Busy Bee

I've found myself a little busier than usual lately. I think for some reason when I'm gearing up for Nate to leave I feel like I need to get a lot of things done. I think it's my way of accounting for the fact that I may be a little bit of an emotional wreck for a few days and it will be hard to motivate myself to do anything. I'm always thankful when that feeling passes and then comes the next stage which is where I usually get on some sort of a fitness kick convincing myself that by the time my husband returns I will have never looked better!

Anyway, some of my friends and I have been updating our nursery at church. A lot of painting so far and we're about halfway done. It's looking pretty cool, I'll look forward to sharing some before and after pictures once we're done. I've also been busy with a few creative endeavors for the spouses group in our squadron. I really enjoy a lot of the girls and the support that they bring. Most recently we had a fundraiser that we participated in. You had to pick a movie theme and ours was Urban Cowboy. I headed up the decoration end of things and it turned out pretty cute:

I didn't get a great picture of the table we decorated, but here are the stick arrangements I made:

The other idea, that I have "borrowed" from my super creative friend Nicole, is making diaper cakes. As a squadron we give a gift to new moms and this is what we have decided to give. I think they are really cute and also very practical, what a fun way to receive a pack of diapers! Thanks for the idea Nicole:

Last but not least I've had several designing projects to keep me busy lately. Unlike my mom I'm not to handy with a paint brush (although I think this summer I'd like to give that a try) but I do enjoy creating via computer. I've added all my new design to my website if you have a chance to check them out. Here are a few of the latest things I've been working on:

Thanks for letting me share, hope your week is a creative one!
