This Saturday is the local UofU verses BYU game and it gets kinda crazy around here!! My 11 year old daughter Gabby couldn't stand the thoughts of having to go to school not all decked out from head to toe in her red and white.  She made these hair pieces last night all by herself from start to finish...I am one proud mama! The smaller one is for her little sister Sarah. What a great girl!  The next generation of crafters coming up behind us are going to blow us away with their skills! I just know it!
