4-H Christmas

Several young entrepreneurs have been 
very busy little bees 
making items to sell 
at the annual Christmas sale 
throughout their town. 


They were busy sewing up cute little apron bonnets that convert from an apron to a bonnet 



and infinity scarves - 
all made from scraps of fabric 
and left over end pieces 
from some forgotten projects.


One young lady knitted several adorable 
hat and scarf combos for an 18" doll.
   

Others tried their skill in the kitchen baking delicious mouthwatering gingerbread cookies; 


 tossing muddy buddies (puppy chow) 
to eat by the handfuls;


cooking delicious jellies with 
all kinds of unusual flavors 



and making 
scrumptious hand made Herbal Creams
with different fragrances such as Lavender Mint, Lavender, Peppermint, Rose Peppermint, Rose, and Rose Lavender.

  
 They also had to figure out how much to sell their one-of-a-kind items to make a profit 
and set up a display appealing to the public.



This was a valuable lesson for these young entrepreneurs in salesmanship. 



They learned the joy of making 
a product that they were proud of, 
how to sell themselves to the public, 
the ups and downs of running a business, 
and making a profit.



You can still purchase some items for gift giving. 
Please leave a comment below and 
we will post the details on cost and delivery.
