I may have let three small children play unsupervised with two large containers of glitter. I would definitely classify these sweet children as glitter affectinados. So much so, that when one bottle fell over without the lid, it was not cause for concern or reporting to the moms present, but rather them quietly rejoicing in quicker access to larger quantities of said glitter. My living and dining areas look like they have been visited by an exuberant Tinkerbell on steroids! And you know what? That is totally okay. The little girls had fun, us slightly older girls had coffee, and my floor/couch/dining room chairs got vacuumed. :) I am sure we will be sharing glitter around the house for quite some time, but it is a happy sort of thing to clean up. It's sparkly, pretty, doesn't damage anything, and you won't find it under a couch a month from now and go "Ew!". To quote Martha, "It's a good thing."
P.S. If one is inclined to partake in unfettered glittering, it is much easier to clean up the chunkier variety of glitter often found at drug stores as it all seems to fall to the floor and sweep up fairly easily. The fine pixie dust variety is a lot harder to dispose of but if you want your house to look a big magical it might be the way to go!
Here's a random wondering - why doesn't Disney market the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio? They usually market as many characters as possible it seems. The blue and silver glitter made me think of her today...
LOL I found glitter in my boots today!! Little girls really should be able to sprinkle glitter wherever they go :)

It has even migrated to my house and seems to multiplying daily :)
