Playing with my grand daughter today
She had never done shrink art
She watched it shrink through the oven window
(telling me she thought there should be a stove
with a see through top so you wouldn't
have to bend down to look in)
with many squeals and
ooooo and ahahah
Then she put together the necklace and is very proud of it
What a fun activity to do. Very creative and I bet she cherishes it for a long time!

Awe Lis this sure looks like you had a ton of fun with your granddaughter! Everything you all made is darling! I loved making shrink art when I was a kid and still do even to this day. I still get a kick out of watching them bounce and move around while they are being cooked, lol! I posted a response to your comment on my blog but since you said you have been trying to reach me but haven't had any luck I wasn't sure if your were seeing my responses to your comments and I was not sure in what ways you were trying to contact me. For example whether you were using the contact link on my blog, my posted email address, or how. So please let me know what methods you have tried in case it is something I can fix on my end for the future. You are probably right about us crossing path's at one of the craft stores because I certainly am at them enough, lol! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and stay safe should this tropical storm come our way.
