Be Brave & Have Courage

How to:
I found a painting for $3 at a yard sale. I spray painted the frame pink. I painted the painting white. I thought of a phrase.
I went to Lows to find latex adhesive letters & stuck those bad boys on.
I painted the letters, peeled them off and VOILA!

Also, it is important to never leave the room when art supplies are in baby's reach, as they could be tempted to dabble in the art of body painting. Black paint is scary, apparently.....

Also, Mom's, It's down right mean to continue laughing when your baby is crying and trying to get paint off of their body, only rubbing the paint in more and making it worse.... It's not right to take multiple photos, one photo should do the trick. Three photos? We get it, it's funny. But look how sad he is? Someone give this kid a gummy bear or something for God sakes!
{ It's pretty funny though... I have to admit. }
End result: Inspirational saying to remind you to be brave.
This is actually a gift for my friend Bobbie who is battling cancer.
She's probably the bravest, most courageous woman I know.
It's her birthday.
