Thanks to my bff TAMN and Scribble It!

If you haven't had the pleasure of reading TAMN's blog, you have been missing out. Seriously, So Blessed is the latest, greatest, most brilliant blog out there. If you are a Mormon Mommy Blogger like me and slash or if you can just appreciate good humor and poking fun at our unique Mormon culture, this will bring you to tears with laughter. If you are easily offended--thicken your skin, get over it, and get ready to laugh. TAMN has been featured in the paper a few times and she was even on KSL last week--and I feel seriously, so blessed to have been a reader (and therefore an e-bff of TAMN's) from the beginning. TAMN (Tiffany/Amber/Megan/Nicole) is a self-proclaimed hot, righteous, newly preggers 25 year old that has it all figured out. She went all Oprah and did a big give-away from her sponsors (the girl's got sponsors!!!). Long story short, I was a lucky winner!!! I won a $20 gift certificate to Scribble It!

I love vinyl lettering, but I have been commitment issues when it comes to putting words on my wall. I have lots of wooden plaques and tiles with vinyl lettering but only one other phrase actually ON the wall (it's in the laundry room, it says: Laundry--Loads of Fun). 2 Nephi 31:20 is my favorite scripture, and I particularly love this part, so I decided it would be a good one to put on the wall. I love the fancy font (Scriptina) used for the words steadfastness, hope, and love... and I just love how positive this is. I put it above our kitchen window so we could see it all the time. I always need a good reminder in each of these areas.

Scribble It did a great job... but unfortunately I'm not as perfect as TAMN and I seriously botched it during application... I folded it onto itself, so the letters and adhesive backing stuck to each other... I spent some serious time picking apart each letter and rubbing off adhesive, then I tried to get the spacing right and used tweezers to put the letters and words back together... amazingly enough, I salvaged the letters and even the punctuation. I had used a level to get a straight line, but as you can see that didn't do much good, and it has a distinct slant upwards to the right. Ryan is glad that I put it up by myself, so I have no one else to be mad at. I so wanted to say lots of swear words while I was trying to fix it, but given the content of the wording, I refrained. It isn't lost on me though that the word "perfect" is anything but perfect. Oh well, gives it character, right? Sorry TAMN (not that you would be reading MY little blog, you have way to many bffs to keep track of us all...), I hope I don't reflect badly on your reputation :).
