I have been a blog slacker...

...but I have a good reason! A few actually! Every once in awhile, my fingers just get itchy and I have to craft or sew something. Well, they were REALLY itchy! This is what I have been up to...

I was checking out a hair site that I use for ideas, and I found these curlers linked to her page. I thought they looked like fun, so I whipped some up for the girlies! This is how mine turned out. We haven't had a chance to try them out yet, but I will post some pics when we do!

I am also VERY sick of not being able to track down my girls bows. I have ribbons in the bathroom cabinet to clip them to, but they never seem to make it back in there. I looked for a cool solution, and found one here. I hope that it works! It turned out cute. I just used a piece of foam core instead of an artist's canvas and it worked great!

Then of course we had to make some nifty new flowers to put on it. My girls are really into wearing those big flowers in their hair. So Hannah and I whipped up a BUNCH of them! When I say a bunch, I mean a bunch! I went to the dollar store and found a pile of cute flowers, then I sent my mom to Sally Beauty Supply for a box of alligator clips. For about $20, we got a new supply of flowers, with enough left over that the girls can give some as Christmas presents! (We used a WHOLE BOX of 100 clips!!) Here is one of each of the ones we made!

That is why I have been a slacker! We also threw in a fair in good ol' Treetown as well. Sorry, I left the camera home, but if you see one fair, you've seen them all so please just refer back to a previous post to see what we did. And subtract Hannah, she went 4-wheeling with Grandma Charlene, Grandpa Brent, Aunt Jackie, and Uncle John instead! She was a chicken and walked down all the hills instead of riding. They all teased her until Grandma Charlene (who she was riding on the back of) had a little crash on the way down the hill! Hannah and Grandma were glad she wasn't on the wheeler then! Don't worry, Grandma Charlene got a couple of scrapes, but is OK!!!

Oh, I also learned how to make links! WooHoo!!
