Bows!

So I've been addicted to getting Peyton those little boutique bows. I just love them, they're SO cute! When I first started picking them up I recall them being pretty inexpensive- a buck or two here and there. Since they've become more popular though they've gotten quite expensive... I'm talking $5 for one clip!
I decided I'd try to make some on my own. I got some ribbon at the craft store for 60¢ a spool, I already had a glue gun so I just had to find the alligator clips. Those would prove to be the most expensive. I know in the states you can get them really cheap at beauty supply stores, I was able to find some at the yen($1) store... they're weren't as cheap though. I got a 4 pack for ¥105 after conversion that's about $1.33.
Anyway there are some pictures of the few I've made so far, like I said I've only got 4 clips to work with, LOL. I have a friend visiting the states that is supposed to pick me up a box of clips.
Ready to go to the park!

I had get this clip when I saw it from a boutique on base it was too adorable!

Enjoying some chalk, lol

I didn't make this headband I picked it up from a boutique selling at the BX
I didn't make this bow either, from what I've read online they're easy to make I just don't have any dowel rods to curl the ribbon.

Love this graffiti down at the seawall

Typhoon lego tower!

Walkin' Girl!!

Peyton's started to walk on her Dino walker! She surprised me while I was doing dishes today and went from the TV stand to her walker and into the kitchen all by herself! Then when Dada got up she showed him how she walked!

Artist to be...

So I finally uploaded Peyton's camera pictures to the computer. Of course there were a million photos of Tabby. On Monday morning we woke up to him howling in pain because he got another blood clot. We sure will miss him. :( Peyton's favorite subject :( I thought the dollhouse photos were pretty amusing. Apparently ballerina Barbie likes watermelon!
