I am creating a palm tree in my daughter Savannah's room using cardboard packing material (free, and I got the idea from a display at her school); four faux palm leaves ($1 or $2 each. I want to pick up some more.); and I'm bedazzling the trunk via sequins affixed via glue gun. The sequins were $1 at the Dollar Tree and I still have many more to apply.
I always wanted to be that mom who paints clouds on her kids' ceilings. Plus, I hate cleaning so I sweeten the pot by undertaking a simultaneous creative project. Which do I do first? Let's just say I am unfamiliar with delayed gratification. I like eating dessert first. I also want to be the girl with the most cake.
Besides which, there is, I hope, a budding decorator/imagineer in me, just waiting for the right time to venture out.
