FABULOUS MOM FRIDAY: Sweet Bitty Bows {GIVEAWAY}

It's FABULOUS MOM FRIDAY again and this week's featured mama is Denise from Sweet Bitty Bows.

Denise makes some of the most unique hair clips I've ever seen.  Got a punk princess?  She'll look adorable in this sassy skull clippie!

If your little girl is more ladylike thank punk, this sequin-trimmed butterfly might be more her style:

This funny little owl would look super sweet on any little girl.

And when your daughter's next birthday rolls around, this sparkly hat clippie is perfect for a party!

Adorable, right?  I also love that not all of her clips are babyish.  This Burberry-inspired set would look so cute with a preppy little dress:

This fabulous felt flower is something I'd wear!

And for the little diva with a big flair for the dramatic, try one of these marabou Princess Puffs!

Sweet Bitty Bows has a great selection of holiday-themed clippies too.  I love this delicate snowflake:

The simplicity of this plaid flower would go with any holiday outfit.

And this snowman will warm up even the coldest day.

Sweet Bitty Bows' clips can be put on any of these three types of clips, making them perfect for newborns with barely any hair on up to little girls with a full head.

One more great thing about Sweet Bitty Bows is the price - almost all of the individual clippies are $5 or less!  And all orders of $25 or more get shipped for free. 

Wouldn't some Sweet Bitty Bows make the perfect stocking stuffers?  I think so too, which is why they're going on AFOMFT's Holiday Must Have List!  Click the graphic below to see more of our favorite gift ideas.

And here's an early present for you too!

Normally, I wouldn't be posting today but since I agreed to participate in NaBloPoMo, I can't skip a day so I just wanted to take a second to say thank you to everyone who reads AFOMFT.  I started this blog two and a half months ago as a labor of love and every time one of you comments on a post or sends me an e-mail about something you've seen here, it really makes my day. 

Thanks for reading AFOMFT and I hope you and your loved ones had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

CRAFTASTIC: Thanksgiving Toppers

I know you're probably spending today cooking or traveling or otherwise preparing for Thanksgiving tomorrow but just in case you have a few spare minutes on your hands, I have to share this fun and easy project.  Crafting Queen Cindy of Skip to my Lou has created some free turkey day toppers which will defintiely brighten up any table.  And they're super simple to make!

Just download the template and print.

Then punch them out (and if you don't have a punch, you can cut the circle shapes out instead).

Finally, glue them on to wood picks and presto!

Instant Thanksgiving decorations! 

Huge thanks to Cindy not only for this great craft but for all of the fun projects she posts.  Get the topper template and more details at Skip to my Lou.
