American Girl Craft at Michael's today




The crafts she made: A mini-scrapbook, a photo frame, a gift label, and an extra-a bag with a pocket-as a present for Grammy. The last one was her own idea, it was not a sanctioned craft of the store or American Girl. She also made a present for the lady in charge of the crafts (who said it was her first present all day! Awww!)





Proudly displaying her stuff:




An extra freebie they gave out, a mini magazine for the dolls. You just cut it out and fold it together.

I get emails from Michael's craft store and when they advertised an American Girl craft day, I knew we had to find a way to get there! So we made arrangements and managed to get out long enough to do the craft and to visit Grammy at work afterwards. So Leanna got time away from most of her brothers (we had to bring Jacob), and she got some time alone with Mommy, and time to do a few small crafts, and it counts as art and socialization as credit for homeschooling. And she made some cool stuff! Lots of benefits!
