Did you wait patiently or frantically for the tooth fairy? I've had insomnia since childhood, so I thought I'd meet the tooth fairy for sure! Never had the pleasure, but always found a quarter under my pillow the next morning and was never happier!
Even when my younger brother told me it was my mom and dad I didn't believe him! However later I was dismayed that the tooth fairy wasn't fair with her visits because my cousins got a dollar for their teeth! Suspicious!

Here is the story an Etsy buyer sent me:
Thank you so much. I have been looking for something like this for my
daughter who is about to lose her first tooth any day now. I can't wait
to give it to her. Shipping was fast and excellent price.
So happy a child gets one because I know I had always wanted one as a kid. I thought it would be so funny to have my tooth in a tooth around my neck!
The DIY tooth fairy necklace kit comes inside a diamond box, a diamond ring or a gum ball capsule, available here

Saying Goodbye: I've had plenty of these stashed over the years for a classroom of third graders of 30. These were so much more fun to pass out than an envelope when someone lost their tooth and great motivating tool for introducing dental hygiene week!
DIY Kit includes a choice of storage containers, carnival prize style necklace, plastic tooth locket box, heart pony beads and glow in the dark pony beads that are easy for little ones to arrange in their own patterns to get ready for their tooth to fall out!

What I Learned:
1. Since some of my teacher destash hoard items are being enjoyed on a regular basis we keep restocking them. I would have never thought it possible! My hoard keeping toothless grins happy around the country? Who would have thought?
2. My dehoarding journey has been slow and steady, but the best part is I am starting to see some major progress. There is a larger path now in the music art room and in most places I can walk around without getting snagged on a box or something.
3. There's room for little stations now too, so there is a shipping area, packaging area and a take a break with view area, however I still have my dumping ground where stuff seems to magically pile up and multiply!
4. I've come a long ways since I first started because my music art room basically looked like a some what organized landfill full of boxes and walking around in it was like step hiking over boxes of rocks. It was impossible to get a vacuum cleaner in there because only a mouse could find a path and if anyone else besides me went in there I had to verbalize a disclaimer about entering at your own risk and warn about the falling boxes since I had them stacked haphazardly to the ceiling!
