In a world full of change....Be Yourself!!

So this whole Mod-Podge craze started & I've pretty much been in the blind.  I haven't messed around with it at all.  Until now!  I have to say, I had fun doing this project, but I think it takes talent and patience to get the paper just right so it won't crease or tear.  Maybe I put too much...maybe too little.  I don't know, but I am going to keep at it.  You can't become a pro at something without trial and error, right??  I saw this idea on a cool little blog, but so sorry, it's been so long ago that I couldn't find it to give them props!  There are amazing blogs though that you can get really cool ideas from & one day, maybe mine will be that!  Wishful thinking.  Anyways, I love the simplicity of the phrase "just be yourself".  This world is so crazy and changing, and sometimes people change too.  I know that over the years I have changed, some for the better, some for the worse.  But in the end, I have always tried to remain true to myself & that's all that matters.  So without further hesitation, here is my cute little project:


I think it turned out pretty good, especially for my first one!  I mod-podged strips of scrapbook paper, traced an outline with pencil of what I wanted it to say, painted around it, sanded the edges, stained the edges, glossed it & voila!  I think I might try to post it on ETSY, not sure.  What do you think?
