Colourful Balloons!

 






Yes, we finally had to free Charis' closet from the balloon takeover, and leave room for her clothes, esp. since she doesn't have a dresser!  It's easy to see that she carries more than 50 colors, sizes and shapes of balloons (several colors in some boxes).  The balloons are sorted by what goes in which loop in her apron. We've never filled a box completely as a couple hundred of each color is enough to store, but likely 600-800 would fit in one box.  The best part is that inventory is a breeze! It's obvious that she's currently out of many colors ( a great time to reorganize) but that we've got lots of blue!
