I found these letters 50% off at Hobby Lobby, and bought some new craft paint and brushes and was about to head home when I remembered
this post from a girl Brandon went to high school with. So I stopped by the scrapbook isle and picked some cute paper... (The brown paper has cute brown polka dots on it!!) I decided to use the scrapbook paper because it would be way faster than me painting all 10 letters by hand making them all cute! Then I traced the letters onto the paper, then used ModPodge and glued them on! SOOOO Easy!
I have some more 'knick knack' things to paint for above their cribs... but I am a profectionist when it comes to my crafts... and I haven't profected my design yet.... so nothing is up yet!
I LOVE it!!! I love their names on the wall! What a cute room!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job... by the way, for perspective, one of Cayley's favorite baby stories goes like this: she was on her changing table in her own designer nursery, diaper off, both feet held aloft by my left hand as I was sliding a clean diaper beneath her backside with my right hand. All of a sudden, she let loose the type of explosive BM that is so typical of exclusively-breast-fed babies (e.coli can't survive in their digestive tracts when all they consume is breast milk - this has a very distinctive effect on physiology, as you'll find out). The launch splattered all over the freshly-painted wall next to the table, which would not have been so bad had my pregnant girlfriend not been sitting beside it at that moment. It missed her by mere inches, and I will NEVER forget the look on her face. As for Cayley, she's exquisitely proud of the fact that she managed to crap all over the wall, and she wishes she could actually remember it. You, too, will undoubtedly experience massive reality moments along these lines in your immaculate new nursery, because that's what babies really are: little larval bundles of hyper-reality.
