Lookee what i made with my dollar spot mini gel pens!!!
I loved those little pens at the dollar spot, and I needed about 20 inexpensive gifts, this is what I came up with for about $6 for all of them. I still have the red and pink ones to make.

I guess you could say I'm Norwegian by marriage??? (If that's possible?);) DH is 100%!! He says I act more Norwegian than he does and most of his relatives! Sometimes I forget that I'm German and not Norwegian! :confused:
I say Uff Da all the time, especially when I'm stampin'!!

Stocking Stuffers! Awesome! I got some of the pens but like some of the others, didn't quite know what to do with them.

I got these too, and I was thinking about inserting stamped paper in them, like the RSVP pens. The writing end of the pen does screw off. I checked it already!

Thanks everyone, they are post it notes and are super easy to make. My post it notes were 3" square and 1/4" thick. the pattern will have to be adjusted for a thicker post it pad. Take a piece of CS 8 1/4" x 3 1/4" and score at 2", 2 1/4", 5 1/4", and 5 1/2" fold on scored lines, and decorate as desired. I use a small piece of velcro to hold it closed.

Oh my!! I love it!! That is the cutest idea! I bought all kinds of the cute little mini stuff but I didn't get the gel pens. I do think I might have to go back and get some!!

Thanks Kirstin, I had bought the pens and some cute post-its from the $ spot too so your cute idea is perfect timing! I made a post-it-note holder for todays 3D challenge and I owe it all to you!

Kirstin, those are too cute! Thanks for the idea! I ran out to Target and got them when everyone was raving and they just sit there - lol! Now I have a perfect idea for birthdays and such!

Very cute! I loved all the mini stuff in the $spot, but....I was head over heels for the JUMBO stuff! I could not stop laughing! I bought almost all of it! Maybe I should get busy and make something cute with my jumbo pens and pencils!!! Hmmmm.....

Judi, they're fairly new in the $ spot. Unless some rascally Splitcoaster has already cleaned them out, they should still be around at your Target, if you have one.
