Well, at least the paint is finished!! The nursery is done!! Now all that's left is to hang the curtains and the ceiling fan, move in the bed, and move the dresser from the closet. I am so excited!! I'm not quite ready to share pictures just yet. I actually have the star to attach and then my masterpiece will be complete!!!
Speaking of that star, it has been my biggest headache over the last few weeks -- trying to figure out how to do the star and the end zones. I found some print out stencils online that were perfect, so that was taken care of, but it was that silly star!! There was a Cowboys magnet at the mall that I thought was $6 and I thought I could trace it and then paint it in. But, when I went to pick it up, it was actually $13!! Not paying that for a large magnet that I have nothing to do with except put on my fridge after I'm done!!
Then, my genius friend, Krissy, said, 'Hey! What about those stars that you see at places like the prom where they hang them from the ceiling?' I went straight to Card & Party Factory and there were the stars -- in about 8 different colors and about 6 different sizes!! So, I bought a large blue star, a smaller white star, and an even smaller blue star. I stacked them on top of each other and it looks just like the Cowboys star!! And, I didn't have to paint anything!!!
Anyway, I am so very excited that it is complete. I'll be sharing pictures within the week. I just want to get the curtains hung first.
Also, here's a little something that Aaron found that I absolutely love and I thought I would share it with all of you!!!
You HAVE to check it out!! You can check off the things you need and it prints out a list of just those things and it's all categorized!! And, if you need something that isn't on the list, you just add it yourself. I checked off everything and printed it out to hang on the fridge. I have a highlighter near by and when we run out of something, we just highlight whatever it is that we need. Today I went to Wal-Mart with my list and was checking out in 30 minutes!! Now, it wasn't monthly grocery shopping or anything, but I loved having my list all highlighted!! I think it just makes my life easier!!

Can't wait to see the pics! I know it's going to look great!
Isn't life just easier when you're organized (coming from a C)?
You are the most amazing woman. I mean it! You literally amaze me. I never would have in a million years thought of let alone actually carried out what you did. I just love your creativity.
