diy wood sign

we salvaged this wood from the tornado so we wanted to use it to make something special.

i don't know where i first saw the wood wall art, but i love them!

i cut these small planks to nail the boards into the planks for stability.

i sanded the boards to make them smooth before stenciling a Bible verse with these bad boys (from michael's)

so here's the low down. don't run to your Bible as you read this post...

i somehow messed up twice (yes, not once but twice) and got to stenciling before I knew what was next. it was really funny, but you had to be there.

the heart of the verse is the same, its just the alana version.

after stenciling i painted polyurethane on top to seal the wood. what i liked about this kind is that there is no shine, it just made the wood a little darker and the words stand out.

the final product again.

kennedy prints.

earlier this fall we bought two prints from kennedy prints at the kentuck art festival in town.
they have been sitting in their bag taunting me ever since...

finally we got around to framing and hanging them last night. woo-hoo for another accomplished task.

the green one says "coffee taste best with a friend"

the brown one says "how can you know Jesus when you can't wring a thank you note."

on a different note...what do you think that means?

justin and i were discussing it and we really don't know. would love to hear what you think the quote means!

 the prints are a little bit smaller than 16x20 so i just flipped over the flower insert and used the back as my mat.

finished project.

no more taunting.

so...what do you think?
