    I love that you are an official Boo Boo Kisser! This is my first visit to your site and I will definitely be returning, for sure. These are adorable craft ideas; I’d love to make them *with* the kids, being very much in touch with my inner child. Out of the ones that are pictured I think the Ladybug and the Frog are my favorites. Thanks for the ideas!
