Dollar Tree Sunflower Dishes - An Amazing Party Find

 With fall right around the corner, I am LOVING the sunflower dish line that Dollar Tree is putting out on the shelves right now. 

** This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

These plates are GORGEOUS and definitely affordable at $1.25.  (they are also currently available online in smaller quantities here)

Not only would they make a pretty fall tablescape, but they could also be used a party serving tray, and possibly be turned into a cake plate or tiered tray.  

You can see the 10.5 inch dishes here.  They are currently available in a minimum of 4, and will ship FREE to your local store.

The smaller 8 inch plates have a slight different print with smaller flowers.  They are also currently available in quantities of 4.  You can see them here.

 The bowls are a really nice size at 5.5 inches.  They are currently available in online as well, which you can see here.  Their minimum quantity is 12.  

I LOVE the mug. I think it is my favorite dish in the collection.  Unfortunately they are no longer on the website, so you will need to try to find one in person.  I do occasionally find some with the other mugs in the dish aisle in addition to the main display.  

Which one is your favorite dish in the collection? Let me know in the comments.

Lovepop Greeting Cards, a fun way to celebrate

 

Have your heard of lovepop cards? I will admit that until a few weeks ago, I hadn't.  Recently I was asked if I would be interested in trying .  I looked at the website, and was immediately their birthday cards out.  As a disclaimer, I did receive the cards for this review, but the opinion in this review is 100% mine. 

A few days after I ordered, I received this nice mailer with my cards.  I liked the message on the envelope that let the mail handlers know not to bend the contents inside.  Instead of trying to fit the mailer in the mailbox, my mailperson ran it up to the door and stuck it inside my screen door, so it was in great condition.

There are several different types and sizes of cards on the lovepop website.  The first items I looked at were the 3D popup stickers.  I chose the Hibiscus flower, the cupcake and the birthday bear. They are were all adorable, and could be used in a variety of ways.  They stand about 3 inches tall, and were very easy to assemble. 

Since I love unicorn, I also chose this Awesome Unicorn Play card. I wasn't sure what to expect with the play card, but I was pleasantly surprised. On the cover of the package, I found out that there was a surprise stencil included, and a fun fact on the back of the card. Also on the back of the card is a QR code that takes you to a fun website where you can play interactive games with cute characters.

The card itself is adorable. The unicorn and a few tiny rainbow friends are sitting on a cloud.  There are places on the card where you can use the stencil, and some crayons or colored pencils to personalize the card. 

I also chose three full size cards that were completely different from each others. I love this Party Cat playing on a keyboard. I chose it, because my youngest loves cats.  

 

One feature that I really like in all of the bigger cards is that they have a pull out note card where you can add a sentiment without having to write on the card itself. 

I chose the Birthday truck because of my love of red trucks.  (if you are interested and also love red farmhouse trucks, you can see my red truck craft post here. )  

This card screams fun to me, with all the fun details like the balloons, banner, and party animal passengers.  

I also have a love of gnomes, so I chose the Woodland Gnome Birthday Cake.  I noticed the card was a bit thicker than the others, which made since since it is the biggest pop up. 

I love all the tiny details on this card. (my picture does not do it justice.  At the top of the cake are several candles with a teeny tiny tea party table in the middle.  They happy gnomes are waving and  holding tea cups.  Around the cake are wrapped gifts and adorable mushrooms.  If you know someone who also loves gnomes, they would definitely like getting this card. 

The lovepop website is super easy to navigate.  They have cards for all types of occasions (anniversary, wedding, graduation, sympathy, new baby and more)  and all the holidays (Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day and more). I already have my eye on some of their Halloween cards, because they super cool and would make great decor pieces. 

If you want to save some money, they have promotions such as their current 15% off for Christmas in July.  Another promotion is when you buy 5 large cards in the same order, their large cards are discounted to $10.   If you buy a lot of cards, you might also want to look into their rewards program where you earn points to receive rewards.  

Do you have a favorite card in this review? Let me know in the comments below. 

I am very glad I had the chance to do this review, so I could share these awesome cards with you.

The Party Wish List

This weekend I was looking around on Amazon and came across some really cool items, that would I would love to own.   Some items I found  would be a lot of fun to have for a party, others would make a great gift for either yourself or someone you love.  Since we have only three months until Christmas (where did the time go?!), I thought I would put all of these great finds together in an aStore called The Wish List.  As we get closer to the holidays check the page for time to time for fun find, gift ideas, or great deals.  I do need to disclose that items on this page and in the astore are affiliate links.

 

I was very excited about this find.  How much fun would it be to have a life size Elsa and Anna cardboard cutout for your Frozen fanatic. They could be used as a great back drop or photo booth at a Frozen party, and for your child to pretend they are part of the Frozen movie.  

I recently saw this in my feed on Facebook.  I love  ice cream, and to have my own Cuisinart soft serve ice cream maker is definitely on my wish list.  If you have a lot of parties this could be an investment to have on hand for future parties.  It would also make a great gift for ice cream lovers everywhere. 

I have an older version of the Cricut that I love, so I am including this Cricut Explore Electronic Cutting Machine to the wish list.  There are so many things that you can make with the Cricut. Cut out shapes to use at your themed party or in your scrapbooks. You can even cut vinyl and make your own gifts. 

I have a few Wilton tips that I sometimes use on projects. I bet I would use them a lot more if I had a Wilton 2104-0240 Master Decorating Tip Set.  They would all be in a nice kit, and not always getting lost in my decorating supplies. 

I actually have this Babycakes Cake Pop Maker. It really does make making cake pops super quick and easy.  I plan on bringing it back out this week to work on some Halloween cake pops 

I will be adding several more finds like these in the aStore in the tab under my header.. Stay tuned..
