Toy Personalization with Vinyl

 With the weather finally improving we went and bought Lauren her birthday present. 
(Yeah, we know it's in February but I didn't want this in my living room for 3 months, would you?)
 
I hate Cozy Coupes.  Mostly due to the ugly color combo. 
Lauren LOVES hers and calls it her "Doozy Doupe."
But I needed it to be cute and stand out from the other 18 on our street.  
"Girl it up" a little if you will. 
 
 Ta-DAAAA!!
I emailed my dear friend, Shelley over at House of Smith's or Wonderfully Wordy.
We aren't really dear friends, but we will be someday I'm sure. 
I'm totally infatuated with her blog.
Which made Dan say "That woman is never to set foot in my home."
I think someone might be scared I'm dreaming up more projects...
 
 I picked out some vinyl and TWO days later LuLu was humming "Don't cha wish your doozy doupe was hot like mine?"
 
 So cute!  It was so easy!!
I love that it looks more girlie and now it won't get confused with the others in the neighborhood.
I realize that this MAY bring down the resale value but it's worth it!


Go visit my other friend Chris for tons more of Show and Shares!
Is that the worlds worst grammar or what, which is funny since Chris is an English teacher.
I'm sure she'd give me a D- on this poorly written post! Ha!


ps...this is NOT a paid endorsement post.  I needed vinyl, saw that Shelley sold it and emailed her.  She was really that great to work with that I Linked back to her!

Okay, that is possibly one of the cutest things I've seen. Makes me wish Tay was 3 years younger and that she could have a pimped out ride.

all pimped out and ready to ride!

That is darling!! Absolutely adorable. My favorite part may just be the fact that Lulu calls it a "Doozy Doupe" though. I mean, really, how cute is that?!! :)

That is so stinkin' cute!
I hope it's okay that I shared this on my blog More! Than Scrap.
And I'm totally jealous for my daughter that yours has 18 neighbor kids to play with.
