Bow Easy

Hello, everyone!

I have something to share with you that I absolutely LOVE!!! It's called Bow-Easy. Some of you may have heard of it before, but for those of you who haven't, let me tell you how wonderful this little tool is! I always struggle with making my bows look just right. I do fine with knots but I just never got the hang of making really nice bows. This sweet little gadget lets me create SEVEN different size bows: ¾" - 1" - 1¼" - 1 3/8" - 1 ¾" - 2 3/8" - 2¾" and any width ribbons, braids, threads, cords or even fabrics can be used!

My daughter will turn 8 years old two days after Christmas. She is left-handed and she was able to create beautiful ribbons, too. Here are the ones she made.
Here are the ones she made along with a few I made.
I ordered mine from Susana HERE and I recommend you order from her, too. You can watch a video tutorial for this product HERE. Look what she gave me for ordering.
Thank you, Susana! You are the best! Now I will have NO excuse for not making a beautiful bow every time!

Hugs,

Am I crazy or what???

Hey, everyone!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today to see what is new! If you haven't received your copy of my newsletter for this month, check your bulk folder and if you still don't have it, let me know. I would be happy to send you a copy of it!

This weekend has been full and busy! Paul had surgery on Friday! Everything went really well. We were sooo tired that morning and arrived an hour early, so we slept in the car (SUCH A NICE DAY!!!) for a little while before we had to go in. Here's a couple pictures of Paul just before he was going in. He is so tall his feet stick off the bed! LOL

That was a long day for both of us! He rested at his mom and dad's a while and then I took him home to rest for the night. Then I had to get busy! My cousin's baby shower was Saturday afternoon. I said I would help with the cake, favors and a special gift. I was up for 28 hours straight!!!! Am I crazy or what? Here's what I came up with:

30 homemade almond bark covered pretzels with blue sprinkles party favors that say:

Thank you!

Love,

DJ & Baby David

I made my own bow from ribbon!

This is the card and envelope I made using the TAC HELLO BABY stamp set and a few miscellaneous stamps, TAC Jumbo circle punch and scalloped circle punch.

The candle is a keepsake for the baby...a preemie and not home yet! DJ loved it!! I used the TAC WILD FOR YOU stamp set.

This is the cake I made! It had been over a year since I decorated a cake and I was really, really exhausted but it turned out okay. It tasted so good! Well thanks for stopping by! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!!!

Hugs,

Bridgett
