dollar bin

May 6, 2011 4 Comments

Target is a dangerous place for me. I should not be allowed in the store without supervision and I really should not be allowed in with either of my two best friends. X and S are bad influences and we just act as enablers. Last night, S and wandered the aisles of Target while waiting for our takeout for our girls' night in. I found these little aqua greek key treasures in the dollar bin. Perfect score for organizing small items for the office/craft room. I can't help browsing the dollar bins for … [Read more...]
