That tooth fairy has me working!

Little C. is loosing those baby teeth at quite a clip these days.  ‘Boo’ fell out today during his nightly brushing.  No, I don’t know where / why the tooth had a name — but ‘Boo’ it is.  He is safe and snug under her pillow and I’m downstairs crafting the night away in his honor.

I love it.

How much do I get?  One more year of this?  Maybe two?  I cherish every little late night crafting session in honor of a lost tooth.

It’s always a challenge too.  Only once was I fully pre-prepped for tooth loss.  But that was only so that DH would have something at-the-ready, in case I was out of town.  But tonight, I was scrambling into the depths of the craft cabinets.  I came up with a Magenta lantern kit.  It’s 4 pieces of 4 1/2" chipboard, punched along the sides to make a cube.  Hmmmmmm.  How many years have passed since I bought this thing?  It’s amazing what is in this room.  Pretty handy in a craft crunch!  Off to work…

Ok, I’m done.  I Googled some fairy images and went with a Four Seasons Fairy theme.  I printed these on a transparency and adhered them, printed side facing inward, to the inside of my frames.  Then I covered the frames with BG Periphery paper.  I sprayed this (carefully!) with Glimmer Mist in Silver so as not to hit the printed images.  I tied the four frames together with fibers from Hand-Died Hobbies in a corsetted fashion and knotted them at the top.

I’ve placed it on a plate with the $2.00 bill, also sprayed with Glimmer Mist. (DH has a stash of these from when he was a child).  This is surrounded by sparkly stones from the driveway.  She has been hunting rocks for the past few days, so these are special too.  Now I’m charging up a little Phillips votive light to put inside.

Next, I’ve got to sneak upstairs without being caught!

Shhhhhh….
