                                For now it rests under the altar shelf in the dining room.


Total cost of this project: $ 0.00

Foam board - already had in school supply closet
Phone book - well we all have one of those
Glue/brush - craft drawer
Letter stencils - from kids book
Marker - always have black markers for labeling

I have made many different kinds of these using other types of paper and sayings.  This idea was inspired by my sister Jenn who does her art on this background sometimes.  You can see her blog here http://pinkybrowninc.blogspot.com/. This is one of her pieces......love it!!!!
