Well last night I successfully took the metal frame off of the white erase board and cleaned it. That's about as far as I got. So this morning I began researching on pinterest how I wanted to "title" the area for the artwork. I decided I did want to go with "Masterpieces".
Now I'll be honest...I'm cheap and don't really want to pay $50 to get someone else to do something that I probably can, I just can't justify it. So I began looking up DIY vinyl lettering because honestly how hard could it be. Well found out the same contact paper that I'm going to use to cover the white erase board I can use with my Cricuit cutting machine and make my own phrase. Well after lunch off Zander and I were on another shopping adventure...probably not his favorite thing to do. The only annoying part was that this wasn't a one stop shop...but 4 stores later at good 'ol trusty Lowe's we found black contact paper. So now I'm cutting the letters out and going to hang them on the wall. Then when Jerry gets home I'm going to have him hang a wire to clip the pictures onto. Tonight I think we are going to attempt to put the contact paper on the white board.
So there is also another craft that I might attempt tonight on Pinterest and that's printing with your printer onto burlap...looks so cool.
On a side note my little boy turned 10 months old today...honestly where did the time go. I truly can't believe that I just mailed out 1st birthday invitations. Crap! I better get working on the favors. Another adventure I'm sucking Jerry into :) Seriously though, I feel like I just gave birth to this wonderful person and now he's growing up so fast. He truly is a blessing from God and I'm so excited that Jerry and I get to be his mommy and daddy and that we can raise him the way we truly believe God wants him to be raised.
Well nap time will only be about another hour so I better get to cutting these letters out and up on the wall.
