as well. I tried to pick items (for the most part) that can be found worldwide...maybe not for a dollar (or your money's equivalent), but inexpensively, hopefully. Our new Dollar Tree is opening this week, so I'll be visiting the new store and making a video in the next couple of weeks. I hope you'll check it out. Sandy
Subscribed! I too have RA, so you're in my heart. I am a crafter too, mostly knitting and crochet, but I am really getting into the junk journal making and loaded-cards. I was diagnosed in 2005 with RA, but my case was mild, and fortunately it never messed with my hands. However, once the RA moved to my lungs and eyes, it went into remission in my joints. Its eating away at my lungs, but I don't even have morning RA stiffness anymore. Be well!!
I'm so sorry I never responded to this comment, as YT just posted it to my site today. I don't know how these things happen, but unfortunately, they do. I'm sorry to hear that your RA has gone into your lungs and eyes, and hope that with the time that's passed, things have much improved. I hate hearing that others are being diagnosed with this disease, but luckily, the joint and overall body damage to new RA patients is usually not as bad as when I was diagnosed in 1982. I sincerely hope that you are doing well and that you continue to make the crafting things you discussed in your note. I'd love to see a photo of some of your crafty creations...saundralparker@yahoo.com Sandy
So many ideas I never knew! How have I managed without knowing about your channel! Thank you so much!!
You are so kind. I LOVE your screen name! I made another of these videos when the new DT opened in our town, with a bunch of new ideas. Hope you enjoy it. ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html If you have any ideas you'd like me to cover in a video, please let me know, as I'm always looking for new ideas my viewers would enjoy...Sandy saundralparker@yahoo.com
Oh sandy and Rich! That was fabulous!! We don’t have dollar trees in my part of Canada dang it! But in Texas they do!! You are truly a book of knowledge! That my dear
Lady was a plethora of information!! Thank you both for that it was great!! And I’ll be using those ideas!!
I hope when you get back to Texas that you'll take a list with you....and buy lots of fun Dollar Tree goodies.
Awesome video Sandy , great tips for any crafter . Thank you for sharing.
So glad you enjoyed it. We had a lot of fun sneaking around our Dollar Tree, in the hopes we wouldn't be caught...I don't know if our local Dollar Tree is ok with making a video....didn't want to get thrown out, as that would have been so embarrassing...
Great ideas. Hope your new store has more of the things you like.
Carol, Thanks for the nice note. My store is small compared to ones I've been to in larger cities, and I'm hoping the new one has a lot more selection. I watch videos of other Dollar Trees, and I keep thinking, "our store never had those." I will be doing a crafty ideas field trip from the new store when it opens. I hope you'll come along for the ride. Sandy
Shopping with a Sandy! What an exciting new element to your repertoire! This could be a regular segment on your channel from time to time. A lot of us lack your knack for seeing craft uses for non-craft objects. Thanks so much for sharing with us! It was good to see “the music man” on the screen! 😊
We had so much fun and will definitely do it again. Rich has been asked to make a card on video and will be doing that soon and that should be a lot of fun....
Sandy, thank you so very much for sharing your "hacks" with fellow crafters! Crafters who live in the U.S.A. don't realize how very lucky you are. The last time we were at our home in Southern Ca., I'd spent a little time before we left the U.K. watching a few crafting vlogs. However, it seemed that no matter which "Tuesday Morning" or "Dollar Tree" my poor family patiently followed me to, seemed to be sold out of all the excellent goody hauls I'd seen & am used to getting when we're back home in the U.S. :(. We do have "Pound Stores" (like "Dollar Tree") here but they have next to no crafting supplies (even hackable items). Crafting seems to still be in it's l o n g infancy in the U.K. & card making is, by far preferred over scrap booking. I'm a big Anna Griffin fan & there must be some kind of secret code that crafters need to have studied to know especially when Anna's "end stocks" come in, LOL. Some of the hauls you ladies & gents find make me jealous!.....Ah well, maybe next time. Thanks again Sandy, new sub.
I tried to stick to as many items as possible that you can find pretty much anywhere. We were in Italy many years ago, and found a "Euro Store" and had to go inside. It was very much like our Dollar Tree...I agree about the Tuesday Morning hauls...I've been in a few Tuesday Mornings and have never found the things that these ladies find...Honestly though, I do think that they shop there at least three times a week and maybe every day, to find the things they find. I'm not that kind of shopper and want to find the same things every time I go, like at my Dollar Tree. There were maybe three things on my list that they no longer carried at my Dollar Tree, so I'm hoping my new store will have them.
