Plate Makeover

So, my plates that I just painted got a bit of a makeover. I loved them before and now I love them even more. I bought the stickers from the dollar store and think they look perfect.

First Time Painter

I found this cool website called Wall Written. They have all of these cool vinyl sayings that you can customize for your house. I would love to buy all of them but can not afford to. Their prices and not bad, I just do not have that kind of money. Anyways, I thought that I would try to paint them myself. I am not good at drawing, painting or really anything that takes artistic abilities. I opened Word on my computer and found the exact font that i wanted. I typed out my saying of choice so that I could look at the computer and write it as close as I could. I got my pencil out and started to write on the wall. I was a little nervous but that is why I did it in pencil. This one was a little hard because it was fancy writing which i do not have. I chose the saying "P.S. I love you." I wanted it to be above my fiances night stand next to our bed. I am so happy with the way that it turned out. I know that it is not perfect and I am ok with that. I am just glad that I took a chance and am so excited to paint some more.

Our Rotating Art

In our living room we have a large mirror that hangs above our couch. I love the mirror but about a year ago I bought a couple of frames to hang on both sides of the mirror. It took me quite a while to figure out what pictures I wanted to hang in them. I finally decided that it would be a cute and cheap (free) idea to make it a rotating art frame. I try to change the pics every month and my kids draw that pictures that hang in them. I love that I get to display their work and they love to see it hanging there. Abbie and Brandon drew our Easter pictures last month and I just switched them out today. I drew some flowers for spring and decided to color one myself. Do not let me fool you. I am horrible. I have the skills of a 4th grader. I allowed Gabriel to color the other one. He gets so excited when I hang it and he loves to show everyone his picture. Anyway, i love them and I think they will be here for a while.

This is my beautiful flower. I told you that I was horrible.

This is Gabriel's. I drew 4 flowers and he colored them all by himself.

This is what the finished product looks like. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do.
