I enjoy visiting
Biblical Womanhood every day. It is often that I leave there feeling encouraged, edified, and even sometimes get my toes stepped on in areas where I could improve.
Well, every week they have "Frugal Fridays" where you can post a money saving tip that you think would be of interest to others. Well the "tip" I am posting today, has saved me lots of money and is enjoyable to boot! So without further adieu...
Here is my first "Frugal Fridays" submission. I just had to share the website I found not too long ago that has free instructions to make beautiful boutique-quality custom-made hair bows. Bows that elsewhere go from $10-$15 online, you can make yourself to coordinate with outfits for a buck or two.
I'd also encourage you to use the opportunity to get to know other mothers better. I have met with other mothers several times now to make the bows and exchange ribbons and barrettes, and really enjoy the time with them(and my daughter enjoys playing with their children too). Be careful though, bow making can be addictive!
Please visit
Girly Things for the free instructions on multiple bow styles, bow holders, beaded bobby pins, and even a free tutu pattern(Yay! Guess what I'm making our daughter for her upcoming birthday) that you can construct yourself for under $5.00!
Here are some examples of bows I've made so far...
Here's some more...I told you it was addictive!!! Tee Hee!!
Don't forget to visit Biblical Womanhood for more Frugal Friday tips!
Thanks for looking!

...and now I just love Hotgrafix!! You just have to check out their website. They make beautiful signatures and blinkies for no charge (donation optional). There are all sorts of designers, so if you want to check it out and see whose style you like, you can. Then you just put in your request for one and what you would like to have written on it and what pictures you'd like to have included, and before you know it, it's done. They can even be animated!
