Nursery Art...

Pinterest is an amazing source for all things. I love going on the site, checking out other people's inspiration boards and coming up with my own ideas or adding little twists to pre-existing ideas. I wanted some art for the nursery that didn't need to be framed (more on that later). To be honest, I initially checked out Etsy; but I could not bring myself to pay the kind of $$$ they were asking for artwork that I could easily do myself, with supplies I already had at home. So with a quick trip to Michael's and a 40% of coupon, I bought myself some paint and created this little master piece...

Here it is cropped and zoomed in...

Materials...

1. Canvas (already had)

2. White paint (already had)

3. Paint brushes (already had)

4. Blue metallic paint $2 with coupon.

= easy peasy

And here it hangs on the wall...looks waaaaay better in person!

Thanks for stopping by... :)

Thankful Tuesdays and The First Day of October...

October 1st, October 1st, it is indeed October 1st....!

Why all the excitement, cueing of angels harking hallelujah, stringing harps, and the occasional firework? Well...October 1st means...

Baby B is 4 months old!!!
...Whoa, what...? Yes, FOUR months old! And I am so thankful that he is one healthy, happy, baby boy, who at this moment is behaving so that I can write this. Yippee!

Halloween is almost upon us!!!
Yes, I am so excited for Halloween. Baby's firsts guys! Plus I love pumpkin carving and going to the pumpkin patch, fall colors, falling leaves, crisp, clean air, shall I go on...This year I totally plan on going to an apple orchard and picking apples. Will be a great photo op for B and I found a yummy apple caramel bar recipe.

And, Well it's simply the first of the month!!!
I love it when the months change on the calender. Something perfectly awesome about the first of each month, a day that marks the fresh start of well everything!

So c'mon guys, what's not to love about October 1st?