I've made friends all over the world, and often they will tell me they have no stores that carry card making supplies, and that makes me really sad. If you haven't found Aliexpress, they sell everything and anything you'd ever want for card making there and shipping worldwide is free. I've bought a lot of things there and especially love their micro brushes tinyurl.com/yafrnx4s and tinyurl.com/y7ffxsjn to fill ink spots I've missed, and especially, for putting glue on the backs of thin die cuts. I'm sad that you don't have access to the craft stores we have in the US, but hope you'll be able to find a lot of the things I mention at your local "Pound Store." I've often wondered if you have thrift shops or garage sales in the UK? I find a lot of things that I re-purpose for craft things at those as well. Email me any time at saundralparker@yahoo.com if you can't find a particular product, as I love hunting for things for others...Sandy
I am so Glad I found you. Thank you so so much
Gwen, I'm happy you found me as well. I'll be doing another DT field trip once our new store opens. Sandy
I did have very many friends oh who I am kidding maybe one. I hope we can become friends.

Hi, I have watched many craft shows, Dollar Tree trips, and I do not find you annoying at all! I enjoy watching this video, and I'm sure many more to come. I have found many new ideas from you, and I think they are great! Keep up the good work, I enjoyed your video.🦉
I'm so glad you don't find me annoying...I was trying to avoid the clerks as I hadn't asked for permission to video there, so I sometimes came off as a little bit distracted when I was close to the front desk....Here's another trip to our new DT store with a bunch more ideas for you...This time I did get permission to film.. ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html I hope you find more of my videos that you enjoy..Sandy
Hi Sandy! Great job as always, I wish I was over there to get some of those goodies...missed talking to you but I have not forgotten you...I am a tab busy.. and great news I have finely hauled and still hauling some goodies from on line... Sandy I be hearing you some time soon hoping to get things going.. GOOD HEALTH , PEACE and BLESSINGS for 2019.
Wow...great video! Thanks for all the tips and tricks!
So happy you enjoyed it Laura...I hope you'll give some of them a try. They've all worked well for me.
Awesome Video! I absolutely love all of the Dollar Tree hacks! I just saw the dispenser for nails today. I saw where they have swifter cloths great for glitter clean up. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Tell Rich thanks also that he does great work.
I had so many more I could have done, but wanted to get out before we got caught...and saved some for my next secret visit....Thanks for the reminder about Swiffers, that reminds me about Mr Clean sponges and coffee filters..I'll have to make a new list...
Crafting For Almost Everyone I haven't heard of Mr. Clean
WHAT? The bald guy on cleaning commercials from the 1960's and 70's? He makes an eraser that you can use for all kinds of things...here's a link to them. tinyurl.com/ycftndpm
Wish we had shops like this in UK. Everything seems so cheap and great choice of items
I know it's sad that you can't find bargains, but you might look at aliexpress.com, as a lot of the things they sell are really inexpensive and don't have shipping charges..
Thank you for sharing all these tips, Sandy! I have used all these products and tips before. Another product that can be used from the Dollar Tree for crafts is baby oil. I use it with Q-tips to in place of gamsol and blending stumps to blend out color pencil colored images.
Thanks for the reminder. I ran out of time and was afraid they'd throw us out for the video, so left a bunch on the table for next time..
This was great Sandy, I use a lot of what you showed but some are new to me. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
So glad you liked it and hope you'll share some of yours with me...If you know any Dollar Tree tips that I forgot, I'm happy to share them in my next field trip..
Hi Sandy. Who doesn’t love the Dollar Tree,? A crafters best friend😀. Thanks for another delightful and informative video. And it’s great to meet Rich!
So glad you enjoyed the video and that you got to meet Rich...He's going to be helping me with more videos (in front of the camera), as viewers have asked for him to make a card on video and he's agreed...He's the greatest....and handsome too..
Thank you so very much for sharing your tips, tricks and wisdom 😃💕💕💕
So glad you enjoyed the video....I made a different one when a new DT opened in our town...hope it gives you even more ideas. ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html
Those were fantastic tips/hacks Sandy! Thanks so much for sharing with all of us.
