FINALLY Completed this Project

I got these letters to do the girls' names back in January. Yep, that's right, it has almost been a year and I finally got this project done. I really like how they turned out. Don't look too close, because they are nowhere near perfect. I loved working with the fine glitter and really love the way it looks on the wooden letters. The "O" in Nora's name is actually my favorite! Anyway, I just thought I'd share. This was no easy project, but now that I did it, I think the next time I do a project like this it will be a lot easier and I won't put it off for so long. I guess my biggest problem was just finding time to sit down and work on it. I didn't want to start unless I could finish the names in the same sitting. Need to learn that with children around, some things are just not going to get accomplished as quickly as I want them to.
Not that you need to see this many pictures of the same exact thing, but I wanted to include pictures of them on the wall. I like the lighting better with the ones on the table, though, so you get to see both. Maybe sometime in the future I'll display them on a shelf or hang them with ribbons. For now, this works. They look super cute in the girls' room with lavender being the main color it is decorated in.
