    Valerie – you did such a wonderful job. I go on our morning news tomorrow and I feel a bit overwhelmed! You made it look so easy – I worry that I might be over planning a bit for a 3 minute segment! I was planning to do contact paper too but a little different – Well done! So fun to see you live:)

    Great ideas and great show! It would be nice to see the girls on the show too one of these days. They are so adorable.

      Thanks so much, min! Emily has been on with me a few times, but Clara is a little too young yet. Although I would LOVE to bring her!!! Emily is up for any excuse to be on tv, and if we’re not careful, she may take over their whole show! LOL

    Okay, Princess would totally love that cookie dough idea, much easier than what I’m working on right now (not that this project is hard).

    I would love to watch the video Valerie however it seems that non-US computers can’t load any of the videos. P.S. The good news is that we have been FFFB inspired to make little chicks by painting cotton balls yellow, using matchboxes as nests with little black cardboard beaks and texta dots for eyes. So cute – thanks for pushing my dormant creativity buttons 🙂
