More bows

I was making more bows tonight. I have been trying diffrent things and seeing how it works, trial an error. But I'm loving every bit of it. I have some new cute ribbon, I even found some that says "Bon Voyage" :P it made me so happy when I found it. I can spend hours at Micheals or Joanns looking at ribbion!!Im waiting for the alligator clips i ordered. That way i can make more HAIR bows. :P Right now i just have a stack of bows. Here are some pictures.

A group of bows i made.


Another set.


My First attempt of making a bow holder, with some of my bows.


I recieved my buisness cards in the mail, I was so excited to see them. This is a picture of what they look like. I ordered a few other designs as well. :D

Ordering Buisness cards

So i ordered business cards after i finally came up with the name BoW'n Voyage. I'm still waiting on them to get here, and i cant wait to see them. Today i have been on the website again, ordering all kinds of different things for the business, and its getting me really excited. I don't expect BoW'n Voyage to be a full blown business right away, but whats it hurt in having all those different things. I have gotten a shirt, and some letter head, return address labels, all kinds of neat things. I am really enjoying making bows, and preparing my self to have a business someday. Well that's all for now.

My first attempts at Bow making.

So after i decided to start making bows i took out my faithful glue gun, and some random ribbon i had laying around(I like crafts, there is always random bits of this and that around my house) and tried my hand at it. Here are some pictures of my first few attempts.

This is the very first bow i made


This is what i made my first night of trying.


First attempt at a Christmas Tree


So after my first tree i decided to try diffrent ways to make them, here are the three that i tried.


I saw these bows i decided to try my hand at making them, they turned out pretty good, just have to perfect them!




A few little flowers


For Christmas i decided to send my two Girl cousins Tree Bows, but i needed something to send to my boy cousin, he loves to read so i made a bookmark!


Im really enjoying trying to make diffrent ones, and seeing what works and what doesnt. :)

With much love,

The creation of BoW'n Voyage

My Husband deployed in June of 2009 for about 8 months, and while he has been gone i have struggled to find something to keep myself from over thinking things, and to relax. I have read countless books, tried scrap booking, i clean into all hours and still nothing could really occupy my hands and my mind. In November my Grandmother and I went to a Bazaar on base where i saw different people and the hair bows they were making, i bought a few and loved them. Not only were they perfect for my one year old who cant seem to keep normal clips in here hair, they worked great for me. After a few days i decided i wanted to try my hand at making them, and found that i could, and it took concentration, and that this was exactly what i was looking for to be my distraction. So i started making different ones, and i love doing it. Originally i set out just to make a couple bows for my daughters and myself. Then with the inspiration of a friend starting her own Photography busyness i decided that i could try my hand at selling the bows that i love to make. After a few hours of playing with words and different combinations or bow, hair, fun, etc i finally arrived at BoW'n Voyage, its silly, but i truly wish that everyone has an amazing journey through life, and you can always use a few accessories along the journey. I hope you enjoy.

While you are viewing the site and the photos i hope you find something that you like, if you do please email me to order.

With much love
