Always a Teacher

A little over a month ago I ran into this site and fell in love with the concept of these wall hangings. I think they so spoke to me so loudly because as a teacher I used walls and bulletin boards to teach, remind and inspire. And with this concept I could still do that in my home. (While I love the look of vinyl lettering on walls, it hasn't grabbed me like this did.) But I didn't necessarily want any of the canvases available nor was I willing to pay that kind of money. So I decided that I could make my own.

I've been sitting with an undecorated living room for almost 5 years not knowing what I wanted to do with the walls. So it's quite unbelievable that that very afternoon I ran out and got me a couple of canvases (at 40% off). It was also impulsive for me because at that juncture I didn't know what I was going to put on them! However in the wee hours one morning a few days later, I knew.

Now to get the rest of the room finished. . . .
