It does sound so cute! Do see about getting a picture to us to see it
before
it goes out to her. Congratulations!
I read this in the morning, so I will do a little spin and twist with the
coffeecup raised in a toast to you.

For some reason, I usually don't happy dance, I just breathe a sigh of
relief and go to bed. Or occasionally pour myself a cool one to
celebrate.
But I JUST finished the cutest little quilted tote bag for my niece's
birthday -- and in plenty of time to fill it up with treats and send it
to
her it time for her actual birthday! So a little dancing is in order, I
think!

I will have to take some pictures and post them, but it is very cute (if
I
do say so myself) in all summery kid prints that remind me of summer in
Wisconsin, where she lives. There are hot pink suns, and fireflies on
turquoise and pretty ice cream cones and flowers and bubbles and sherbet
stripes. And the inside is lined with this cool pink seersucker fabric
from
Japan that is printed with bunnies and bears and paper lanterns and
little
bags with goldfish in them! I remember buying that fabric and thinking
how
cute it was and that I'd have to find a way to use it, and this was just
perfect.

So, *sigh*, off to bed!

Ann

Ohh YAY!! I remember now, you had the great Wizards quilt too!
The totebag turned out so good! Thank you!

That's so cute! I love the buttons on the handles.

Wow! What a wonderful gift.

Thanks! Now it's time to fill it up and send it off. I think we are going
to Target tomorrow to pick up some fun
girly treats. Anybody have any great ideas for summer treats for a 9
year-old girl? I have my 10 year-old boy to help, but he is a boy after
all...

I was thinking of: a book (not sure which one yet...maybe a classic like
Little Women, or perhaps an installment from a new book series for that
age...), sunglasses, nail polish, bubble gum, some hair accessories -- stuff
like that.

Well, another thing would be a magazine. At 9 my dd liked Nickelodeon, Kids
Discovery...

How about sun block? Lip gloss! My dd loves lip gloss. Just try not to get
something too stinky! I hate it when she puts it on in the car. (it's now a
rule that she can't!)

Don't forget stickers, glitter-glue, beading kit, crafty things like that.
My granddaughter goes nuts over that stuff.

Can we take this a bit further?
One of our 'acquaintances' DD has a rare form of bone cancer--may lose
her leg--
I need 'have to be STILL for hours' type of thingies to get for her
(this is a JOINT effort so it won't just be us)
All we know about her:

8 years old
loves to read
She is admitted to hospital the night before the treatment and then they
have NO IDEA for how long after each treatment.

We did get her a 'floppy hat with pin-on crocheted flowers' which her
parents appreciated--she lost her hair with the first treatment.

HELP please

Butterfly (no, I have not met this child)
