I've been collecting letters for this silly project for about 3 years now. I kept thinking it would be the best way to decorate a large wall without painting. At the time I started I also thought it would be cheap because I could find all the letters for $.99. When we moved on post and were unpacking I realized I only had 18 letters and I had already spent $40 on letters. I told David I was ready to bag the project and try to see if any poor fellow would buy my 2/3 of an alphabet. David allotted me another $25 and said just hurry and finish it already. So I went online and ordered from a wood cutting company the last 8 letters. Towards the end when I was painting everything David got really into it and helped paint even the baseball "i" was all his idea. So there it is. After all that time and money this will be up in our various houses for at least the next 10 years! I've got to say I had no idea how much we all would love it once it was finished. But mark my words I wont be embarking on a project like this again for a very long time.Apparently I am too long winded to just post a picture and say "Cool, huh?" Next time...

Very cute...I am sure you will have others posting about their cute alphabets very soon:)
LOVED THE ALPHABET WALL AND LOVED THE EARLIER POST. ALWAYS A GREAT MOM ON GOOD AND BAD DAYS...BECAUSE YOU ARE THERE!!
Love it! Ok so I am horrible at commenting, but, I thought it was time. So excited for baby #3, I'm excited to see how the garden turns out so you can teach me how to build a box, your kids are adorable and I love the little love seat and not that you want my opinion, but if you just slip covered your brown couch and added pillows with the same colors as the love seat it would totally match because your drapes already do and you could do it all for less than $50 I bet. But, you seriously need to come down here or let me know when you are in town because I MISS YOU!!!
but we all want to hear your long rambling commentary, Sammy! So please post it. All of it.
