Vinyl Decals are now in the shop and my cousin is at Rodeo Drive

I feel like I've been neglecting my blog a bit lately.  I'd said it has to do with me working an entire week and the extremely spring like weather we've been having.  I also had a baby shower to help organize and go to on Saturday for my sister in law.  But...one thing that I haven't been neglecting lately is my shop.  I've added a few new cards (I posted one last week on here) and I also have been adding some vinyl window decals.
I just placed an order for a new shipment of vinyl that should be here by the middle of next week.
I'm starting slow as far as sizes for the vinyl decals.  I need to order some packaging materials because right now I can only accomadate for decals 6 inches or smaller.  If they're any bigger I have to take them to the post office and get something to put them in.  I'm planning on making a trip to office max or staples to check out some of their postal products.
I also am looking into buy an external hard drive.  Does anyone have any good advice as far as size and brand?!?  It's something that I really need to get soon.  With me making alot of vinyl art I'm really craming my hard drive full of stuff.  I obviously need to keep all that saved but I really don't want it on my laptop.  When August comes and I start school I want my laptop to have as much free space on it as possible so it works nice and fast while i'm at school.  So if you guys have any advice for me, please let me know. 
Whale.... (hehe) I'm off to watch a movie with my hubby.  Did I mention we got High Definition?  Let me just say its AMAZING!!!  It's not "iPhone Amazing"... like "i can't live without it" but it's definately great.  I've always squinted to be able to see the TV because I have crappy vision..but seriously now...I don't have to squint at all.  It's so crazy.  You should definately look into it.  DirecTV has a sale going on right now.. FREE Installation, FREE Equipment...only $9.99 a month. Pretty Sweet Deal!
Oh...and my little cousin, Derrik, is in Los Angles this week on Spring Break.  Today he texts me and says "Rodeo Drive Baby!!"  What a jerk!! I'm so jealous!! I've wanted to go there FOREVER! haha  I told him to be on the look out for paparazzi...because if you see them...you'll surely see someone famous.  I'm hoping he gets me a picture of Britney's Star. hehe  I also told him he should go up to some fancy shop on Rodeo Drive and do the whole "Mighty Ducks Skit" where the boys tell the people at the store their Aaron Spellings nephews and they get to go in and see all the models try things on and get free drinks and stuff. haha

Vinyl Wall Art Tutorial

Step One

Completely clean and dry wall area where vinyl image is to be placed. For best results do not use a a cleaner that will leave behind residue.  This is how your vinyl wall art will come shipped to you.

Note:: Please make sure you smooth over the transfer paper a few times to ensure that the vinyl wall art is still stuck to it good. I smooth over it many times before shipment, but its better for you to run over it a few times as well.

Step Two

Peel backing off vinyl slowly.

Step Three

Lightly place image on wall using a level to ensure correct placement.  Once image is in place, user applicator stick to burnish* vinyl onto wall. For best results overlapping strockes when burnishing.

*Burnishing is a rubbing or polishing action that used an applicator stick or squeegee to spread or apply the vinyl to the wall.

Step Four

Gently peel back transfer tape at a 45 degree angle. If vinyl starts to come off with transfer tape, lay area back down and burnish* again.

Step Five

After peeling away transfer paper check for any air bubbles that you may have between the wall and vinyl. If you don't have any then you are a very good at this..but if you do have a few bubbles.. don't worry. Just use the burnishing* method and try and smooth out any air bubbles you may have.
