This weekend I got crafty! I really shouldn't be allowed on the Martha Stewart aisle at Michael's. Its dangerous. There is so much glitter everywhere, my little girl self goes a bit insane. This time I stuck with two colors. Choosing which two was a little bit like choosing a favorite song. Impossible. And I didn't even need them for this project!
Okay enough about glitter. Remember when I was in Alabama a few weeks ago? Well the Bestie and I decided her wall needed some beautification. Oh dorm rooms. Sigh. So we went to Michaels and got the makings for three pictures: one for Louisiana (her home state), one for Bama (her home for the next 4 years), and Texas (because that's where she lives when she's not at school and boy oh boy is it great).
They turned out really well!
Louisiana:
She mightttt just be the biggest Saints fan in the world.
Alabama:
(the final one had sweet home written on it in cursive)
"But wait," you cry. "Where is Texas?"
Ah yes. well. uh. you see I was having a very off day so my Texas one looked horrible. I am ashamed to call it mine. So I promised the Bestie I would paint her a new one this weekend.
Here it is!
The canvas was white which I painted to look like the Texas flag, and then I used cardstock cut in the shape of Texas which I filled with all of her favorite things about our home!
Some favorites:
-Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo
-Escalantes
-Long car rides to David
-DASH
-Y'all
and of course, Rachel!
And that is the tale of my Texas picture! The canvas came in a two pack, so I most likely will be doing something else crafty so prepare for more crafty-ness in the near future!
Geaux Saints!!! Also...Rachel is #1 on the favorites of Texas! Woohoo! I love the post and the Texas masterpiece looks AMAZING
