    Sure, but if you taped it out, even your kids could do it…that easy.

    I was surprised at how soft the fabric medium makes the paint. I definitely want to do some more.

    If you could have seen 20 3-4 year olds in the bandanas, they might have won your favor! Got a heat press for Christmas, so lots of fabric designs in the future, I imagine!

    I’m not at all surprised that rug went viral, it’s awesome! I’m pinning it again! And I’ve always loved your post on reading, it’s SO spot on. When can we get together for a crafting session, HA!

    We totally need a PSMM crafting session…I have your stenciled doormat waiting in my queue. Got the mat from IKEA, now just need a few minutes to create a stencil! I also wanted to do your “hello” door on my garage entry, but the door needs a fresh coat of paint (in a fun color!) before I add vinyl. And I need my husband to “agree” to my vision 🙂

    You have the creativity in putting cool outfits together. Just used your inspiration the other day for how to wear TOMs desert boots – I would have never have thought of that!
