These are so cute, i think this will be a great activity for the kids to do at their next sleep over.
Hi martha... you are inspiring.thanks alot
It is not a good idea to put child's name on these sneakers, for safety reasons
Super idea for those white shoes that look a little tired. Putting chids name or initials would make a hit too. I have a pair myself and plan to make them my garden shoes so here goes with flowers and cute sayings. Even stamps will work.
What a great kids' version of Linda Woods's famous art journaled shoes from "Visual Chronicles"! Fun idea! Ro's book is wonderful and she was so much fun on the show!
