So here I go on a special "blended family" project! Did I mention that in our blended world all 3 sisters are from different misters, and all three brothers are from different mothers? In the end, however, we share them all. The letters are traced onto paper, and I am working on 2 coats of black paint on the edges of the large letters (Joann Fabrics). Later I will Modge Podge the paper to the letters, a first for me. My end goal is each child's initial, which will hang over each child's close up black and white picture I will hang (either will get this summer or will go retro and do pictures from age 18 mos or younger). I got the frames, 11x 14, I have the blank wall, so now it just time to get the letters and photos done. In the end I will have unique and personal artwork in our home, representative of our blended family. I think I will also do a birthday sign in the middle, with all first names and dates of birth. This will all hang in our favorite room (besides the kitchen if I am cooking!), the gathering room...a great place to spend the day in your pajamas :). I love only working part time in the summer so I can do fun stuff like this! Will post when I get the letters completed and eventually a picture of the whole wall completed.
