Ribbit, Ribbit
I don't know what it is about frogs. I've always thought they were cute, but somehow I've developed a magnetic attraction to cute frog things. I always thought that my baby's nursery would be decorated in a sea life theme, because I LOVE tropical fish and sea creatures. But when I started looking at bedding and baby stuff, the sea life stuff just wasn't that cute. They come in obnoxious electric blue colors and they just don't really match. Don't get me wrong--I still want to have plenty of fish stuff, but I just won't go so far as to have it as a theme. So then I thought I'll just do animals. Animals are great--they are all over baby stuff and I don't have to be limited to just one.
Then we decided to paint the nursery green, and from there it kind of exploded. I thought, I'll paint a few random frogs on the wall, because it would look cute with the green. Now I have discovered that apparently everyone likes frogs because I am finding frogs-a-plenty in baby bedding and decorations. Not only am I finding them, but I am drawn to them. They are hypnotizing me with their green, but not too green color, and their big, froggy eyes. So here it is--the theme is animals, but I have a feeling there may be a bit of a frog bias there...
Anyway, these are a few pics I took before the digital camera battery died. Keep in mind that I'm not quite done--I've still got to touch them up in places that the color overlaps where it shouldn't. Hey--just because they're cartoon frogs doesn't mean they don't have to be perfect. :)
