Cali2010: Funky Letters

Remember how I’ve been talking about how much I like funky lettering? (If you need reminding, please feel free to go back to this post or even this one). Well, anyhow. During our recent trip down south, I kept the idea of snapping “ransom note like” letters in my head, and I managed to use them to create something I really enjoy. Sadly, it’s not “perfect”, as we were usually on our way somewhere else and I didn’t have the luxury of taking photos in the “ideal” light or from the “best” angle (or even whilst standing still in some cases)…but it’s not bad for a first attempt. And it will make an awesome front page for my scrapbooking of the trip! Recognize any of them?

“California” spelled out using various letters found whilst there.

Now, you’ll have to excuse me. We’ve been home for 5 days and I’m just starting to make a dent in the piles of laundry, thanks to a broken-but-now-fixed washing machine. It is amazing just how unsettled I have felt not being able to fully unpack and “reset” things to they way they are “supposed” to be. And so, I must go and nest now. Have a wonderful weekend, y’all!
