Not So Geeky but Yummy Baby Shower Gifts

My co worker is having a baby and I decided to make our office gift for her after seeing some adorable ideas on Pinterest. I went to our local party store and snagged the bowls and sundae dishes on clearance. I just rolled onesies, washcloths, burp clothes, hats, gloves, booties, and towels till i got something that resembles what I was thinking.   The lollipops are two washcloths wrapped around each other and then placed on top of a baby spoon.  The ice cream bowl is a receiving blanket, onesie, hat, and baby booties.  The ice cream sundaes are the same thing, topped with a puff from the dollar store and straw.

Finding Nemo Bathroom

Ever since my husband and I bought our house we have always wanted a Finding Nemo bathroom. We finally decided to start working on it over the Easter holiday. It took us about 4 days and $200 to paint the walls, redo the floor, and decorate. The main reason we wanted to redo our bathroom was our awful bathroom floor. It was mismatched and peeling back in some places.  Since we didn't have enough money/skills to redo the whole floor we decided to paint over the exiting vinyl tiles. We found floor/porch paint at Lowes and got a color that would mimic the color of sand. I primed it first with one coat of white primer and then 2 coats of the floor paint.We also replaced our molding around the bottom with a  matching color. I still want to do another coat since some areas still need more coverage. We are thinking of using a sponge to get more texture. I still think it looks great for how little we put into it.  We had painted our bathroom with some mistake paint w
