Remember the old Lay's potato chip commercial,
"Nobody can eat just one"?
Yeah, that's how I am
about something that I like in home decor.
I can't have just one!
I HAVE to have a collection.
That's the way it is with my monogram art.
I couldn't have just one letter A.
I MUST HAVE MANY!
All around my house.
One in my bedroom.
One in the family room.
And in the kitchen.
One in the computer room.
(Yes, we named a room after an inanimate object)
In the hall.
Even on the front door.
And several in the living room.
(I have even more A's, but you get the picture.)
And I fear that after showing you how to make this:
You have now started your own collection.
After all, nobody can have just one!

I'd Love to do this, but the letter "A" looks so cool. Ours is "L" and I've had a hard time finding "L's" that I like. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteYou are right...M's are creeping up everywhere in our home!!! Love all of your A's!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the crackled one!
ReplyDeleteCollections are just the best! I love all of your A's - each one is different so its all still interesting! I love the combintaion in the computer room.
ReplyDeletei have a tough time finding "Eeeees"
ReplyDeleteYour letter "A" looks great in every place! I love it! How fun is that!
ReplyDelete-Sandy Toes
Yep pretty much!
ReplyDeleteI love monogram art too! Our "D" is pretty boring but I still use it all over! :)
ReplyDeleteLove all your A's...guess I really have to get on board and start working on my L's. Hey at least I got my paper out last night and traced out for my Boo sign....
ReplyDeleteyes...you are right...even the kids have their own personal letters:)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love my homemade one with the R. This will be a great gift to give to people. I want to make one for my son't teacher. I already gave one away. I appreciate you!!
ReplyDeleteYep, I have lots of K's around our home. But, I may have to make your craft project. You KNOW I NEED it!
ReplyDeleteI love the "A"s! Your project from the "mart" is so cute too. I am always on the lookout for G's too...but haven't found any good ones in awhile. I might have to check out the mart too! :)
ReplyDeleteCarrie
Since my name is Amy--- if you want to part with a few... ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! We are gathering a collection, as well.
Oh, I love all your A's. I don't have many B's yet.. but I am working on it..
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to give you an "A" for all of those great looking A's.
ReplyDeleteAaaaa, what an A-mazing collection! Hehe. I love all the A's. I finally made one of your "5 minute projects" this weekend, which I'll be posting later this week. I messed it up, so I'll probably re-do it eventually.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love that fall sign you made! What a great idea using the cloth!
All of your A's make my C collection look pretty pitiful. Gonna have to beef it up a bit!
ReplyDeleteI love them all! Especially, the cluster of "A"'s!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog- I LOVE your ideas! You are very creative-more I can replicate!!!
ReplyDeleteFunny thing about this post is your letter is "A" and mine is "B" for Beck- Any C's out there? :)
ReplyDeleteHappy first day of fall!
Robin~♥
AHHHH.....I need to go get some. ...S's that is, not the A's.:)
ReplyDeleteI bought two this summer (unpainted), but alas they sit so lonely in the back of my "used craft store." Waiting to be taken out and shown some painting love.
I love your A's they look so great I have a few R's I love the look there great. I have even given them away for gifts everyone loves them.
ReplyDeletehave a great day

Well, I am an "A" myself so I have several of them in my non-scrapbooking scrapbook room:) Our last name starts with "S" so those have started accumulating as well. I'm going to have to make one of your projects! Oh, and we have a computer room as well. I've never heard anyone else call it that:)
ReplyDeleteI am a letter "D"...after your little project..I had to go out and buy everything and make me one too.. I think they will make wonderful Christmas presents for my friends and family....Thanks for the idea...
ReplyDeleteall of your a's look too cute around your house! my husband thinks i am CRAZY for wanting an new "H" everytime I see one! They are just kind of hard to find...so I have to grab them when I can! Personalized things just make me happy!
