Ribbon Holder

I found this tutorial on another blog...sorry I forgot where. Please let me know if this is yours!!

I grabbed a slotted basket from Dollar General and some dowels from work (when I worked). I just placed my ribbon spools on the dowels and slid them through the slots in the basket then put the ribbon ends through the holes to be accessible. Total cost=$3.50

I'm a Stay at Home Mommy!!

Friday Feb. 4th was my last day at work! I've loved staying home with Lily the past 2 weeks and really don't miss my job at all. Everyone asks me what I do with my free time but the truth is, I don't have much. Lily doesn't like to take naps and when she does it's usually not for very long. When she does decide to sleep I try to get my couponing done for the week and catch up on laundry, cleaning, etc. We've also made a few trips to the local thrift stores. :)

Anyone else a stay at home mom??

Do you thrift shop??

Just wondering how many of you also shop at thrift stores and where you shop!! My list includes Catholic Charities, Salvation Army, the local resale shops, and Goodwill when I get to the bigger towns. I plan to do alot more thrifting now that I'm a STAY AT HOME MOM!!! More on that this weekend...

My winnings!!

I've been entering giveaways nonstop on the blogs I follow and haven't won anything..until a couple of weeks ago. I entered this giveaway back in January and I won!! It's a really cute frame that I can display pictures on and easily interchange them.  Here's the frame displayed on our entertainment center. Thank you Liz!!

Bows, Bows, & More Bows!

I made more bows for Lily yesterday!!! I have so much ribbon leftover from our wedding, she's gonna have a ton in these colors. :)

4 Months Old

Lily is 4 months today...wow!! Where does the time go???

She is now rolling from her tummy to her back and really trying to go from back to tummy but gets caught then gets mad. :)
She is also "talking" alot and trying to stand on your legs or wherever she can put her feet down really.
She is sleeeping thru the night from about 8-8:30 until 6-6:30 am.
She just recently started eating between 5-6 oz each feeding.
We got for her next checkup and shots on Feb. 11th but she should be at least 12 lbs by now and definitely getting longer.
She is wearing size 3 mth and some 3-6mth clothes and can fit into size 1 shoes.
She's always smiling and is starting to giggle...I found her tickle spot yesterday. :)

She really is the center of our life right now and we love waking up to her everyday!
Here's some recent pics...I still have to get her "4 mth" pic today.

A few more DIYs

I have been wanting to spice up some candles we have in our room for a little while so I took some ribbon and hot glued it to these pillars and wala...cute candles! I like the cream ones better than the orange one but I wanted all 3 to match so I went ahead and did it to.

Lily also needed a new bow holder because the one she has now is completely full. I had gotten this scrap door from work and just Mod Podged some scrapbook paper to it and put on a "Our Little Angel" rub-on on it. I hot glued some ribbon to the bottom and now we have a big bow holder! Very easy and didn't cost me much at all.
