Lelli Kelly Success

Here's our Lelli Kelly girl, as happy as can be!


We used craft paint to stamp on big pink flowers and small purple ones. 
(Then a lot of touchups with a brush.) 


We sewed on the buttons and gems by hand with clear thread and added dots of glitter glue all over.  Not bad for just raiding my craft closet and not buying a thing! 

Cost of Lelli Kelly upgrade: $0

I'm actually happy that Nicole had this fascination with the Lelli Kelly commercial. It was a super fun (and easy) project for us. And maybe she even learned something about money and self reliance. If not, at least she loves her pretty "new" shoes!

You rock. So, I really want this skirt at Summer's Store, but it's too much for me to pay...want to take a stab at it for me???

SO CUTE. I can't believe the poses she does! Good job - especially with using everything you already have!

AWESOME! You're braver than I am, though. I would have decorated them by myself without my daughter knowing. That way the perfectionist in me could get all irritated that they weren't turning out right. Haha. I need to let my kids have more fun!!
