Millions of Bows!

I have gotten addicted to making bows for Cambria and Ashlynn. I went to this store called The Ribbon Retreat in Shelly and I got a grab bag for $11 and it had TONS of different kinds of ribbon in it. I also bought a bunch of alligator clips, and yes even more ribbon. I even found ribbon and cute flowers at the dollar store. I have been watching videos on you tube with people showing you how to make certain bows, but so far the best website I have found is www.girlythingsbows.com they have different cute bows and clips and pictures with instructions on how to make them. Sarah, you would be so proud of me!! Here are my latest creations!


I didn't notice until after I made the slide show but it turned some of my pictures. They weren't like that when I downloaded them. Oh well... turn your head!

Duck Race
This Saturday we went to the Duck Race. It may seem really strange, but to raise money here for the greenbelt across from the temple, they let you "adopt" a rubber duckie for $5 or a six quack for $25. They drop them all in the river and the first few to go over the falls and cross a finish line win prizes. The first place prize was a car, then a $1000 gift certificate to Farr's, $1000 to Sams, 2 round trip tickets for some airline, a family ski pass, and other stuff. Sadly we did not win anything, but there is always next year! It was fun to go and see all the ducks in the river. It was also a very nice day outside and we each pushed a stroller and walked around the greenbelt, and we also walked to the library. We stayed at the cabin Friday night to work on a fence, but we didn't take our camera. It was very cold and foggy when we woke up in the morning. It was so fun. I will take the camera the next time we go!Read the white sign... It is too bad you weren't here Stacey, you missed out on your free rose!

oh my gosh, jelous of all the cute bows you made. I need to live by you so I could do girly things with you. I'll need to show Roni the website so we can make some. Brody and Aiden would have loved the duck race, looks fun. For once, the name Stacey is good for something and I miss out...:(
