Love Letters

Here's a look at our nursery- it's not done yet, but it's getting there!

This is a look at one of the projects I've been working on. It went like this:

Step 1: Plan it all out...


Step 2: Paint all the canvas...



Step 3: Rip out tiny pieces of magazines in the colors you like and then stick them on the canvas...


Step 4: Hang them in the room with command strips so you don't have a million tiny holes in your wall!


Step 5: Take a break and listen to Brent's favorite music- Heavy Level...



Step 6: Enjoy the finished project and set up the crib!





We are still waiting for our crib skirt to be delivered and I have a lot of organizing, rearranging and other details to do, but we're making progress! Today my sister came to visit and when E saw the room he said, "Wow! This baby has a long name!" Too cute! The truth is, I would have loved to have just done her name, but we still can't decide, so her name is in the alphabet somewhere!

Cute Wall Project! That is fun that Erik thought that was the baby's name. Yes, when there is a teacher in the household it is much more difficult to name a baby....then add the fact that Brent is related to a million people!
