Me and a dollar store...

So, yesterday was the last meeting of the year for one of my PPCD teams. One of the administrators graciously offered to host the gathering at her home (yippee--no reservations or carting stuff around...color me relieved!). I love hostess gifts and *try* to take them when I go places (not always possible, and if you're a good friend, sorry, not going to do it every time!), especially in a case like that where she was doing me a huge favor. So, I was going to buy fresh flowers. Then I started second-guessing myself...she's got 4 kids, what if someone's allergic...so I was like, fine, I won't take anything. But, when I was at a dollar store yesterday picking up chalk for the teacher gifts (dang it, I forgot to take a picture! Will have to make one for Kayci's teacher just to snap a pic...), I was checking out and I saw something and thought, that's it. So I went back in and found a cool bucket, grabbed a tie-on card and ribbon at the grocery store when I picked up the food trays, and voila--hostess gift. The card says, "have a ball with your kids this summer!" :) And I'm a happy girl.
