Felt flowers...how do you wear them?

We had extended family pictures this last weekend. 

Was I ready: NOPE! 

I was especially stumped on flowers and headbands for my girls. 

I was just tired of the same old bows and flowers they wear. 

So I started searching around blogland for new ideas...

we all know it didn't  disappoint! 

Jamielyn over at I {heart} naptime always has amazing ideas!

And I totally fell in love with her felt flowers

OR 

maybe her darling little girl! 

Follow her super easy, pictures and all tutorial to get some for your darling little girls!

We were all wearing bright colors and I thought her shirt was just too boring! 

So, I grabbed some snaps and attached them to the shirt and the back of each flower. 

I love how it turned out! and super inexpensive too! 

I might be doing overkill, but I just love these! 

I attached them to the elastic headbands for adults. 

I usually wear them when I workout or am out in the yard to keep my hair out of my face. 

They fit her head perfect and the non slide sticky stuff on the inside keeps it in place.

p.s. totally noticed the water spots on B's shirt after I posted the pic's. haha

How would you wear them? Let me know what creative way you come up with to wear these darling flowers!

2.  Rust Oleum Heirloom White spray paint
3. 3 different Stampin' Up ink pads
4. Silhouette and vinyl
5. Canyon Black paint
6. foam brush
7. sanding block
8. saw toothed hanger 

•  I had my hubby cut two 19' long pieces.
• sanded them down
• painted the front and sides of board black
• while that was drying I went to my Silhouette machine and cut the vinyl saying, my kddos names and ages."Grandma's hold my tiny hands for a little while but our hearts forever"
• attached vinyl to sign.
• spray painted with my go to Rust-Oleum Heirloom White
• let dry for a few minutes and removed the vinyl
• sanded down the edges a bit
• let dry for a few hours

• attached a saw toothed hanger to the back for hanging.

100 workout...

I tried doing this today after Zumba. 

Yeah, right!!!

I did the 100 jumping jacks, with breaks every 25.

The 90 crunches I did with my large exercise ball.

Didn't even attempt the 80 squats.

But, did 80 leg lifts 

all on the ball

on my stomach 20 of each up

then on my side 20 of each leg. 

And then I was

 DONE

COOKED

BAKED

COULDN'T DO ANY MORE

Laid on the floor for like 15 minutes. 

I couldn't believe how insane it was!!

But I will keep at it every day after class! 

UNTIL

I can finish the entire thing!!!

I will go from this:

11/'10 Day after lil' B was born.

to this:

Dec '05 {b4 babies}
