A Journey to Add 2 more: Hair bows and a garage sale

Hair bows and a garage sale

I stayed up until 1 a.m. to make flowers / hair bows for our yard sale.

I made over 40 tonight and I didn't start until around 9 p.m.

My goals was to have 100 bows made by tomorrow, but I ran out of clips :(

I have 78 total clips up for sale.... I have some that are just for my kids, so I have made over 100 :)

Here are some of the clips I have made (I had my dad cutting ribbons and my mom putting them in groups :)

This is just some of our other garage sale stuff....

I hope we make a good amount of money because I have figured that I will have to make over 6000 hair bows to sale if I am going to raise enough money to buy our house (down payment) and bring our son home :)

Wish me luck ;)

You've been busy! Your hair bows are so cute! Hopefully your garage sale went well. Too bad my girls weren't there. They love garage sales. When my neighbors had one they couldn't stop lurking.
