PLAID NIGHT IN + DOLLAR TREE DIY _ PLAID WEEK DAY 7

**A Christmas Tree Decorator's Delight: Exploring Dollar Tree's Holiday Treasures**

This year, I've been on the hunt for unique and affordable Christmas tree decorations, and one store that has consistently impressed me is Dollar Tree. I'm thrilled to share my findings with you, as I've uncovered some truly lovely treasures among their holiday selection.

**A Favorite Find: The Dark Green Bags**

One of my absolute favorite finds this year is a set of dark green bags in various sizes. I've used these before, and they're still one of my go-to choices for decorating my Christmas tree. Not only are they stylish, but they can also be dressed up or left plain to create a chic, minimalist look. The difference between old and new Dollar Tree Green is quite noticeable, with the newer shade being slightly more vibrant. I've paired these bags with other decorations in various ways, from creating a pop of color to adding a subtle touch to my tree.

**A Plaid Week Favorite: Peacock Bags**

As part of my annual Plaid Week celebration, I've been collecting unique and creative Christmas tree decorations. One item that caught my eye this year is a set of peacock bags in various sizes, also from Dollar Tree. These bags are not only beautiful but also versatile, allowing me to decorate them plain or with embellishments like stickers, ribbons, or ornaments. I've used these bags on multiple occasions, and they never fail to impress.

**A Recent Find: Navy Bags**

In a surprising discovery, I found a navy bag from Dollar Tree that I had previously missed. The difference between this and other similar bags is the distinct color and style. While I'm still on the lookout for more of these bags, I was thrilled to have found one to add to my collection.

**Using New Decorations This Year**

As part of my efforts to refresh my Christmas tree decor, I've been experimenting with new items this year. The dark green bags, peacock bags, and navy bag are just a few examples of the many decorations I've added to my tree. These bags have become staples in my decorating arsenal, offering a pop of color and style that elevates my overall look.

**Cozying Up for Game Night**

After spending time fluffing the house, decorating the tree, and enjoying some quality time with family and friends, it's time for me to unwind and relax. I've settled into my cozy office space, grabbed a blanket, and am now ready to indulge in some computer games. It's been a long day of activity, but I'm looking forward to unwinding and taking a break from the hustle and bustle.

**A DIY Tutorial: Dollar Tree Sign Decorations**

As part of my DIY series, I'd like to share with you a simple yet effective decoration idea using Dollar Tree items. In this video, I used a Dollar Tree truck sign as the base for a beautiful Christmas tree decoration. To create the look, I attached it to a mini Christmas tree and added some decorative details using hot glue. The result is a unique and eye-catching decoration that adds a touch of personality to my tree.

