I was contacted by a mom who purchased the Chase Bedding at Pottery Barn and wanted nautical themed wall letter. Her colors were strictly shades of blue and white.

Take a look how they came out! :)

Creative and Reuseable Baby Shower Gift Packaging

originally uploaded by ZeeBree.

With all the recent wall letters I have done, I was finally given the opportunity put them in a package for a baby shower gift. I purchased a small basket at a local arts and craft store (never leave home without a coupon), and carefully selected a basket that matched the baby's room decor. One of the worst things you could do, is to pick a random basket that doesn't match the room. Picking the right basket is very important. If it won't be used by the recipient, you might as well stick them in a cheap gift bag!

I added a small letter that was decoupaged with the same Peter Rabbit book and tied it into the bow. This is a very quick and easy solution to gift packaging and most of all, almost everything is re-usable. :)

Peter Rabbit Wooden Wall letters

A close friend of mine is expecting her first baby in a few weeks.  What do you get the woman that has everything?  Well, her nursery theme is Peter Rabbit, compete with the Pottery Barn Kids Peter Rabbit Nursery bedding.  From the moment  I saw her room, I knew exactly what I wanted to do for her baby shower.

I started off by finding a Peter Rabbit book on Ebay, that contained a lot of illustrations.  While it hurt me to rip apart this book, it was put to good use, and as you can see it was for a great cause. :)  I then decoupaged the pages to the letters, and applied coordinating paint to the edges to create a one-of-a-kind gift. 

Would you believe me if I told you that I have never seen my wall letters actually hanging on a wall? :)  Thank you to Riley's mom who sent me a picture of the finished product!

Nursery Wall letters- My latest projects

I was contacted by a fellow MA resident whom stumbled upon this blog and contacted me paint wall letters for her 2 children, Joseph and Alana.  We found a mutual meeting spot and she gave me a blanket from Alana's Penelope Nursery Bedding Set from Pottery Barn, and a sham from Joseph's JoJo Designs 9-Piece Baby Crib Bedding Set - Come Sail Away Nautical.   What a treat it was to have a visual  I could refer to while I was mixing my colors.

 The bedding set pictured, is the Penelope Nursery Set by Pottery Barn Kids

Here is the finished product! :)

Getting Clues from Baby registries- Nursery Decor- Wall letters

I get very excited when I have a new project, especially when I am attempting to do something I haven't done before. The person that contacted me was looking for a creative baby shower gift for her friend; rather than the run-of-the mill baby registry selection.  You know the feeling- you understand the purpose of those registries, but at the same time, feel torn that it has taken the fun out of buying a gift. Why not use the registry to gather clues about the baby room, colors, and interest.   Mom choose this Bubbles Bedding set by Lambs & Ivy, with all the accessories. What a cute ocean theme!  You guessed it, found on her registry! :)

 

I found out the color of the wall , and created MATTHEW's letters to match the decor.  Now that's a gift! :)

 

 Bundle it up in something that can useful to the mamma, like a wicker basket and you are good to go.  This also goes with a similar bedding called  Bubble Bedding Set by Kids Line at Kids R Us,  and SoHo Designs Deep Sea Aquarium Baby Crib Nursery Bedding Set, 10 Piece.

Thanks for reading! See you soon! :) 

Recycled Crayon Alphabet

Everyone is always looking for creative ways to teach their children how to learn their letters and ultimately read. Admit it, that classic ABC song has been in your head before, and is probably in your head .....right..... now. :) (sorry about that) Well, these recycled crayons are the perfect size for those little hands and even include a picture on the letters to help them remember.
A=Apple, B=Bird, C=Cat, etc.

I am a major lost fan, and this is the first name that came to mind. :) They are available online on my  etsy store, and after only a few short days, I have had a lot of interest.  Hopefully, you will be one of them!

Thanks for reading! :)
