Hobby Lobby, Dollar Tree, Target, and Walmart Shopping Sprees and Another Blog Award

I just linked up (7-31-12) with Kristen over at Ladybug's Teacher Files for a Summer Shopping Linky Party!! Now you know we all love to shop!!!
Good morning Bloggy Friends! Well I have been busy shopping for the upcoming school year.  I was wondering where I was going to find all the cute things that I would need to transform my room into my version of the wild west. I was starting to feel bummed about choosing a western theme because I really couldn't find anything to go with it and did not like a lot of the bulletin board sets.  Well I hit the JACKPOT when I went to Hobby Lobby.  Now I know what all the bloggy guru's mean when they were feenin obsessing over HL!! It is now officially my go to store. (Don't worry Target I still love you!!) Anywho!! 
Here are some of the great finds I was able to snag:

First Stop Hobby Lobby

I am using the bandana print border from CD so these will be perfect! : )

Aren't these just adorable!  Love the little purses!! Will my little sweeties not 
love them?  I will use these for "Meet the Teacher" Day.

Sheriff badges, cowbell, and little wooden plagues to make pointers with.

Scrap-booking paper-I might create a cute clipboard!! 

Paper plates to make my rules with,  cute bowls and trays (two in a pack).

Western picture frame, wooden barrel, and containers. I love it!!

How cute are these? I'm mad that they were out of the cowgirl pattern.
They came from Joann's Fabrics. My daughter will paint them for me!

Denim and bandana print fabric and ribbon (all of it was on sale)!
 Oh!! The spray bottle is to make my curtains flame retardant
(I had to take my curtains down last year!!).

Second Stop Dollar Tree

6 Baskets for my centers, little containers and educational sticker charts, and
magnetic vowels.

The crayons came from Toy's R Us 4 for a $1! I purchased 24. I like to have them on
their desks on the first day of school. I save the ones they bring for after the new year.

Next Stop Target

Dr. Seuss Items. I also got some of the blue pocket charts and the Star Student Seat Cover.

Final Stop Walmart

25 Pencil Pouches for my Communication Binders, duct tape, the big
 container will be for my clipboards and last but not least from the
 88 cent corner, speech bubble accents.

Insert "Joker" like grin here!! I am like a kid at Christmas!! Now I am motivated to work on all of my projects to get my room finished.  Hopefully I can get in there next week!!!  Stay tuned...
