Getting ready for summer!

We have been having some unseasonably warm weather over the past few days, so I started thinking about summer and remembered that I had a project I needed to get working on.  Back in August I won a tiki bar...a real, 8' tall, thatched roof tiki bar that needs some decorating.  So while I was in a summer mood, I decided to work on the sign.  Using my Cricut (Life Is A Beach cartridge), I cut out some letters and shapes.  While those were cutting, I worked on painting the background of the sign and adhering the cork board (my favorite for simulating sand).  Then I put it all together (using my Xyron for the letters to make sure that the letters were really stuck on there good).  Now all I need is a margarita in my hand and my day will be complete!
