Rainforest Animal Painting
When the sales guy at the art supply store told me that the super-nice 30″ x 40″ canvases were on sale for $15.99, I couldn’t help myself.
I’ve been in love with the Fisher Price Rainforest Animals baby stuff ever since I first saw it. There are blanket sets, playards, jumpers, high chairs, and just about everything else you can think of. Of course, all of it’s expensive and made in China.
So, I thought, why shouldn’t I decorate the baby’s room with these adorable animals in my own way? At $34 or so with tax, I can’t think of a cheaper way to add color and cuteness to two of the nursery walls.
(I guess I did use about $3 worth of paint, too. It’s a good thing I’m unspoiled in paints — it doesn’t bother me a bit to grab 50-cent craft paint acrylics from Hobby Lobby. Unlike colored pencils, where I have to use $1-apiece Prismacolors.)
So at least one thing is completed for the baby’s room. I haven’t started on the second painting or even assembled the crib yet, but you can be sure I’ll be taking care of those things over the next few weeks. Now that we’re finally moved in and there is actually a room for the baby, serious nesting is about to take place!

You know, I was just thinking today that if you’re due next month, shouldn’t there have been lots of belly pictures by now? You’re not holding out on us now, are you?

I know, I know. I just can’t get a decent angle with the camera, and Hubby is so busy with other things I haven’t gotten around to it. Which I already regret. It is on the list for this weekend!
