Way to go…
Saturday, February 6th, 2010
I was very lucky that when I was younger my wonderful Mum bestowed a good saving ethic with me and I am very grateful for that, so Mum and I are teaching my money hungry niece Bailey {who is 4} about saving. Bailey loves “collecting” money and because she is so cute and quite cheeky she has lots already…. She has a money box at her home and also one at my house when ever any of us have our wallets out or talk about money she runs and grabs her money box and just kind of “shakes” it in front of us and asks if we want to give her “dollars” with a cute face…. I am the one the caves the most and then empty out my purse, when I realised how much I was giving her I thought the kid needs to work for it {I did}, So now we have a deal if she has a “nanna nap” every afternoon at day-care she will get $3 at the end of the week. Well it took a few weeks but last week she finally earned $3, so I made her a card to say “Way to go” and give her the money.
I attached the coins inside with a bit of tape, her eye’s lit up when she opened the card and saw her “Dollars”.
The set I used is from Stampin’ Up! but at the back of the Idea Book & Catalogue in the accessories section on page 141 and both the Star and Greeting are from this set, The papers are from My Minds Eye
