You're never fully dressed without a smile..and a hair bow! (Giveaway!)

From the last couple of posts, you may have noticed that I'm quite a big fan of DIY projects and all things crafty. If you follow me on Pinterest, you've probably noticed that I'm always pinning something new to try or recreate. 
About 2 years ago, I came across a tutorial that really sparked my interest, and eventually turned into a hobby for me. Any guess on what is was?

Hair bows.

That's right. Hair bows.

Once I made one, it wasn't long before I made 100. I was a hair bow maniac! And it was actually quite a strange hobby for me, seeing as how at the time I was a college student living in a sorority house and had no little girl of my own to make these hair bows for. Pretty random, right?!

Well, eventually I did turn around and sell these hair bows and turned my hobby into something a little more productive.

Being from the south, there seems to be an unwritten rule about hair bows. A little girls outfit just isn't complete unless she has a matching bow- and I couldn't agree more! As a child, my mother saw to it that I always had a hair bow in my hair, and I can only imagine that I'll be the same way!

So today I'd like to share my hobby and give away one hair bow to one lucky Settled Down in a College Town reader!

Hooray for our first giveaway!

The lucky winner will have their choice of one of the hair bows pictured below:
