Inspired by Subway Art

One of the blogs I am subscribed to just for sheer eye appeal is eighteen25. They have shared loads of "Subway Art" over the last few months which kinda inspired this very simply layout of T I put together. I wanted to capture all of T's most commonly used sayings or exclamations. Since he is very much a boy and plays a ton of hockey, he has started to talk like a sports commentator (he keeps using the phrase "longer than a country mile" too but I figured that could be a layout in itself).

As you can see it is just a picture of him and all the phrases jumbled on the page. I like the idea but I am not sure of the execution. The boys in this house do not see the need for embellishments so they don't look at it the same way...I crave to add more here but then wonder if it would get really out of hand! (BTW, this boy does not suffer from low self-esteem at all!)

Positive note of the day: Got Avery a couple appointments to go view some preschools. I hate all this legwork to get stuff done. I don't know why I hate it, I just do. Of course, Brad and I even argue about who is going to call and order pizza. Why do we do that? Both of us would rather get in the cold car and go pick it up versus making the call. Thank gawd they now have online ordering...ha!

Love the reasoning for the Saturn rings. So sweet. Oh, and wanted to tell you I also love your posts every day with "Newly Discovered". I have found many blogs I like from that. So thank you!

Something that would look awesome with this is if you used the paint feature that looks like spray paint. Then you could do it in different colors and make it look like graffiti!
