I have been in a mode lately. My husband would tell you that when I am in a mode I am so focused that on that subject that I am not distracted by anything. Well lately I have been in a crafting mode. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all things craft. I could blog hop all day looking at people's craftiness and get nothing done. (I have been guilty of this lately.) Now let me make a disclaimer here; I am not the creative type to usually come up with something myself, but I am a darn good copier. I love seeing what other people create and try to re-create it myself.
My favorite craft is scrapbooking. I am a huge scrapbooker. I started when I was pregnant with my daughter. I just wanted to capture and remember every moment of her life. Well she is two and a half and I have kept up pretty well with the moments of her life. I am on the 6th album of her short little life so far. Yeah, I know, six. But these are moments that I want to remember forever and ever. For generations to come. It's pretty easy to keep up with her life. But she is only one child. I don't know if I will still be able to keep up with more kids, but I will try my hardest. For our family scrapbook, I have been using Becky Higgins Project Life. It's a picture a day concept that captures your life and family. I love it. I love all thing Becky Higgins. It's easy to keep up with your year. I have kept up all year so far. It's October. I have even impressed myself.
Here are a few of my latest creations in scrapbooking:
My newest crafty creations have been making hairbows. I love have a little girl to dress up, and I love putting hairbows in her hair. But have you seen the prices of hairbows these days. Yikes. There are some super cute ones out there but they run from $15-$30. So I decided to search the internet on how to make your own hairbows and I ran into a super cute store called The Ribbon Retreat. It's all things hairbows. Here are a few pics of my very first creations in the hairbow world.
Cute huh? I think so. They are so fun to make. I can only pray for God to give us another little girl so we can play dress up.
Here is a few pics of my craft room. It's actually a craft/play room. One half of the room is Alexis' toys and the other half is my toys. It's kind of a mess right now, because like I said, I've been in a mode. No time to clean up.
One last thing for today. Here is a pic of my next creation.
