Baby, Baby, Baby!!

No... I am not singing a Justin Beiber song... well maybe a little bit now... Anyhoo! My big kitchen reveal needs a couple more days- still need to take after pics but my whole weekend was hijacked by this rediculous TX wind and it blowing our fence down! yikes!

So the Hubs and I tackled it on our own to try to save a dime (big shocker there) and it actually went pretty well all things considered.  And by all things, I mean the toddlers who were our lead foremen.

But hey- some digging, some cement, three new pretty posts and a bunch of screws and we were back in business... by Sunday afternoon... sigh.. oh well- had to be done!

If you want a rebuilding a fence tutorial let me know....;)

So- pretty new/old fence= no bloggy, bloggy.

And to push back the kitchen even further are the multiple additions coming into our lives lately!

Lots of new babies this spring- some for old friends, some new, and a little pink bundle coming to my Sis at the end of the summer!

I wanted to make them some cute little wall plaques with the baby's initials on them- so I asked what the nursery's themes were and just kind of walked completely randomly  with purpose around several one craft store.

Now I would love to tell you that these ideas come to me and then I execute them perfectly- just like the drawn out architectural plans I have for them... but they don't.  I used their themes and then just went off the cuff!

A few sheets of cute paper- a cute owl on a gift bag- a couple wood cut outs- and a three pack of 8x10 canvases- throw in some Mod Podge and feast your eyes on these!

Baby #1- Nursery Theme- Alligators and Golf- how cute is that?!  I know that this nursery if Full of color so I tried to layer several fun craft papers and give it some texture- and then the Alligator will be what I hot glue ribbon on to hang it from.  All just laid out and Mod Podged!

Baby #2- Animals- and I threw in some camo paper because I know the Daddy loves him some hunting! and the baby owl was so cute on it's own that I didn't want to make it too busy for their room.  But looking at it again I think I might find a friend for him...

Baby #3- Dr. Seuss/ Baby Girl-  For my newest niece I wanted to use one of my favorite Seuss quotes- Oh the Places You Will Go- also because her father is in the military I found it fitting with them having to relocate-  So I used some map paper and mod podged it onto the letter C (initial of her first name) and painted a very casual Chevron print in a color I hope will coordinate with her bedding-  Added some cute ribbon and the little pink paw prints (they are big dog lovers) and voila!

I hope they like them! If not... well I am sure they have some closet wall space or circular storage to put them in:)

Good night to All and pray that our fence holds up- the winds are howling again!!
