Hair Bow Madness!

After making those frames I really felt like crafting! I wanted to find a way to make a little bit of money while doing something I like so while browsing http://www.etsy.com/ I decided that I'd try to make some hair bows. I went and got the supplies and got to complete about 10 or so. Out of the ones I finished I like 2 pairs. I am going to put pictures up a little while later, cause I dont know how to from my phone!

*Edit: I made one more batch tonight, and I am much happier with the new ones! 

These are the ones I liked from the first batch.

And these are all of the ones from tonight. 


I hope everyone is doing good. Things are ok here. I am still dealing with everything, and I am finding that people will do things to make it harder if you allow them to. I won't be allowing that anymore though. I have to stop putting the feelings of others over my own. It is a tough thing to do but it will be so worth it :)! Until later, I hope you all have a great day and HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2011 is going to be great!

Got some frames done in time for Christmas!

Here are the ones I have completed, as promised. I am going to be giving these as gifts for Christmas. I think that making these frames is really simple and fun!


I will be giving this one to my daughter's Grandma.


This is going to be given as a gift also.


If you are on a limited budget and like to craft, these are a great gift idea. The frames can be found at Michaels for $1 each. They don't have glass so I went to the dollar store and bought some 4x6 frames to take the glass from. It worked like a charm! I already had some of the stuff I used, but found myself purchasing new embellishments to use (Michaels is my crack, lol!) I will be making 3 others also. After purchasing the frames and supplies I needed I spent about $45. I will be getting 5 gifts out of the $45 purchase, making the cost of each one around $9. Not bad!


I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, if I don't get a chance to post before then.
