Guess what? Today we are giving away one of our Ruler Growth Charts!

When we made our last batch one of them didn’t turn out quite as well as the others so we thought we would save it and use it for a giveaway! There is nothing wrong with it at all, but the wood didn’t take the stain quite as smoothly as normally.

Lillie has been wanting a bike since last summer. We kept telling her we would get her one this summer. Well, yesterday Lola, Lillie and I headed to a consignment shop trying to hunt down a few needed things for the girls and this lovely bike greeted us at the door.

When I started doing monthly posts for Dear Lillie last summer I made a promise to keep my topics of choice “somewhat related to the general theme of the blog.” In keeping with that promise, I decided to try my hand at a little crafting this month. What I thought would take about five minutes wound up taking three days… and still ended up looking like it took only five minutes.
