Big Girl!

Charlotte lost her first tooth yesterday and her immediate response to me was to ask for a tooth tin. She knew that I had made one for Tristan and even knew what she wanted it to look like.

To be honest, I was going to beg her off but then I knew that would resonate with her as part of the whole memory of losing her first tooth.

So I got out my papers, a tin that has been a mainstay of my stash for a long time and asked Charlotte what image she wanted from Microsoft's online gallery (since I wasn't going to search much farther!). Here's what we ended up with (and just in the nick of the time so Charlotte could get her twoonie!).
Positive note of the day: Cross your fingers that I get inspired enough to clean my craft space. Since it is out in the midst of our living space, I need to shape up!

LOL! Glad you made the tin....those kids don't forget anything! You would have been reminded of that on her 30th birthday! ROTFL!
Love your funny today...I can so relate. I'm the fat one on the right....

Cute tin! What a milestone for Charlotte!

You were wise to make the tin - and it is so cute. My craft area is half of our very small living room - so I feel your pain. When I go nuts stamping it looks terrible in here! And - I completely relate to your thought about being fat. I wonder why people do that.

Oh C is growing so fast and hitting the first lost tooth milestone! Darling tin...good thing you got with it Mom!

I am still laughing at the funny! I am with Dee...I am on the right as well, but I am trying hard to loose(or at least not gain LOL)!

How right you are that she would remember the lack of tin forever...Childhood crisis averted :)
And as for this funny, my mom does that. Ugh!
