Craft Therapy

I was in some major need for craft therapy this week.  And no, not because my toddler was a terror...because even though he is a busy little Monkey, that is rarely the case.  And no, not because I'm stressed out.  Even though our finances are causing some reason for worry right now, that was not the cause of my much-needed craft therapy.  Those are all great reasons to put some craft therapy in your life, but in fact, the reason I did need some craft therapy was because I needed SOMETHING to help me feel just a little bit closer to my Lil Miss.  Since finances aren't allowing much work on the nursery, I had to find some inexpensive projects to prepare for her much-anticipated arrival.  After all, at more than a year into this adoption journey so far, I'm beginning to wonder if that day will ever come that I am holding my sweet girl in my arms and gazing into her chocolatey brown eyes. 

So here's a glimpse at what is keeping my sanity right now =)





I LOVE it!  It was everything and more that I had in my vision.  I still have some finishing touches I would like to add...plus moving it into a girly and PINK nursery would sure help!  Of course, rocking my baby girl to sleelp would REALLY be a cure...right there folks!  But...that's not going to happen anytime soon.  At least I can rest assured that it WILL...someday.
