I can't even lie or hold off anymore, it's been finished for 2 weeks now! I tried to hold off thinking that everyone wouldn't be surprised, but if you know me you understand I get an idea and run (I mean run with it!). I think Jake is excited that his 'projects' are finished now, but I'm bored and am trying to figure out new crafting projects that I can do now that it has nothing to do with the nursery. So, here it is:
Nora's mommy made butterfly mobile. I couldn't resist when I saw it on one of my Facebook friends pages...I Googled it and found tons of butterfly mobile ideas & I created this one with mostly shimmery white butterflies with a few black ones to match the room. I think it turned out awesome for less than $10! Of course that doesn't include the labor of tracing, cutting (a million butterflies), and putting it together with Jake's help. He doesn't like the word project-because it usually costs a lot of money, but when he found out how much I spent to make it he was OK with this mobile compared with any other one I could have gotten-that isn't near as cute!
Nora's little library...we added to it this weekend after the shower I had for Jake's side. Target has great books in the $1 section that I took advantage of.
Can't beat clearance items: lamp $6 from Gordmon's, mirror (that has been painted twice since I bought it) from Goodwill for $8 and the picture frame from Pier One for $7 holding our first ultrasound pictures.
Her name on the wall turned out just like I had imagined it.
Clearance T.J. Maxx ugly colored shelf for $6-spray painted & Hobby Lobby 50% off wall art with some of Nora's gifts from the shower.
Nora's stuffed animal-Jersey!
Black Friday 9 cube storage from Menards for 40% off! Waiting on the canvas inserts to go on sale at Target.We are excited to be finished and ready to relax for a couple months until she gets here. I have a doctor appointment on Wednesday, then every 2 weeks from there! In August, the every 2 week appointments seemed soo far away-I can't believe how time flies.

The nursery looks ADORABLE!! I expected nothing less for Miss Nora! What a crafty mom AND dad she has! Can't wait to see it in person, hopefully sometime before she gets here. :)
Looks fabulous! She is going to one little girl sleeping in style!
Very cute! We have that cubical thing as well-my only suggestion is to try and figure out some way to attach the inserts to the shelves. And if you figure something out-let me know! Starting at around 9 months Sophia started emptying the cubbies. And now, at nearly 2 years, its still her #1 one game.
Love the butterflies :0)
Looks great Rox!! Can't wait to actually see it. Bella loves the picture of Jersey sitting on the rocking chair!
you are getting pretty good with that camera :)
