Every time I’ve gone to Michael’s Arts and Crafts, I’ve looked at these large white letters you can purchase individually. I knew I wanted to create something using these letters as personalization, for {O}’s room. But I was undecided if I wanted to do her whole name, or just her initial.

For weeks now, we’ve been sewing, tying, punching, hammering, gluing, trimming, coloring, painting, pouring, pressing, and just generally making one mess after another.  And cleaning up one mess after another -( but no point in ruining the fun with reminiscing about that little tidbit.  : )  Right?) Now, we’re at the point of packaging some of our creations, and sending some packages out that need to be.

I’ll have you know, I also took LOTS photos along the way.  In fact I had a ball today taking photos of finished products.  And while I do have more of the crafts in… (READ MORE......) | 1 Comment
