I think I am addicted!

I have been collecting supplies for making bows since I made my first ones. Finally on Sunday morning I sat down and made a couple. I wanted Kaylee to have one to match her dress for church in our new ward, so I made her one:

Then I made her another for another of her Sunday dresses:

Actually, I could have sat there ALL DAY making bows!

It is SO fun and easy! That evening I made her a bow board so I have somewhere to store them all:

That was not as easy, but still fun and I only seriously burnt myself with the glue gun once.....ok twice.

I am still collecting some of the supplies I need, and trying to find instructions to make different styles of bows. When I have all that, I think I am going to have to get Kaylee more dresses to go with all her pretty bows!

Fluff 'n Bows

I forgot how much FUN it is to get new diaper fluff in the mail!! I recently found a very good deal on some SmartiPants seconds, and a coupon for a FREE bumGenius AIO (all in one). Here is the link to the BG coupon: http://www.kellyscloset.com/Spring-Promotion_ep_82-1.html . There is also a coupon for a discount on 24 BG 3.0 diapers so check it out if you are looking for diaper deals.

Anyways, I ordered them a while ago and just got them yesterday. It was SO fun to get new diapers, and even better because they are ones that I don't already have! I am excited to see if I like them any better/worse than the ones I have now.

The smartipants are kind of a cross between bumGenius and Fuzzi Bunz. They have a snap enclosure like FB and adjust for a growing little one with snaps like BG. The inserts seem pretty wide compared to the diapers, but hopefully it will not be too bulky or bunched.

Smartipants inserts

I ordered girl colors (the options were girl, boy, and gender neutral...), but requested any available colors. I got 5 lavender/purple, and 5 VERY light pink. If we end up only having boys from here on out, he is just going to have to live with it lol!

Smartipants OS diapers

The BG AIO is exactly like 3.0 except that it doesn't adjust for growth (I got the medium size) and has an insert sewn inside the pocket. I was very pleased to see that there is a pocket for extra inserts if/when needed. I am really excited to try this one out.

BG AIO - looks just like the 3.0 without the snaps

The sewn-in insert

I also ordered some of the BG oder remover spray. I have just a slight oder coming from my diapers when they come out of the dryer. It isn't noticeable unless you stick your nose on the insert and sniff, but I notice it.....probably only because I know it is there. I am hoping this helps at least until I can start hanging them out to soak up the sun while they dry.

On another subject entirely, I went to another girls night last week, which was fabulous. We ended up making bows, and I think that is something I could easily become addicted to. It is a good thing I don't have any of the stuff to make them or I would never get anything done. Here are the three things I made for little Kaylee:

The first bow I made, and my favorite.

I can't wait until Kaylee has enough hair to actually wear these!

Hair clips

Now, I am on a mission to find an outfit that matches that blue/green flower!

I am searching for good deals on ribbon, alagator clips, wire, buttons, and scrapbooking flowers. Then I will make TONS of bows for Kaylee. I am also trying to decide on a good way to display and store them. I like the idea of a bow board, but also Initial bow holders. I just can't decide. Either way, I need some more bows first!
