A missing prince


I came in from work today and started making my way up the stairs to our apartment. I had to do a double take because on the wooden ledge leading up the stairway...THERE WAS A FROG!!!

I'm not talking toad people, I mean FROG and it wasn't small and cute (well I guess they aren't that cute) like the smaller (average around here) toads. It looked like the one above.

I had to go inside and get a glove to pick it up and move it outside. I took Mason (the dog) out while I was doing that and he was in all his glory! It did the weirdest thing when I went to pick it up though...it moved it's front paws (or webbed feet, I guess) over the top of it's head/eyes. It was so weird!!! I have never seen anything like it!

That was pretty much the excitement in my day! I have a really fun project that I'm working on, but I'm afraid I cannot share as they are going to be Christmas gifts. I can't wait until after the holiday so I can share!!! They are turning out great!

Decorating frenzy!

I don't know why, but as of late I have been in a decorating frenzy! It's nuts, I feel like I'm nesting or something?!

I made a cute set of pictures to hang up in our room today. I am so addicted to scrapbooking supplies and using them for other things.

This is a 'starry night' poster, framed right about our bed. That was put up last week. See that headboard there? I am thinking about upholstering it. It would add something more to the room and give us padding to lean up against. I'm just not sure what kind of fabric I'd want to use. Do I use a solid but textured fabric? Do I use a cool paisley or damask design? I just don't know, and there are so many options it's just so hard! Do you all have any suggestions?

Here is my project from today...
I used 3 different patterns of scrapbooking paper and tied them together by using a strip of the other on eachothers page. I think they turned out cute!
I used some of the rub off design on this and cut out our initials...see what I mean by I wish I could just use our monogram?!
We wanted to pick out pictures of us that showed our personalities with eachother.
The finished product! I realize it looks crooked in the picture, but it was just angle I was taking it from (sitting on the bed!). So, what do you think?!
