alicia's Christmas present

have you patronized the store Monarch in schererville? it's a great little shop filled with all kinds of unique items. my pop-cap bracelet is from monarch. they actually sell a variety of pop-cap items. and when i saw one that looked like a great noise maker, i decided to make one for alicia for Christmas.



doesn't it look fun? it makes a great rattling noise as you shake the caps back and forth on the wire. i suppose after awhile it could get a little annoying, but what good toy doesn't get annoying? it was easy to make, and it goes well with her other musical instruments. hard telling if she really appreciated it when she opened it - but c'mon. it was Christmas morning and she's 3 (and a half!). she had lots of gift-opening to do, i certainly didn't expect her to stop and really play with it. after all, there was an actual walking pony under the tree. ;)

That looks like a very fun musical instrument! I could see Madison Greene playing something like that on stage...couldn't you?

Hope you had a good Christmas. I haven't blogged in a while because...of numerous things such as the SATAN ICE that caused me to fall down my front stairs. Officially I hate ice. Let it go on record.
Regardless, happy new year too!!!!