Glad to share and I hope you try some of them..
Loved this video, I'm a big fan of Lindsay the frugal crafter also. I love your enthusiasm and WOW you packed this video FULL of great ideas. Love those of US over 40 & the readers, but most of all your earth friendly and recycle Ideas. I am a BIG BIG BIG fan of yours now and will be getting baby bibs- true aha moment, they are just like microfiber cloths,LOL (even though my kids are grown) so Big thanks for all these great Ideas!! (plotting now which videos to watch next of yours)
Thanks for such a lovely comment. I can't tell you how many of those tips originated with Lindsay to some degree...Either she said it, or I thought it as she mentioned something else, but she always makes me think. Those readers are the difference between me reading the name of a stamp set correctly on video, or me saying the name wrong and then announcing that I'm not wearing my glasses and need to get them... I love the baby bibs and especially ones with velcro, as they are so much easier to pull off the arm then the snapped ones. I buy mine at second hand stores or garage sales, as often I can get up to ten for a dollar, and I don't care if they are already stained, because I'll just stain them more. haha....
I try not to use expensive products in my videos, as I try to keep in mind that many of my viewers are on fixed or limited incomes with physical limitations, so you should be able to find videos on just about every tool and technique I can find....So glad you found my channel.. Sandy
I forgot to mention....Lindsay commented on this video too...YAY!
WOW I learned something new today. Thank you thank you thank you...love your ideas I am glad I found you.
Mary, I'm thrilled that you found my channel and hope the tips I gave with give you a few new ways to save money with crafts....
Sandy Really great hacks and so useful . Thank you for sharing with us and your time and afford . hugs Mia
Mia, I LOVE that your screen name is written in your language. Thanks so much for your great comment and I hope you can find similar inexpensive products wherever you are in the world...Sandy
Thanks for posting all these great ideas! FYI - I use the shinny finger painting pads for pallet paper in my Stay-Wet Pallet - works great.
That's a great idea...I just read another comment that it works for alcohol inks.....This is a terrific idea..Thanks for sharing it. As an fyi, I'd never seen the finger paint pads at my store until that day, only the newspaper looking kind. Sandy
Great ideas! I use a lot of the same DT items the same way. Never thought about the hand sanitizer. I found the base for the Lego style toys in the kids area to use for mixed media. One side is raised dots and the other is debossed dots.
Can you tell me more about how you use the Lego base? I wouldn't know what size to look for and the only thing I tried to make with Legos, was a diy Stamp a Majig...
It's a hard plastic square, 5x5 inches, in the kids toy section and it says TOP BLOX BASE PLATE. It has raised dots to attach the Lego pieces and I thought it would be good to apply paint and "stamp" it onto a mixed media piece. You could use it with clay for texture. I hope you find one!

Thanks for the info...Such a smart idea!
Thx for the whirlwind tour and gobful of hints and tips! Fun!
I was going to ask for permission to tour the store, but when we got inside, they were super busy, so I didn't....So I was extremely nervous whenever I was near the front of the store, as I didn't want to get thrown out. There are times when I am almost whispering and kind of rambling...those were the times I was a little bit anxious (OK, scared) that they wouldn't appreciate me doing a video in their store, without asking.. Yikes! I'm so glad you liked the tips though...and will definitely be doing another tour of our brand new store that just opened. It seems to be a lot bigger, and I can't wait to see it. Sandy
Hi Sandy, brand new subscriber here. Sandy, I have to tell you, I have watched only several of your vids at this writing, but you are so entertaining!! I love you. Watched this Dollar Tree walk thru (excited to see more on that subject) as well as your very first video with a great tour of your art studio. So neat, clean and organized.
I too love the Frugalcrafter as well as Golden Retrievers are my favorite dogs!! I have had three of them over the years and they are the best friends! So, needless to say, I love your spunk, sense of humor and determination! (and your hubby seems like a real peach!) keep up the great work and looking foreword to seeing more of you soon. Thanks.
Lynn P. in Michigan
Lynn, Thanks so much for such a great note. I started my channel because I couldn't find anyone on YT who could tell me what tools would work for me, and I thought about all of the people with similar issues who don't have a voice on YT, and although I don't think I'm a great artist, I have loved every minute of this experience and I've met so many truly wonderful people like yourself. Lindsay has taught me so much, and I owe almost everything I know about crafts and DIY, to her.
