hotel california

I'm in Orange County. Even though it's almost 10:00 at home, I must force myself to stay awake long enough to try to switch time zones. What better way than to surf the 'net? The problem is, now I'm all inspired to be craftsy and I can't be. There are no craft supplies in this hotel. Seriously. Not a glue gun to be found... Good news? I'm finding new uses for the fantastic scrapbooking paper that I have been salivating over (not including scrapbooking). That, and there are bound to be homemade Christmas gifts this year. Excited, aren't you?

Are you wallpapering the hotel with the scrapbooking paper? They might charge extra for that, you know.

You'd think with me being on bed rest that I'd be busting out the scrapping stuff but I'm not. No motivation. And that makes me sad.

Scrapbook away for me!!!!

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
