Current Projects

My latest projects are keeping me so busy lately! I'm loving every minute of it though. 

Loralei, our 3 year old daughter keeps me hopping always.  My husband is away for the military at the moment and I'm missing him like crazy! He comes home Friday luckily and then does a few days of commuting back and forth.  Loralei is getting surgery in one week, getting her tonsils and adenoids taken out, plus getting ear tubes.  Scary, but I think it will be good for her.

I have been in the process of re-doing our bedroom, from brown/tan to purple.  I love it, and I'm hoping Craig will when he comes home.  I still haven't found some of the art/pictures that were supposed to go up on the walls, but cannot find them around my home at the moment.  So I have been searching the house.  My husband put them somewhere before he left and they are completely MIA.  Ugh!  I'm dying to get some decent new furniture, someday maybe we can afford to do that.

My other home projects is re-doing my daughter's room.  Awhile ago I did her room in a Tinkerbell theme, but she no longer likes Tinkerbell that much.  

BEFORE:

The pics with the windows were taken before we finished making the curtains to go in them so it only shows their valances.

And finally the project that I'm working on is Michelle's shower.  I have the invitations done and sent out, and I have been starting with the tree centerpieces, the bird banner, am still trying to contact my cake contact, have also started the gift baskets and have finished two of the games.

 On the right is the invitations that i used, found from www.expressionspaperie.com and the picture on the left are these cute little poems I wrote for a raffle we will be holding.  Whoever brings diapers and wipes gets a raffle ticket and wins a prize at the end.

 These are the directions I had printed of how to get to the hall we are holding the shower at, inserted into the envelopes

  This is the stencil I'm using to create the banner that will say "Congrats Michelle & Ryan!  Happy Baby Shower!"

These are the birds I made that people will guess the gender the baby will be since they are not finding out, the date that the baby will come and it's size.  Whoever is the closest will get flowers sent after the baby is born

On a poster board with the bird there will be a picture of both Ryan and Michelle up as a baby and we are putting together an album of the ultrasound pictures of the baby.
