Personalized Wedding Gift

We had a sweet girl in our ward get married this last week. Visit her mom's blog, Denton Sanatorium, to see pictures. Here's what I did for a more personal gift. I picked up this rooster shelf that had great lines, but the rooster was a little too taste specific.A little sanding and a fresh coat of Rustoleum's Semi Gloss Black and she was ready for personalization.I used my cricut machine with the Sure Cuts A Lot software to create a custom design on vinyl. Here it is all done up with her new last name and the year they were married. Hope you have a great weekend finding some trash. Love, Kelly

    I love this. I actually watched that gift be brought in to the reception (I was walking behind it) and it wasn't you bringing it. haha Heidi is lucky to have such a great shelf for her house.
