I have been working on projects, and I have been taking pictures...but I'm thinking I may hold off on posting them because they are things I am working on for Baby's birthday. Yes, I am that crazy, possibly going way to overboard Momma who has already been planning his first birthday since almost two months ago. But he only turns one once right? I've got a notebook full of lists and stuff I'm trying to plan...it seriously feels like wedding status. But I am totally not one bit ashamed, I'm so excited! And I think I want to keep it (the theme and decor) kind of a suprise. Not like it's anything amazingly grand (or maybe it is....) but I just don't want to spoil anything! So I'm working on several DIY stuff and I'll definately post eventually.
In the meantime, I did find this at Salvation Army for a mere $5 and change. I plan to take out the canvas painting and paint the frame, probably white, and it'll probably end up in our bedroom. Not sure what I'll put inside the frame, several ideas have crossed my mind though. Thought of leaving it just empty and putting it above our bed, thought about some fabric or something, also thought about filling it with a piece of chalkboard painted wood. I'm leaning towards chalkboard right now. But if I don't (or even if I do), I'm on the look out to do a framed chalkboard for Baby's room too. Something at his level that he'll be able to draw on when he gets bigger.

I Love the chalkboard idea!
Super creative!
I've been seeing more of those, putting them up by kids and letting them draw all over! I've seen like... chalkboard wallpaper or something, so that kids can actually draw on the walls. neat.
and uh, I totally feel ya about the keeping the decor a secret! That's all the fun stuff, and you want everyone to feel all surprised and enjoy it when they see it for the first time, rather than coming knowing what to expect!
