I've had these letters painted for awhile and Carson's name has been hung for awhile, but Becca and Thomas just recently got their names put up. I don't know why they sat for so long, but you know how it goes. Sometimes it's the simplest things you have to MAKE yourself finally do. :)

I painted these myself after looking around online and finding that the prices were crazy. These types of letters go for anywhere from $6 per letter, up to $20 per letter. The $6 letters are very thin and have no designs. :( So I bought these plain white ones at Hobby Lobby for less than $2 per letter and went to work with my own paint brush! :)

They aren't totally my own designs. I got a lot of inspiration from some of those $20 per letter ones. :)
