Help! Craft-Challenged!

Okay, so I need some cute ideas for a girl's nursury. I like simple, but classic/modern decor. I'm kind-of craft-challenged, so nothing too complex. But if anyone has any great ideas or websites, please share!

Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your Grandpa - I always loved him. He always had that sweet smile on his face, kind of like your dad and Dennis. As far as crafts go, I'm with you on that one. The one thing I did that I loved and was SUPER easy & cheap was Jack's name in 12" wooden letters, modge podged with scrapbook paper that cordinated with his bedding (there's a pic on my blog). I'm also a big picture person and framed pics of my baby's feet or old time pictures of Hill family farm, etc. Your mom's house rocked my socks, and I'm sure you're just like her. I can't wait to see your nursery!

Hi, I hopped on over from Kara's blog. Congrats on having a Girl they are some much fun!!! An Idea that is super easy is framing fabric you can get any pattern you want an any size you want. If you do it, it helps to get spray adhesive so that the fabric doesn't bunch, good luck!

Hiya Nic,

This is Michelle - Tyler's wife. A great gal that is like a daughter to me is on her mission in St Augustine. Since there are 4 missionaires there, I didn't know if you have meet her yet. She is Sister Krista Carstens. She is a little quirky but has a big heart. Give her a hug for me if you meet her, ok that would be weird but maybe you could give her a verbal hug. Please let me know if you meet her. Michelle

Hey Nicolette, I was sorry to hear about your Grandpa. I know he was going down hill for a while and it was a blessing but it's still hard. And I'm sorry you couldn't make it to the funeral. I know you really wanted to be there. On a lighter note-- I used fabric boning for my "hooter-hider" and I found the pattern on the internet....i can't remember where. It's just a rectangle with a tie for your neck on the top! I saw an idea for a nursery wall that I loved....They did a peg board all along one side of the wall...so like a side board about shoulder height that you drill those wooden pegs in and then you can hang things from them... I traced a mural on my nursery wall and painted it... that was fun...well good luck!
