FREE Woven Headbands E-Book

Still on a semi-hiatus, which just means I'm not following my schedule right now. I've had a crazy few weeks and I'm not sure when things will slow down, so this is just what works for now. That's good new for you, though, because that means my filler posts will be e-books that I have already typed up.

Please ignore the email address in the e-books. It is no longer mine. If you need help, leave a comment here. Please do not email tutus@nelliebugs.com!

This popular e-book is one of the most detailed ones I've written. It has lots of pictures and very clear directions,  and even though it might seem tough to make these at first, it's not. :)

There is also some wholesale information at the end of the e-book so you can buy headbands and ribbon at low prices and make a profit if you decide to sell these items. Great for boutique owners!

Click here to view the e-book in Google Docs. Click here to view my other tutorials. Please leave a comment if you like the e-book, so I know to post more of them!

School Time: Paint Chip Learning Tools

A FREE project! I'm all about inexpensive homeschooling tools. This one is really versatile.

You'll need: Paint chips/cards, hole punch, and thin ribbon.

Choose a side. Punch a hole (or two).

You can write numbers, colors, letters, etc. Tie the ribbon through

the hole, or you can use a jump ring.

We made a book of colors (above), and an addition book (below).

And a vocabulary book (will be adding definitions, too!).

Store them in a cute little shoe box! :)

Some giveaways *I* won, and a recap on what YOU can win.

I am the luckiest person, ever!! :) I won not only one.. not two, but THREE of the OWOH giveaways I entered!! How awesome is that?!?

Out of 275 entries, I was the winner over at Julie's blog!! This is what I won:



I entered probably 200 of the giveaways, and this was one of the top 5 that stood out the most! I'm SO glad I won it! Check her blog out -- the way she took pictures of her cutting all the entries out, shuffling them in a DRYER (lol), and choosing one.. well, it was really cool! And then to see my name on a little piece of paper?! Too neat.

Next, I got an email from Kelly saying this: Your prize consists of one of the ATC/Collage packs on my blog Artsy Visions and 2 digital collage sheets from Collagevisions..



I was so excited! Know why? Because I have been wanting to get into ATCs and collages for swaps but haven't done it. This was just the push I needed. As for the collage sheets, they can be found on her etsy shop: HERE. I actually printed one out, cut it all up, and glued it (in true collage fashion, I think) to a journal that I just mailed out (to the United Kingdom!) for a swap.

And last, but certainly not least, I won Marie's giveaway as well! Out of 422 bloggers, I was one of four winners. The first winner, to be exact. :) hehe. Check out her blog to see what I won. I chose the Rivier.

Just a little recap, there are a few giveaways that I have going on right now. You can visit our giveaway page to keep up with which ones are going on at what times. Currently, we have a Facebook giveaway -- "Beautiful Things Happen When a Woman Trusts God", by Sheila Walsh -- just leave a comment on the wall post I have up talking about the book and you will be entered.

We are also doing a giveaway right here on our blog. Just leave a comment on this entry for your chance to win.




There are also other ways to get EXTRA entries, so check those out by clicking here.

I'm also still waiting for two lucky bloggers to email me their weight loss story. Are you a blogger? Are you trying to lose weight? Would you like some motivation from ME to get to that first milestone?? I have already chosen one blogger to receive a prize package once she reaches 25 pounds lost.

Prize packages can include, but are not limited to, patchwork scarves, soaps, body scrubs, workout DVDs, motivational CDs, and much, much more!! If you or someone you know is a blogger that is trying to lose weight, PLEASE email me your/their story (with their permission of course)!! What do you have to lose??? Besides all that weight...

Introducing... BOUTIQUE BOWS!! (And a giveaway!)

I just added the cutest bows ever to the website, so be sure to check them out! They are only $4.99 and there are a few designed to match some of the tutus we make. :)

Before I forget, the cute little blonde in my photos is not my daughter. She is our newest model, and belongs to Dana. If you're a mom, or a craft lover (especially knitting), following Dana's blog should be on your To-Do list.
