Family......

So I had some bday $$$ last month & saw some good deals at my local Joann's for these cool sayings that are just vinyl clings (I'm sorry Torreh...the deal was too good too pass up!).
I found one that is my philosophy on family.
See:



Tres chic, no?
See the handy dandy black plates next to it?
Picked those puppies up at Goodwill, spray painted them black, bought some dollar store plate hangers & viola.
I am going to put something under the saying tho.
To balance it out.
My mom suggested a shelft.
At first I was like nah
BUT
I remembered got a black shelf from Target in July for a STEAL...normally $25, on clearance for $4! Hello...can you say SPAVE???

Perhaps I will put a bigger, oval shape plate underneath.
If I use the shelf tho I could prop some pics of the kids on it.
Then again that darn wall is cement & virtually impossible to put nails in.
Really, don't bang the wall because those plates could fall & hit you in the head.
Be careful there Bobster!

I had some black gingham bows that I tied glued to the end of the plate rack but they unglued themselves. I so need to break out the hot glue gun vs. glue dots.


BTW, they aren't really uneven, my living room is crooked.






So Tanya @ The Thrifty Mommy bestowed this award on me!!!

Hi! I have that saying too! I just don't know where to put that one yet... too funny! (I actually have it on a plaque in my foyer, then later bought the vinyl letters, and couldn't remember WHERE I heard it before...kids will do that to ya!)
Thanks for visiting my blog!!

So glad I stopped by. I had been looking at things like that from www.vinylattraction.com but I bet I can find them cheaper.

I have 4 pictures staggered on my wall behind our couch..2 per kid. I've been trying to come up w/a family or inspirational phrase to put up there.

Hard to do that when they are teens & you spend your day trying not to throw darts at those pictures :/

Ack! My eyes are bleeding. Serves me right for not visiting your blog for so long. Now that your a decorator deluxe, throw a sister a bone and send your peeps over to my site for all their vinyl needs.
