{Desk Disaster}

Does your desk look like this?? Please say, yes. Well notice the date of the photo (8-16-09), 6 months later it still looks like this, but messier. How is it possible? Well just add more paper, school flyer's, ribbons, styrofoam head, glue gun (which stays on all the time), empty spools, make-up, tassels, store coupons, and my sanity. {I hope I don't regret posting this} Well, I have challenged myself to organized my desk and create a work and storage area for my bows. You see I don't have the luxury of an extra room like some of you. So I am taking over my breakfast area, besides who needs breakfast??:) So stay tuned ........ Yikes!!

Girls, Giggles, and Curls Sneak Preview

Hello ladies, just wanted to share some samples of the bows I have been creating. I have asked some girlfriends to give me some honest feedback, and now I want yours too. Since you don't owe me any favors I think you will be very honest, right?? Prices range from $3 for small ones to $7.50 for large ones.

They are hand stitched for durability.

Do you think they are priced fairly?
Are these bows something you might purchase for your daughter or someone else?
Shipping will be $5 and free for orders of $50 or more.
What questions might you have before making a purchase?

All comments, suggestions, and feedback is very appreciated. With so much competition out there, I want to make sure I am staying on top of things, thanks a million!!!

XOXO

P.S. I have named my little business Girls, Giggles, and Curls.

Where did I go??

Here I am! Wow, I can't believe I have been away from blogging for a while now.

So much going on as you all can surely relate to. I had my parents come visit me from

El Paso during the Thanksgiving Holiday, and we have been traveling to Austin to visit

with friends and family as well. Now I have been trying to catch up with the house cleaning/organizing, but it just doesn't seem to come to an end. I know, boo hoo hoo, right? What can I say, it feels good to complain sometimes although it doesn't

get the house clean, but at least you get it out of your system.

So what am I up to now, well I have been working on serveral little projects, but there is one in partcular that has been absorbing my time quite a bit. Do you want to know what it is???? Drum roll please............................I am starting my own LITTLE BUSINESS!!! Yeah, very excited about that. It is a bow business for little girls and tweens. I have been designing some cute bows that I hope to post soon.

So this is pretty much what is up with me for right now. Thank you all who have been visiting my blog during my absence and welcome to the 8 new friends that have joined my little world. You are so appreciated!

XOXO

P.S. My bread box that I won from Mustard Seed Creations has arrived!!! I will post picture very soon, I love it. Thank you Miss Mustard Seed!!!

{102 and counting}

Words can't explain the way I feel about my blog. It all started with Rate My Space, I loved seeing how everyone was decorating their homes. I would notice how some women would say, "if you want more details visit my blog at .....", I was like,"blog?". I quickly learned what a blog was and was hooked. I have to say that My Sweet Savannah was the very first one I came across, and it was and still is breathtaking. Now I have so many favorite ones, it's crazy good!

So I have reached 102, wow! I am so ecstatic because this is the number

I wanted to reach so bad. So many times I have been tempted to have a giveaway just so that my numbers would increase, but then I would change my mind and continued to be patient. I realized that attracting followers for their genuine interest was more important to me. Does that mean I will never have a giveaway? Of course not! It will happen....very soon.

So THANK YOU to each and everyone of you, you all have touched my heart in more than one way. Thank you for encouraging me, praising me, and inspiring me!

To my little blog: thank you for making my life better and bringing out the creative side I never knew I had.

XOXO

{Dresser Mirror Makeover}

This is one of 2 mirrors I purchased from Goodwill about 4 months ago. I believe they belonged to a dresser once upon a time, but now they belong to mua. I did nothing fancy, just spray painted glossy black and made me a ragamuffin (thanks to The Nester) for added cuteness. I'm thinking of making the other one into a chalkboard and painting it white, what do you think?

I fell in love with the details.

Before: yucky dated brown

After: pretty glossy black

The price on these mirrors were $6 each, but it happened to be 50% off that day, oh yeah.


I am joining Miss Mustard Seed's FFF, so please go pay her a visit.

and don't forget to stop by Jane's at
Happy Friday my beautiful friends!!

Garage Sale Goodies!

This past Friday my husband surprised me by asking me if I wanted to go to garage sales. Yeah, of course I do! So I jumped out of bed and 2 minutes later I was ready! Dropped my daughter off to school and we were on our way.

I love these white pots, aren't they yummy?

Oh this huge creamy bathroom rug was a steal for only $3. Love it!

See the price? I think this would be great to start my very own terrarium. I have always wanted to make one.

This cute seagull was begging to come home with me, and for $1 dollar, it did.

I just noticed that everything I purchased is white! Anyways these 2 bird house were only $3 for both, I might change the roof color to maybe navy blue, or red.

At last my very own sander!!!! I have been wanting one for a while, $7.50 was so worth the wait.

There you have it, my wonderful finds. Thank you for visiting.

XOXO

P.S. I just went to Goodwill the other day to buy a novel for a project and came home with 2 bags full of stuff! Love, love goodwill.
