GiGi’s Makes Me…

We are asking all our participants, volunteers and families to complete the sentence, “GiGi’s makes me…” We want to use these notes to create a wall of inspiration for the playhouse.  You can email your finished sentences to foxvalley@gigisplayhouse.org or share your response on social media hashtag #gigismakesme and we will add them to our wall.
