Yesterday I shared with you about the ultimate trade I made with my personal trainer friend Erin. We are currently working on decorating her son’s room as part of the trade. Her and her husband created the planked and shelved wall like I made for Isaac’s room. It looks awesome, but it needed some color and custom art.

I would like to start making signs with different sayings. What would be the best way to get the lettering to the board? Buy me a Silhouette Cameo machine, overhead projector (someone mention to me) or something easier or cheaper. Most of my stuff will just be sayings using letters? Thanks for your help

I love my Silhouette Cameo machine for doing lettering. I have never gone the projector route since it takes longer.
