“I have a microwave fireplace in my house.
The other night I laid down in front of the fire for the evening in two minutes.”
- Stephen Wright

Two years ago, while re-purposing our guest room to host a French High School Student for two weeks, I hopped on the Quotes on the Walls bandwagon. Looking for something friendly to replace a series of five floral papers in marching frames, I turned to the computer. My tween opted in and (for free!) created a kicky set of letters for us to spell out, "L-A-U-G-H."
Together, we pulled the decorative floral papers out of their frames, slipped her "L-A-U-G-H" letters in and...voila! Très bon.
Can't remember when they were removed from the guest room to rest upon the mantel, but they have been living there happily ever since...
Amusant :)
