My husband and I were just talking about making our budget tighter...we have some big purchases that we will have to make in the next year or two...one being a van. YIKES! I love how you are being so accountable. That is motivating.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I will get back to you about the name of the company. I just can't think of it right now. I have noticed these vinyl letters showing up in hobby stores and even Target. They are becoming popular.
It was nice to "meet" you!
