Happy Earth Day

Today is Earth Day. Most people plant trees on Earth Day, but I painted a tree on my wall in the school room/playroom:I'll have the kids decorate the tree with the seasons. What do you think about the color of Mr. Owl? I mixed brown and yellow for him, but I don't know about that color. I also painted the outlet brown on the trunk.

I've been busy working on the school room/playroom! The walls are painted a butter yellow. I'll take more pictures when it's finished (with Phase I- aka I don't have enough money to do everything I want all at once, but I'm happy with how much I could do!) but I really liked the way the tree turned out so I couldn't wait to show you!

UPDATE: It's now *Ahem* early in the morning, and I just stayed up all night to finish a project: a banner that says "just add imagination", and now I have to show you that too!


I love it!

PS I used scrapbook paper for the banner mostly from this collection: click me.

I really like it too - you've done a fantastic job. And I like the owl just how it is. When I woke up this morning and saw it, I thought, "Wow, she found the perfect color."

I love your tree! Such a great idea. And the banner too. Your kids are going to have a blast with changing the leaves for the season. :)

SO cute. How did you do the tree? Did you trace something or free hand? That is awesome.
