DIY ABC Art Work for Nursery

 Happy freestyle Friday! I am so excited about todays craft idea because it has to deal with welcoming a new baby.  I love babies! How they smell, their tiny feet and hands and oh how peaceful they look when sleeping.  Well, I am helping a friend welcome her little girl in the world.  I wanted to create something for the nursery.  I spotted a DIY project by fellow blogger Le Zoe Musings. You’ve gotta to check out her little girls nursery.  It puts my bedroom to shame! Her instructions which I have below are easy to follow(see my version below). I just modified a bit, I used a Dollar Tree picture frame which I painted white. I also scored sticky letters from Michaels for $1.25 on sale. And to highlight the baby’s name I painted my letters with acrylic paint. What do you think?

Ok. So I know this word has been redundant in my blog but this project really is SIMPLE! Every nursery needs an ABC artwork so why not integrate your baby’s name into it and make it personalized?

It started with a black frame that I got from Ikea’s AS IS section. I had no use for it but b/c it was dirt cheap, I figured I would use it ‘someday.’ Surely enough, I did and it serves its purpose fairly well!

I had to paint the frames stark white b/c nothing in Zoey’s room is black.

Got these white glitter (subtle) letters from Michaels. They always have 40% off coupons on their website so print them out and utilize them.

From my scrapbook stock paper collection, I chose a pale pink as the background and a patterned blue as the letters for Zoey’s name.

A quick glance at the color combo of the artwork and I approved!

Lay the letters out onto the frame so you can have an idea of how it’ll look.

For Zoey’s name, I traced the letters of her name onto the blue card stock and cut them out.

Have fun doing this for your little one. However, zif your child is old enough to spell his/her name this would be a fun project to do with them. Creative bonding time!

The Duggar Family: "Children are a blessing from the Lord." Ps. 127

Well no surprise, the Duggar family is at it again! Jim Bob and his wife Michelle are expecting baby number 20, Yes, I said number 20 in April.  And I say, “Goody for them!” Why not? Mrs. Duggar apparently loves children.  I find no wrong doing here.  However, some people do. I am not sure why.  Jim Bob works, matter of fact he is a former state legislator.  The children seem well-adjusted.  From what I have seen on television, they are well-mannered, well-educated and well-rounded.  The Father, Jim Bob appears very involved.  The Mother, Michelle always has a smile on her face, enjoys the large family and has a good handle on what would probably test “my Jesus.” Matter of fact, Michelle’s sister has confirmed her sister always wanted a BIG family. 

What I cannot understand are the people who are highly annoyed, outraged and even questioning why this women would get pregnant again at 45 years of age.  Well, let me set the record straight.  Mrs. Duggar is married, her husband doesn’t seem to have a problem with his rather large family.  They are not on any government assistance, at least that I know of.  The Duggars claim they are a Christian family, why shouldn’t God’s children populate the world?  Malachi 2:15 reads, “Didn’t the Lord make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are His.  And what does He want? Godly children from your union… There it is in plain writing.  God puts a man and woman together for Godly children.  See there is no set number.  Whether it is one or 21, God just wants to make sure you continue the heritage of Godly upbringing. 

So as the Duggars prepare for baby number 20, I say congratulations!  It is the Duggar tradition to have all the children’s name start with the letter “J” may I offer this suggestion: a girl: Joelle and a boy: Joel.

In case you were wondering here is a rundown of the Duggar Brood: (source TLC/Wikipedia)
