Cutesy little craft

I interrupt this long stream of updates to bring you a cutesy little craft I whipped up while I was home, sick today.

I turned this:
Into this:
Jenalyn decided that she really really really wants a FurReal pet. Since Christmas is over, and her birthday isn't until October, we decided she can EARN IT by doing chores for money around the house. Today she cleaned her bedroom for $3. She already had $4 from the tooth fairy. So she's up to $7...we're well on our way. This evening she asked if she can take her "Earn It" can around to the neighbors and see if she could do any chores for money *LOL* if I knew our neighbors, I might let her do that. We'll talk about hitting up the grandparents though.
It was very simple. Just covered it in cutesy scrapbook paper (12x12 didn't quite cover it, so I completed it with some coordinating paper and slapped on some solid color scrap paper and put letters on it. SO EASY! SO CUTE!

did you use a Cricut for the letters?? so cute. Katie has two of them.. We should have her come over and see if she really likes them.. (Honestly I do not think they are as great as Katie was wanting them to be..)

They have some on clearance at Target - 50% off It should all go 75% sometime at the end of the week - if they are still there. Then she wouldn't have to earn quite so much :)
