Snowed in Crafty Style

Here in North Texas we have had an unsually long period of below freezing temperatures that starte with Rain, Sleet, & Snow Monday night and we've all been frozen in since Tuesday. Some people are feeling the effects of Cabin Fever, I on the other hand with my cricut and ribbon have had lots of time to catch up on orders and my craftyness. Growing up my High Schools mascot was the Zebras. I was recently asked if I'd like to donate something for a PTO fundraiser to help raise funds for the new childrens playground. This is the masterpiece I came up with. I used my cricut and cut flowers and glued a stick in between two of them. I let it dry cut slits and placed the hairbow clips thru the slits. A little floral foam, a cute box from Hobby Lobby and look how it turned out. I personal think it is SUPER DUPER :)

 One of my BFF's from Brownwood asked me again this year to donate something for the Brownwood FFA fundraiser. I was stumped as to how to make their basket as cute as the Zebra one since I didn't have 5 flavors of Lion ribbon to make bows with. So I used a new program I have called Make-The-Cut and cut out their teams acutal logo with my Cricut. HOW NEAT IS THAT!!

Don't forget to check out The Crafty Bow-tique on Facebook or visit our Etsy Store to order any of the Hairbows seen in these pictures. We always welcome Special orders, they are my specialty :)

Have a Happy Crafty Day!

Organizing....

So most of today was spent ORGANIZING! I also did a little Scraplifting, that is what these blogs are all about right? Sharing ideas with others! I just wish I had time to do all the crafty stuff that is floating around in my head. I felt the need to get a little organized and didn't really get to anything crafty today while I was off. But there is always tomorrow after work right?

Just wish I could get as excited about organizing and cleaning the rest of the house as I do my craft room LOL.

Its not a Ghost town I promise....

if you have stumbled onto this site from who knows where.....look for us on Facebook. That is the most up to date page. There is a link on the side follow us to Facebook there!!!!  Thanks :)

Hello and Welcome to The Crafty Bow-tique

I'm new to this whole blogging thing and don't know how often I'll actually get to do it, but I hope often enough!

A little about me, I'm a working mother of a 5 year old who has a passion for all things CRAFTY! I mainly make hair bows and dabble in glitzing up children's clothes. I love scrapbooking and taking as many photos of my kiddo as I can.

I'm a why buy it if I can make it type of person and that's what my craftiness is all about. I'm all about searching for those extra good deals and sharing them with everybody I know. I LOVE freebies and finding sites that give them away. Feel free to share if you have any shopping tips on crafty stuff when you find those super good deals.

You can visit THE CRAFTY BOW-TIQUE on facebook to see what things I'm currently making.
