Inspiration

Inspiration. It's a funny word if you think of it too much... especially on pinterest. It seems that all I do lately is get inspired (rather, like the image I see) and then pin. end of story.
I need to do a pinterest challenge and actually make and do things I pin.

Ok, here is my pledge.
THIS WEEK: I will make one pin for every pin I make. Make sense? bahahhaaa.

Anyways, back to inspiration. I'm glad my cousin came to visit a few months ago and inspired me to paint our bedroom wall with breadfruit tree leaves.

I love it.
And thus, had to share it.
the end.

Tissue Paper glass window collage

If you are like me and save up every piece of tissue paper from every gift you have ever received, then this craft is for you.

A sneak peak at our Master Bedroom

I finally completed this mural on our bedroom wall. I rarely get over 10 minutes to myself each day with a 2 year old and an 8 month old at home. They keep me busy (and I wouldn't want it any other way). So it was quite a challenging (more time consuming) task, but I'm glad I did it.
I guess the reason it took so long was there were just too many steps: paint yellow coat, creating and drawing leaves, painting leaves white and then figuring out that it needed a second coat.. painted leaves again, erasing pencil.... So over 3 months of working on it little by little I finally finished it.
I love it and most importantly, my husband loves it.
I'll post more photos later.
