Getting Crafty

 Derrick and the boys were working on pinewood derby cars a few weekends ago so Kaylee and I decided to get crafty. And it was mostly Kaylee. I just enabled her. I asked her what kind of purse she would like to make. She told me a butterfly one and she picked out her fabrics. This cute fairy print was used for her birthday blanket. We cut out the little fairies and zig zagged them onto the butterfly shaped polka dot fabric that we cut out.
 Then we put the purse together. But that's not what the post is about, it was just a quick little bag. What makes it a fabulous accessory are the details that Kaylee added herself to customize her new bag.
 I gave her a few bottles of puffy paint and let her go crazy. Little blogs of colored paint all over the front.
Pair this little bag, full of goodies, with her one-of-a-kind fashion sense and she is unstoppable!

Brandy,

I bet it gives your daughter such pride to see her contribution to making her purse. I love her blue eyes; they almost pop off the screen. I enjoy reading your blog and loved the childrens makeup kit.
