She said, "Mummy, I have been saving all my money for the past 4 years and now I've found something I like to do. Anyway, it's crafting, which is good right. If I don't spend my money at all even when I really wish to, then what's the point of saving and saving without enjoying anything?" Gosh. Such financial wisdom at the age of 10. Dare I say I have taught her well ;) In the end, she spent another $60 (free delivery above $60) and told me that was her last buy and she will stop after that. Which she did. Delayed gratification. Check. Allocated percentage for hobby. Check. Will-power and discipline. Check. Truly impressive.

I asked #4 if she would like to donate any bands or charms from her collection for charity and she said "You can take all and sell so we can raise more money for the children". Bless this child. Even if we don't manage to sell all, I am humbled by her generous heart. I am also glad she is not attached to her possessions.
So here's everything she has made, and hopefully we can do our bit for these children and youths who are coping with chronic and life-threatening illnesses. Every single cent we collect will go to Club Rainbow (Singapore).

Tray 1: Charms with hooks |
This tray of charms all have hooks and would make really colourful decorations on table Christmas trees!
#3 also made bracelets with lots of variations. They can fit children from about 2-8 years old.

Bracelets |
Her aunt came over last night and was the first to show her support by buying 7 items. The kids were overjoyed! #3 helped me to edit the photos by numbering and labelling all the items ("Mum, there's an app for everything. Easy peasy.")
Rainbow Loom Singapore sent over some packets of refills for this charity drive. Many thanks for their support and #4 is so excited to be able to do some looming again!

Assorted Bracelets and Rings |
This is my personal favourite: An adorable lil' backpack #4 made just for me :) If you would like her to make one just for you, she'll be happy to customise one at $10 with your choice of 2 colours (subject to availability).

Yes, I'm so proud of how she's grown up. But most times, I realise I'm the one who needs to learn from her in so many ways :)
DeleteThese are so gorgeous! She has a heart of gold!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You have made her day :) Yes, I agree!
DeleteWhat a feast for the eyes! Well done #4! Happy to be a part of this endeavour with all of you!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's especially good for kids, to empower them. They have the heart but are unsure of how to contribute. This is one practical way!
