123/366 tissue paper flora

Sweetpea chose a Rio theme for her birthday party this year. We spent today making a table full of tissue paper flowers and leaves in bright, saturated colors. I use the word “we” loosely—she helped for approximately four flowers before leaving to play cars with the little guy. We were working on these stacked tissue hibiscus-type flowers, and I showed her how to separate the layers to make them fluffy.

“You're hired!” she said.

Seriously? Where does an almost 8 year old get a line like that?
