Bridal Shower gift idea

A friend is getting married in April and I didnt want to just get a gift I wanted to get creative so I made a dish towel cake.

I turned this:

into this:

It was pretty fun to make and the bride to be said she liked it so thats all that matters! : )

Babies grow fast

So they need new clothes a lot.   That's expensive so why not look for a bargain!  Here are some of my bargain clothes finds.

This first one I found on craigslist.  $10 for all of this!

This one is not the best of the bargains but still better than buying brand new!  $15.63 for this at a local consignment shop.

Another lot of adorable clothes!  8.89 for these at the local Salvation army (50% off day!)

Lastly, my favorite!  31 outfits/shirts/skirts/pants/shorts/swimsuit for 50.99!  Wee usables had a event in our area Thursday to Saturday.  Saturday from 8 to 11 things were 50%off!  If I would have gone the day before this all would have been $94!  Can't imagine how much it would be brand new!

I know some people won't have their kids were used clothing but there is no way we could afford all brand new clothes for her as much as she is growing!  Hope this inspires you to find some good deals! 

update!

Well its been a little over a year since I have done anything on here.  In that year I have had a gorgeous baby girl.  This has caused me to go part time and so I want to try and be more crafty with my extra time and blog about it!

I will also talk about being a mommy!  I have been kind of throwing around the thought of using some cloth diapers(thanks to my sister as well as some people on a Dec mom forum I am a part of) for just at home.  A blog about cloth diapering is having a great giveaway! Still want to do some research on them though.