**A Special Message**

It's been an absolute pleasure sharing my experiences with you, and I hope that you've enjoyed the tour as much as I have. In the next few days, I'll be taking a break from the holiday theme to explore some more general topics, so stay tuned for exciting content.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys this is really weird I don't know why because I do this all the time for my vlog channel but you're you're at the right channel I have decided for a plaid week day 7 we've done a full week of plaid stuff I wanted to just chill out have a good cozy winter plaid moment and I thought how can I do that winter nighttime routine so that's what we're doing yes technically it's fall but it's cold outside and the temperatures that are out there are winter to me so I'm considering it a winter routine but first I'm actually going to get out of this because this is not plaid and we have to do it right the other thing I want to do in this video is I need to organize my wrapping station yes look at my tree I got the light keeper Pro it didn't work for me we got to fix that but anyway I really want to target and let me turn this around I need to create some sort of cohesive streamline not cohesive but like a streamline wrapping gift wrapping process because I really love this part I've been hauling this stuff all season long on my channel all of the gift bags all of the wrapping paper all of the bows and I really love this stuff and I just need to be able to separate everything bows tags wrapping paper scissors tape like the whole works and I know what I have available I just have gift tags here gift tags there it's just it's a mess so we're gonna organize this and we're gonna put away some clothes we're gonna do a little bit of light cleaning and we're gonna fluff the house if you watch my vlogs you know what that means but first we got to change ourselves out of this to the of course I had to be in plaid hello you know I've been filming in this stuff all week I got the this pajama set from forever 21 the only thing I will say is the top is crappie and I didn't realize that I don't know like maybe I wasn't paying attention to how it was styled on the model maybe she was kind of like sitting down so you couldn't tell but that's the only thing I'll say about it but it's actually really comfy has a flannel like a light flannel feel to it now the goal is to get the station started because I've ordered dinner now my daughter is home for winter break but she is doing her own dinner thing and I'm doing my own dinner thing because she's out with friends so which is fine with me you know it's like honestly I'm I don't I don't like cooking all the time so I I ordered some dinner anyway we'll get to all that but I'm gonna go ahead set up the camera and we'll get this organized sometimes I always have something to show on my blog channel and I thought I might as well do one for you guys too so I'll show you a couple of things now you're gonna see some of these things again when I do what I got for Christmas because I gift to myself happy birthday to me I'm not mad about it at all I don't think it's sad at all I get a lot of joy out of it because no one can give to you better than you because you know you you know alright so and I'm also gonna show you something that just came in that I got for my daughter she does not watch my videos I could ask this all the time but I got this off of Amazon and it came in this kit I thought it was a really awesome deal because you get the camera you get a color you get two types of film along or is that right film yeah film pack with it so I went with the summer blue color because she loves that color and I got it at that gift okay also from Amazon cuz do I'm not gonna explain myself because it's an addiction alright this next item I actually saw somewhere on like either an Instagram feed or Facebook feed didn't even know it was a thing I knew that they were releasing colorized videos of I Love Lucy I think on like CBS but I could never find these episodes on my cable and they have put it into a DVD so you get 16 unedited full-length colorized episodes and so it's a shock for me for whatever reason to see Lucy in color but I've always wanted to know at least like what their outfits look like and what color they were so that is why I decided to get this I thought the price was pretty darn good I was like fifteen or sixteen dollars and then I got this DVD outrageous fortune I love movies like this that are not that widely known and this one has Bette Midler who's a sleigh kind of actress love her and also you've got Shelly long and you would probably know her best in true Beverly Hills hello again cheers I mean she's she's such an amazing actress and this is actually a really funny movie and I got this for like three or four dollars yeah oh my gosh hopefully that whole clip was recording I don't know if it was all right so the next I am I'm going to share with you is this blanket it is the barefoot dreams blanket have you any of you been hearing about this blanket and I actually stopped at Nordstrom's rack and found this blanket it was fifty dollars I think that's expensive for a damn blanket it just is but it's it was originally 125 not that that should mean you should pick it up because I mean just because something's a deal doesn't mean like you know you need it but it was really soft and I liked it for my daughter so I don't know I thought maybe in her like dorm next year she could use it or this year or now or whatever but yeah it is it is really soft but the way people kind of talk about how soft it is there are a lot of blankets at t.j.maxx HomeGoods Ross that feel quite like this I don't know maybe it's just me let me know what you think if you have a barefoot dreams like it alright I'm gonna go ahead and set a little bit of calming fun Christmas music for you guys because I want to crank up Christmas with the Kranks uh-huh and you know YouTube doesn't like the copyright thing so even on TV and movies now so I'm gonna put this on and we'll get this settled all right we're gonna take a quick dinner break because my dinner just showed up and I wanted to show you guys some progress it doesn't look like it but there is so I have some of my wrapping here there's more underneath my bed and then I've got my gift tags over here this box actually has some Stoppers I haven't quite sorted out my top read up but here's a whole section here and that has a mix of stuff and then I put gift boxes that I might use under the tree over here is a bag full of tissue so it just stays there in that compartment and what I'm doing now is actually going through