Playroom Alphabet Border

I have been wanting to paint an alphabet

on our playroom wall for the past 2 years.

Alas, I didn't want to actually stand on a ladder

and do it so...

I procrastinated.

Sometimes my procrastination pays off...

when I saw this genius solution

(this beautiful alphabet over at the Snail's Trail)

I knew I'd met a woman after my own heart.

I must say, I've been coveting this scrapbooking

paper set for sometime at our local Walmart

(in the scrapbooking aisle)

but needed a good reason to buy it.

Then, I saw her post and realized that she used

the exact same paper set

(woo-hoo) !!

It was my arts and crafts destiny.

I was supposed to buy it and use it in our playroom

(or at least that's what I told my husband

when he came home and saw what I did!)

And yes, if you were curious...

I put it up on the wall

with my CM tape runner.

Before I added this lovely alphabet,

I hung our Eric Carle alphabet flash cards

from this curtain wire I purchased at IKEA.

It's a less permanent solution if

you're not down with the tape runner

on the wall idea.

I also use the wire to display kid's art work

and seasonal decor.

(those are just little curtain clips that I clip the art with)
