Hey guys, welcome back!
This is my first Dollar Tree haul of September.
I went to the Dollar Tree in Brampton to see if I could find some things that they did
not have at the Dollar Tree in Meadowvale.
Like I said when I went there in late August, they didn't have any Halloween things, they
didn't even have that much fall stuff, so I was surprised cuz I see all of you guys
hauling the Halloween stuff!
So the good thing is, I did find a bunch of Halloween stuff, as well as some things I
couldn't find - including this, which has been on my wishlist for months!
This camera tote bag - I had gotten the impression that they might not be selling it anymore,
and at the very last second while I was in the checkout, I saw it hanging there, and
I freaked out and grabbed one.
This one's kinda bent, but that's okay.
I just, I love this bag.
This is a bag I would actually use; that drawstring backpack that I picked up with this print,
I probably won't use, but that's okay cuz I have a DIY idea for it.
So I just picked up three food items today...
I picked up another pack of the hazelnut Happy Swing, because they're really really good.
The chocolate ones are pretty good too; I didn't like them initially because they're
not very sweet, but they kinda grew on me.
So I was going to pick up a second chocolate one as well, but they didn't have them there
for some reason.
And then I picked up these two bags of the Go(2)Snax chips and the cheese puffs, because
everyone has been saying they're really good, and I needed some chips!
I was very excited to find the chopping mats; I've seen a lot of people using them for crafting,
and some of them have actually been used IN crafts.
Actually I thought it was kinda funny, you can see on the wrapper - I don't know if you'll
see it on camera, but it says, you know, "Good for carving, chopping, and crafts"!
It's a two-pack, so for $1.25 you're getting two, so that's 75 cents a pop.
And I wanted to try it out as like a crafting mat, because crafting mats are really, really,
really, REALLY expensive, and I've heard that these work pretty well.
They look smooth, which is good, cuz I need a surface to use those Tim Holtz inks on...
because for those who don't know - I didn't know til I started trying to use them - when
you use the Tim Holtz, if your object is like, here - if this is what you're trying to ink
on - you have to start outside it and move your way in.
So you need a surface to do the inking on that is smooth, so it won't pick up too much
of the ink, or you're gonna have no ink on the blending tool by the time you get to what
you're actually trying to put ink on.
So this seems pretty smooth, so I'm gonna try it out, because again, the "real" craft
mats that are at Michaels are ridiculous; I think the cheapest one is like $32.00.
I got some Salon Selectives hairspray to go with that hair chalk I bought when I went
to Meadowvale, because I had no idea how to use hair chalk, so I was googling it, and
apparently if you want it to stay in your hair for longer than 30 seconds, you need
to like, hairspray it.
And again, like I've said before, I'm not good at being girly, so I have never owned
hairspray in my life, so I picked some of this up just to try with the hair chalk.
I did manage to find the inspirational calendar, so I was very excited to find that.
They definitely had more variety of calendars at this store, so I grabbed it.
This is probably the one I'm going to take to work, since it's all inspirational... and
again most of the prints are really big, so using it for crafting probably isn't going
to work.
So I will probably take this one to work.
I picked up this 3-pack of the three different sizes of the foam tape, a lot of people have
said that these work really well.
And then I just grabbed a 12-pack of different sizes of binder clips for like, holding stuff
in place while I'm making stuff.
I was going to use all the magnet clips that I have, but I'm thinking those might not hold
quite as tight, depending on what it is I need, so it doesn't hurt to have some of these around.
I've gotten a bunch of ideas for magnets and stuff lately, so I picked up two more sheets
of the adhesive magnet...
I already have one that I haven't used yet, but...
I have an idea!
And then I picked up some magnetic tape to try, and then the magnetic buttons for a crafting
idea that I have.
I forget who I saw haul this little butterfly box, but... actually I thought they got it
at Dollarama, and then I found it at Dollar Tree... but it gave me an idea for covering
it with this butterfly paper, so I picked up a second pack just to make sure I had enough,
because there's only two of the butterfly sheets in it, and I don't know if that's going
to cover this, so I picked up one more just to be safe.
I found a whole bunch of the Good Dog stuff, which made me VERY happy, cuz like I said,
they had almost none in Meadowvale.
So I just grabbed all the patterns that I really loved! [laughs]
I saw someone haul, I think the full-size notebook with this, "This Is How I Roll" pattern,
and that's the one I was looking for.
They didn't have a full-size so I just grabbed this, cuz it's... ridiculous, so [laughs]... I grabbed that...
I grabbed the one that says, "Goin' Out Easy Breezy", with the dog sticking it's head out
the car window...
And then I don't know if I've ever seen someone haul this pattern, but it's really cute.
It says, "Is it time now?
Is it time now?
