A Valentine quickie

Keep linking to the Organizing Party <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2009/01/our-mission-declutter-and-organize.html">here</a>! Mr. Linky has been grumpy, leaving the party here and there, but keep checking back if he's gone.<br /><br />I had grand plans to make a fluffy GORG Valentine's wreath this year, but I'm on a self-imposed spending freeze.<br /><br />Well, let's just say thaw...<br /><br />I planned on using a ton of red flowers to make a wreath, but when I figured how much I would need, it was getting a little ridiculous. I decided to try rose petals instead. I got teeny tiny pins so I wouldn't burn the tips of my fingers off with the glue gun:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ7qnGng_z-dVb1pPOx2A8xK-95nuVcQ_GYSSmN153JAFuheDuRIR0javI1BA0vUTwRWnsa9DRzqFmmGnYcrR0OBpzWphC92IKAZwGqwR5SwvHRx-BXhx-AtzPUZu1j63iMQ_RVezIs0ow/s1600-h/DSC07552.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292354925392454130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ7qnGng_z-dVb1pPOx2A8xK-95nuVcQ_GYSSmN153JAFuheDuRIR0javI1BA0vUTwRWnsa9DRzqFmmGnYcrR0OBpzWphC92IKAZwGqwR5SwvHRx-BXhx-AtzPUZu1j63iMQ_RVezIs0ow/s400/DSC07552.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br />Oh wait.

All that kid stuff!

<div align="center">Keep linking to the party below!</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br />I was SO naive back in the day...before and when I was pregnant, I was one of <em>those</em> who swore that the baby and kid stuff would <em>not</em> take over our house.<br /><br />Stop laughing. I was serious. </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br />I succeeded for quite a while. Diapers, wipes and blankets were out of sight in my cool chest I showed you. I had a cute little wicker box for all of the baby toys in the office.

I've since given up, really. I mean, I try, but really. It's just not gonna happen for another 16 years and I've come to terms with that.<br /><br />But I <em>have</em> found some cute, cheap and efficient ways to at least control the baby and kid stuff. First, in his bathroom, I showed you the cute bins for toiletries. I keep this basket in the shower room for bathing stuff:<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291342438004733522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjza68mfh83MMnKowfRVEg6f-chSrB3misVnBXIqZBwYrfKHu_qHSP9W0Uah4ZzmF5h69z006R0L6zQwLQ-YCoKl8WBHUF3pO6aQgalt6mWs7pDjO6bFvfvBMI7yHVKu0waG_g1Td52XUBe/s400/DSC07522.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /> This baby was $2 at a garage sale. <em>Awwww yeahhhh!</em> I covered the front panel with fabric from a clearanced PBK pillow case:<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291342441150476242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTBsKtvwiXhw7mhmsxvUGz-WJDY66xbMgaZp2lQ25bKuj0n-X129C3mF-fRz6yTub8h0hAYxWEGIdmcfqArDB_KzqvVdJhPmKaymuXH_zHAvIF4Uw-PFfPbiTFS21_9hyphenhyphenby0RCz5YlYOLn/s400/DSC07525.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /> I've shown you the toy box in his room, which houses toys that I try to cycle out of the main ones (he doesn't play with these much).
