Second (and the main reason) is because I know I will get mixed reactions from my friends. There will be those of you who are crafty who will be so proud of my attempts (thank you Jawan for making me do this). Then, there are my working mom friends who will say, "how nice!," but not in a nice tone because I have so much time on my hands these days (or so I am supposed to anyway). Finally, there are those friends of mine who will say it's great, but they would never try it.
To all my friends... I did the craft, and I am finally proud enough to post it! I was inspired by others, and Abigail's room needed a pick-me-up, so here is my attempt to be crafty:
First, I was inspired by Grace Violet (my favorite blog to read) to try decoupage. Although it isn't close to being perfect, I made small initials for Abigail's wall. (Maybe when I named her, I should have realized "amp" meant she would have power and energy)!
I also made this fabric box following the instructions from a new blog I like (One Crafty Mama). It is the perfect place to store Abigail's headbands and makes a cute accessory in her room.
So, there you have it. My attempt to be a crafty mom. We'll have to wait and see if I ever do it again!

Those are adorable (insert tone of excitement here)!!!!!
How cute!! (From a working mom with no free time!) Just kidding... I think that are very cute. I might steal the initials idea for Mary Grace and Bethany's room. :o)
Crafty people boggle my mind. I think it looks great! (Coming from a working student, non-mother, non-crafty person who has always been floored at your artsy abilities!)
