**Please excuse my bad pictures today. The lighting was bad, and my photos are fuzzy!**
Thank you for all of the nice comments and emails concerning my need to nest as opposed to actually unpack. (The only problem is that I still have not unearthed my sifter, which I desperately need for frosting making, and countless other items that I fear may have disappeared forever into moving-nowhere-land.)
I continued to avoid unpacking today,thankyouverymuch, choosing to bake cupcakes and create a charming little sign to hang above Moose's bed in my bedroom, next to my fireplace. (Ooooh, how I love that fireplace in the bedroom!)
You see, there is an electrical outlet right behind and slightly above his bed. It just bugged me, it being there. (And from the look on Moose's face, I think it may have been bothering him, too.Either that, or he was tired of me messing around by his bed while he was trying to nap.) Then, I had an idea. I knew I had an old framed quote from...when? The 90"s? Ya, probably, or the late late 80's. (Remember when we had all those cute lil' country quotes all around the house? Well, I had them anyway.)
Two hours later, I had located the old framed quote at last. (It was buried in a yet to be unpacked box of office items in the downstairs bedroom...) I then painted the oak frame black, printed my own new quote and matted it with an old piece of scrap book paper.
Problem solved, and I didn't spend a dime. I was really happy with the results, and I think Moose was pretty taken with the sweet little sign as well.
*sigh* Life is good here on Fargo Loop.
