Fun Finds and Freebies

Over the weekend I went to Dollar Tree to stock up on paper for correspondence kits and I picked up some cool stuff. There was a display with stuff for VBS and I greedily bought it all.I am hoping to get to the bigger store later this week to see if there is even more.

There were 3 different sticker books and I also got these cut-out shapes.

As an added bonus, I found these a make a scene booklets.

Now on to freebies…. I learned from Jessica, who learned from Michelle that you can make 4 FREE photo books each month at Hotprints! Well, they aren’t completely free, because you do have to pay $2.99 (each) for shipping, but it’s still a pretty good deal.

I got mine in the mail today, and was quite pleased. I can’t wait for July so I can make 4 more. They are very thin and should mail very nicely.

Take a look…

I had fun finding pictures of my parents and Kevin’s parents so our sponsored kids could see more of our family.

That’s all I’ve got for now….go make your photo books and plan a trip to Dollar Tree!

I love the make a scene booklets...I bought the jungle one not long ago, that was the only boyish one they had at the time. I will definitely have to go check and see if they have the pirate and aliens too...and stock up on the stickers. I don't think kids can ever have enough stickers ;)

I'm sure the stickers don't last long - I know they don't in our house!
I had some stickers donated to me for my last trip to Zimbabwe, so if you look at my photos from the Christmas party, all the kids are covered in stickers...so funny. I can see our Compassion kids doing the same thing!
I clear out the VBS section of the Dollar Tree every year. lol! I will have to look for the make-a-scene books!

I love the HotPrints books! So glad that someone mentioned them on OurCompassion. They're fantastic and you can really add a LOT of photos to each one.

(Remember, it is four per customer per month! You can always make some for your hubby as well! ;) )

I thought about that - about setting up an account for my husband. I guess then I could get enough for all our kids in 2 months instead of 4! I hate to take the time to reload all the pics and remake the book - I was looking forward to just re-ordering

I'm headed to a bigger Dollar Tree later today in hopes of finding more make-a-scene books.

I looked all over our Dollar Tree yesterday and didn't see the make-a-scene books! Hopefully next time!
I just got back and only found one. Both times I have found them, they have been thrown in the bottom bin. I'm thinking they might be an older item....
