Micro Economy

For five days now we have been working very hard on projects that we will sell at the craft fair on Sunday. Today is our last day to work on them so we are finishing up. We got to choose our own projects according to our interests and have been working in groups of two or three to complete beautiful handmade projects.

I am making sled ornaments and holiday cards with Yonci; for food we are making meatloaf and pumpkin bars. The first day everyone chose what they would do and got down to work with shopping lists and experiments. Some of us had some ideas that did not work that great but eventually we got it all good.  Then we had to start work. Every time we made one of our products we learned some easier way to do it or some way to make it look better.

Today we found out at lunch that the craft fair is postponed. We had mixed feelings about that. I was really looking forward to the craft fair and really looking forward to seeing our friends and families, but on the good side we now have much more time to finish crafts and make food and be more prepared.

The minute we found out many of us had a relief of stress because we now have an extra day to do our things. The large snow storm (the postponer of the craft fair) will be very very fun to play in tomorrow. I think we are going to go sledding in the deep deep snow which will be very fun; I am really looking forward to seeing my friends and family but bad things have good sides too (in this case the extra day.)

I am very excited to do the craft fair and I hope you can come and see us!!!!
