Blocks and Turtles

Last year about August maybe it was July I got this great idea I wanted to make these blocks and decorate the top of the cupboards in the kitchen. So I get distracted sometimes and it has taken me a bit longer then I anticipated...I finished a couple weeks ago. Here is a picture of the first cupboard. For the longest time it only said LIV.



Here are the rest of them. We have the ivy and lights behind them so we can light it up at night. It took me about two and a half months to get up the motivation to finish the last letter...so it said
LIVE LAUGH LOV
Everyone would ask if the E had fell or something...haha nope I just didn't feel up to making it.
The lettering is not vinyl. It is painted on with stencils. So I had to sand them, paint-wait to dry, paint on letter-wait to dry again, take off stencil, then touch it up because I am kind of messy.

Here is the complete picture.

My brother David that lives in Virgina bought us this cute little turtle set.
He was at the beach and was walking around the shops and this thing made him laugh and he decided to pass it on...so he sent it to Joel and me. It is a bobble head set of turtles made out of sea shells.

The turtles have little straw hats on and some have glasses...they are cute!

The pictures don't do the turtles justice...they always make me smile though. =)
