Check out what's new!!!

Just a few things this morning before Xazmin and I head off to the greatest store ever!!! (Taipan Trading) LOVE this place!!! We need a fun break from working, and taking care of kiddos, so a visit to this store is definitely what we need, plus if you are into the Scentsy type candles at all, these guys have a brand of scented wax cubes that are AMAZING...in fact Xazmin picked one up for me for an "early"Birthday present last week, and it is the best scent ever!!!! Smells just like my very favorite candle from Salt City Candles....which I am not allowed to burn anymore.(Hunter Dan wasn't appreciating all the black on the ceiling from my obsession with candles...now I just have 4 Scentsys going at all times)

***********

Just a few pics from the outside of the house...kind of sad but I didn't get as much put up as I would have normally...I ran out of energy....it's still fun though and festive just no coffin, or spider webs, or big spiders...maybe next year.

These pumpkins light up with orange lights inside...No pumpkins and gourds yet around the front door, I think maybe for family home evening in a couple weeks we will head to the pumpkin patch and pick some.We've had some of those chilly Fall mornings too...love it!

*****************

Just a quick pic of something new that will be added to our Ribbon Blossoms website in the next few days.....

These are a new style of butterfly clippies, we already offer "bug"(including ladybugs, bees and butterfly) clippies, but we have some new styles to be added.... lots of new, super cute products that are in the works, be sure to check back and look for the adorable Turkey clippie coming for Thanksgiving, and we will be announcing a Christmas giveaway soon...VERY cute things in it!! There is still time to order an adorable Halloween tutu costume too!!! Check us out...Ribbon Blossoms

*******************
Lastly, Bug and Lexlee had orthodontist appointments yesterday morning. Poor Bug had to have four new brackets put on.....all the while Lexlee got a huge surprise, phase one of her work is done....BYE BYE BRACES!!!!!

She will get a break for about a year, but then phase two will start...more braces!!! Her teeth look amazing, her front teeth were completely sideways when she got them on, and her poor little mouth just didn't have enough room for all those teeth...unbelievable what can be done. I can't believe how much she smiled yesterday!!! Lexlee you are beautiful, and I love you to the moon!!!

***************

Off to the store we go!!!!! Have a fantastic day!!!!..

*********************

The inside of the house is finally decorated, but Ashie is TERRIFIED!!! Kind of sad, but also kind of funny! She is slowly getting use to our spooky stuff. The outside is not done yet...we've had some great rain storms... good for the grass, not so good for decorating, today is looking hopeful! I will post some pics of the inside tomorrow. My toes are cold this morning, fall is definitely in the air...I love it!

Here goes...

Oh so much fun...my annual camping family reunion...our theme in the camp was "cowboy" and Grandma gave everyone these plastic cowboy boot cups, and cowboy hats. Lexlee, my sweet niece, and Jibbity were so excited and had to "toast" with the new boots. Grandpa is in the back there laying on the picnic table...such a rough life. I can't wait for our reunion this summer. I am really a girly girl, but I grew up camping and there is nothing like getting out in the beautiful fresh air, and hangin' out with your family!!! I love you all...can't wait to "c u at the basin".

SOOOOOOO.... tired tonight. Ribbon Blossoms had a craft boutique today. It was as usual a rush to get everything done...and of course I stayed awake late at night and into the early hours of the morning, cutting, sealing, and hot gluing ribbon(and my fingers) to make bows. My schedule for the week was crazy with a fussy, pinkeyed one year old, laundry that doesn't do itself, and a family that thinks they need to eat. But it all turned out great, and I am ready to sleep for three days. I won't be going to church in the morning due to the spread of pinkeye to Jibbity, and Hunter Dan has to teach his Primary class so he can't stay home with the two youngest...maybe I will try to rest a little. Oh... and thanks to my sweet husband who took care of the cooking and kids while I finished up last night. Much appreciated!

Ribbon Blossoms Chic Boutique

I thought I should do a post introducing you to my business!

I have 3 daughters, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE getting them all dolled up, pretty clothes and pretty hair with pretty bows.

This led me to the idea of making and selling hairbows myself!!

I experimented with different designs and ideas, and soon joined forces with a good friend with 3 daughters herself, and created Ribbon Blossoms.

Together we've created a whole line of fun, girly accessories, that has expanded way beyond hairbows. We make tutus, pixie wings, bracelets, bow holders,

burp rags, bibs and more! We currently have a number of our
products listed on Daisy Craft, and hope to soon have our own

website up and running!

We also LOVE doing special orders, and working with you to create a perfect custom design that fits your little one's personality perfectly!

These pictures of our girls show just a few of

our fun creations.

So come check us out, or email us with any questions/suggestions, or ideas! ribbonblossoms@aol.com
