**new item alert!**

and i'm happy to announce that TyBro Treasures is adding another new item! i haven't even posted it to the official website yet! now available: personalized hair band boxes in a variety of shapes and sizes (mini round, square, mini square, flower, star, and hexagon).

here are the latest:






half-sized growth chart

this client requested a growth chart but had a very specific place where it would fit on the wall in her son's room. originally she had a cloth growth chart hanging there and "someone" took a sharpie marker to it to measure his own height! looking for a more durable replacement, she came to me! this chart is still 48" in height but only 7.5" across. other TyBro growth charts are 12" across. this "half-sized" chart is now available upon request.



more hair bow holders!

shh- this one is a gift for a very special (almost) 2 year old...say it ain't so! i hope she likes it - along with the very cool handmade/handstitched personalize hair clip compliments of my friend, shannon with peanut crafts!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i was happy to make this one for a good friend that i haven't seen in WAY too long. in fact, the last time i saw sweet ryleigh she was just a few weeks old! we can't wait to catch up with these old friends this fall - and see ryleigh's hair bow holder on her wall!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


and this request was for something a little different. this fun mom needed an organization solution not only for hair bows but for all of her daughter's itty-bitty hairbands that end up all over the place. oh yeah, and something for the headbands, too...

so we came up with a solution - i attached two mini boxes to the hair bow holder and - voila! - two places to help catch all those wandering hairbands. not shown in this picture are the ribbons for the hair bows and the double hook that we placed in between the two boxes to help gather up the headbands. phew! but what a great idea!



(note: add-ons to the hair bow holders are an additional cost)

gifts for graduating seniors

i'm always up for a new "idea" or challenge! this one came from a neighbor who cut a news article out for one of her daughter's friends. she wanted to do something special with the article - which is where i came in! the article itself speaks volumes about this graduating senior as she prepares to go to Northeastern University so my task was easy. congratulations, alexis!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the request for this frame was for another graduating senior. i love this quote - so appropriate for anyone college-bound and/or taking the next "step" in life.

I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles,
To the highest of your hopes,
To the windows of your opportunities,
And to the most special places your heart has ever known.

made for another graduating senior!

i was particularly fired up to make the frame below - designed to be another gift for a graduating senior on her way to FIU to play softball!

this request was not for a graduating senior but a "very girly" 2 year old! hope this is girly enough for her!

and this one is for a brand new baby girl, kylee. welcome to the world, sassy little one!