Sadly, my craft room is never that clean, and only made it through a couple of days after that video in it's clean state. I just don't seem to ever have enough storage for all of the crafty things I own.
I lost Aggie, my largest golden, in December, and I still cry for her, as she followed me everywhere I went, and never left my doorway when I made videos. She was our first golden, then we got Bella, because Aggie was so firmly attached to our yellow lab, Noel, the dog in my YT photo..The vet told us with their relationship, he thought Aggie would die shortly after Noel, so we got Bella so that Aggie had a reason to live. Aggie made it through with the help of Bella, and as Aggie got older, we got our English/golden retriever, Honey for Bella. Aggie and Noel both lived to be 15 1/2 years old, and since Aggie was a big golden (85 lbs for a girl, big girl), we didn't think she would live as long. I know you have experienced the pain of losing these wonderful friends, and hope you still have one in your life.
My Rich is the greatest, and we've been married 36 years and he never let my arthritis break us, even though I got diagnosed 2 weeks after we got married. We were so young and had no idea what this disease could do, and that was really truly lucky. Our ignorance was a blessing because if we had seen what the first ten years would be like, I don't think either one of us could have handled it. Four joint replacements, and a c1-c2 fusion of my neck that included a halo before age 32.
I still maintain that there are so many worse things I could have than RA, and I truly believe that. I try to ignore the disease so others will too. I managed banks for my career, and when I finally took disability (after 25 years), customers couldn't understand why. I was really proud that they couldn't "see" my arthritis, even though it was right in front of them.
I wanted to respond to your kind note and thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a lovely, kind note. You've clearly watched lots of my videos, and for that, I thank you. If you ever want to email me, feel free to do so... it's saundralparker@yahoo.com
Hello Sandy, what a sweet, sweet note back from you. I love the people you "meet" here via YT and all that one can learn. The world has greatly changed and so quickly over the past few years!
Sandy, thanks for your background info. And yes...we have much in common! I will be in touch with you. BTW, where are you located...what state? I am in SE Michigan..I'm just curious. You and Rich have a terrific day Sandy!
I'm about an hour south of Erie PA in n/w PA, so we really aren't that far from each other...maybe 4-5 hours...
We have several DT near us but you have shown stuff I never would have thought of. My next trip there will take me twice as long now, lol. Thank you so much for the tour. Nice to meet Rich, the man behind the scene. Appreciate all he does to get your videos out there for us to enjoy. I just wish I can get back into making cards again. I miss it so much. But my head is just not there. I am starting to think I will be sending out store bought Christmas cards this year. But if I never make another card I will continue to watch your videos. I enjoy them so much. Take care, Debi.
Debi, I hope you'll feel better by Christmas and feel up to making cards by then. I'll try to come up with some simple, quick Christmas cards that you can put out a lot in a short amount of time. Thanks for the nice note about Rich..it was his idea for that part of the video...he's going to make a card on video, as a viewer asked him to, and he knows all of the terminology since he edits every video. He might know more than I do...I hope I gave you some tips to give you ideas of things you can do while you recover, and I'll think about some cute and easy cards for you to get back into the swing of things when you feel like it...
@@craftingforalmosteveryone didn't have a great visit with DR yesterday but it's okay. Thanks for all your offers to make things easy to get back to the cards. But the medical stuff isn't the main reason. I just get burned out with my crafts and will just stop. Sometimes for years.so this is my norm But until the mood hits me again I will keep watching your videos. There is no way I would miss Rich's debut card making. Take care, debi
Yesterday, Rich handed me a template of his version of a fun fold card. He'd made an easel card, and since I've never made one on the channel, he'd never seen one before...how creative is that? I kept the template to show people when he does his card. He's so creative.
I can understand getting burned out..I listen to our crafters on YT, and sometimes you can hear it in their voices that they are burned out too. Maybe when I've been doing this for years and years, I'll get burned out as well...I hope not, but we all go through phases, don't we?
I'm so excited, we just had a Dollar Tree open in my town!!! Can't wait to do a shopping trip!! Your videos are fabulous, I learn so much from you. Thanks so much!
