Wow. That sounds like an awesome plan. I would be interested in helping out if you needed it :) I'm having a baby next Thursday, but I can have daddy watch her :) :)...
I went to an art high school so I know plenty of people that make fun stuff, paint, sew, such like that. I will send them your way :)
PS I live right off of Ray and the 101. Sprouts is an awesome store, you should check out Fresh and Easy as well. It's on Ray and Rural which is about 2 miles west of the 101.
