Family Sign

I've been dying to make one of these for quite some time and it was one of the first projects I intended to make with my silhouette machine.  I bought a gigantic board at Home Depot and sat down to cut out my lettering.  It took me about 5 sheets to get all the lettering.  I painted the board and then laid the lettering on and then brushed white paint over it and then peeled up the lettering.  I love the rough edges it created and made it a bit more rustic.  I know the year is off centered but I love it just the same.  An even better bonus is that it covers up the wires to the tv that my husband had to hang on the wall. <yes, I'm rolling my eyes>

Kid's Chore Chart

My son is 3 but I knew it was time to start to give him a few "chores".  I bought a cheap magnet board from Wal-mart and cut out the lettering with my handy silhouette machine.  I added a few stickers to the magnets and voila!  Even though he can't read yet, he knows which one is which.  I was rather surprised that the first day after I made it, he woke up saying that he needed to make his bed.  WAY TO GO!
