Oh joy

I thought this project would turn out so cute and we would have it to keep for years to come.....  Well, they are cute but you know when you have an idea in your head of how you want something to look?  My kids did not share my same view.  Cute designs and shapes quickly became nothing but solid colors.  I guess I should be grateful that they did not end up being all brown:)  I got cardboard letters from the craft store.  Since they were brown, we first painted them white so that the colors would show up brighter-well that was my vision any way.  After the white dried, we each took a letter and made dots, lines, shapes, etc.  Then the next thing I know they were all covered up and we had solid colored letters:)  I guess next year we can elaborate and recycle this project and maybe do something more with them but for now they look great on our small, side windows. 

See the trouble maker standing on things she shouldn't be?  lol
