I got home last night, and there was a package waiting from me from Canadaland. I should have taken a picture of the wrapped package, but I was too excited to think about pictures. I also should have taken a super cute video of me unwrapping, but I'm not a brazillian. Jens is.
So I'm tearing into this package wondering what treasures from another land could be in there. It could be a box of snow, or maple bacon, or polar bear teeth, or a penguin egg, or really expensive cigarettes. But it was none of those things. It was just about the sweetest, most thoughtful gift ever. Jens made me these:

Re: Jens_a_brazillian
We're redecorating the spare room, and at the moment, all of the furniture from that room is in the nursery, so I can't even get near a wall of the nursery to hang them, but as soon as we get all the crap out of there, these are going up on the wall. I can't wait. Jens, did I post pictures of the nursery? These will seriously go perfectly in the room. I really can't wait.
Here are closeups of them:

So so sweet. The top one made me cry a little.
This is your nursery, right?

Those are so so sweet. Awesome Job, Jens.
The top one and the bottom one made me cry. I'm glad no one is here yet. Those are so sweet Jens. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
YAY YAY YAAYYY!!! I have been dying waiting for you to get it!
When I went to send it at the post office, the lady was like "Land mail, or air ma..."
And I was practically like "AIR MAIL WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK ASSSHOLE?!"
I don't think I've seen pictures yet of the nursery, but I knew you were doing classic pooh stuff in there. And one day I was reading old Pooh quotes and they just made my heart melt like buttah and then walla, craft project idea. I'm so glad that they'll fit in well in there!
I know they're kind of lame and home made-y and that I have crappy hand writing on my card, but they were created with lots of lub. And I really am so over the moon happy for you and Jimmy and I wish so so so much happiness for you as you start your new lives as parents.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
They're not lame at all, and I love that they're homemade-y. I'll post pictures of the nursery in a bit so you can see just how perfectly they'll fit.

Yes, do eet!
I'm so excited that you got them today. Our office has been in chaos and melancholy because someone was let go suddenly due to restructuring yesterday, and this totally makes my day 20 times better.
I was thinking of making a similar set for my other friend who just had a baby. But with a Giving Tree theme.

Awwwww! So cry-y!!

I LOVE YOU GUYS.

Aw, thanks! I found the pooh pictures online and played with a bit to make them look more like real watercolor paintings. Pasted quotes in and put them into a type-y looking font. I wanted them to look kind of like pages ripped out of an old book. Then I took white tissue paper, tape it onto pieces of card to keep it from ripping, and put them through the printer. Carefully took the tissue paper off the card and decoupaged (haha) them onto plain canvases. Let them dry, put a few more layers of modge podge on and let it all dry. Then used more modge podge to put green ribbon around the sides of the canvas, and to put a little loop at the top of each for hanging.
It sounds really involved, but it wasn't super hard. I'm not quite right up top and mine turned out ok. You could do it with any picture (or poem or whatever) you like, really.
I'm ruining the lovey feeling of this post with my craft instructions.

Definitely.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
They are so cute! Jens, you're the greatest.
The nerve!

How strange, my eyes seem to be watering.
Great job, Jens.
"The meek shall inherit the earth" isn't about children. It's about deer. We're all going to get messed the fuckup by a bunch of cloned super-deer.- samfish2bcrab
Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
