A Poem Tree for Ella's Room....


We will soon be putting in a new floor in Ella's room and at that time I will be changing her room around and making it more reflective of my little five year old fire cracker of a daughter! I have purchased from Little Bundles Baby Boutique these beautiful wall murals which are removable and reusable. I can't wait! They are whimsical and magical! I will post photos when I'm done...
