I was planning to email you!! I have enjoyed going to a local dollar tree lately that is new, so seems like they keep things stocked up pretty well. But somebody was blocking the books yesterday and I wanted to tell her to get out of the way because I was in a junk journal challenge. 😂😂😂 xx ❤️

      Good morning! Thank you so much for dropping by. 🙂 I used straight imitation vanilla extract without any water. Bear in mind, it is imitation from the dollar tree, so the composition of it probably gives a much different result from real vanilla extract. I hope this helps! I am still using it, and so far I love it! It does not seem to leave any sort of unwanted residue on the page or anything. xxLynn

    DT gets trucks all over the place. Some weeks youll get two in one week. Small store gets average of 1200 boxes, larger stores get up to 3000 that the underpaid employees unload themselves. Craft aisles arent money makers. Food and chem, front end, beauty has to go out first. Then candle crafts. The best part is when bored women from UA-cam come in and bug about product so they can promote their youtube channel or post a pic in Instagram for likes. Its a sad world we live in. Best thing to do is get a cart and just shop without hounding people that work there.

      Thank you so much for sharing!! That's what I felt when I heard someone suggest asking the manager. I can see the sweat pouring off employees as they bring loads of merch out. I just have not felt it a good idea to ask anyone anything. I shop there regularly, so I see what is there. I can only imagine the work it's added to have hundreds of dollar tree channels popping up. xx💖
