Wall Stencil

So I really wanted to put this saying on my wall and just didnt have the money to get a vinyl lettering so I had to resort to other methods. I decided to make my own wall stencil. It took a total of about four hours to make and get up on the wall and I really like the way it turned out plus I was able to customize the paint which I couldn't have gotten with the vinyl

I started by printing out and taping together what I wanted

I got some freezer paper and taped it together so it would fit the words.

Then I traced the letters onto the paper (which is easy with freezer paper)

I then cut out the letters with a exacto knife (this was the most time consuming part, I think there is probably an easier way)

I taped and centered the lettering

(I had to make sure it was where I wanted because there is really no turning back!)

I sponged on the paint (I used a cotton ball). I used black and then radomly sponged on gold. I think it turned out nice and I saved the stencil so if I ever need it again I have it.

He is getting around!

He is getting around! I am not sure if he is just rolling or scooting but somehow whenever I leave the room (not while I'm in the room) he finds a way to get where he wants. I think he is going to be a very active child, his mind is constantly going and he is so interested in everything, should be fun :) I also caught him pushing up onto all fours yesterday (Uh oh, I'm in trouble now). My house is about 50% baby proof so I have some work to do. With Luke I anxiously awaited these mile stones now I can hardly believe they are already here! He also has another tooth (bottom right) that has cut through and we are sleeping through the night again, Yay!

I had left him on the blanket
