Some things are just meant to be purchased... there's a reason they are so expensive!
Hubby's a teacher, and tomorrow we plan on decorating his classroom for the school year. We had this idea to tape vocabulary words to the windows and walls, so we went to the teacher store to buy posters and precut-out alhabets. Well, the posters were plenty cheap enough ($2 each) but the precut letters were VERY expensive.
Me being the cheapo smarty pants that I am, I told hubby that we'd just go into the computer and print out all the letters we'd need and I'll cut them out with my Xacto knife. No big deal, right? After 12 words, and still 12 more to go, my wrist is cramped and aching, I've got a yucky blister on my index finger and I am tired of cuttng out letters! WAAAAAAAHHHHH.
Anybody care to come over for a little letter-cutting-out party?
