30 Days of Thankfulness: Days 12 - 13

Jonathan, the kids, and I have spent the last three days giving the infant room at church its own version of Extreme Makeover.  Old-fashioned dark blue dancing country bears have turned into an open, whimsical color scheme with a stripped wall that reminds me of rainbow sherbert.  Today, I am thankful for God's gift of creativity.

However, that was not the original plan!  We were going to simply paint each wall a different color.  The nursery teachers had given us some paint samples and color ideas which we really liked, and we when went to buy paint, we got to talking.  Our biggest struggle was trying to find out what to do with the large, main wall.  Mural?  Border?  If you know Jonathan and I, when we get talking and planning, creative things can come to life!  What started out as a simple repaint turned into three days of design!  We still aren't totally done; I need to paint the doors and trim, but it turned out really good (in my opinion, at least!).
