A couple Contests

Madison's Room hair clip contest over at 5 minutes for Mom

Madison's Room is a Mom-owned business retailing handmade hair clips, bands & caps.

I just love the new style of hair clips for our little princesses! My Mom just found one of my old clips, you know, the kind with the beaded dangly ribbon & lots of lace...ah the 80s!!!

Thanks to Ribbon Rock Star who was kind enough to send her pdf instructions to my eager email! I have started making my own ribbon clusters. I am currently attempting a pink & brown set for hair clips. I didn't buy the clips yet, figured I'd get through the ribbon first! This could be an expensive & very addicting new hobby!

Also thanks to Ribbon Rock Star I found Overwhelmed with Joy who is having a book giveaway!
Two copies each of "Wait Until Then" and "Heaven for Kids". Both books were written by Randy Alcorn.

I do so love a good contest!!!
