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

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!!!
