DIY Project: Ikea Toy organizer

One if my latest projects is changing the toy organizer we bought from Ikea, into something that was more color appropriate and at least cute for a girls room. I have a lot of spare time and have taken on quite a bit of projects thanks to Etsy. Browsing thru the thousands of handmade items I thought "hey why pay a ridiculous price for something I can do for myself!"
So what i bought was pink spray paint - I got from walmart it's outdoor and indoor  I have noooo idea the different types so I just went with something that seemed universal. Only $2.87 Then I went to Michael's (a craft store) and dug thru the dollar ribbon bin and found a hot pink satin ribbon and a thinner girrafe print ribbon. $1 a piece. I also have some fake flowers laying around which I got from the dollar store, the bouqet $1. And what's holding all of it together?? My handy dandy hot glue gun and it's a mini hot glue gun I got from walmart for less than $5 I think..
What I used:
                          -Hot glue gun
                          -fake flowers
                          - pink spray paint
                          - ribbon
What I did first was spray painted the whole toy organizer outside of course! Then I let it dry overnight, and then I took the 2 ribbons, measured the front 3 layers of the hanging organizer and the inside colored parts. I hot glued the the giraffe print ribbon to the center of the hot pink ribbon, then piece by piece glued it to the areas of the toy organizer I felt like it need ribbon to cover the previous color. Then just for a touch of something more girly I took one fake flower. Took it apart, hot glued the pieces to each other one by one, and found a jewel and glued it to the center of the flower, then hot glued the flower to one layer of the toy organizer.

My Sailor

I am sooo proud of my husband for being in the Navy for doing what he has to do and being such an amazing man. This is my first deployment and I think I'm just being hormonal (being pregnant and all) but either way I miss him like crazy and I love him sooo much! I just pray he's safe and that these next 3 months don't feel like years. You'd think I'd be used to this being a Navy baby myself ( dad was in for 21 years), but it just different I guess when it's your other half gone instead of a parent. I just keep telling myself he's on submarines so he'll be home in a couple months, it could be worse he could be on a surface or carrier ship and not be home for half the year. But then again on the surface ships they get to call, to talk and do all sorts of stuffs that subs definitely CAN NOT DO! Oh well, either way I'm missing him terribly, hopefully I'll get used to this soon and keep myself busy for the next couple months!!Love You
