Fun projects

I'm finally back...who knows for how long, but at least I'm making a post! :) And, much to your dismay (I'm sure!), its not about the kids...sorry!

Just thought I'd share a few projects I did recently with this thing called "vinyl". I'm sure you've all seen the different companies that sell vinyl lettering, such as this and even though they are able to come up with some pretty fun, creative stuff, it can be kind of spendy. I've seen infomercials on the Cricut, the little cutting machine I have and its showed it can cut vinyl. So, I went and bought my own rolls and started cutting away to try to save some money, but have some cute decorative things. Thought I'd just share a few of the things I've done.

The kids' bathroom - fun little reminder for them :)

Another wall in their bathroom - the walls are actually the same color, the lighting just was different from the camera flash...and the lines on the wall, making it look like I put one frame on the other side of a corner, is really just the shadows from the doorway. My most recent project below - today actually. I got these for Christmas a few years ago and love them, however, I saw an idea and thought I would add to them and make them a little more fun... :)

BEFORE:

AFTER: (yes, its a little hard to see because of the glare, but its ok)

Now, what to do next........stay tuned, I'll try to post and share. :)
