Caleb's work had a craft day last week. Employees were encouraged to bring homemade gifts to sell and everyone was invited to come purchase. Caleb asked if Charis could bring something and they agreed. She was really excited to have a place to sell some of her stuff. She makes things all the time and often has elaborate plans of how she's going to sell them (involving knocking on all the neighbor's doors or something like that). So this was a perfect opportunity.
Once we settled on making gift tags for Christmas presents we got to work. I did the cutting and gluing, and she did the coloring and designing. It was a really fun project to do together and they turned out awesome. She was really nervous that no one was going to buy them. And I was too when she was planning to charge $5 per tag. But she was okay with 2 tags for $1.
Everyone loved her and her tags. She made over $20! She spent some of it right away on other people's crafts and then spent most of the rest on a new video game (Cooking Mama).
I think we will be doing more of this in the future.

awesome!
I love industrious little souls (and good job for aiding in teaching America's youth the value of a hard earned dollar!).
Adorable!!!!!
Yeah for Charis!
I don't know what I love more - that she wanted to sell them for $5 or that she wants to be a door to door salesman, I mean, saleswoman. Totally awesome.
