Not only did I find the wonderful flickr site of numerous letters and numbers (Leo Reynolds), but I stumbled upon the blog Full of Great Ideas which featured a how to. I am itching to get modge podging!

Art on the Cheap

I enjoyed this simple project so much. I think that's partly due to the low cost, high awesomeness factors. The idea came from All Things Thrifty. The canvas we already had as well as the light blue paint (from Bruce's table). I bought the dark blue craft paint and a paint brush for $4. I spray painted the canvas, then with the truck image for reference I drew it on the canvas. It took two coats of each. This brings us one step closer to completing the decorations for Bruce's room. I am very satisfied with the look of it.

Notice the collage of family photos? I ordered it for free through a Walgreen's promotion a few weeks ago. A few days after getting it I was reading this article about displaying family photos in your child's room and gave myself a pat on the back because I wanted those photos to be a reminder to Bruce of his value to our family and help him see that he is loved. Wahoo! Plus I am so in love with our family pictures that I want to display them in every room.
