Labor of Love for Crafty Mother

It started over the summer. Meggar looked online at Greek gift stores to find sorority-themed presents, but they seemed so expensive. We decided to use their ideas and make some ourselves. This week begins Recruitment, and Meggar will adopt a Little Sister on bid day. She won't even know the girl until Sept. 12, but she already has made: dorm-door poster with scrapbookish touches, an AGD songbook, AGD scrapbook, acorn necklace, wooden door plaque, personalized flip flops, picture frame, water bottle and red earrings. She also bought several cute items in red, yellow, and green.  Best of all is this black headband--made with iron-on letters cut from pink polka-dot fabric.  They were so easy! So Meggar asked permission to sell them for $5 each to all the girls in AGD as a fundraiser for their Homecoming Philanthropy.  She took nearly 40 orders in the first two days since she put it on Facebook! We spent Labor Day laboring over the ironing board.
