This might be a total fail, but I’m still trying to decide. It started when I found this image on Pinterest:
I’ve seen tons and tons of things just like this, but, for whatever reason, I really liked this one. Maybe it’s because I married an old guy, maybe it’s because I’m not so young anymore. I just liked it. So I decided it was time for a craft project.
I bought a big canvas, paint, stencils, scrapbooking paper and mod podge. I ended up having to cut the f*cking letters out with a razor blade. I chose a shade of purple for the background because purple is G’s favorite color. I know, I know. It’s a miracle some idiot married him.
I had a mild coronary when I had to start gluing the letters to the board because, while I want everything to be straight and perfect, I refuse to use a ruler or any sort of measuring device. I just eye-balled that dumb thing…and that’s why I’m not sure about how it turned out.
As you can see, it’s a bit jacked up. I’m living with it for the next week, though, to see if I can get over it.
I also parked this bad boy in front of it….
and I think it really helps!!
Aside from the spacing and straightness issues, it’s almost a little too nice for me. I mean, I have a coffee mug that says “I’d rather be anally raped”. This doesn’t really go with that.
Great quote and your artwork turned out great!
Thanks Nikki! I still might burn it, although I really like the quote.
Well done!

Thanks, Uncle Daniel!!! I’m pretty sure you would have had the whole thing lined up perfectly, though. You’re way more patient than I!!
Love this! That quote is perfect!
I really like it! I think the “imperfectness” of the spacing actually gets exactly to the point of the quote! (By no means would I use the term “jacked up” to describe it though)
I agree, I like that it is a little jacked up!
You are so funny…did you stop writing?
