Designing Woman (only not so much!)






This picture is a bit on the dark side, but I'm sure you all get the idea

Okay, so I wouldn't by any means call myself a great decorator. My original major in college was going to be interior design, but after going to about 10 minutes worth of orientation for that major I decided that it wasn't exactly my cup o' tea. Since Addy's birthday (over 3 months ago by now!) I'd been wanting to use some of her party decorations to hang up in her room. I made a wall for her party that had pictures of her from birth to 12 months. I also decorated the wall with some pre-cut paper flowers that I put together. I decided that the flowers would look nice hanging from the ceiling, so that's what I did. The first time Addy saw them she said, "Wow, wow..." over and over again so I got her seal of approval. I took the pictures and hung them on a fabric covered bulletin board, which I was originally going to make myself but decided to buy instead. Lest anyone think that I made that cute book pictured above, I did not. It was made by my cute sister-in-law Kelly for Addy as a Christmas gift. It is the cutest thing ever! She took a board book and covered it in all kinds of cute paper and personalized it by putting pictures of Addy inside. The craftiness of some people never ceases to amaze me!
