Nursery Reveal

08/30/2011

Okay, so it's not much of a "reveal" since Raya is already 8 months old.  But I wan't blogging back when we put her room together, and I am out of commission for at least a few days recovering from my surgery... but just because I can't whip up something new doesn't mean I don't still have something ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
