Guess the Epistle

Surprise!  OK well it isn't a surprise any more but it sure was the first time around.  Remember this, the big surprise makeover of the Master Bedroom?!?!  I did it all while my husband was away on a work trip.  I stayed up late into the night painting.  I recruited my neighbor to help me move furniture and when the hubs came home he was definitely surprised.

So here is your first hint...

  
Any guesses?  Does this help...

I simply used the cardboard letters from JoAnn which I know they intend for you to paper mache or paint or cover in some way but I loved the cardboard look and it totally ties into the...oh wait, sorry can't tell you that.  I mean I gotta keep some secrets!!!  Let's just say, it is all coming together (I love being devious!).  And in the mean time all you need to know is that I am...
