I originally wanted to make a toy box for hte bay's room but couldn't find an affordable one to save my life. I even scoured craiglsist for a couple weeks. I finally found these neat little faux leather storage boxes that turned out better than the toy box idea. They were a whole $9 each. Add $20 for the paint and I did pretty good :)

This is the bedding she chose:

and the wall hanging I borrowed the design from to make the storage box tops

The wall hanging s sell for $40 for the 3 pieces. Part of me is considering also painting three little canvases like that too.
I have a ton of clothes to put inside -- I added up the original prices on the tags as $175. I paid $29. :) :) :)
and I have the elephant blankie I made that matches the stroller PERFECTLY.
I feel like I am being cheap.... but I know its all in my own mind. I know money is tight for a lot of people right now. I looked into the registries and nobody's bought anything yet. I spoke to a couple other people to see what they're planning on getting her (out of pure nosiness ;)) and they said they haven't bought anything yet because everything she chose is out of their budget. I feel bad and I'm not going to tell her that she's killing people's budgets! :p
