Amongst the crumbs in between the couch cushions, chocolate milk stains on the rug, toys overflowing in the corner basket and all kinds of fuzzy stuffed animals taking up more space on the couch then me....
Love Lives Here
Despite the fact that I have not held the TV remote or watched an episode of Designers Challenge on HGTV since my kids were born, my husbands idea of watching tv
Love Lives Here
Oh... and did you see the eposide on Composite Propane Cylinders...too cool.
PS- to make my "Love Lives Here" canvas art, I simply traced my words with my Chipboard lettering ( that I got at Hobby Lobby) on a piece of canvas that I painted with a base coat and then handpainted the letters. I distressed my edges with a fine grit sandblock, wiped down and then sprayed with a clear acrylic finish.

That is cute. Now go clean up those crumbs.
Oh..you can tell by the atmosphere of your beautiful home and the wonderful stories of your family, that "love lives there"!....Now, can't wait to see a project with those Composite Propane Cylinders!
I love the art, Laura. I can totally relate to never controlling what is on tv anymore! Now I'm going to be singing the Chugginton song for the rest of the day. lol
Love the bright pop of happy color, Laura! And what a great idea to trace around chipboard letters. Totally going to try that! Ummmm... What's a TV? ;)
Crazy but - hands down - best time of our, and their, Life.
And a second opportunity in being a child, a teen... again.
love the color! love the idea! and absolutely love your description.
It's beautiful, and I love your little story with it. I remember those days.

Love this idea for some college theme rooms...thank you!
Turned out excellent.
Hey, this week I visited a crayon factory and watched a man hand make mouth harps all from the comfort of my bed.
Bliss
LOVE it! Get it? :) Linda
I think that's the best use of those chipboard letters I've seen. Great idea and now I have some ideas bouncing around in my head ... :)
Wonderful reminder when the crumbs are taking over and the remote is far away :)
Are you going to Haven this August? (I hope so.) I had such fun last time and enjoyed meeting you in person. I'm looking forward to going again this year.
So cheerful! It is a good motto to live by.
Yes,Laura. I do have a question(or two), as I WILL be making this, like right now...How big is the canvas? Why have I not heard of Chip Board Letters, and why it is better to trace and hand paint, then to paint said letters and affix them to the canvas? What size are those letters? and.....What is the name and brand of the paint you used, please?
Thank you, :D
