Finishing Touches

Okay, now the room is done for reals. I had one picture I wanted to hang in the wall, but knew it would look odd if I didn't have anything else, so I spent the last few days coming up with more wall decor. My very talented friend Callie makes these great signs(and bows),but I wanted something with a little more dimension, so I got those little wooden letters to spell out Sammy on the wall and modge-podged some cute patterned paper on to them.

 Cute, but too bland on the tan wall. Then I got to thinking of the stripes Callie has been using on her boards, and I painted over the paper. Love it!

So then I re-discovered this quote that is in his baby book that I just love, and decided to frame it. So I painted an old frame, found some cute paper and a mat and voila!

So now everything is on the walls and I realized I completely ignored my airplane theme, but I still love it.

And this week it hit me how close the holidays are. I had a mini panic attack when I realized I had NOTHING planned yet. Not even a single gift idea. For some people that is not a huge problem, but Thad and I like to make the gifts we give to our siblings and parents and usually by now we've got it at least half done. Luckily, inspiration hit after some blog browsing, and we have a plan, and supplies, and the kids room are done so now I begin the Christmas projects.
