SENIOR MOMENT 4 WOMEN

I was visiting my local Dollar Store 2 weeks ago. I was  hunting for new gem and crystal stickers , to add to my collection. The addition of bling to your DIY projects is a necessity.  This store  had gotten  in a new feature. Lots of   art and craft   supplies were stacked  on the shelf.  Lovely  unfinished stretched canvas pictures   were  on display. I have never heard of this  craft.   I decided  to get a few of these pictures.  They m ay all be gone  next week. I will watch  some  online videos which   will help me learn  how to  paint on canvas .  I was  ready to experiment  with the canvas painting after  I reviewed a  few  painted stretch canvas pictures.  Here  are the details for my project: MOTHER'S DAY STRETCH CANVAS PICTURE: NEED: Crafter's Square Stretch Canvas ,  Unfinished, 8 inch x 10 inch  ( for ...

I seem to be obsessed with my mini purple tree. I purchased it during the Easter season. This store had these mini trees in three colors: pink, yellow, purple Purple is my fave color, so I only grabbed one purple tree. I regret not getting two or three  of these mini trees. The store no longer has  them in stock.   I used my purple tree for  Easter and added mini Easter ornaments  on it.  I suddenly realized that I could use  the  mini tree for other occasions.  I have been reviewing online catalogs and videos. I needed to get ideas on  ways to use my mini purple tree. My  goal was to get ideas  for Mother's day  gifts. My Mom has  four grown children.  She's received  so many gifts for Mother's  Day in  the past. I'm trying to avoid giving her the same old gifts.  I finally got a  great  idea for using the mini purple  tree. Here is  the details for my Mother's  ...

  I loved viewing florist websites as a way to relax after work. One day I saw a display of kissing balls. Some of them were round, covered in flowers. A few were even shaped like animals.  A lot of faux flower blooms,  foam,  and  glue  were required. I was inspired by the kissing ball crafts. I even made several for my  friend's tables for their rainbow tea parties. A few years later, I lost interest in the kissing balls.  I saw designs for corsages to give as gifts to people for birthdays, weddings, and proms. I discovered that corsages were nice to wear for other occasions. I could make corsages for my Mom and me to wear  during  the Easter holiday. I thought that I might make corsages for the Mothers at my church. I abandoned this idea because the names on my list of Mothers grew to over twenty. I wouldn't  have enough time to get the corsages finished in time  for Mother's Day. I decided to just make corsages for me and ...

I usually visit a Dollar Store weekly. My local store adds new merchandise every Monday. I wait until Tuesday to visit this store. By this time the aisles are free if clutter. The new items are on display at the front of the store.  The Easter display featured boxes of mini pastel trees. The trees is were in colors, pink, purple, and yellow, according to picture on the boxes. I quickly grabbed a purple tree.  I searched for mini ornaments. There were only multicolored mini egg ornaments in stock. Shades of purple ribbon was available. There were no mini tree skirts in stock.  Earlier in the year, fabric swatches were available.  The  store had shades of purple in bundles.  These swatches would make pretty mini tree skirts. They had  removed their fabric to make  room for Easter Decor. Mini  Easter lights were available but, I didn't  buy  them. I decided that lights and ornaments  on  this mini tree would be too dramatic. ...
