It seems like light years ago when my daughter was constantly inviting the *Tooth Fairy* over for visits. A plain envelope or plastic baggie just didn't seem appropriate for so much company, so I got to work on the box pictured below. Unfortunately, all my hard work was wasted on a whiny little girl who didn't appreciate the gesture. **heavy sigh**
So, back to the drawing board... a simple little envelope for her precious little teeth! Through the years, the box has disappeared (no doubt in her collection of stolen goods) but the envelope is still being put to use ~ she should be losing her molars soon!
I was commissioned to make the 2 boys boxes for co-workers & they are also still being used! I think with more appreciation than my sweet child shows!! =D
As for the Angel book ~ a few years ago, my daughter was having problems sleeping. Somewhere she had heard that angels were ghosts & she was afraid they were going to get her in the night. I found this Guardian Angel poem on the internet & made this book out of it. This gift was very much appreciated by my lovely girl, and we still read it nightly before prayers! I've had to re-glue some of the images, but other than that, it's held up quite well over the years!
