The puppet IS fabulous! We'll have to look for Skippy Jon Jones tomorrow at the library.

Great teasers, I'm loving the goldfish fabric!

[beeker]

eeep!  I love the teaser pictures. Thank you for matching the boys with their colors.  I'm even more excited now!

[beeker]

finally...big ol' slacker me, is going to get my pictures posted. sorry about the delay. I promise you will be jealous 
I wish I had gotten pictures of how this all came out of the box, She had the quilts and t-shirts all folded up so nicely with such a lovely presentation. but, alas...the boys dived right in and had to see what they had gotten in the mail. 
First off, I got Harold's Purple Crayon Treasurey, which is several books in one. BONUS! Then Each of my boys got their own t-shirt and quilt. David's is a little large, but the others fit great. David grows like a weed so it won't take long. She matched up each boy with his favorite color. Mark with green, Bob with orange and David doesn't know his favorite color yet, so he got blue. Even the quilts are different sizes depending on the boy. How thoughtful. The boys had to wear their shirts to church on Sunday and They won't sleep without their new quilts.  I have happy boys. David's quilt has little fringes all over it, he loves to play with it.
I feel spoiled!

I'm glad you like your stuff. I tried to make things nice and kid proof. I know how it is, a classroom of kids can be hard on things

The crayon theme is an awesome idea! And I LOVE the color coordinating.

Okay, get ready, because the swap stuff I got is AMAZING!

I have two little girls, and we homeschool, so I asked for educational or creative crafts, or other extension activities to use with the book. leigh123 sent us an awesome ocean-themed package.

Our book is Seashells by the Seashore. It's an ocean book, a counting book, a shell identification book, AND it's autographed by the author!


With it we got a ton of seashells that her little boy collected for the girls, along with ribbon and paint and other little things to decorate them with. So far, though, the girls are thrilled by sorting them and looking at them.


This matching game is really, REALLY cool. Tell me if I'm mistaken, but it looks like the images are hand-drawn, then printed onto fabric, then sewn? It's a perfect number of pairs, too, for my little people.


I love the fabric on this beach bag!


The girls played with their colored sand constantly, until now it's all a nice, uniform greenish-brown color, instead of the oceany blue and yellow and green that it started out as.

Finally, the roll-up ocean scene felt board is really special. The detail work on the felt pieces to go with it is incredible!



The girls LOVE their presents, and it's given me a ton of ideas of other activities do do for an ocean theme. Thanks, leigh123!
