Butterfly Clothes Pins

For those of you that haven't had the pleasure of Pinterest... hurry your butts over there, sign up, and start browsing!! It's good awesome for basically anything you're interested in--cooking, cleaning, organizing, baking, beauty, fashion, crafting, entertaining children, or even how to make an escape rope from a shoe lace, rubbing alcohol, and a glue gun... haha, okay, maybe not the last one, but it could probably come pretty freakin' close... as any Pinterest user would agree!

Anyways... now that I have confessed my love and passion for Pinterest... onto what this post is actually about...

While scrolling through all the posts on Pinterest, I'll come across some spiffy ideas for Sophia to craft out of simple things =) The most recent one is making butterflies out of clothes pins.

Excitedly, we searched and searched throughout our home for the seventy that I know we have somewhere... to no avail. Next best thing... we trip it to Michael's. Get there and find out they are out of stock... WHAT?? Okay, no problem, good thing there is a Target just a few doors down... this conglomerate has got to have it in stock... right??? I was starting to get nervous... Sophia has been expecting to do this project for over a week and didn't want to see her disappointment.

We were directed to the laundry aisle, and... TA-DA! There they were... I actually didn't see them, Eli had to point out the package of fifty that was directly in front of my face and at eye level (!!!)... um... I'm going to just mention here that I was a little tired...

After getting home from our clothes pin hunt, we showered to wash off the day and get into our comfy pajamas. While snacking on grapes, strawberries and nuts, butterfly clothes pin makin' ensued...

Her newest pajamas--as said by Sophia, "I'm panda all over"  with a BIG smile

I could hear it in her voice how happy and excited she was to finally be making this butterfly =) She's just absolutely heartwarming and precious!! =D

This one is for her "daddy"--can you see the writing on the left wing? 

'Til the next time...

XXOO,
