Licensed

So after three years living in Arkansas, I decided it was time to get an Arkansas license plate. But what to do with my Texas plates. I can't just throw them away that would be wrong on so many levels. Besides, I always wanted to have a Texas room in my house and it seems a bit less hokey now that I don't actually live in that state. Also, whatever I create can go in the Western room that my future unborn (don't think I'm weird, you know you've planned out your future childrens' rooms too) son will have. So in search of ideas I hit the web, the results were so so...

This one seemed awesome, but a little bit bigger of a project than I had originally planned. And I want to put the focus on my love affair with Texas, so the rest of the states just cannot be included. Next...


I must say, this puts a whole new meaning to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Not sure my guests would appreciate this sort of license plate "art". Next...

So cool, and probably what my future son would prefer in his room. But I think I would need way more license plates than two to create this one. Next...


Not really something I'm considering, but hello how cool is this? But the real winner is...

So the reason this one is perfect is pretty obvious. And I'm clearly going to need more license plates than the two I currently have. So I'm going to have to sweet talk my parents into giving me theirs, that will get me up to 6. And then I'm going to have to sweet talk my carpenter uncle into creating me the wood part of this since sawing and wood are not my speciality. But I'm pretty excited about the possiblities. And this will look perfect in my Texas guest room, I'll just have to make sure I don't get too themey with it but I can handle it.

Adios amigos off to get ready cause "I just got paid, it's Friday night..." Guess that song and I know we're meant to be friends.
