There is a whole lot of crafting going on.

The wedding is only 4 days away and I am finally finishing up all of the crafts I have been working on. You would have thought I was the bride with all of the crafts I have been doing and how giddy I am. I guess I am just obsessed with making girlie things for my sweet little girls and nieces. For a mom that only wished for boys, I'm really into this whole girlie thing now.
So today's project was to make all the girls matching hair clips. Like I said before, I LOVE these little felt flowers from littlecards on etsy. I had her do a custom order for the grey felt flower and pink beads. I just love how they came out.
Since there is so much to do, the kids have been helping me craft this week. I usually save all of my crafting for when they are asleep, but not this week. Plus, I have had to leave nap time and bedtime to work on all of my etsy orders. I don't mind my kids fingers all over OUR crafts but not all over the ones I am going to sell.
I had to do all of the hot glue gun work, but while I was doing that, they were playing with the flowers and cutting out the cards. My little guy is a pretty good scrapbooker. And my little girl, well she just made a mess. She took all of the paper scraps from her brother and proceeded to rip them into smaller and smaller pieces and scattering them all over the floor. GREAT! It was a huge mess, but it kept her entertained forever and she loved that she was "crafting" too.
So 2 hours later we finally had all of these little beauties finished!

They look so sweet with their dresses and will look even sweeter inside their little purses I made them.





And since my crafting OCD just wouldn't allow me to simply throw these cute little clips into their purses, I had to make these cards. Yup, I really think I have a crafting OCD! But, thanks to all of the craft blogs out there, I know I'm not alone.
I would love to share with you the "just married" sign I made, but I don't want to spoil any of the surprises.
