Dustyn & His Cardboard Friend

Filed Under: Family

For Christmas Carsyn received a Big Hugs Elmo from his Grammy. We were all joking around how much the kid on the box looked like Carsyn.

Well after we took Elmo out of the box Dustyn decided he wanted to keep the little boy. So when Dustyn was taking the boy off the box he accidentally ripped off the boys head. We were just going to throw it away but Dustyn insisted it was his new best friend and he wanted to keep it. We let Dustyn keep it and he has been having lots of adventures with his cardboard friend. He even said it was his cardboard friends birthday the other day and he made him a cake out of his softee dough. (That is the brand name, it is the same as playdoh but Dustyn insists we call it softee dough.)

He even asked me to take a few pictures with his cardboard friend. I am not sure how long this will last but it is cute and hilarious.

The same day before the cake, Dustyn made a bunch of Angry Birds and Angry Birds Space characters out of the softee dough. I think he did an awesome job. He sure was proud of his work.

It is a shame all the colors got mixed up because of the cake. Though it is cheap so we can buy him some more.

    This made me giggle. I love the minds & imaginations of children. We try so hard to entertain them & they are pretty darn good at doing it themselves!

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
