Projects



I've been on vacation, but we haven't left town. AND I've been able to send the kids to daycare on their usual days. This has allowed me to have time to get stuff done around the house that just takes time. I wish I could say that I spent a fair amount of time doing nothing, but I don't think I'm capable of that! With reorganizing one of the closets, I found some vinyl clings that I got from Uppercase Living a LONG time ago. I intended to do each project as the room I was going to put them in was done (ie, paint the upstairs bathroom before putting it up). Well, painting the upstairs bathroom isn't on my to-do list anytime soon, so I decided to spend some money at Michael's and get some frames.

I ended up buying a pre-matted collage frame and took the mat out. I then bought a piece of mat board and had it cut to size. For some reason I can't get the picture to rotate, but here it is! Just need to replace the brass towel bars! This is in the kids' bathroom. I wish Isaac could read--I wouldn't have to say "wash your hands" so often!

With Piper potty-training (!!), we decided to move the changing table out of her room. In its place is a great old dresser. I used another Uppercase Living decal on the front.
This bird is another decal. I bought a piece of scrapbook paper and put the decal on it and then put it in a frame. Unfortunately the picture doesn't do it justice. There's some sparkle on the paper; it's so pretty! This will sit on her dresser.
This decal was put on a piece of scrapbook paper and I bought an frame that's supposed to be used to display an old LP. I think it turned out great! This is my nightstand.
This project was a follow-up to one I did with the kids after Piper was born. In the top picture, Piper was 3 days old and Isaac was a few weeks shy of 3 years. We did the bottom picture a few days ago. Piper is 2 years and 2 months, and Isaac is 5. I love them!
This decal was put on Isaac's dresser.
Isaac got a couple of matted train pictures this week from our daycare provider. We picked up two picture frames and put them up in his room.
