One of my favorite things is looking at homemade toys at craft fairs and once everything came out about the lead paint and the chemicals in so many plastic toys, I started buying them for my nieces. I was a little sad when I read this. While I totally support making toys safer, I had not thought of the un-intended consequences of these laws.
As an aside, what a great weekend! On Saturday, I baked for our annual TOOTPU cookie exchange, we decorated the tree, and made a nice dinner. Then Sunday was just fantastic! I had so much fun with all the DC blog ladies, catching up and meeting some of the new people there. Then I went over to my mom's and we decorated her tree and ate all of the cookies for dessert. The fam was quite impressed with everyone's cooking talents!

How sad! I just wrote letters to all of my representatives. I love, and prefer, homemade toys...they require more imagination than others.
Glad you had a fun weekend, and thanks for posting about the toys.
Thanks for the info about the toys. As you saw for yourself, we LOVE toys in my house. :-)
It was great to see you, so glad you could make it.
Great seeing you yesterday! Thanks to the cookine my whole department has a sugar high today. I didn't know that about the toys. Thanks for the heads up.
That is sad about the toys. It happens a lot that the little guy/business is hurt in the laws to control the big companies.
Yummm - cookies and holiday cooking. Sounds like you had a great weekend. Can't believe Christmas is next week, isn't that crazy?
