My First Soda Stand

My grandpa had a big party at his rock shop and I got to sell soda! My dad bought me 6 packs of soda to sell in my stand. I sold all of them, and then took some of the money I earned and bought more! Kathy and Terry even donated some soda to my stand!

Here is what I got with the money I earned!

We got to go to Disneyland the week after the party so I had all my money in an envelope my mom carried around for me!

My Crayons

The first crayons I made were just a homework project with my mom. I wanted a dino birthday party and my mom said she would help me make decorations. We made dino art to put up on the walls, dino invitations and dino favors. The favors were little dinosaur crayons that my mom helped me poor into a mold. After the birthday party some of my friends wanted more. So we made more... and more... and more... and then my mom helped me put them with dinosaur books in my grandpa's shop. I sold so many that I picked a few new shapes to make and we ordered molds for those shapes too. Now I sale them on my mom's website (Etsy store) that we share. Now my mom helps me cut the papers and I take the papers off the crayons, melt them, and put them into the molds (with a little help from mom or dad). I get half the money I make to spend on things I want, right now I am saving for Disneyworld. The other half goes into my college fund for when I'm a grown up. If you have broken crayons you want to let me use I would be really happy to recycle them (that's a big word mom taught me) into new shapes to make kids happy everywhere! You can send them to my grandpa's shop the address is on the Contact Us page, or if you want crayons for your kids or projects you can send me a request or buy some off the store my mom and I share here...

What Else I Do?

I also sell soda-pop at my grandpa's rock shop during major events like his rock shows. My dad bought 6 cases of soda for me to sell at the first rock show and I sold all of them plus another 8 cases that I purchased myself and 2 cases that people donated to my stand. I earned (after pruchasing more soda) $144.00 to take to Disneyland. My mom made me put half of it into a college savings account, and my dad made me pay my little sister Inara for helping. I still got to purchase a new set of Legos, and a Stitch Pillow pal!
