Last Thursday as I was leaving work, I looked at the rear bumper on my car and wished for a new one. I had parking stickers from three years ago still reminding me of the good old days at Tuscany and Autumn Winds that were peeling off in shreds. They looked so tacky! I have a hard time putting stickers on my car in the first place, and to have a huge sticker that says "Rexburg Housing" on your bumper is quite tragic, in my opinion. I continued on my way home thinking of ways I could get those pesky stickers off, but couldn't come up with anything I hadn't already tried.
A few minutes later, I found myself peacefully stopped at a light on State Street....but not for long. I was rear-ended. Lame! We exchanged info and were on our way. Good news: no injuries. Bad news: broken bumper.
I dropped my car off yesterday morning and picked it up this afternoon. Now, less than a week later, I have myself a new bumper...sans parking stickers! Wishes do come true!
And because I like to put up pictures...just a couple from our little birthday party for Ms Claire last night!

They look like moon boots from the 80's :)
I'm obsessed with those letter magnets and I NEED to make some. Question.. Did you sew the magnets into the letters or are the stuck to the back? They are SOOO stinkin' cute!
Ohhhh Tuscany. I did love our times there. I wouldn't even mind the T sticker on my bumper...just because I have such found memories of those days.
*fond you know what I meant :)
Holy smokes..ya know.. getting rearended is not the worst thing..haha..remember I got a new bumper that way in Tuskanky! haha..and never want to lose the REX..i think you are a tuskanker for life. as you should
Audrey :: the magnets are the strong little magnets at Pebbles and they're sewn between the layers. I think in the tutorial it says to use batting, but JoAnn's was out, so I found some white fleece that worked perfect. It gets tricky using a sewing machine with the magnet in the middle because it gets in the way and it sticks to the presser foot...I'd highly recommend sewing by hand :)
Erin :: Rexburg for life! :) I just don't like it on my bumper! Remember when I told them I wouldn't put it on my car, but the office person said it would come right off? And remember how only a corner of it came off at the end of the semester? Down with Rexburg Housing! :)
Riss :: The T sticker came right off...it was the Rexburg Housing sticker that I still had on! I'm so glad it's gone!
