I-Spy Bags and Clothes Pin Aprons

I am excited to be able to offer these. We are quite pleased with the way they have turned out! They will make great and economical gifts!! Children spend hours looking for the 12 treasures buried in each I-spy bag. At present I have three themes to offer. Each I-Spy bag (5 1/4 inch square) will cost $7.50 plus shipping. I find this size to be perfect for the little hands they are designed for. If you would like matching bean bags (3 1/2 inch square) they will cost $3.50 each.

Bob the Builder: Celebrate with Bob (45 min)



It's always a party when Bob the Builder is around--even when he has work to do! In "Bob's Birthday," he thinks everyone's forgotten his big day, but Wendy has a surprise in store for him: a party. In "Bob's Big Surprise," he decides to treat Wendy to a surprise of her own when he builds a backyard garden while she's away. In "Bob's Day Off," he attempts to enjoy some time off to do a little bird watching, but duty won't stop calling. In "Buffalo Bob," he makes plans to compete in a line-dancing contest with Mavis. Wendy wishes she could go, too, and when Mavis sprains her ankle, she gets her chance. This 45-minute program includes four mini-adventures: short skits on manners, recycling, and other topics. Celebrate with Bob encourages children aged 3 to 6 to take responsibility seriously, to show respect for others--and to have fun!

The Princess and the Snarls $8.00 (retails for $16.95) Note about this book. It reminds me much of Snow White. The over all theme is overcoming evil with good, but sourcery is involved. I should have read the book before buying it. Other that that the books is beautiful and a mirror, wardrobe, paper, doll and clothes are all included in the book. I have 3.

Punch-outs can be stored in an "armoire" on the inside back cover.


The Day of the Lord is at Hand $8.00 (retails for $15.95)




This volume covers the great deception many Christians fall under concerning the false rapture theology.
