I've been searching online for a cute mobile to put in the lil' one's nursery.. but they tend to be pretty expensive and I couldn't find any cute airplane ones that would incorporate into our very warm and neutral nursery theme.

So as usual (sometimes I need just a little push) A said "why don't you just make your own?" So we did. It was a fun project and really got me excited about the arrival of our little one. Its also a cute way to bring Andrew into the room - as he is a pilot. I wanted to include airplanes in a way that would be cute and non-cheesy.

Supplies: White (65lb) Card-stock, White String, Wreath Frame, White & Beige Acrylic Paint, Double Sided Tape, Ceiling Hook.

Many people walk in my door and see three simple paintings that I created when A and I were first married. I usually get the question "Did you make those, or buy them?" Who would have known that a simple Martha Stewart stencil and some little canvas' would get so much attention.

Early in our marriage, when I was looking for decor items, I was encouraged by A to tap into my creative side and search out some money saving options. With one short trip to Micheals, I was on my way with a lovey and very simple project, that was also fun (for craft geeks like me anyways). Its pretty amazing how Martha can turn anyone into a pro overnight.
