Finally...a project

I have always considered myself somewhat crafty. Recently I realized I've been fooling myself. Because, you see, crafty people CRAFT. And it's been awhile.

I was going to have the pictures printed but in the end decided on cutting out then tracing then painting them right on the paper. The baby's room is going to be pink, red, and green with ladybugs, flowers, etc. Hopefully these will fit right in.

If you are interested, here are a couple of vintage clipart sites I found: ONE and TWO.

Where else can you find nice pictures like this
