I made something.
I know! Take a deep breath, I was shocked too. I am what the French call "Les Incompetante" when it comes to do with anything that can be found within the walls of a Michaels or Hobby Lobby. But desperate times call for desperate measures.
It all started this weekend when Aidan suddenly and without warning developed a terrible allergy to Spring, apparently. Her eyes are red and watery and she keeps rubbing her aforementioned tons of hair into her eyes and causing a lot of goop. She has managed to lose every bow I have bought her. (Yes, SHE lost them, I have never lost anything in my life, I don't know what you are talking about)
Since she was obviously miserable I rushed out to buy her some bows at the usual place (they're the only ones she doesn't pull out of her hair). They were running low and I was suddenly struck by the idiocy of buying a $6 bow. Those bows are made out of ribbon, hot glue, and alligator clips. Not golden dust and fairy wings. Then I saw a bow holder selling for $35 dollars. This bow holder, I kid you not, is a piece of wood with ribbon glued to it.
So I went to Michaels and Hobby Lobby and eventually Ulta to gather all of my necessary supplies. I could have just gone to Michaels and Ulta but this is my first time. For under $20 dollars I was able to get enough stuff to make 20 bows and a bow holder. And here it is...
I made this in 10 minutes. The dragonfly even came pre-painted people! Embrace the hot glue gun!!

I've never been so proud. Let's take a moment.........okay I'm done. If Viv ever gets enough hair to hold up an appropriately sized bow, I will come to you! You know that you now have to come up with a corny name for your business. I can't think of one now, but I'm sure you can, you're so creative and witty!
Good job Dara! I just realized I don't think I have ever put a bow in Abbey's hair, only rubber bands. (we have been through approximately a million of them) But if she starts demanding bows you will have to whip us up a lovely bow holder!
DARA

your better than me
way to go
i hope this leads to more :)
Way to go Dara! I'm very, very proud of you. You are so crafty.
I'm more proud that you threw out a Home Alone reference. Well played.
Very impressive! Way to go!
Hey that looks pretty good! Way to beat the man and be creative all at the same time! :)
I am shocked. And impressed. And just a little creeped out by you doing crafts. But I'm sure you threw in some sarcasm and witty comments throughout the process, making it much more Dara-esque.
