The DOLLAR TREE Seasonal Decor Party

May 20th sneaked up  on me and I didn't even realize it was the 20th today.....

and I want to wish my beautiful daughter, 

STACY and JENT

a HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY 24TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

She has been sick the last few days and when she is feeling like it,

I will make her an ANNIVERSARY PIE.

We love you to the moon and back....

XOXOXO

FUN...FUN...FUN...




HI, EVERYONE....
    There's LOTS OF GREAT PARTIES going on today...

 Ever so often, your friend and mine, DEBBIE DOO, along with
        FOX HOLLOW,
              hosts a crafting party

that's more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

I try my best to play in ALL her parties..even tho crafting is HARD for me.
(I have to depend on glue, safety pins and lots of cups of COFFEE...SOMEtimes a glass or two of WINE helps me out A LOT..:)

  (I joined in with their CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE and it was sooo fun.)

 For THIS Seasonal Decor Party, I started with a clear, plastic, round TRAY.....$1.00...

 ...a darling little metal GECKO

and, since I have a FETISH about cute GIFT BAGS,

I chose the one above because I am going to make

myself an 

AWESOME POOL TRAY
*

BECAUSE...

if you remember,

THIS incredible swimming pool

is right outside my future dining room,

and I thought a cute POOL SIDE TRAY

was in order.

Sooo, this little clear plastic tray needed a coat of WATERMELON

and it would be on it's way to

C.U.T.E.

(Debbie's the one who told us about
WATERMELON SPRAY PAINT....)

 

Lovin' the pink color...

lookin' so much like a good ripe watermelon, I could just LICK it....!

I cut the cute gift bag and MOD PODGED it on the PINKNESS...

hot glued the little GECKO onto  the side....

Yes, ma'am....just to add AMAZING to that little cheap tray.

Uh...Oh...

did I get waaay too much podge on it ...???

 

ahhhh....look at that...

just as smooth as a baby's butt bottom...:)

 I'm lovin' my $3.00 tray...

TRAY....$1

GECKO...$1

GIFT BAG...$1

Already had paint and mod podge..

I WISH I had some of the CRAFT SCISSORS that make really pretty edges...

but, I don't ...

will put those on my "I WANT THAT" list.

 AND.....I am so SOOO ready for summertime...

water....

flip flops

sunglasses

SUN BLOCK

ice cream...

I'd love to be sitting in that chair, on that cute little rug,

beneath that colorful  umbrella....

RELAXING with a delicious, cold drink. 

 

With the tools of today...HOT GLUE GUNS...MOD PODGE....

 one who is NOT crafty can now participate in 

CRAFT PARTIES in BLOGLAND

and actually make something that one MIGHT consider a CRAFT.

I'll show you how I am already using my 

GECKO TRAY

.....maybe tomorrow.

OK....OK...

here's a hint.....

 XO XOXO
