Ribbon Spree!

Last night I went on a ribbon shopping spree! There are so many FUN ribbons out there that I ended up buying way more than I had intended to. Don't worry, I left a bunch at the store for another shopping trip :) Here are a few of the bows I made last night (because I just couldn't wait!). The rest are in my photobucket album.

More photos

I've created Photobucket album to show my bows. If you see something you like, let me know! If you see something you "sorta" like, but would like better if it were a bit different, let me know that too--I'm happy to customize. More to come... :)

Pipecleaner FUN!

Not sellable items, but my latest craftiness includes making these for Ashlyn. She loves playing with her pipe cleaner family! She also likes telling ME what to make for HER ;)

Paper Bag Gift Album

This was one of the first paper bag gift albums I made, back in 11/05. These albums are great for keepsakes since you can slide memorabilia into the openings of the paper bags. I have so much fun making these cute little albums! I made a sweet one with pictures of my daughter for my husband's first Father's Day. He kept it sitting out in his office to show off :)





Crocheted hat and scarf

I crocheted this hat and scarf set for a sweet friend of mine, Karen. She loves pink and pink/black are BuffMother colors :)

Altered Lunchbox with Mini Gift Album


I made this "lunchbox" tin w/ mini album for a bridal shower gift for my dear friend Becki a couple years ago. She and her husband were having a tropical destination wedding so I went with that theme...plus I know Beck loves pink :) This gift was more fun for me to make, I'm sure, than it was for her to receive!





Not the best pictures, I know! This was before I got my "Big Girl" camera :)

Burpies




I recently found a pattern for these adorable burp cloths and knew I had to make some for baby gifts. I'm still getting the hang of them, but I think they're just too cute! With one set I used some scraps to make a darling matching "ribbon" to tie them all together. I also monogrammed the baby's name on one of the burp cloths thanks to my mom's embroidering machine!
