Appreciation Photo & Email

From my new friend and customer Michelle here is a darling picture of her little girl. I truly love seeing pic's of darling little girls with my Jaidie Bug clips on. I hand make each of them with a little Jaidie Bug love dusted on each of them. I of course love putting them on my little girl, but to see them on other little girls just makes me smile from ear to ear. I am a stay at home with a mega creative side, so to be able to make these and love doing it makes it so fun. Thank you for all of your support, and be sure to send me a pic of your little girl wearing her Jaidie Bug.

Wintery Wonderland Mittens

These little mittens are about the size of quarters. I added little fluffy pearl cuffs and pearl snowflakes to the sparkly red. I thought they turned out adorable especially to wear with a little red or cream sweater. With these in her hair and her peppermint striped scarf I think she will love wearing these. Hope your Christmas shopping is going well, and you are thinking of unique gifts for your loved ones. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I love appreciation photo's!!!

Darling Maile is wearing the tulle and felt butterfly I make. She loves pink so I made it all hot pink, and to make it sparkle hot pink glitter. She is so stinking cute, and I would love for you to send me your stinkin cute photo's too. I would love to post them to Facebook or my blog just email them to me and title them as Appreciation Photo's. Lots of Love to you Jaidie Bugians.

12 x 12 Paper GiftBox

Do you have tons of 12 x 12 paper???I do... :P And if you do, use it to make a gift boxes. Share this idea with friends and family for an inexpensive and adorable gift box.














My good friend made this for me and I thought it was adorable. I've kept it and thought I'd share it with you. X-mas is expensive enough as it is, and then buying little containers to put goodies or anything in can make it even more expensive. So whip out your 12 x 12 paper and make one of these. My friend did a white piece of paper then cut 10, 4 inch squares, and then took 8, 4 inch squares and cut them in 1/2 to create the triangles. You will use your paper cutter just for the little groove to get scour your paper so it will bend at a straight line. Use a scourer or anything that will put a crease in your paper but not cut through it. Measure 4 inches in from edge, scour, 4 inches from there, scour, turn paper one turn and do again same thing again. You will create a + kind of pattern in the middle of your paper. Flip paper over to other side. Look at the 4 corners boxes. You will scour right through the middle of those 4 squares to create a triangle. Hole punch the corners and they will fold in towards the middle. Put ribbon through the hole punches to cinch the box together. Add shredded paper or tissue paper, and your goodies and you are set. I hope this helps you with little gift boxes to give for all kinds of holidays and birthdays. Questions just email me. jaidiebugboutique@yahoo.com
