Like the rest of you I too shopped garage sales when our kids were younger. I either got it at a garage sale or I made it.
Our oldest daughter (when she was little) told everyone at church that I made her shoes. We all got a good laugh at that.
Now she has her own children. She walked in on her girls fighting and asked what was going on. Her youngest was trying to convince the older one that I had made her shoes. I don't think she every heard us tell that story either.
