Spring is in the Air!

We had a burst of glorious spring weather on Sunday and spent the afternoon doing yard work while soaking up the sunshine and warm breezes. When we finally came inside, I headed to the craft room and made this spring-themed door hanger.

Child's Play

I got a chance to play in the craft room a bit over the weekend, and here's what I made:

A door hanger for Shannon's room, inspired by some I saw over on the Cosmo Cricket blog awhile back and the lyrics: "Won't you come over and play all day? Be my friend now, whaddya say?" from one of Shannon's favorite songs.

Dino-mite!

It is way past time for us to transition our 4-year-old son's room from a nursery to a big boy room. The Peter Rabbit pictures I painted on the walls and decoupaged on the room accessories before our daughter was born just aren't cutting it anymore. Nope, for this rambunctious-bursting-with-energy-man-child, we need dinosaurs and Jeeps, action and adventure, vibrant colors and LOTS of storage. We intended to revamp Ronan's room over the summer, but the porch project took over all of our home improvement time. At the moment, we are at a shingle standstill with the porch, so Ronan's room has come to the forefront of my mind again.

A fun door hanger is a small start, but at least it's a start. I've been hoarding these Archaic chipboard stickers from Basic Grey for way too long. Can't wait to make some more neat (and very boyish) things with these!
