And when I stopped to look around me today at the other shoppers, I was REALLY surprised how many others had their own binders of coupons open in the front seat, too. How have I never noticed this before?
Anyway, moving on - It has become a tradition for Josh and I to make letters for all of my sister's babies' names. With baby boy Jack on the way in just a few short months, it was time to get cracking this week! Instead of having Josh scroll the letters from wood like we did for Brooklyn and Natalie, I wanted to put MY touch on this one and use my new favorite toy - Mod Podge. I picked up some paper mache letters at Joann's and simply traced them and pasted and sealed a strong navy blue paper on each one. I was tempted to decorate them with orange touches to go along with the nursery's Auburn theme, but I showed some self-control and just left them a clean and simple blue. I did tell Emily to hang them with some sort of orange string or rope, though. That should really pull it all together.
Come on, baby Jack! Aunt Kimmie wants to love on a baby boy again. I bet I cry. I have a soft spot for a certain baby boy of my own.

What a good looking name!! :) I love the letters, thanks so much! Can't wait to get them so I can put up on the his wall!!!!!!!!!
Yes, baby Jack, come on now so we love on you (and so mommy can quit having nose bleeds! So gross)
ok...where do you get all your coupons? Do you get the Sunday paper? We don't get the paper and therefore NEVER get coupons. The ones on couponmom.com just don't seem to do it for me. I am hearing about so many doing this couponing thing. I have to get on this bandwagon. Maybe you can give me Coupon 101 in a few weeks face to face!
I will surely rattle off what I think are the basics to get you started....they are about all I can handle right now. :)
Yeah, we get the Sunday paper and only because of the coupons. And lately, we buy about 4 extras if the inserts are good ones. If you don't want to buy the paper, you could probably ask around for anyone to save their inserts for you. Lots of couponers around here do that.
Jack is such a cute name... and your letters are super cute too!
So interesting that you enjoy the plastic smell of your binder... that is one smell I'm not so fond of. :)
