Let me see... 15 little girls skirts, 8 marble bags, 2 pencil cases, a couple dozen button hair ties, ballerina tutu, a princess and the pea playset, and even a dress for me! Phew!
Plus there are a few half done projects that are still to be finished off: dress for a sweet little girl, few pairs of pants for Finn, bibs for Finn and I'm sure there are a few more lurking in the studio!
Things we made for Operation Christmas Child boxes we did last month. This was such a great way of teaching the girls about the huge need there is to care for poverty-stricken in this world.
The girls really enjoyed thinking about what a little girl their own age might like to receive and talking about how and why we should help, making a card and praying for the girls who would be receiving the boxes they made.
We are so blessed in our lives and to teach our children to share what we have with those who have nothing is so important to us. I highly recommend doing an activity like this with your kids.
And here's that gorgeous gypsy gal who sold skirts and button hair ties in the peddler's parade at the school fair.
Her costume was thrown together during a raid on my wardrobe - so much easier than trying to make something which was my initial lofty plan.

Just popped over from clutterpunk. What a great outfit your daughter has on - and as you say so much easier than actually having to make one. I love the fact that she was selling things at the market - I'm thinking about doing my first market in a couple of weeks and my little one has already asked what she can sell?!! x
