Fourth of July Party Supplies

A recent Dollar Tree haul included some cute Fourth of July party supplies.  Sometimes simple things make me so happy. You know when you see something at The Dollar Tree that might be popular or seasonal, you need to pick it up then and there.  So maybe a bit early (since it is still June), […]
