Creativity among the Chaos

I'm stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllll working on Z's room.  A little at a time, it is coming to life.  BUT, the sheets have been washed, the bed made and a special friend added to keep him company.

I've been trying to do a little crafting to add some decorative touches to his room.  Ya know, it's not cheap adopting and it's really not cheap when you take all but one member of your 5 member family to Ethiopia for 2 weeks and 2 more has to return a very short time later.  It's all worth it ... but it also leaves little for the "luxuries" of life.  That being said, this is called creating a room on a budget.  It's been fun though. 

We already have a little touch of Ethiopia in the room.  I found this on my trip in February and loved it.  

The room from the door.  I had to make "fuzzy" his name over his bed since we can't "OFFICIALLY" post it yet.  

And while I am STILL decorating, I am mostly COLLECTING ... donations, medicines we will need, and things that must be packed.  Z's room has become Ethiopia or Bust!  It is "Creativity amongst the Chaos"!  

Yes, the above are about 100 pairs of Crocs, two totes of clothes, a box of clothe diapers, 10 packs of wipes.  That's just the beginning ... that MUST travel with us.  Where is your clothes you ask?  Hmmm, I haven't thought that far ahead and they are far less important.
