Few things in life, besides the obvious of faith, family and friends, make me as happy as those instant moments of inspiration for a project…

We found ourselves in Rochester the first wknd of March for Owen’s state basketball tournament. There’s a Hobby Lobby there and Ben’s mom loved that store as does my Aunt Caryl. Any trip to Roch requires a stop. On this trip we happened upon a variety of letters in gray chevron but of course the letter B was out. Alas, I found an O and it hit me then and there I could have some fun. My initial thought was to find a mirror and use to fill in the hole. That in and of itself made got my happy juices going. But the other night I found a letter B I purchased and painted for another project that it didn’t work for and realized I had something better on my hands.

I used some of the corrugated cardboard left over from when we purchased plates this fall (saved bc it’s perfect for crafts), taped it to the back of the O then put the B on the top of the O for a monogrammed piece of art. Best part, under $10 for the project and it looks perfect in the Mudroom.

Now that’s a Big O to smile about!
