How I Became Shared Jelly

When my husband and I first got married we used to get messages on our answering machine for "Shared" and "Jelly" instead of Jared and Shelly. The first time we chuckled a little over it and by the fourth or fifth time, we decided the name should stick somewhere. And so, I've been sharing jelly all over the internet since. Enjoy!

Repurposing Clips

I don't know about you, but I always have a random array of clips and bobby pins all over in my drawers in my bathroom.  Mine are all boring and generic - I hardly ever use them.  I decided to spruce them up instead of leaving the clutter.  I attached them to wax paper so that when I hot glued stuff onto them they wouldn't get stuck together permanently. 


Then I started making some fun stuff to attach. I stuck to colors I know I will wear (mostly neutrals) and tried to make them age appropriate.   Here is what I came up with:


I like that these clips lay flatter than the alligator clips I use to make my girls bows.  Every once in a while I steal borrow my little girls bows, so I figured it was about time I had some of my own.
