Day 2: He had to dress like a Hobo and beg for food. His "sign" said the following: "Food for money, my family is very hungry" on the other side it said "Money for booze (at least I'm honest!)
I had to cut some of his old clothes to make him look like a hobo!
Day 3: Boot Camp: they had to dress like "wounded" soldiers. He cut the small pieces of felt and I stuck it down on his t-shirt. His sister did the "wound" on his arm with make-up!!!!!!!

The pink wooden heart comes from a local decor shop called Home Flair................decorated with pink seam binding and paper flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.........the charm is from Scrap and Scribble.

The pink and blue "Sweets" from @Home. I just gave it a little shabby niceness by adding ribbon and roses. Flowers and seam binding from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The bells are from Clicks, ribbon from Hobby Heaven and the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. The bead that is above the roses is a foil bead with the most beautiful rose motif inside!!!!!!
