My parents just happen to be a set of those over the top, involved and spoiling type of grandparents to my kiddos. How lucky are my kids, right? This is the perfect little gift to give to those proud grandparents in your life!
Size: 5.5" x 18"
Wood stain: Jacobean by Minwax
Paint: White by Apple Barrel
Clips are mini black clothes pins from Michael's
I also used just plain old hot glue to attach the clothes pins to the front.
See the start to finish of this wood sign in the video linked below.
If there was one thing I would make for my son, over and over again, it would be this bike wash. He is OBSESSED with it! He is obsessed with real car washes in general. When this idea popped up on Pinterest I knew this would make the perfect birthday gift for him!
His birthday was in April, and it was still warming up so we left this put together in our basement for him to run laps through without water. When it warmed up, he had a total ball with it! I just love seeing his smile!
After looking at a few different designs we went for THIS ONE because it had a very good detailed set of instructions (that were printable) for us to follow.
My hubby cut all the pipes with the miter saw, which was super quick and easy. Make sure you have all the connections and it goes together like building blocks! We did add adhesive to the bottom connections because it kept getting bumped and would come apart, but we want to be able to take some of it apart for storage over the colder months, so we didn't glue the entire thing together.
Here is a video of us putting the pieces together, drilling the holes, and of course our kiddos breaking it in.
JUST KIDDING! I think everyone has a love/hate relationship with glitter. Some see glitter and RUN. Others take on the challenge. As much of a clean freak as I am, glitter is just too good not to use on my crafts!!!!!!!
This craft is a fav. Mason jars in general are one of my favs. Combine the two and it's magic!
I used a combination of Mod Podge, extra fine glitter, and a Krylon spray sealer to make these jars. Use your imagination and create them however you want! Colors, uses, designs - skys the limit!
I created a tutorial video to show you step by step how to make these fun and glittery jars!
This sign reads so true! There's nothing in life more valuable then the love of our family.
I recreated this saying for a friend who is giving it at as a gift. I think this sign would make an amazing gift for any family!
The rustic style is absolutely my favorite favorite favorite too. Super rustic, super chippy, super aged, I love all the things that aren't perfect about this sign. As a very polished person (I like to think so anyway), it is odd to me that this style would appeal to me. But I always pair these rustic elements with very clean up accessories such as white porcelain vases and newer items to give my space an eclectic feel.
Watch how this pallet signs comes together from start to finish in the video I created below.
I think every home should be filled with inspirational quotes, scripture (if you so choose), and things that motivate you on a daily basis. Our days can get pretty crazy. From school, to sports, to general toddler wildness, work, etc. It's always nice to look up and see those reminders.
This wood pallet sign was sort of involved. Anytime it's a "pallet" it's usually a built sign to start with. Then there is distressing of the wood. And also the adding of the scripture, which is several steps in itself.
So take a look at the video below to see everything that goes into creating a piece of art! I have to say, I do wish these signs only good 5 1/2 minutes to really make, lol! So many ideas so little time!
Sometimes the most simple signs have the biggest impact.
Grateful, Thankful, Blessed
I hope we all sort of feel this way at least, MOST of the time. Sometimes we need to sit down and remind ourselves that we are truly blessed and should be thankful for the things we have. Only then can we be grateful!
This wood sign is 5"x20" and was made for a friend of mine. However, I also have this saying in my own home, just as a reminder.
I used Minwax brand wood stain in Jacobean color (MY FAVORITE!). It is a reclaimed piece of wood from a pallet and I just LOVE the rustic look that pallet wood gives to every wood sign. Beautiful textures!

This wood sign was made for a client of mine that is also a great friend! I think that these handmade wood signs add that perfect touch to your kitchen. Adding a one of a kind piece of art your home is what makes it yours! When you can design it, choose the colors, and choose the details, you end up with a perfect beautiful space!
This phrase "Life is short, lick the bowl" should speak to everyone in one way or another. Enjoy life! Do what makes you happy! Indulge!
