Quick and EASY Wall Fun and Giveaway!

Before I tell you about the give-away (sorry, this giveaway is over) , I will tell you how to have decorating fun for only $7.50!

Yep, $7.50 is all it cost and it looks like this...
I went to TJ Maxx and purchsed this...

Sorry it's blurry...it's not your eyes. But this does exactly what it says, Peel, Stick, remove and reposition. Easy, Fast and Inexpensive.

After I was done. I realized that I could keep the bird outline part and use it as a stencil once for another project. It would stick down, I could stencil it in black silhouette then throw the stencil away. Now I will have to do another project...maybe a bird silhouette pillow?

And did I tell you it makes enough for two birds on limbs with leaves? Yea, all for $7.50!! The best part to me other than it being cheap and easy, is that when you get tired of it, just peel it off and no harm to your walls. If you are like me, my taste changes almost on a daily basis and I change things around all the time. This happens when you become an empty nester, stay at home wife and love decorating!

So while we are on the hall wall, I will show you how I decorated it with my children's pictures.

Purchased at Hobby Lobby. Loved the silhouettes of boy and girl. Instead of putting in their pictures, I just added their names and a heading of "Our Kids". Instant art.

My kids when they were young.

Daughter's hand print when she was 2 years old.

Son's hand print when he was 5 yrs. old. I cross-stitched the saying, "This is to remind my mommy, when I've grown so big and tall, that once I was a little boy and my hands were very small."

My kids at ages 10 and 1 1/2 years old. I used material to cover the mat.

The above picture was of my daughter's hands. The hands were blue, yellow (which has faded to almost gone) and pink to represent tulips. The sides of her hands were used to make the green leaves and stems. She was 2 when I did with with her. She is now 20. Click on any picture to enlarge for viewing details.

Now on to the give-away! Do you remember this pillow that I recently made?
