Projects

I’m feeling rather pleased with myself…
I mentioned in one of the last few posts that I let Sarita do my creative painting and things like that… cause I usually mess it up. I did mess up a project I tried the other week again, might show you and get some input if the next round of trying doesn’t turn out.

But anyway, back to the pleased feeling.

Jenny had a giveaway a few weeks ago.
It was for Red Letter Words and I would have loved, loved, loved to win.
Who wouldn’t have??
Lots of people entered.
I didn’t win.

I wanted this one.

It just fit so well with Dakota’s birth and the years we spent waiting and praying for him!

I just really, really wanted it.
But I didn’t want to pay the price!
$55. Just couldn’t do it.

But I got to thinking.
I can do this myself.
I scrapbook, why can’t I make my own?
Well, design my own, but get it printed.

So I did.
I designed it along the same lines as the one from Red Letter Words.
Uploaded it to Mpix and got it mounted on a foam core.
Red Letter’s $55. Mine $20.

Now granted, it doesn’t look {quite} as nice as theirs, but I am happy.

So far it’s just propped here beside Mr Curious George. (that was given to me when I was a baby)
One of these days I want a really nice old shelf to sit it on.
A project for some other time. (maybe)

One other thing about this mount. Madison was looking at it when I got it back and was asking what it meant. I explained it to her and she says, “Well, why does it just say “I prayed?” I helped pray for him too, not just you!”
