So, my last summer project was to finish redoing the guest room - it used to have cutesy 80's wallpaper, which we had a heck of a time taking down a few weeks ago. Now it has a lovely new green wall color and new shades, and some other little patchwork details. I sewed the runner on the dresser and made the pillow in the center of the bed (the rest of the bedding looks deceivingly handmade - but it's actually from Bed, Bath, & Beyond - oops!). I'll share some close-ups of the details soon, but for now it's off to bed to prepare for a big weekend and week to come. I'm meeting up with a friend in Des Moines tomorrow and we're flying with L. to Denver then driving to Estes Park for another friend's wedding. I'm a little nervous about traveling with an infant, for sure, but even more nervous about starting back to work on Monday (even though I am so glad to be going back and am confident I am leaving him in very capable hands). Eek. Ok - have a great weekend all!
Here's my take on the latest Scrapjacked challenge - I wanted to include lots of photos from our trip to Colorado, so this worked perfectly.
And a layout for the Project Catwalk contest at SIS - a silly one about Lachlan's nicknames.
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. I had a chance to finish this layout about L's first big trip yesterday. Fun stuff. :)
Lachlan and I had a wonderful trip to CO for Meredith and Ed's wedding. The ceremony was in an outdoor chapel basically at the top of a mountain in Estes Park. Gorgeous weather & great company made it so much fun. He was a real trooper on his first big trip, too. Now we're back in Iowa and I've survived my first two days back to work (I'm sure it was harder for me than for him). Happy to be back at Preucil and lucky I have two great women who are coming to our house to take care of him. We also survived his 4 month shots today - he's doing great - 15 lbs!