all of my gift bags and sorting out the ones that I think I want to grab for this year cuz I haul and buy so many that it'll just be better for me to separate what I'm going to use versus what I don't think I'm gonna grab for this year so here's the pile that I'm going to use and I'll show you guys a couple of them later and then this is a poem going through and then these are some that I'm not going to use although this one I might pull from the top but yeah so let's go ahead and take a look at my dinner cuz I'm starving here's the puppy and the kitchens all dark so let's go ahead and turn it on so I got cotton patch for dinner I don't know you guys I don't know if you guys have this restaurant by you but it is everything everything so I got a traditional southern meal chicken-fried steak I got the chicken-fried steak broccoli rice casserole mashed potatoes it doesn't get any more southern than this I promise you Wow they were a little stingy on the gravy I mean does this make sense to anybody all right I'm not a mukbang channel so I'm not gonna eat on camera sometimes I do on my blog but tonight is not one of those nights I want to sit down just enjoy this and then we will be back oh my gosh I'm so full but it was really really good and now we're gonna resume I'm gonna go back through all of my gift bags and get this station fixed so we can move on to the next part of my night routine all right so here's what I have going on so far it doesn't really look like much but at least this whole area is clear I've got gift tags those again have some Stoppers we've got some of my wrapping I'll show you where the other ones are some gift boxes I might pull out and some more bows this is a box I've had for years it just has a lot of you know just I don't know you guys a lot of random little things get thrown in here scissors ribbons mini bags gift boxes over here here's the tissue place and then I still have all of my other gift bags in here the ones I didn't choose but I may still go through them again I didn't want to completely write them off but I wanted to be able to at least pull some that I thought I would grab for first these are all of like the gift boxes and then the ones I chose I'll quickly show you some of them here's a set these are from Dollar Tree I have not used them I remember getting these last year and really loving this one it's a gem of a find this one I use last year I pulled it out again we've got some cute ones like this I was from Dollar Tree I used that last year we've got all the Santa sets that I got from Dollar Tree haven't used any of these quite yet hopefully I'm going to get to use them this year here's this one I think I got this one this year these are some of my favorites the dark green they're gorgeous you can decorate them like the ones I showed you earlier they're in this pile too and I'm hoping maybe I can decorate some of them again this year but using them plain like this is so chic and nice as well I don't know I just I'm obsessed with these bags here's this one use that a couple years here's that green but just to show you there's a difference so Dollar Tree recently put out this green isn't it nice because this is old Dollar Tree Green this is new Dollar Tree Green and that key that's a dollar tree ornament and I put it on the bag so I love that this is just a really big sticker I think I got it and when I used to have a peel box from one of my subscribers so I put it on this bag here's the plain Navy I wonder if Dollar Tree is still selling the Navy because I love this bag and I only found one of one of these through the whole pile which is yeah I don't know here's this one these are some of my new ones I got these actually for my daughter I thought that these were you know the kind maybe a young adult would look like to give to their friends came in a 3-pack and their clear bags so those are for her alright so what I typically do next as I fluff the house but it's already been done meaning I just take care of all the lights get the Christmas lights on we did that in the kitchen I finished eating we've got the lights on here if you're new to my channel I already did a whole house tour for Christmas which was plaid weekday I don't remember day-to-day something I wish I had like more trees in here to fill up this space and to cover that up but I never got around to it um because I think doing one big tree in here I've talked about this a million times on my vlog Channel but one they're really expensive and two I just didn't know if I would have a need for that kind of tree when I move and this is just a very specific space for a tall but then like tree anyway that's the whole thing so what I'm gonna do next is I'm going to grab a blanket I'm gonna get cozy in my office and I'm gonna play some computer games because that is how I relax and unwind so let's get to it all right I got my blanket I'm all cozied up and now it's time to play some game you all right so now we're obviously switching gears and I am going to include a DIY at the end of clad week day 7 I really hope that you guys have enjoyed this year's plaid week and yeah so actually just all of that chicken-fried steak really got to me and I guess I just stopped talking and did more of a relaxing type of like relaxing clips at the end but basically as you saw I just grabbed my laptop I was probably adding editing a vlog and watching a hallmark movie with Roxy and then I ended up going to sleep so that was all that I had accomplished for that part of the video and now I'm showing you a DIY that I wanted to make sure that you guys got to see I actually made it in plaid week day6 video but I didn't include it so I want to drop it in here I am using a Dollar Tree truck sign yes from Dollar Tree that Merry Christmas signs from Dollar Tree a little mini Christmas trees from Dollar Tree the willow wreath is from Michaels but I got it for like two bucks it was on sale so it was pretty comparable to that price and Dollar Tree doesn't make wreaths that big so I really think it's worth the value and can really elevate your wreaths so basically I just took off the end of the Christmas tree as you saw and I I inter twined it within the branches and it stuck really well a little bit of hot glue it takes some more holding the the sign down but then eventually it sticks I'm not a huge bow maker so I just did like a normal little bow I was trying to work with what I already had on hand but that's it for this DIY and that's it for plaid week day 7 thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you soon for you know just back to some of my more normal videos see you guys later byehi guys this is really
