I'm doing a project!!

SO you know how putting you Kid's name on the wall with those wooden letters is all the rage? Well I love it but I so don't want wooden letters on the walls in the boys room...I can just see the craziness that will come about from that.

One day while flipping though the Land of Nod catalog I came across Boys Vintage Wallpaper letters I thought this was a nifty idea. I could put them on the wall or across the top of the window! how fun!! Well I did the math and it came to about $30 BEFORE shipping...and if you know me you know I'm cheap. I just couldn't do that.

So while at Michaels craft store yesterday I was looking at scrapbook paper to do THIS project I saw over on the NESTERS site...okay okay I'll post a pic it is so worth it!

BTW I found some paper that is PERFECT for our house but MR.Erin isn't down with the idea.

Anyway back to MY project! I found some paper that was so darling and thought HUH I bet I could make those cool wall letters for the boys room! I bought the paper and I'm almost done with one of the names I'll post as soon as it is done! I hope they come out cute. So far the total is around $11 give or take a few cents.

I saw this idea too. I think you need to talk the hubby into it! Looks like a fun project. PS, you'll enjoy going back to school. Are you going f/t or p/t? It's a big change, but a good one. :)
