Gel Pens from the Dollar Tree

Check out this test and review of Jot brand metallic gel pens found at the Dollar Tree.

Are they worth it?

Even at a dollar, there are items at the Dollar Tree that just aren’t worth the price. Have you wondered about the Jot Metallic Gelli Pens? Check out my test and review of them to see if they are worth it for you.

2021 Calendar

Grab this free printable 2021 calendar by subscribing to the email list that is sent once a week on Friday morning.

This colorful calendar is a free download gift from Try it – Like it – Create it. The file is a PDF. Each page contains two months, just cut the pages in half. You’ll print out six pages, cut them in half, and then you’ll have the twelve pages for your calendar.

If you would like a smaller version as pictured, print out the files at 70% on your printer. This will result in a calendar that is 6″ x 4″. Just the right size to fit within a frame. I suggest one of those clear acetate versions. Or use clips as I have.

Enjoy! To get the file, join the mailing list on the right side of this page. The link is included in every email at the top. Try it – Like it – Create it emails are sent every Friday morning.

Dollar Tree Colored Pencils

Dollar Tree carries a lot of different craft products. The problem is that not all of them are worth purchasing. Check out my review of Metallic and Watercolor Pencils and find out if they are worth it. #Dollartree

Are they worth it?

Dollar Tree carries a variety of craft products. Sadly, not all of them are worth the dollar spent. But for the other products, it is really wonderful to be able to save and get a craft supply for a dollar. Besides food, I imagine craft products are a very popular category at the Dollar Tree.

The two packages of pencils I recently found are metallic pencils and watercolor pencils. In the video below I demonstrate using them and if they are worth the buy.

Making a Mini Christmas Card

Grab this free SVG file and make a cut mini Christmas Card for gift giving.

What a fun little Christmas card. It is a perfect paring for gift giving. While small, since it is an SVG file you can enlarge the card to your desired size. I cut mine on a Cricut Maker.

Materials:

  • card stock
  • paper
  • personal cutting machine
  • free SVG file
  • tape runner (or adhesive)
  • bone folder (optional)
Cutting on the Cricut Maker

Being a visual person, I was so excited to receive the Holy Land Illustrated Bible from Lev3l Digital. I enjoy the additional content that is included. In addition to the biblical text, there are images, maps, illustrations, and articles. This really helps envision the time and places.

In the image above, you can see for yourself how those additions are presented. The additional content is identified by the gray bar across the top of the page. Images are full color and contain explanations to go along with them, bringing you further in the context of the word. You can also see the ribbon bookmarks, there are two of them. The book is large and substantial.