ReplyDeleteI like it that you have a collection of A's. We would have a collection of B's. Humm... Maybe I should do mine with a Bee Hive?! I have my supplies. Just haven't started it yet. Trying to check off some other projects first.
ReplyDeleteI like all of your idea's keep them coming!
Jody
Oh! That is fun! If you ever want to get rid of some of your A's I will be happy to take them off your hands!!
ReplyDeleteI found some large single capital letters at TJ Maxx (awesome font). I'm going to decopauge one in (just the right) tissue paper. The one in my sewing room will probably have small little roses all over it??
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm with you...I love the whole monogram thing.
I am the same way! I have one on my front door, lamp shades, a huge one on the wall, etc. I cant help it! I used to say I would monogram everything even my car if I could! Now look, they are selling ones for the car! I wish I would of done it sooner! Julie
ReplyDeleteYou have the best projects and I really appreciate that you share them with us...I just need to do some of them.:)
ReplyDeleteWarmly,Deb
Hi Joy,
ReplyDeleteI really like your monogram art! I haven't started that yet...but there is always tomorrow!
diane
Wow! Somebody send this girl a consinent. LOL! That's a lot of A's. I am totally obsessive about having complete sets. I could not just have our "L" all over the house. I would have to have the whole darn alphabet. Yes, I am crazy like that!
ReplyDeleteJenn
GREAT! Another blog I love! I will never get a full night's sleep again! :) If you don't mind, I'd love to add you to my list.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection you have there, makes me seem a little boring. Have a wonderful week! Jackie
ReplyDeleteI have the same obsession....just in 'W'. I think you win on the sheer number though.
ReplyDeleteLove them all! Those letters are classic and never go out of style!
ReplyDeleteWell I was going to give you an "A" for your "A collection" but I see someone else beat me to it!lol I have been wanting to make your wall plaque art but I cannot find a good looking letter "G" I can hardly make out what it is when I find one!lol Maybe I'll use my first initial instead? Anyway unique collection!!!! Jeannette
ReplyDeleteI love all your A's! And they are all so different! Too cool!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a nice, sedate little initial. I have a W which is kind of wild and crazy and spindly. But I have a few W's hanging around anyway. I've loved letters since the first time I saw an M on Mary Richards wall on the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
ReplyDeletelove them all... and love how you displaped them!
ReplyDeleteI love monograms, too. Yours are all so different. I really enjoy visiting you....love your blog!
ReplyDeleteYour collections are really pretty - I especially loved the crackle A!
ReplyDeleteAnd we've named a room after the computer, too. :)
@ sincerely yours--check Hobby Lobby if you have one in your area, they have some great G's. Thats where I got mine...and promptly spray-painted it black. I'm also thinking this would be a great Christmas gift.
ReplyDeleteI love monograms too. Seriously LOVE them~ Your A's are all great!
ReplyDeleteCute. I like how you've used them in the rooms.
ReplyDeleteCute. I like how you've used them in the rooms.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could do this but our last name initial is "F" so not the most positive letter!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is soooooo cute! I love how you have placed them all over the home!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection ! I don't think you can ever have too many monograms.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love how you have decorated with A's. I guess I'll have to think of a way to add a few G's to our home decor :>) I hope you have a lovely day!
ReplyDeletei love all of your "A"s. i only have one "C" but i'm sure i'm on my way to collecting.
ReplyDeleteI do so love your blog and ideas -- was sent by cherries jubilee --- I am so glad !! - how delightful -- the == A - thing makes me laugh -- because I now have about 5 K's in my art studio -- some not finished -- a K almost 3 feet tall out of mache (unfinished ) Gotta get busy !!
ReplyDeleteKathy - GA
I ust finished getting one for my sons room!! love it, as usual.
ReplyDeleteI have a M wall in my kitchen and was just thinking the other day~that is going to be my thing I collect! Thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteGot lot's of wonderful ideas for Christmas decoration from your post.
