Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

7 Hairbow storage

Bow storage has been in the back of my mind for months. Kylie can open the top drawers now and she totes them all over the house. When we are getting ready in a hurry I can never find the ones I want. Tonight I decided to act.

I grabbed this great old frame out of the trash pile when we cleaned out my Grandpa Jemmett's house (thanks for letting me have it Maren). You are actually seeing the back side of the frame. The front was an ugly solid brown, but the back shows a few coats of paint: cream, green, and brown. I love the textured shabby-chic look. I just took a piece of solid brown ribbon, wrapped it around the frame & secured each end with a thumb tack behind. There was even a hole in the frame for the nail to hang it on the wall. Now I can SEE what hair bows we have and Kylie can't carry them off! Sweet!!!

I LOVE this idea. I have been trying to come up with some way to keep from losing all of Lexi's hair things that I liked. I just may have to copy you.

Sarah Schwartz said...

Copy away! I'm loving it. The only thing I'd change is to make it bigger. Ha!

I don't have little girls or hairbows and I want one of these things.
