Um, where do I get the red dress? Expert Interview: Heather Greene on Women & Whisky Straight Up Cocktails and Spirits Flag this comment	10/7/11 11:54 PM
Oh my goodness. I just popped onto Ohdeedoh after not visiting for a while because I'm a teacher and am so busy with the start of the school year. We happen to be reading Caps for Sale in my first grade class tomorrow, and this post has inspired me to make mustaches for the kids to wear when we act out the story. Thank you! They're going to get a kick out of it. Beautiful party. Best Kids Parties: Caps For Sale My Party: Cash (St. Louis, MO) Flag this comment	9/28/11 2:33 AM

I know someone who made these with her kids and as they grew up and moved out, it became a tradition to always include one in a package or with a letter. Now she has hundreds of them and she hangs them all over her house at Christmastime. It's really beautiful. Summer Camp Crafting — God’s Eyes Flag this comment	7/18/11 6:42 PM

Oh, I love this (and Meg's blog).

OMG, my kindergarten students would LOVE this. Project Idea: Turn Your Family Into Planters Flag this comment	2/24/11 8:14 AM
Love the letter and the felt alphabet! I wonder if those are pockets on the alphabet. If so, you could play a game with your kid where they try to sort little objects into the letters that match the beginning sound of the word (like a matchbox car for the letter C, a barrette for letter B, etc.). I teach kindergarten and have something similar in my classroom--but not nearly as pretty! DIY Decoupage Map Letters Callaloo Soup Flag this comment	2/19/11 12:15 AM

It's always fun to see another book sling being made. FYI: Family Fun magazine ran a no-sew version of my book sling project last month: http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/book-sling-919473/ And here's a link to my original tutorial, which has some photos of book slings that have been made by my readers: http://pennycarnival.typepad.com/penny_carnival/2009/02/tutorial-hanging-book-display.html A No-Sew Hanging Bookshelf Flag this comment	10/11/10 11:31 PM
