Two Bundles of Joy

Welcome to the Two Bundles of Joy Blog Hop!

This Hop was put together by Nicole to celebrate her cousin.

You should have made it here from Colleen's blog- if not, make sure you start from the beginning so you don't miss anything.

I am so excited to be a part of this Hop to help welcome a new set of twins to the world!

I am the proud mother of twins and I wish the Mom (and Dad) to be the best of luck.

My best advice:

Get as much sleep as you possibly can!

And-

The answer to your question at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, etc. is...

No, it doesn't get easier- it just gets different.

Here is a picture of my twins today (11 years old)

And here they are at 1 year old

This is the product that saved my sanity!

It's hard to feed 2 hungry babies at the same time- but not with this!

It's called the Podee

Now- On to my projects.

Two babies = 2 cards.

Squeezy

Hi Everyone!

Happy Friday!!
I'm so happy to show you a super cute little bag that I made!

My daughter Avery was the inspiration for this project.

She ~~likes~~ loves pigs! She loves lemonade!

And since she was a baby we've called her "Squeezy" (I can't even remeber why!).

I saw Penelope Pig in a lemon costume and knew I had to do something for Avery with her. :)

Sentiment from PBD "Simply Everything"

I found this pennant flag box, by Lori Whitlock, in the Silhouette store and had to have it!

It looked like the perfect size to hold lemonade or drink packets- we go through a lot of these during the summer in our house!

So-- Miss Avery will be getting her Pig Lemonade Box in the near future.

Make sure you link up your ribbon projects with the Ink it Pink Challenge- use Ribbon!

3GJ Beautiful Bows Hop

Welcome to the 3 Girl JAM Beautiful Bows blog hop!

We are so excited that you are here!!

If you just happened to stop by, make sure you go to 3 Girl JAM to start the Hop.

There's so much excitement in our household over the new Bow Makers that are available now.

A and M are excited because they can make beautiful bows now (even more beautiful than they already could!), and even Mr. Bling is excited because he was able to get a little crafty on the production side of things!

For my project, I made a little mini-album card.

First, I made some background paper with the Pink by Design Big Hexagon stamp set. I used the new Tim Holtz Summer Distress Ink set *love*. I used a sentiment (also PBD) and cut around it and layered it twice- inking the edges as I went.

The inside contains 4 pages for pictures, doodling, notes, or anything at all!

I decorated the pages with more PBD stamps (The Life You Imagined) and Washi Tape!

The mini was put together by punching holes through all the papers and running some Goblin Green and Sunflower 3GJ ribbon through.

I tied a double bow with 2 ribbons with the pegs in holes 1 and 4. This made a larger 4 loop bow.

Isn't that FUN!

I have some blog candy today too!

One person who follows 3 Girl JAM and A Little Bit of Bling and comments below, will win the project that I created for today as well as the Red, White, and Blue Crinkle Ribbon Bundle (which is almost sold out!).

Don't forget to comment on all the stops along the way to have your chance to win the Sponsored prize package from our friends at Inky Impressions.

AND

make sure to link up you own Beautiful Bows project at 3GJ by July 15th for you chance to win a $10.00 voucher to the 3GJ store!
