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

Inspired in SOOO Many Ways!

have been inspired in so many ways by so many people! I named my blog Girl Boy Girl Inspired because I have an 8 year old daughter, a 6 year old son, and a 3 year old daughter and they inspire me every day to be a better person, a creative person, and to try my best at everything.

I have never had a great way to exhibit my children's art work and of all times this is the best time ever, my baby (Bella the 3 year old) is starting preschool tomorrow! I was browsing the blog world and saw a fun great way to show it off so I put my own touch on it and here it is! (I want more than anything to link back to where I got my idea but can't find the blog now...I want to give credit where credit is due so if you know the blog I am talking about please let me know!)

YAY!!! I am sooo glad that Michelle found my blog and yes, she is the one that inspired me to do this project!!! Thank you sooo much!!!


Here are the letters when I finished painting and modge podgeing them!




And here is the finished project! I do not have a ton of wall space for it so it is above a doorway but where the kiddos see it all the time!!! They love seeing their work!

Thank you for following! Brooke

Funny but Great Post!!!

OK I will have to give you all the background for why I did this or it will seem completely ODD! Well we are a bit ODD but that is ok! We have a brown flannel sheet that I love in the winter! I don't have to get into a cold bed and it is comfy (I like the house warm, I don't like to be cold) Well my husband HATES the sheet, he complains when I wash sheets and put that one on the bed. He says he is sweating and never sleeps good. (He like it cold and we never have the heater above 67 degrees) We joked about cutting it in half and have one side his and one side hers. I finally took the plunge and did it!!! It turned out way better than I imagined and we will try it out tonight!!! HAHAHA It even goes great with our bedroom redo that is under construction right now (excuse the half painted walls, I am in the middle of painting but these SNOW DAYS have stopped that. I can't paint with three kids in the house!)

Check out the pics of my new and improved sheet!!!

SNOW DAY!

HI there!!! This wasn't my original post for today but that post can wait till tomorrow!!! We had a SNOW DAY today! I called my bestie and her, her son (coop's best friend), and her sister joined me and my kiddos at the park for some sledding fun!!! This is the first time that I have sledded in forever! It was a blast! One cool thing was, the local newspaper showed up and took some great pictures of us for this Wednesday's paper! What a way to spend the day!!! I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed the play time!!!

Bella wasn't all for the sledding...she went three times but wasn't thrilled. I guess at 3 she just ins't quite sure if she likes it or not!

She has been doing this cross eyed thing lately and thinks it hilarious, well here she is at her finest!

Here is Lauren getting ready to go down the big hill!!! She looks so cozy and pretty! She had a blast!

Here she is coming back up the hill!!! Man I got my workout for the day. I think I walked up that hill about 30 times!!!

Here is Cooper!!! He also had soooo much fun!!!

Cooper and Ryan, best friends!!! They had so much fun going down the hill together!!!


SNOW DAY = FUN DAY!!!

Sunday Scoop

Here on the Sunday Scoop I am going to share projects that we have going here in our home. I started our bedroom about a year ago and I am going to finish it now!!! When we bought this house it was covered with gold stuff, gold door knobs, gold ceiling fans, gold bathroom knobs, gold gold gold.... It also was covered in flowers, don't get me wrong I like flowers and floral prints but these were not nice (in my opinion!) The first picture I want to share is my hubby and daughter working together to tape off my middle stripe! (The top will be light blue and bottom will be navy blue, then the middle stripe is going to be brown!)

The next picture is our bed, ignore it I was stripping it to wash everything! There will be pictures of me and my husband on either side of the window.

OK now this picture is embarrassing!!! We have been using a box to put our DVD player on and other various items. When this project is finished there will be a mantle under the tv. This will hide the cords some and give me a spot to sit a few creative projects!! I think that the people that owned the house before us were smokers (I can't smell it but the fireplace isn't white, its like yellowish white...yuck!) I plan on repianting that and then getting some sort of shelf to sit the DVD player on and other items!

BEWARE!!! These pictures have the last remaining floral wallpaper. HIDEOUS! This is
a niche in the ceiling and I plan on painting where the floral paper is brown. The ceiling fan has already been replaced! I had to get rid of the gross gold one!


I can not wait till this project is finished and I can show it off!!! I have wanted my bedroom done forever ago! I also have some uppercase living that will be on the walls and I hope to complete some fun creative projects to add to the room too!

If you have any fun creative ideas for me I would absolutely love to hear and see them!!! If I use your ideas in my bedroom remodel I will link you and feature you on my blog!!! Thank you, Brooke
