I have this container that I use to store some stuff (nursing pads and stuff), and it's just a very boring clear plastic container. So I thought I'd (erm, try to) spruce it up. So I bought stuff for that, and then I got sucked into the wood frame and miscellaneous wood things aisle. I ended up buying a big frame and a lion puzzle thing that you can paint and stage around stuff. I'm hoping to make the lion sort of peek over the wood frame... and the frame will be decorated and inside will be a collage of pictures of Noah. I'm hoping to have it done for his first birthday (which is next month!). And I'm hoping, hoping, hoping it doesn't turn out like crap. Because I am not very crafty or talented, so this is all kind of a long shot.... but dangit, I wanted to try.
Tonight I pieced together the scrapbook paper to cover my storage thing in. It's all covered and looking much cuter, but man, I'm terrible at making it look seamless. I have pictures of what I've done so far, but it's not done yet, so I won't post anything. I'm hoping to finish it tomorrow and then try and get a post up, so you can all laugh at my feeble attempt at being crafty. I told Zach that if we had money, I'd totally go crazy and buy a ton of stuff at Hobby Lobby. Then I'd get home and look at everything and have no idea what to do with it. It would probably sit in a corner and be purposefully ignored for a while.
So... that's all, really. I still have Mod Podge on my fingers. Must go wash them more.
Oh, and my baby turned 11 months this past Tuesday. What? I've been totally failing on getting a good picture of him for "x-months old." Mom fails. But here you go.
