DIY Auntie Gift

My sis and I wanted to give our niece a personal and sentimental gift as part of her 1st birthday gift.  A friend of ours found a Spanish Proverb online that was absolutely perfect for a fun DIY project!  And super simple (and inexpensive) to execute so it was a win/win in our book! 

All we needed was a large canvas from Michael's (it actually came in a 2 pack which was quite helpful because I messed up the first time!) and a pack of paint pens.  Doesn't get easier than that!

Here's how it turned out:

We were really pleased with how it turned out and loved being able to give Charlie something special and personalized from her aunties!
