Sometimes I'm happy she doesn't listen to me

Christine was given a book report and project to have completed for this week. She read the book and wrote the report during break last week. Then she could choose from a couple of options for the project part: a diorama, a powerpoint presentation, or a bottle buddy. She of course wanted to do the bottle buddy. I didn't even know what that was and tried to persuade her to do a diorama since we've done several of those before. She wouldn't hear of it and insisted upon the bottle buddy, which by the way is taking a 2-liter soda bottle and turning it into a character from the book. Her book was set in the 1700's with the main character being an 8-yr old girl. I finally gave up and said, fine make the bottle buddy. Well, she made it (with a little help from me and a quite costly trip to HL) and it is so precious. Meet Sarah Noble below. She has long, braided hair that was hot-glued on a strip at a time, a styrofoam head, clay nose & mouth, wiggle eyes, plastic doll arms & legs and is wearing American Girl Doll clothes and shoes. She's quite stylish!! We need to make her a cloak since she wore one throughout the story. Wish me luck with that!
