Little Touches

A week or so ago I was browsing through the Pottery Barn Kids website. They had some really cute things marked way down on clearance. I ended up buying two of these. They are supposed to be used for a child's baseball theme birthday party, but I thought they would look cute hung in Morgan's room since he has a sports theme going on. This morning he helped me pick up his room and we hung it up on the wall above his crib: (sorry it is so dark, I must not have had my flash on)
















I only hung one for now, but might use the other for something else. The colors matched his room perfectly.


I fell in love with these monogram wreaths I saw a few weeks ago. I searched high and low to try and find something similar, then decided to do my own twist on it. Every year my mother buys me a beautiful wreath from their local high school fundraiser, so I bought one of those cheap wooden craft letters at Walmart, spread glue over the top only, sprinkled on a thick coat of glitter, sprayed it with sealer so it wouldn't spread glitter all over the place, and hung it in the middle of my wreath.




















Super easy!

So I didn't get anything important done today, just wrapping presents and toodling around the house. I love days like this.

Love the wreath. It's so cute with the D. Those pennants are adorable. That would help Porter's room immensely! I can't believe you are wrapping presents already. How fun.

LOVE the wreath...might have to steal your idea (now that would actually require me to stop blog stalking everyone in the know universe and get off my rear). but Drays is napping and Caleb is at a playdate...so it is hard to resist.
