It is official, I am 100% back into beach-y decor mode!

It seems as though I have taken a short break, enjoyed Christmas andddd now I am ready to get back to the beach.

Now if only this Wisconsin weather would work with me on that one!

Don’t get me wrong, I am having a great time enjoying the big huge ice skating rink in my backyard, but boy would I rather be swimming in that lake!

Maybe another reason why I am SO edited for the warm weather is that we will be closer to meeting our little baby bean!

But since the summer weather is months away, I will stick to beach crafting to get me excited!

Since I am not naturally amazing at painting, I grabbed my good old watercolors for this project and just painted on top of a vinyl adhesive of an anchor that I had around from a different project.  After I had the watercolor just right I took the vinyl off of my canvas, and this is what I have.

I am still debating if I should add words…. what do you think?!

  6. This is great! Love the simplicity of it. As for words, maybe a subtle “Jesus is our anchor” or “Jesus is my anchor” if it applies to your life and family. The anchor just makes me think of our security in Him.
