Tissue paper and hair bows

Some call me crazy, some call me dutch. I like to call me brilliantly colorful :)  I have been [teased] for keeping my tissue paper and gift bags that people wrap gifts in. At Christmas time you might find me snatching beautiful bows, and on my birthday i will most likely be seen sneaking the bows off my presents as i unwrap them. I'm a little sneaky thief....of my own things. I see it as this: WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE SPEND 2$ ON A LOVELY BOW TO ONLY BE ENJOYED ONCE? its like  the wedding dress theory or something.  pure sadness. So if you ever receive a gift wrapped by me, in a bag you gave me in the first place...don't be offended. Be honored that your wrapping was worth keeping :) Well....Because of my hoarding problem or whatever you want to call it, I spent some time organizing and folding (yeah ok im a little crazy) colorful tissue paper and bags to place in this perfectly sized, empty drawer.  Be jealous.



 This past week I also spent some time making some cutesie little hair bows for this little bun. It was fun to shop my ribbon box ( of you guessed it....more stolen gift wrappings)


In the nursery I now have a "nursing basket" it has burp cloths, bibs, pacifiers,and some nursing pads. this way wherever Baby wants to eat, i can just grab this shnazy little ready-to-go basket with the necessities.

 Last, but not least. DRUM-ROLL PLEASE :)  A most adorable Hair Bow holder! (credit to Alexa Pratt for the idea to use these CUTE tiny little baby clothespins used at the baby shower yesterday.) I just had to find a way to use these little guys.. because well....why not!?  I took an old picture frame, mod-podged some pink fabric {leftover from the flower curtain tie backs} to the back. Then did another layer of that awesome glue on top of some copies of our most recent pics of our little bean. Lastly, hot glued some of the tiny clothes pins to the bottom of the frame. TA-DAA Frame hair bow holder thingy! I have other ideas yet to be worked out for the tiny hair bows that are not on a headband. you'll see :)



Bow snatching and Sonogram love,
