Well, there is a story behind those valances.
Two years ago when my son was born, a teacher I worked with loaned me a "pack n play"--a portable play pen/baby bed.
I have used it at my mother's house for almost 2 years with no problems. I was able to keep it in pristine condition like when I received it.
The DAY before I was to take it back to school to give it to her, my husband ran over it with the SUV. ugh. The pack n play itself was not damaged, but the cover that it is stored in was ruined.
I went to her with 3 options:
1. I could make her a new cover (what I preferred);
2. I could buy her a new pack n play;
3. I could pay her what a new one would cost.
she chose option 4--could you make these curtains for my grandson's room? I said sure---just because I felt HORRIBLE about the damage I had done.
whew! I will never use anything on "loan" again!!!
as for my next project---
I am going to ask hubby for mother's day/anniversary gift for these new die cuts so I can make a choo choo train for my son (and also use in my business)

as well as the tracks to go along with it:

He is into Thomas the Train and Elmo right now. I can't find an Elmo die cut (probably a copyright issue), so I'll stick with trains.
