For the first time ever, I entered some items into our county fair, as well as my children. Today, I want to show you what we entered, and what we won with our entries!
Sweetie and I entered some sewing. I entered the outfit I made to sell on ebay.
It placed 1st, as well as "BEST IN CLASS"!!!! The 1st place was $5, and the "best in class" was $10, for a total of $15! I was sooooo excited for Sweetie! I am always tell her she is going to be a better sewer than me, and this really boosted her confidence! I am so proud of her!!!
First off, before I show you the pictures, I want to say that this was *alot* of fun. If you have an opportunity to do this in your state, or county, take advantage of it. It boosted Sweeties self-confidence, and also allowed me tie some heart strings with her as I taught her some new skills.
OK! First thing we did was enter an egg decorating contest. All of the kids were allowed to participate in this. And I think everyone "won" something.
This is Tiny Boy's egg. It placed third, and won a $2 cash awardBean's egg. It also placed third with a $2 cash award
Sweetie's egg. Also third place, with a $2 award. We saw some really unique egg decorations, and got some great ideas for next year! :)
Sweetie won 2nd place and $3 for the Cream Cheese Cookies she made!

Next, Sweetie and I entered some baking classes
This is the Whole Wheat Bread I bake on a regular basis. It placed First with a $5 award in it's category I guess. I am not sure how the placing system worksSweetie won 2nd place and $3 for the Cream Cheese Cookies she made!
Then Sweetie entered some "fine art". It was a water color painting of the sun done in dots all over the place.

Oh don't you just love a good fair? I am so glad you brought us along with you, and also that your children won prizes. This is something which will inspire them for a lifetime.
Enjoyed my stay here!
How fun is that.
Very neat. What a good Mommy you are.
I used to enter things in our County fair. Loved it, absolutely some of the best memories. I won best of show once...but they didn't give out any money!
The memories you will share from this will outlast the $ by far...great post!
Blessings,
Susie

Just when we thought there were no same voices in Congress...
Please find that there is a Sane Voice in Congress! And we need to back him up.
