I really just ought to start this post by thanking Pinterest since the genesis for all of these projects relates back to Pinterest in one way or another. So, thank you Pinterest! I went back and forth about posting this because it's so petty and I'm not trying to brag, but it's just taken forever to complete the three of these and I'm just so excited that they are done! So, for better or worse...meet my wreaths: This one took FOR-EV-ERRRRR. It was also kind of a money pit.

The crib will be cherished for more reasons that just that a few of my kids will sleep in it. So, it's a fine and dandy deal to me in the end. It's so fun to see him in a real crib!
