Cute pics and a cool find

Here are two professional pictures of Samara taken about six months apart. The first one (in the blue) was taken in China for her passport. The second one (in the pink) was taken a week or two ago for her citizenship application (yes, I'm a little slow). Look how much she has changed! It's unbelievable how much of a baby she was six months ago and now she seems like such a little girl. So cute.

On Saturday I was at Color Your World purchasing some paint for the trim and doors on our house. While I was waiting for the paint to be mixed, I walked around the store and found the coolest border. I am so not a wallpaper person . . . but this I couldn't resist. My livingroom is a beige colour and my dining room is red. This border has both of those colours in it and it's Asian! I took a sample of it home and Mike also liked it and the colours totally match. So I had to go back and get a roll. The best part is that it was even on sale - less than half price! I'm not completely sure where I'm going to put it yet but I have a few options. Here it is against the red wall and the beige wall. Did I mention I love it?

I can't believe it has been six months since you got home!! I remember stalking your blog when you first got your referral. As for the border I LOVE it!! I like it on both walls but I think I stands out more on the beige/taupe wall - if you need help putting it up I LOVE wallpapering and painting so let me know!!

See you tomorrow - I can't wait!!

Samara has changed so much in the 6 months. It's hard to believe how 6 months can change a child from baby to toddler.
As for the wallpaper border, I'm not a fan of papering either but that is beautiful. It would look amazing on either wall. I'm envious as I would consider putting that somewhere in our house, probably then one with pictures from both girls adoptions, silk hangings, etc.