How about now?" [laughs]
I thought it was so cute - it actually reminds me of my first dog.
He was a pointer, and he kinda had this pattern - like he was black here and black here and
had black ears.
So it actually looks a lot like my very first dog, so I kinda fell in love with that, so
I thought I'd grab those.
The last time I went to the Brampton store, they didn't have any stack packs; this time
they had a bunch.
I've seen this one before, the birthday paper...
I picked it up because I'm looking to do card-making, and obviously birthday cards are pretty popular.
And then I also picked up the blue Deco Paper, because I just really liked some
of the patterns, especially that one!
I'll do a quick flipthrough of each of them for you... but yeah, I just picked up each
of these cuz I thought that they were cute.
And they had the pink one too, it didn't really do it for me as much, and they had all the
other patterns of this pad I'd seen before...
I can't find the vintage stack anywhere and it's driving me crazy cuz that one looks gorgeous.
But I grabbed these two anyway, so I'll do a quick flipthrough of the patterns...

I only got two sets of non-Halloween stickers, although one of them I got for Halloween...
I bought these birthday hat & balloon stickers because I just randomly saw them sitting there
and again, I want to get into card-making; needed a couple more birthday things.
And then I picked up this sheet of the gem stickers to use as embellishments for some
of the Halloween stuff I want to make, so it's technically not Halloween, but I bought
it for Halloween.
And the last non-Halloween item, for crafting, that I bought was just this Chalk Writer,
because I got some chalkboard sheets in that destash I bought from CaliG here on YouTube
a while ago, and I didn't know what to do with them, cuz I don't have any chalk... so
I thought I would pick this up and see what I can do with them now that I have something
to write on them with!
And now we're getting into the Halloween stuff!
There wasn't too much there... they had two endcaps full of Halloween things, and they
had a sign up that said, "Pre-Season Halloween Sale"... not really sure what that means...
I assume that must mean they're going to have more Halloween stuff eventually?
I hope so!
I didn't find all of the stuff that I've seen people hauling, but I did find some stuff
- I don't know if I've seen anyone haul these stickers yet.
But I got two sets of each cuz they're all really adorable!
So I got two sets of this one that says, "Boo!", and it's a skeleton, and a little haunted
house, and "Spook Time", and a ghost wearing a witches' hat... so I got two of those.
I got this one that says, "Boo!", "Trick or Treat", "Scary", "Wow!", there's ghosts in
different hats, little owls, it says "Happy Halloween"... so I got two of those as well.
And this one with the witch, and another "Happy Halloween", a little mummy, and little token--
er, icons... and this person dressed as a ghost... so I got two of those.
And then lastly I got this one, with photo corners, I just noticed that now...
"Fright Night", "Party Time", "Spooky"... again it's just really cute.
Most of these are like pop-up stickers as well, and I got two sets of these also.
I hauled a bunch of the little felt stickers...
I just got one pack of the witches' hats and shoes, cuz they're not that cute... they're
cute, but they're not that cute.
But I did get two each of the other sets - I got the one with the pumpkins and the bats
and the ghosts, and the ghosts are kinda hidden in the back there... but I got two sets of
those...
And then I got two sets of the pumpkins, bats and cats... and I think there's something
else in there, more pumpkins?
More pumpkins.
So I got two sets of those as well, cuz they are really adorable, especially the cat!
I was very excited to find the LED lights!
I got two sets of the skulls... it's upside down... got two sets of those, and then I
got one each of the bats and the - whoops! - and the pumpkins, because I have a set of
bat lights and a set of pumpkin lights that I got at Target, back when Canada had Target.
I miss you, Target.
I miss you so much.
So since I already have two strings-- a string each of those, I thought I'd just get one more.
They don't quite match, but they're good enough.
And then two of the skulls, cuz I don't have any skull lights.
And finally I picked up some of the wraps and stuff.
I got this sparkle mesh; it's suggested to use for wreaths, but I'll probably just use
it for other things.
I got one with the silver spider webs and one with the gold spider webs... focus!
... cuz I just thought they were really cute.
I'm not sure if I've seen people haul these, but yeah, I just got one of each to play with.
And then I got three of the diamond wraps...
I thought there was supposed to be one with pumpkins on it, but I couldn't find it.
This is the one - it's probably not going to show, but this is the one with the spiders
on it... yeah, it doesnt want to show... it's got spiders on it, though! [laughs]
And then I got the purple one with the bats...
... and then I got the silver one with the skull and crossbones on it... again, just
to play with.
I hope I can find the pumpkin one, unless I'm hallucinating and there weren't any pumpkin
ones, but I could have sworn there were...
That's it for this haul.
I hope you enjoyed; if you did, please give me a big thumbs up.
