My little entrepreneurs

I have to show you what my granddaughters, Alaina and Ruby have been up to. They told me they had been making bracelets and selling them at the end of their driveway. Then I got a message from Alaina saying "Grandma, we are selling today so you can come if you want, but you don't have to".  Well, you don't have to ask us twice!  Bob and I headed over to see what they were up to and this is what we found.


Here they are with all their signs and products.




They told me they bought this sign at a neighbors garage sale for 50 cents to use on their table.



They had a sale going!




Here's some of their bracelets.







They also have painted rocks.





I bought this rock to put on my desk at work.






They even make their own bags out of cardstock.

I thought this was all pretty creative and a good way to spend their time.

Hi Mari! Wow, I love this! My 10-year-old granddaughter has also been making and selling bracelets. It is so great when kids learn to be creative, productive, and resourceful! I hope you all have a great week!

I applaud their efforts and hope it was a success. I liked the exact same rock you bought. One craft I had for the girls at church was to paint rocks. Those girls did a great job and I like their jewelry too.

They are both so talented! I like their creativity. I hope they were able to make quite a bit from their work.

That is such an awesome name they chose to sell their goods and those bracelets are so very sweet. I also smiled when I read the rock. They even made their own bags. So creative. You go girls!!! Janice

Wow! Lovely bracelets and that rock you purchased is awesome!! Of course, they get their creative genes from their Grandma!! You have been crafting with them since they were old enough to sit up!! Love this, Mari!! Kudos to Alaina and Ruby!!

What sweet granddaughters you have, my friend. I don't know many girls their age who would come up with the idea, let alone put in all of the time to make the products and sell them. I'm wondering if they have any bracelets left?

All that crafting with grandma has really paid off!! Look at these two using their creative skills and starting a business. I love it!!

Nice looking jewelry.
They did a great job setting up, and their "Jewelry at low prices" sign made me smile.
