A happy room!

Its been awhile.  I have been swamped with endless amounts of craft ideas.  I am finally finishing Masons room and re-decorating Madeline's room.  They have been a project, because I wanted to make and design some of the things I put in them.  I hope that when my children get older-they look back and tell me how much they enjoyed me customizing and hand-making their birthday cakes, rooms, etc.  I love doing it, but I love doing it for them even more.  We finished up Mason's today and the joy and happiness on his face was priceless!  I am not quite done with Maddy's...but close.  Her room will be the next blog and in my opinion---it's cccuuuuuuttteee!!!  Can't wait to blog about it!

I'm very excited to show Masons room.  He is into Toy Story, Thomas and baseball, so I wanted to incorporate all.

I have always loved this quote!  Mason received this louisville slugger bat from Cleveland (and Jess!) when he was just a baby.  It has his name on it. We have had it in storage from moving 3 times and I was happy to get it out of its box and onto his wall.  That little hat is Mason's from when he was a baby.  (it's tiny!)  This saying is a vinyl decal and I just bought some thin plywood-painted it and applied the vinyl!   I love how it all came together.  I'm sure it will be in his room as he is growing up and hopefully this quote can give him inspiration when life sends him troubles.  :)

I guess I haven't finished his room completely.  I still have hopes of taking pictures of Mason and Mads with some superhero gear on.  This quote fit him perfectly, he loves his superheroes, but he also loves playing superheroes with Maddy.   My parents brought a happy birthday balloons for the  M's yesterday.  1 superman and 1 tinkerbell.  Guess which one Maddy wanted.  hmmmm....

One of my favorites.  I loved making this for him!  He loves that his family is on the wall!

Another favorite!  Ok, so they ALL are my favorites...but I do love this project!   We went to "A day out with Thomas" last June.  I already had this shadow box, I kept his ticket and his jr. conductor award. (he he) and that blurry spot is a picture of him from that day.  I also included (and so far he hasn't asked for it!) his very first Thomas toy.

I LOVE this!  If Maddy wouldn't have her name already 3x in her room-she would have a set as well!  These are yarn covered letters!  Beware:  It's really not as easy as it looks.  If you look at them up close, it's kinda a sad sight, but nonetheless, adorable (and different!)

So here is the finish product pictures!  I really did this pretty inexpensive.  Curtains and rug were from Maddy's room makeover-matched perfectly!  I already had the shadowbox, Thomas stuff, and letters.  I love when i can do a fun project, make things myself and love it even more than "store" bought items!
