Summer Flip Floppin Fun!

Last week I had a first birthday party to attend for a friend's daughter. Of course she asked for bows- and I was happy to oblige, but I wanted to add a little something different to her gift. I was in Old Navy the other week and noticed these great flip flops for toddlers and babies with the straps on the back. So I picked up two pairs( you can get 2 pairs for $5) thinking that I would embellish them for Maggie- when it dawned on me that I should make a pair for Hadley as well. This pair pictured is for my daughter- it matches the suits that Gigi bought her for Easter- but Hadley's pair were great too. I used korkers in the center of Hadley's and they were over the top! So much fun. Turns out Melanie (Hadley's mom) liked them so much she ordered a pair for a friends b-day party she is attending in Vegas. We are headed on a family vacay next week so I am making a pair for my friend's daughter- we are traveling with them- and I can't wait to get started. Old Navy had the perfect green and dark pink cherry flip flops and Dahlia's swimsuit has an adorable cherry print, I have only done a stripped bling pattern, but I think I want to try to make hers a cherry print. I am not sure how I am going to do this yet- but it is an new creative challenge. Off to finish playing with ribbon and sparkles- man I have such a tough life!! (just kidding)
