Busy Busy Bee

It just so happens I have a 3 day weekend and this first day was crazy busy and incredibly productive.  I started by going into work to catch up on a few things and I suppose that negates the previous 3 day weekend statement doesn't it?  Oh well it felt really good to get things accomplished. After work I stopped at the Scrapbook store, Family Thrift store and Wal-Mart for just about everything we need to get through this next week.  I had a few projects I had my sights set on today. 
Let's start with the boring one.  And this time I remembered a before picture!  Impressed?
It bothered me daily that the trim around our kitchen windows matched neither the new windows nor the cabinets.  Painting woodwork is, well ... work!  And lots of it.  You have to sand, then 2 coats of primer followed by two coats of paint.  I could not be happier with the results! :)
And I thought I'd let you all be jealous of my retro Christmas tree at the same time.  Since all of that painting involved lots of waiting between coats I decided to tackle a few Pinterest nursery projects.  Here is the Pinspiration:
What do you think of my final product?  I am so happy :)  Oh and I saved $87 by making it myself!
Now for Pinspiration number two:
My final product:
I know I'm a bit biased but I think mine is even more adorable than the original.  It's hubby's favorite picture so far.  I can't wait to get them all hung up in the nursery.  I should head to bed since there are even more home projects on the agenda for tomorrow.  (Wow technically today since I'm blogging after midnight lol).  Sweet Dreams!
