        I put up a wall decal from targart. I guess when i put it on. A part of the e camr off the decal. The quote says "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away. Now it's "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breaf away" What do i do?. I spent a freaking $19 dollers on this and now it kind of ruined the decal. :/ What should i do. I looked over my floor to find the missing peice. But it's now where to be found ):

        I'd get some tracing paper and some carbon paper from the office supply store. trace the missing letter outline where one exists. align the trace where part of the letter is missing, slip some carbon paper behind it, and retrace, putting a paint line on the wall.

        now you need to get appropriate acrylic artists colors from an office or art store (small tubes OK, you are not using much) and mix colors to match what the thin vinyl letters on the wall are colored. paint within the lines to fill in the missing letter, and then wash off or paint over the carbon paper lines.

        repeat as needed.

        in my younger days, camping with the family, when we were scraping the back of the mini-fridge on the way home, Mom would say, "If it stays down, it's a meal."

        that's what I'ld like to decal the top of the wall over kitchen-dining dividing cupboards.
