A Little something for the Home

Anybody else out there have a Pinterest account with lots of great ideas but can't seem to start any?  There are so many great home decor ideas that I want to implement in our home but can't seem to find the time to do them.  One thing that I've always wanted to do is make a wall hanging with some rules reminders for our family.  I love having Scripture in my house and I thought this would be a great way to have a few in one piece.  Here is my inspiration:

See that sign behind that chair?  Love the words; really really like Ashley's blog.


Had to look for an unobstructed one:


Then I saw this and thought, 'how cool would it be to recreate on in photoshop using a chalkboard backdrop with some cool chalkboard fonts?'


So I started.  But as with any other craft project, it was unfinished.  Then, my extremely creative friend from http://blackflipflops.blogspot.com made one for her bathroom the other day (super duper cute) and  so I had to start working on it again.  Hers looked amazing and fun and I realized my walls are so boring a bare; I better get back to work. (Thanks, Virginia for the boost:))  Doesn't hers make you smile?



I'm still trying to figure out if I will just make a photo print and frame it or if I want it on canvas.  Anyhoo, here it is.   I replaced some of the words with words directly from Scripture and that I want my kids to see everyday.
