Some Fun Projects

HEART HAIR CLIPS

is were we found this fun idea to make some fun clips
to wear and share for Valentines Day!
We've been needing a new accessory for the girl's hair
...these were perfect and really fun! 
I don't know why it was so much fun to burn the edges...but it was!
We also made some round ones for the girls and some headbands for the baby!
***
HANGING ROSES
These were really fun to make! 
I got the idea from a great blog c jane blog
and she got the idea from one of these two blogs
I decided to hang our "rose balls" in the baby's room
right about the crib.
Alexa loves them and said, "I wish we made these for my room when I was a baby..!"
Sorry girl, just learned how to make them :)
***
We didn't want the girls to feel left out of all the "doing new things to house" fun
and now that we have a new playroom all situated, Alexa and Karli had a lot more wall space to finally do this!
We ended up purchasing this "wall sticker/vinyl mural art" from Ebay
...but almost chose a few through Etsy...
And we love it! 
It adds so much fun to their room.


Well, those are some of the fun things we've been doing to keep our minds busy lately :) 
We are getting excited for the baby to come, and are hoping she doesn't come quite as "out of the blue" as we felt our last happened!  Hopefully we'll have a name picked out, the house all organized, and a bigger vehicle by then...but if not, we'll make it work out just fine!  Any name suggestions ? :)
