Happy Mother's Day!

     I've been told that today is my first Mother's Day since I am a Mommy-To-Be.  I honestly didn't expect to get so many cards from family and friends so it was extra special to be thought of on this day!  It's been a great weekend and my Dad and I have been hard at work in the nursery.  Everything is done and ready to go except for the three dimensional wooden flowers and butterflies that will be added after they are painted and installed by Lisa.  Take a look at the latest photos of Baby Abigail's nursery... it's beautiful! 

Abigail's name above her crib.  I painted the letters and hung them up with mini clothespins to give it a look of a clothesline.  

A letter up close with the mini clothespins.  Aren't they so dainty?!

I decided to get the matching panels for the valance.  It gives it a more finished look!

Dad's idea to use the butterflies I painted as tie back hooks for the curtains. 

Pictures above the dresser.

Up close shot of the ribbon holding the pictures in place.  Dad's addition... the mini clothespins again.  I love them! :)

Liz, Hope you had a good Mother's Day, you are certainly among the "ranks" now, and every Mother's Day hereafter. The nursery looks adorable, very cozy. Your creativity is really shining through with every new touch. It's not surprising that you're a very creative teacher too. Stay well. Love, The Branca's
