For years before I was pregnant, I dreamed of having a little girl. I imagined shopping for little smocked dresses, and painting her nails, and clipping pretty bows in her hair. Be careful what you wish for.
Charlotte is the girliest girl I could ever imagine. She refuses to wear anything but princess dresses. She gets frustrated if her hair isn't styled correctly. She spends hours talking on her "cell phone" and stuffing important items (dolls, granola bars) into her tiny handbag. I love it, but having that kind of girlie-girl also comes with a lot of stuff. She has so many barrettes, dresses, jewelry, and shoes that I wasn't sure at first how to keep it all organized.
I recently began creating an area in her room where she can keep all of her girlie things organized. It isn't complete yet, but here's where we are so far.
She has a few hooks for her dresses and tutus, a mirror to admire herself, and -- my favorite feature -- a Tuck-It Board made for Charlotte by my friend Tracey.
Tracey makes Tuck-It Boards for lots of uses. They can hold photos in a boy's or girl's room, barrettes or jewelry in a girl's room, sweet notes and cards in a nursery, memos in an office, or bills or paperwork in the kitchen. They would also make a terrific shower or birthday gift! Here are some of my favorites:
And here's the best news....Tracey has offered to give a Tuck-It Board to one lucky Tulip and Turnip reader! Here's the one-of-a-kind creation:
And here's Tracey's description:
It's an 11X14 inch Tuck-it board called "Red Blossoms". The width ribbon is brown with green dots.
Keep all of your memorabilia safe by tucking it under the ribbon. Great for organizing or displaying all of your favorite photographs, movie/concert/sporting tickets, cards, notes etc. All boards are one-of-a-kind and hand made by Tracey J Dean.
Tuck-it boards are created on stretched canvas with high quality scrapbooking paper, ribbon and decorative brads. Width of canvas board is covered with ribbon to compliment the composition.
The Tuck-it board easily hangs on a wall; it's perfect for any room in the house.

Very cute boards :) I have a daughter who has quite a collection of hairbows so this would be a fun way to help keep the maddness under control!
ReplyDeleteiloveblogcontests@gmail.com
I love the Tuck It boards!!! I especially love the Ainsley board. I showed it to my Ainsley and she was so excited. Kiersten is now requesting on named after her!!!
ReplyDeleteI am all set up for the contest.....crossing my fingers!
Oops...I forgot to say how I would use the board. I would put up my girls barrettes and a picture. I think it would be fun to let them change the photographs each week!
ReplyDeletekellymetz@aol.com
Follower of you and Tracey and posted it on my facebook page!
So cute...it would look great in my bedroom where I would like to somehow use it to put my jewelry, especially my necklaces on!
ReplyDeleteReally cute boards! If this one is a girl, I will definitely use it just like you have for Charlotte!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower and a new fan on Facebook too :)
ReplyDeleteI think I would use it to display all the 2"x3" school photos of my nephews and my neice! They're too little to put in picture frames, but too adorable not to show off.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of a tuck board for hairbows! With two little girls, bows are EVERYWHERE!
ReplyDeleteLove these tuck boards; even if I don't win one; I will be ordering one really soon! I would use the board above Ellie's art desk in her room, so she can hang all of her creations :) Love it and I love your blog it is the only one I read :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteI'd use it to decorate my boring white walls and as part of an inspiration board :)

I just recently started to organize more things in our home, and this would be lovely. We have plaster walls so we hang most things by a "picture rail" (molding near the ceiling) and we could put all our important lists there... especially the grocery list.
ReplyDeleteI would use this awesome board to display my photos, postcards, and other ephemera that I pick up!

I finally figured out how to "follow" your blog Amy. I love reading your posts. And the tuck board is adorable. I could think of a million things to use it for, but most likely right now I'd put it in my baby girl's room to hold all of her baby mementos and pictures.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the tuck it board. If I was lucky enough to have such a work of heart in my home I'd place it in my kitchen- the heart of my home, to help me keep my two kids and our busy life organized. It would be the perfect addition and an honor.
ReplyDeleteAwesome boards! My little one walks around the house finding pictures and things that she wants or likes in magazines and we set goals for her to earn them. S o I would make this her reward board.
ReplyDeleteI would use it for hair clippies!
