I just love picking up books from the library. When I was a little I would get so excited to go to the library.  The library was always a special place for me because I was able to pick out as many books as I wanted and I got my very own card!  I remember tucking my library card in my little purse- and it made me feel extremely grown-up.   I really found my love for books and reading at the library and I can't wait till I  can take my daughter to the library and make her first library memory. This book, Imagine- How Creativity Works really caught my attention because it's a book on the study of creativity.  It goes in depth about how one comes up with those big ideas or how one gets that creative spark.  Such a good read- and always so interesting to see the analyzation of creativity! What are you reading this summer? :)   ...
(Personalized Block- Tree by Kerri Lee ) I really wanted to do something a little untraditional for a baby's room and I wanted something that would stimulate baby's brain and also something soothing. I also thought about what kind of room she could grow into.  Since I am born and raised in tree filled- Portland, Oregon- I wanted to tie in a little bit of Oregonian culture.  We picked the theme forrest- because we love of the beautiful trees here and of course the woodland animals!  The color we chose was a soft aqua. I fell in love with these decals from Land of Nod.   My mom gave me this beautiful quilt and I think it's going to be something she will have forever! We used a cloth shower curtain for the curtain and love the happy little trees. Mobile made by me :) I hope she likes it - right now she can only see about 12 inches from her face and just started discovering her hands and likes to bat my husband in the nose....
