Molly's newest Talent



Molly started a new business dealing with Vinyl Lettering. It all started with Molly going to an Enrichment activity where they made quote boards. We thought, "hey, this looks simple enough. Let's try it out!" Well, we got a smokin' deal on a cutter and after getting the right programs and some vinyl products, we started cutting vinyl. We're both amazed at how easy it is and what a difference it makes for interior home decor. There was a sharp learning curve learning about the cutter, the software, and how to correlate everything, but Molly spent hours learning. She's quite a natural and really has developed a great sense of detail and and eye for color and design. Above is a picture of one of Molly's first big projects.



This is a board that she did with a neat "Wise men still seek Him," quote. Rylan enjoys going to the Home Depot to buy wood. Projects like these give him a good excuse or a rational reason to buy more tools! He cuts the wood, routes it and sands it down. Molly then paints, cuts, and applies the vinyl. Sometimes, it's quite a tedious process, but the finished product is definitely worth it. It's been a really enjoyable activity for our family. Stressful at times, but enjoyable nonetheless.




The Family Home Evening board and the wall quote were also done by Molly. Rylan helped route the wood pieces and put in the nails. Molly cut the vinyl and applied it to the pieces and added the ribbons. Quite a nice touch, I think. Her sister-in-law loved it!

Molly really enjoys talking to people about her projects and loves to get together with her friends to plan projects or ideas. These work great for kids rooms, home decor, and especially small gifts. We do sell them on the side - so if you're interested, please let Molly know!

You guys the blog is totally looking good, but could you please take me off the special thanks link? I didn't do anything!
I have a vinyl project that I want you to do for me, but I have to find the wall space first! It is super cute and I can't wait to do it!
