| The girls decided to make scrunchies for all their friends as Christmas gifts. We had loads of fun picking out fabric, sewing them and giving them away. So much so, that Emmy's been dreaming up a scrunchie business! James even wanted to get in on the action and designed three different scrunchies "The Emmy" "The Hannah" and "The Julia" and made them for his sisters while they were out shopping with Daddy one night. Such a thoughtful gift! |
