Pinterest

I mentioned in my last post about Pinterest.  I LOVE this website.  It is a great place to compile pictures, ideas, blogs - you name it - all in one place so you don't have to try to remember where you saw that dress, picture, recipe, etc. that you love.  The best part is that you can look at what others have "pinned" and repin it to your own area or just "like" it.  You need to be invited to be part of the site so if anyone is interested - let me know and I can send you an invite (I just need to know what email address to send the invite).


Also - about the decals.  On Etsy.com you can find individuals who are selling various decals or you can have one custom made to include your favorite saying.  I am going to start redecorating my daughters bedroom and I came across a sign that had a perfect saying for her...Some girls are born with glitter in their veins. I am going to have a custom decal made that will have all the words in pink and the word glitter in silver.  When I receive it - I will be sure to include a picture here for everyone to see.  (Did I mention that Etsy is my all time favorite website!! - check it out for yourself!)

I will admit…I love to craft but I have a problem. I have too many things I want to craft and not enough time in the day. I can’t seem to focus on one thing before my mind wanders to the next project. Ask my husband and he will tell you that I have had the light switch covers off in the laundry room for well over 2 years because I was going to paint the room…but I haven’t completed it yet. That being said…one of the best places I have found to compile all those thoughts and ideas is on Pinterest (www.pinterest.com).


One idea I came across was to take vinyl letters and put them in a picture frame. These vinyl letters are made to put on walls but I thought this idea was very interest..so I decided to try it. Here are the supplies I purchased – 1 clear glass picture frame with black edging (originally $9.99 but on sale at Michaels for $4.99) and the wall decal ($14.99 at Michaels). 

Picture Frame

Wall decal

You can purchase picture frames anywhere as well as the vinyl decals. I have seen the decals at Kohl’s, T.J. Maxx and JoAnns so shop around for the best price or where you can use a coupon!


So, I applied the decal as directed on the packaging and walah…new picture!! I hung this in my bathroom so you can see the wall color through the picture. 

Finished product

This would make a great gift for someone special or as a decoration anywhere in your home. One word of caution – check the size of the decal and make sure the picture frame you purchase is large enough for the decal. You can always cut the decal to rearrange the layout to what you prefer.
