dollar spot deal...

What's the first stop on your Target shopping trip? Yasss! THE DOLLAR SPOT. Well, they've got these SUPER cute and SUPER versatile 4th of July trays right now for $5! They have a red, blue, and a white one and they come with rope handles. Of course I go for the white because it's the easiest to play with and use for other occasions.

I keep a few craft paper pads around for just in cases, I mean...doesn't everyone?

Well, that's all you need to give your  tray a little face lift so you can use it for different occasions. Cut your paper pad to fit your tray and you're set. Easy peasy.

 And when you make a mess or spill something on it, or are ready for a change, just toss the old one and put a new one in.

The aftermath of date night

That's it! We have already used our 4th of July tray for Mother's Day breakfast in bed and date night, and it's not gonna be put away after the 4th. It's here to stay!

If you really want to do a more extensive face lift. Just sand down the bottom of the tray a bit (the part with words on it) and give it a coat of craft paint or spray paint. It is still a great deal at $5!
