Thats incredible.  4 in 2 days?  Takes me at least a week to make 1.  They look great.

I think any tree standing in GA. should be worried right now at the rate you're making bows.  ;D

Nice bows, keep going.

Nice work.  And good pics, too, especially for a 9-year-old.  You may have a photographer in the making.   :)
