Lately I've taken to haunting the local Dollar Trees. My reason? Cheap crafts, of course! Where else can I find so many items that I can take home and look at while they collect dust? Just kidding--what else can a Covid-confined chica like myself do while remaining inside and solitary for 90% of her weekend? Get crafty! I've been watching YouTube videos, and I'm dangerous. At the Dollar Tree, I can fill my basket full of stickers, delightful wooden shapes, yarn, and random crazy stuff, safe in the knowledge that I will spend no more than fifty bucks, at the most. I've been sneaking over there at least once a week. I don't always buy stuff, but it is fun to look around.
This afternoon found me with a little time, and off to the Dollar Tree I went. I walked in and headed straight for some shadow boxes placed on an endcap. As I turned the corner to walk the aisle, I noticed music playing. That's nice, I thought. Then I realized that I was hearing the theme song from the movie The Exorcist.
What?
I looked around, because even though it was only a movie, something scary could pop right up. It was a ringtone on someone's phone. Whew! It was only a coincidence, my hitting the craft aisle to that tune. Or WAS it? Just in case, I said a few Hail Marys and held onto my St. Benedict medal a minute. No way was Satan, or whatever that demon in the Exorcist was called, going to keep me from duly enjoying my crafts. No sir. I picked up some cool stuff and headed home. Look what I made!
