Bow-Bow Holders

I've started making organizers for hair accessories as gifts. I've made quite a few, but of course didn't take pictures of all of them but here are a few that I have done.

I also used this same idea and made teacher appreciation gifts.  I attached clothes pins all down the ribbons and on the rings I attached blank index cards.  And, of course like I said earlier, I forgot to take pictures of those!

Trash vs. Treasure

The big kids are going to learn really quickly not to leave stuff lying around.  Itty Bitty has figured out how to open the garbage can drawer AND "throw away" things!  She was pretty proud of herself!




p.s.  Is it just me or do I sound like I've been sucking down some helium?  Maybe I could get a job at WDW as one of the characters! :)

Pride cometh before the fall

I was feeling pretty pleased with myself today.  The kids have been back in school for the last two weeks and I have stuck to my meal planning and house work despite the fact that we have been bombarded with activities.  In the past, PTA meetings and birthday parties and sick babies would have been a great excuse to order take out or skip cleaning the toilets.  Not this time, no sir, I made a commitment and I was sticking to it!  So as a reward for my "good behavior" I decided to be especially frugal and hit Steak-n-shake for their happy hour half priced drinks.  I got a nice refreshing fountain coke to sip and enjoy after a couple of weeks of hard work.  But alas, the Lord kneweth my sin and he judged me.  As I turned the corner out of the steak-n-shake parking lot, my cup of bubbly caffeinated nectar toppled out of the cup holder and spilled in its entirety all over the floor of my truck.  SIGH...So not only did I NOT get to enjoy my refreshing beverage, but I had to clean out my truck when I got home!

Lesson learned, dear Lord...at least until I fall again!
