We had a six-year-old birthday party on the calendar this week and so - what a FANTASTIC way to break in the new sewing closet. (well - for it's intended purpose. it has also been suggested that it may be a nice quiet place to go in, close the door, and pretend that one is not hiding from their children an invisible superhero accessing a secret portal, needed...umm....somewhere else...)
So Claire wanted to get her friend something for cooking/baking - and because what mother doesn't think it's a great idea to intimately include ALL children in the 5:00 pm chaos of that which is "what am I going to feed these grumpy grumpy people with absolutely NO planning, foresight, a can of pork and beans, celery, and three eggs" - I was completely on board. :)
Teamed it with a kid's cookbook by Annabel Karmel - who I think is genius! and done like dinna'! :)
Didn't even have to bravely forge the Wal-Mart toy aisle with a one, four and six year old! So really - who is the true winner here??

What a fantastic gift idea... it's so hard to come up with creative ideas that don't cost a fortune! :) Plus, it's personal and not something that's going to be lost in an already overabundance of toys. Nice work.
Great idea, as usual!!
Thanks Mom and Trina! You're so faithful with the comments and encouragement! Love you both!
