Sept 9, 2009 - CRIB is here! Mama was inspired to finally finished decorating the nursery, and it is finished!
Those of you that know me, know I am a planner and organizer. Not having her nursery ready just about did me in, but, I learned valuable lessons. Don't pray for patience unless you want an opportunity to practice it, AND, a baby does not have to have a decked out nursery to be healthy, happy, and safe.
And yes, I know it looks like Rainbow Brite threw up in this room, but I promised to not subject my child to a room full of pink (due to a pepto bismol pink room I had in junior high - I still have night mares) I figure she has a life time of wearing pink and having pink stuff, so her room didn't have to be! Hope you like the pics - and keep in mind - I have zero decorating savvy, so I may have overdone it.
