So it all started when we got new patio furniture... we had this giant box waiting to be thrown out on garbage day, when the 11 year old next door saw it and protested that I could not "throw that beautiful box away!" That's when the idea for a clubhouse emerged... The next day I got out all my craft paints and brushes and the kids and Taylor started creating their master piece! Before you knew it we had 6 kids over helping with what was now the "neighborhood club house" and had the dual purpose of a "selling stand" The kids were SO cute working so diligently on their project. I cut out the windows and we even made curtains.They decided that they would sell pictures, as in pictures that they would draw, which all the kids came over and worked on. They would sell cards, like greeting cards, which the big kids did. Crafts were also on the list of goods, but we didn't get to finish those up, and last but not least...snacks (whatever I feel like making basically) and LEMONADE! We made double fudge chocolate chip brownies and fresh raspberry peach lemonade...yummy!!
We set up shop on the corner coming into our neighborhood and all the kids helped! It was too cute!! They did pretty well..about 8 dollars and change. They ended up lowering their prices a little and even offering package deals.... quite the little entrepreneurs I tell ya! They want to make it a weekly sale and put up flyers and everything....
oh lord...what did I get myself into???
Here are the pictures ....

Every good shop owner has to "test" their product!!
