always something

like i don't have enough to do, i have to concern myself with making a little thingy for the office chair to roll around on. i mean really, there are kids starving in ethiopia and i'm worried about the cheesy plastic carpet protector making the office look like a work cubicle. my husband thinks i'm crazy.
anyhow, the supplies to make it were cheaper than the cheesy plastic thing so we took it back, and in the end i was happy that i was able to kill two birds with one stone- style and thrift.
now if i could be just as concerned about the mess of chords behind the desk.

how to:
thick 3X4 plywood from lowe's painted black, 12X12 paper from hobby lobby, and a couple coats of mod podge

next up, cute little name board to go over mia's crib. hobby lobby all the way around. pre-cut letters and boards, scrapbook paper on some then painted and stained the rest, and finished it off with a coat of mod podge (my new best friend)

she has yet to spend a night in her room. right now she's sleeping in a port-a-crib in our closet. i guess my logic is that i don't have to go up and down the stairs all the time with naps and getting up at night and such, but i'm thinking it's about time for the transition.
