A treasure around your neck!

I absolutely love making these photo necklaces for people. To me they are a special treasure around one's neck. Any picture can be made into a necklace. I had a lady contact me to ask if I could make her little girl's one of their daddy. Their daddy will be getting deployed and she thought her girls would love having their daddy around their neck too remind them off him. I think this is precious and makes me proud that I can touch lives with these. These make great gifts too, my mom has many different ones of her grandchildren and love wearing them! I love wearing my kids and family around my neck!!!

New Project!

I recieved my new American Girl doll headbands in the mail this weekend! I knew that tons of little girls would love to have a headband for themselves and a matching headband for their favorite doll! These headbands can be made in any colors and bows can be added to them!!!
Here is the first attempt at the matching headbands!

They turned out sooooo cute and every little girl would love to have a set!!! My girls love them!

If you have any questions on how to make them please leave a comment! Thank you, Brooke

Third Birthdays Are A Blast!

I wanted to share another applique shirt idea that I did! My youngest child (Bella) just had her third birthday and when I would ask her what kind of birthday she wanted her response, everytime, would be "PURPLE!!!" So we did a purple birthday cake and I made her a purple outfit!!! I think it turned out perfect!!

Here is a picture of her birthday cake we made. It was our first attempt at fondant icing. I will try another cake like this for my daughters 9th birthday in July!!!


Here is Bella's purple third birthday outfit!!!



My best friend's little girl just had her third birthday too. She wanted me to make her a number 3 shirt and pigtail bows. This was very last minute so she just went home and found a t-shirt that I could applique on and then I found some fabric and ribbon that would be perfect for it! Here is what I came up with!



If you have any questions on my applique shirts or the cake I would be happy to answer them!!! Thank you for reading and following!! Brooke

Week #2 of ME!!!

Today was a crazy day and I am so sorry I am just getting to blog. I don't have any fun crafts or tutorials to share. The day flew by and I did not get much of anything accomplished. So today I want to share my second week of ME!
Tonight I am going out with a friend that I have lost touch with. We are going to dinner and a movie. I am way looking forward to chatting with her and hopefully getting our friendship back that we once had. I will tell you guys all about it this weekend!!!

I couldnt leave you without a couple pics!!!!
Here is Bella on the first day of preschool!!! She is so big and was so happy to go!!!

And here she is after we got home from pre school and she got into her sisters play make-up!!! She was loving her new look!!!

3 favorite bows!

Today I wanted to share 3 bows that I made the other day! I absolutely love making bows and accessorizing little girls!!! I think every little girl should have a bow to match every outfit. There are many people out there that do not even know all the possibilities with bows so.... this is my attempt at educating those that don't know their bows!!!

The first bow I want to share is the KORKER! Korkers can be made all sizes. They can be made one color, many colors, or with patterned ribbon!
I made this one with red, pink, and red dotted ribbon. I was thinking about Valentine's Day when I made this bow!

Here is the small basic bow. We love this type of bow at our house. It can be used on a ponytail, on the front side of the head to pull back the bangs, or two for pigtails.
I found this ribbon and absolutely loved it. Peace signs are in right now!!!

Last but not least is the Large Stacked bow! There are so many possiblities with this type of bow. It is a solid 1.5 in ribbon bow, a small 7/8 in ribbon bow on top of that, and then I topped it off with an awesome center!
This bow is a pink dotted ballerina bow!!!!

Thank you for looking at my creations and if you have any questions please feel free to ask!!! Brooke
