Lauren Got Mail!

I was surprised to see this come so soon, but there it was in the mail yesterday! I've sent away to the White House for a birth greeting on all three kids now. Not that I am really a huge fan of George W. at this point, but he's still the President so we'll let the other stuff slide. Just a fun little something to include in their baby books. It took me three (!!!) separate requests after Greg was born before it finally came - so seeing this two weeks after I requested it was a shock. Maybe their administration is finally getting their act together???
I've been busy around here - I went to hang curtains in my office and found that they were about 6 inches too short. Grrr. I love the curtains but had bought them two years ago for a different room, and there was no way to return them at this point. So my mom and I got crafty and did this:

Hooray for $2.00 fabric and braid trim at Wal-Mart. I wanted to get super crafty with the fringe but I know my limitations and my sewing machine is on the fritz anyhow. So I was thinking this was a decent start at home crafting. I think my talent lies more with flowers, but I'm working on that!

Here is the finial - I won't show you the whole thing because then you would see my messy bookcases on either side of the window. That is a whole other organizational project (YAY! I love buying a good something or other to put something or other IN!) But aren't they cute?
