Man I LOVE Pinterest.
There are so many fabulous ideas floating around it makes a crafter go NUTS!
I have always loved this saying, I even installed it directly on the wall of my friend Jane's house. Go here to see how hers looks.
Here is the inspiration piece I got off of Pinterest via Etsy on Sweet Designs Boutique.
Here is my version.
My project consists of an old calendar holder, you know the ones everyone had a few years ago to hold all those adorable calendars? Well if you check at Goodwill they have those in all the time. The only thing I did was lightly sanded it and spray painted it black. I then glued down some pretty scrapbook paper and then applied vinyl lettering on top of it.
Oh Pinterest, what did I do before discovering you?
For more Pinterest inspiration there is a linky party going on over at 5 Minutes for Me.

That is beautiful!!! I love it . I have one of those calendar holders that I am still using. Good idea!
Ya, pinterest.......I am so BAD!
Hey, this looks awesome, great ides..which Pinterest is full of for sure! ;D
Yes, I have that calendar holder. I purchased mine from Gooseberry Patch several years ago.
I plan to turn it into a chalkboard ~ when I get around to it. I've already purchased a can of chalkboard paint, so there's no reason it hasn't been completed yet.
Your project looks perfect.
What a nice saying to hang in your home around the holidays. its a reminder of what the holidays are really about.

It turned out fabulous Connie! Love, love your vinyl work!
You are so right about Pinterest! I would also be quite lost without it.
I am actually hosting my weekly Pinterest Linky party at the moment so if you have 5 minutes to spare please pop by. I would be honoured if you could link up this post!
Best wishes,
Natasha @ 5 Minutes Just for Me.
PS I should have mentioned that I found you via Jonquil from A Whimsical Christmas!

I love the way it turned out!! Pinterest is the best invention EVER!!!
Hi Connie, I get my wool felt at a quilt/sewing/craft shop. They sell fat quarters for about $2.75 or so. They sell wool felt on the bolt, and I think it's about $18. a yard. That seems very expensive but most projects take very little wool felt.
I've seen wool felt on bolts at JoAnns fabrics and with the 40% coupon it wouldn't be quite so expensive. They're limited in their choice of colors though.
Check out Elizabeth's blog. She does a lot of wool felt stitching.

She talks about an online source for the felt she uses in this post here.

I hope this helps.
