The other day I found a saying on Pinterest and I really liked it. It said, "Together is our favorite place to be" and thought that's a perfect family statement. It describes exactly how we feel about our family. So on a Saturday J was home I made a quick kid free trip into Michael's to get a few supplies. Having a coupon in hand I think I spent under $10 on everything. It's a real treat to go into a store and come out without breaking a sweat from lugging 3 very wiggly children in and out with me. I even walked the down some of the aisles and browsed a minute...it was great! So, after a couple days of deciding what to do and not wanting to mess up a blank canvas I just dove in. I used acrylic paints in blue, buttermilk, black, and holiday red.
I'm not in love with all my lettering. I did it all free hand. I've been researching Pinterest on the how to's of lettering. I know there's a way that I can do it and it look cleaner. I'm always interested in what works for others, so if you have any advice let me know. But there are things I really do like about it. I like the colors and I like that I have a piece of art that didn't blow the budget. And for my first one I'm pleased and one thing I did like is how much I enjoyed painting and creating it.