I know you'll love your new Dollar Tree...Here are more tips for you from the new Dollar Tree that opened in our town...ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html I'm so glad you enjoy my videos and that I can help with finding less expensive ways to craft...Sandy
I use the holiday hangups out of felt for craft patterns on wood .I draw them out and cut them out and stain or paint them .I use the landry bags in my koi pond for crushed oyster shells and activated charcoal and lava rock in my filters
You are really innovative and creative with your Dollar Tree purchases....And thanks so much for sharing them with me. I made a second video with different creative ideas when the new Dollar Tree opened in the town I live in...Here's the link to it, ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html Let me know if you have more ideas to share...Sandy
Smart way to save money on projects good job..
Thanks so much Ce Ce...I'm happy you took the time to write to me....Sandy
Had a great time watching you! Love Dollar tree, but sadly I do not live in USA! Will be visiting the Dollar tree on my next visit there.
I know you'll have a great time if you find a good store...Sadly some places have really pathetic DT...In the area around Washington DC, they're are dirty, under stocked, and just bad. Maybe before you visit, you should do a RUclips search with the name of the city and Dollar Tree, and you might find videos where they tour the stores...It would make it a lot easier to find one you enjoy, as I'd hate for you to be disappointed...
@@craftingforalmosteveryone, great idea! Thanks. I will be visitng Florida - Orlando in July, I can't wait!
I went online and found this video and it seems like they were in Disney and used their GPS to find the closest Dollar Tree and I looked at the video and it's an amazing store there, so hope you find it.....and bring an extra suitcase or buy one at the luggage store they mention in the video, as you might have too much fun in the Dollar Tree....ruclips.net/video/iudV_WXFNIw/видео.html Have a great trip!!! Sandy
Awesome! Really great ideas 💡 thanks!
Hey Sherry, so glad you liked them..
Wonderful ideas, thank you so much. I will surely look at items in dollar tree for more uses than one.
I have a lot more ideas and will be doing another video when our new store opens..
Will look forward to watching. Thanks.
This is a great video full of clever hacks.Loved them all!
So glad you enjoyed it and hope you give some a try. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at saundralparker@yahoo.com
Great ideas! Thanks! I’d love to hang out and explore the dollar store with you, Sandy!
YAY! Looking forward to my new store opening...

Wonderful outing with you. I see l can save a lot of crafting dollars by using some of these tips. It's a bit pricier here in Australia but a few dollars and cents saved can add up fast. Looking forward to your next video. Take care of yourself and the music man!
I'm so glad I can help you save money...That way you have it to spend on something else. I love trying anything that's a bargain, and never sell anything on my channel, so you can be sure if I give you my opinion on a product, that I'm not being paid to say anything, and if I hate it, I'll be the first to tell you...Thanks for your note about my music man, he's pretty handy to have around, and I wouldn't have the channel without him as I am not tech savvy....and he is..YAY!
Hi Sandy..new subscriber here. Wow! So many great hints. Who knew? I’m pretty new at all this and am so amazed at all you on RUclips, you see things so differently than most of us. We look at something and see just what it is...not what it could be. Thank you 👍🏻
Diana, You are so kind. I try to find ways to help other crafters save money, and made another of these videos. ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html Please let me know if you ever have any questions about crafty things, as I'm always glad to help....You can email me at saundralparker@yahoo.com ..Sandy
I love everything about this video, the theme, the ideas, how cute you and Rich are ... My husband just told me that my hometown is getting a new Dollar Tree, ans I said "I already know"!
Love the photo of you....Don't remember it being there before. Rich and I just made another field trip to the fair. Mostly I talk to animals there, but it's kind of funny when a goat ate my shirt sleeve....We need to get together soon..
Great tips . You do a good of explaining thing. This is the first video of yours I watched.
Thanks Anne, I really try to explain things well, and if I don't, I write detailed instructions below my videos...so one way or another, you should be able to figure out what I'm talking about. In this video, I was nervous when we were near the front of the store, so every product near there, I talked faster and rambled or made almost no sense....Oh well, next field trip to the new Dollar Tree, I'll ask for permission before the visit, so I can talk slower, and hopefully, not ramble. haha Sandy So glad you stopped by to visit.
Sandy you are amazing! i love your ideas and suggestions. thank you so much for the tour.
