Advent Goodness

Since my 17 year old was little I have been making some version of an advent calendar.  Everthing from bags, to boxes to little drawers.  When the goodies have been too big to fit, I would give a little hint and sometimes stump her for the whole day.  This is a great simple idea from the Mary France Project that has a great Recycling factor.

Birthday Fashionistas

We’ve had quite a run of our “Project Runway” birthdays lately.  This is the most recent from the weekend.  The girls are set in groups and get a conglomeration of doodads with tee shirt and have to use everything and come up with an outfit.  The girls really brought their creativity and the ideas were running wild. Game on!   At the end the 3 groups awed us with a mini fashion show.  Loved all the results!
