Savvy business woman - or sassy!

(insert huge grin from ear to ear) My daughter has always been an artistic child. She has always loved the arts - drawing, crafting, dance, etc. So there is always something being written, sketched, sewn, glued, cut, painted, sculpted, etc around her between the two of us. (wink) Well, while cleaning out her room she discovered some long lost beaded bracelets we had strung together awhile back. She picked the one that she fancied the most at the time of re-discovering them and slipped it on her wrist. I caught up with her while she was hanging up her clothes in her closet. She pointed out her newly found bracelet and that while wearing it, "It makes me feel older mom! like a teenager or something." (insert grwon up look on her face here) *sigh* I couldn't help but smile as I remember certain baubles or pieces of clothing that made me feel older too when I was her age.




Of course she had to wear it to school the next day because she wanted to prolong this "grown up" feeling. Here's where the big grin from ear to ear part comes in. While going through her backpack and folder when she returned home from school that day I discovered a stack of papers with names and colors on them. Curious I asked her what they were. "Oh! these are orders! A few kids from my class liked my and bracelet and they want me to make them one too. I wrote down their names and then they told me what colors they wanted. Some of the kids wanted their "beeds in a patern" and some wanted their "beeds scatered" which means not in a pattern." "Oh" was my reply accompanied with the huge smile as I couldn't help to try to imagine how it all unfolded and what was going on the classroom for to get all of this done. (???)

Needless to say, we broke out the beads and she allowed me to help her string a few. Looks like I have a an independent little artist in the making. I'll have to keep my eye on this one she's good! (wink)