So glad to help....Any videos you'd like to see, let me know and I'll give it a whirl..
Love your video. I am happy I found you. Great tips,I love the DT.
Naomi, I'm thrilled that this video has found so many new viewers. I love the DT too, and will definitely be making another road trip when our new one opens...
That was a lot of great tips ......
Mary
So glad to help.
I kept my daughter's baby face cloths after she grew out of them for cleaning my stamps. She is 23 yrs old now. The face cloths are stained but well used!
Good for you! I love using the bibs, as they attach to the arm of my chair, and I just pull one off whenever I need one, and throw them in the laundry when my chair arms are bare. Mine are really stained too, but that's the point isn't it? And I get so much fuzz from baby wipes...didn't realize how many I was using until I stopped....I like the idea of finding a small way to reduce garbage..
I have 2 TV trays that I craft on and I have face cloths on each of the bends. Same for reusing and not throwing out. I try hard to recycle. I also use empty cereal, cookie, etc boxes for my paper cuttings and put the plastic coverings into a plastic bag it’s so much easier to plunk the boxes into the recycling bins when they are full.
That's really smart thinking...I try to recycle as much as possible and never use water bottles if I can avoid it. I'm lucky that our recycling takes all plastics, so we recycle a lot...It bothers me when we can fill a 40 gallon recycling container in two weeks with just two people and i think about places where there isn't any recycling and all of that goes into the garbage...it's sad.
Loved watching you and Rich out and about!
Thanks Neva....Rich is also going to make a card on video after a viewer requested it..He's a great guy and the best partner in crime I could ask for. haha...
Thank you, Sandy. That was fun!
I felt really sneaky, trying to video without being noticed, but had the best time...Rich is a real trooper, and it was fun doing a field trip video...We'll definitely be doing another one when the new Dollar Tree opens here...
Thanks for sharing all of these wonderful tips, with videos!
Sona, So glad to help. Let me know if you have any questions about any of the tips I gave. saundralparker@yahoo.com
Great tips, very informative! Thanks. I’ll definitely try these tips. I’m always in Dollar Tree now I can look for these items. 🤗
If you have any questions about how I use any of the products, please email me and I'd be happy to help. saundralparker@yahoo.com Sandy
Sandy I enjoy your videos SO much! This one I'm putting in my save video category. Such great ideas! Keep 'em comin'!
I'll be doing another field trip when the new store opens...Already have a list of fifteen items to share..Sandy
Lots of GREAT ideas Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
So glad I could share them with you...I have more in this video ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html I hope you find lots of products that you can use to save yourself time and money....Sandy
Thanks for sharing those great uses of the DT products
I'm glad I could help...if you have any questions, please email me and I'd be happy to answer them...saundralparker@yahoo.com
This is my first time on your channel, girl I like you...you think outside of the box!
I'm glad you liked this video...I made another one with twenty more ideas when a new store opened in our town...here's the link in case you are interested.....ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html Sandy
I am so glad I found you again, you may not remember me. Great hacks, love your channel.
I'm so glad you found me again as well...it's been a while...So glad you liked the hacks.
Sandy, I love your videos, you are so funny, I believe it called a child's medicine drop, but your name for it cuter. Great idea to use the large paper pad from the kid's craft section, to do stamping, and messy crafting. That is now on my list to pick up next time I'm there. Thanks for video. Hugs, Karen
Karen, I was trying to be so sneaky, and hoping they wouldn't throw us out...and that made me flustered as the cosmetic/medicine area was near the front of the store...couldn't think of a lot of words and just used some "Sandy speak", haha....
Thanks so much Sandy
So glad to help..
Oh what fun shopping with Sandy and Rich!!!! Hi Rich!! Lol
Some great ideas Sandy!!! I love the glue standy up thing...brilliant!!!
Off to the dollar tree!!
So glad we gave you an idea....we'll be doing another one once the new (and hopefully improved) Dollar Tree opens...
It’s also a great way to keep your brushes upright..I use them for makeup tools and for craft tools and brushes...
Your so adorable and helpful and funny I might add. Thanks so much for all the helpful tips with saving and finding ways to use things we wouldn't have thought of, well i sure wouldn't have...
I made a newer version (not sure if you saw it) with another 20 items. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html So glad I can help you save money in ideas I can give you, and if you get a small giggle along the way, it's even better....
