Really made something creative!! Most of you know I am NOT a creative genius...I am really good at paying attention to the brilliant people around me and copying everything they do, deviating very little! And even for this, I must admit, I was inspired by someone else. But you know what? I don't care that I'm not original! It makes me happy to do something like this, and I don't do it to be some suped-up Martha mama; I do things like this for my family and me to enjoy! So here goes...
I get great and cute ideas from Lindsey at Imperfect, and a while back she had a project posted that I adored. I decided to scale it down (since I'm a first-timer) and adapt it for what I needed.
Here's what I made for Ava's room this week:
If you can't read all it says....
To Be a Godly Princess...
Your fairy dust is kindness...sprinkle often.
Enhance your beauty within
Treasure your heart and keep it safe
Serve others, yes, but sincerely love others
Spread His Kingdom...don't be afraid of hard work
Use your gifts to bring joy to others
Realize you already are, in Him
I chose to test this out for Ava's room first because I had plenty of pink scrabooking paper that would work in her room. I just cut out scrapbooking paper in different widths, using different types of edged scissors. I then wrote my rules for being a Godly princess, wishing I had bought a much bigger canvas. Most of these I just came up with on the fly...anything would work. I then sloppily painted the canvas in my "core" colors: pearlized white, seashell pink, and spa (tiffany) blue. After it dried, I mod podged the canvas and placed the papers, and then covered it with mod podge. I let that layer dry, and repeated the mod podge five times.
It was fun, and no, it's not perfect...but it's hopefully something my little princess will treasure one day and that's what counts! So even if you're not creative and you're dying to try something, go ahead...give it a try! You'll be glad you did.
