Frugal Decor

One thing I hate to spend money on is decor for Madi's room. Kids are always growing and changing when it comes to the character they are into at the time and become more girly etc. So, what I love to do is copy her favorites from books, posters or find something online and print it off. I have a printer that I can do 8x10s on and you can also scan things at Walmart for a reasonable price. She loves it when I hang something up in her playroom from one of her books. She will run and get that book, turn it to the page I got the photo from and smile. It's also a good way to find paint color ideas for a playroom or bedroom.

This ballerina photo is my next project.



Such a great way to change things up a bit and not hurt your wallet.

The ballerina picture is adorable. My aunt painted something similar for me when I was a little girl and I still have it.

THE BLOGGERS PRAYER

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck,
manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly -
all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house
and take care of my family.
Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life.
And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.