Great tips Sandy, and a fun video too. Thanks!😎
Linda, Thanks so much for the note...Rich and I will do another field trip when our new Dollar Tree opens..
Awesome and informative video with some very clever "tool" hacks 👌😎
So glad you liked the video...I'm going to be making a similar video showing all of the crafty tools you can buy at hardware stores that are so much cheaper than when you buy the craft alternative...Hope you'll check it out..Sandy
@@craftingforalmosteveryone I sure will. I love watching people's ideas/hacks, and though I don't do paper crafting/card making (I'm an avid crocheter - mainly toys and have just bought a Cricut for myself this December...have yet to open it 😬), it's all crafting and could all use some hack or other from others.
Also, you're so absotively adorable 😊🌹🧸
@@veesea8889 You're so kind. I got a Scan n cut in December, and like you, haven't opened it yet. I want to clean my craft room first, so it may sit there for a while, haha...
Aww, so good to see your sweet face :) Thank you for these great tips. I love all of your videos and appreciate so much that you take the time to create and share with all of us.
So glad you enjoyed the video. I'm going to be showing myself and Rich a lot more in upcoming videos, as people ask to see me, and I'm a little uncomfortable with my prednisone round face, and need to get over that...So happy you like the channel so much...
Hello again Sandy! I love every single one of these ideas from the dollar tree! I now need to go to mine and see if I can find some of these products. Thank for sharing these ideas with us. I’m all about trying to find inexpensive hacks for some of the crafting products I use and you gave me several ideas today. Thank you for all you do for all of us Sandy. Sincerely your crafty friend, Katz
Hey Katz, I'm so glad you enjoyed our field trip. We had a really good time....Sorry I haven't gotten your card in the mail...been a really weird week..Email me if you want to catch up....Sandy
You are a wealth of information ! Thank you👍👍👍
So glad to help. I love saving money on as many supplies as I can.
Really awesome and creative ideas!
So glad I could give you some ideas. Sandy
Thanks so much for these tips..some of them I Did not know about..just found your channel..love it....
So glad you found new tips and that you love my channel...you made my day!
Oh my gosh, how did I ever miss this! Thank you so much.
Not sure if you saw this one...ruclips.net/video/bXfuT9Dac7E/видео.html and oddly, so many people saw the first one I made, but very few saw this one...I wonder if they thought it was the same video....any way....lots more new ideas for you...So glad you subscribed...Sandy
Love, love, love, this video! Thank you for sharing... Some really great tips!
So glad you enjoyed it and from your screen name, you must have a lot of tips of your own..Sandy
Wow, your Dollar Tree is soooooo clean!!💙🐝💙
It's not very big, but it's clean and unlike some, doesn't have bins all over that you can't find anything in. We visited family near Washington DC and I couldn't believe how dirty, and how unbelievably hard it was to find things there. I feel bad for those of you that have those kinds of DT. I was shocked that instead of unloading anything in the stores near DC, they just pulled big boxes out and left them in the aisles, so customers could pull the merchandise right out of the box...that's pretty bad.
@@craftingforalmosteveryone wow.
Amazing! What great ideas, many I knew but many I didn't. My problem is finding a decent Dollar Tree in our small town in NC. I try to visit neighboring towns in search of a good one.
I've been to some bad DT stores so I know what you mean. Ours are smaller, but have a decent selection, but nothing like the bigger stores that are in larger cities. And then you have the stores that nothing is on the shelf, and they have boxes sitting everywhere, and are in total disarray, and those (I think) are a problem with the manager and staff...My nephew lives in Raleigh and my brother-in-law lives in Morehead City, so I've been to some stores in NC, but they were small like mine, bummer..Thanks for the nice comment, Catherine.....Sandy
For anyone who doesn't know you can order online from dollar tree! Some things you have to get in bulk but if you're crafting with it that might work for you. They do free site to store. It takes about a week to get your items to the store.
Thanks for the input Stacy. I'd love to know what you bought in bulk...as I've never found anything there that I needed to buy twelve or twenty-four of....You are my Dollar Tree guru..
This was a fantastic video. Soooooo much information. Thank you!
So glad you liked it...I loved your photo...cute dog... I'll be doing another one of these videos on the next week or so, as our new DT is opening this week, YAY! Sandy
