Craftiness

I am not a crafty person...never really have been.


I have my creative moments where I am full of ideas but I've never been great at actually doing them. This past weekend I attended a conference with my sister and mom about becoming fugal, purposeful, and creative. I was inspired by one of the speakers that said "It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful". I think I haven't tried alot of things because I am always afraid of them not looking good. But that just makes it mine and gives it character :)


SOOO I have been wanting to try a few things.

I made my first ever diaper cake...Super easy!!!

Then I wanted to try to make my own diaper wreath for the hospital door. Special thanks to my wonderful hubby for helping me :)

This is the finished product. B could be for boy but I did B for Brison.


This is the B hung with It's a Boy ribbon.


This is a close up of the diapers tied with the same It's a Boy ribbon.

Brian helped me attach the information plate to the B.




Again...I know it's not perfect...but it is something that we made and that in itself makes it special. I can't wait to proudly display it on our hospital room door and then to hang it in his room.
