Today is a very big day for me! I am guest posting on 2 different blogs!! Today you can find me at Randee’s Organized Chaos, and at My World Made By Hand! If you have a few minutes, please visit these ladies and check out their blogs, they are both VERY talented!!
Well, my theme for yesterday’s Pinterest Wednesday was Keep Calm, and so I couldn’t wait to show you this…
Keep Calm and Carry On
Isn’t she gorgeous?! Like I mentioned, she sold even before my show on Thursday night began, and I miss her! Looking at her was so soothing for me!
I might be making you tired of all my sign tutorials, so if you are new here, here are a couple other great tutorials to check out:
Fresh Cut Flowers and a Mason Jar
A few details about this one: I based the board in bright white. I applied vaseline in the areas I wanted easily distressed. I followed with a coat of Wythe Blue from Benjamin Moore. After transferring and painting the words and the crown on, I gave it a good sanding. the areas I had applied vaseline sanded really well, and blended the white and the turquoise beautifully. I rough sanded the words to age them a bit.
And Ta-Da!
Do you love it?? I can make more if you are interested! Find more info on my For Sale Page.
Even though I don’t have it on my wall anymore, I’m still trying to keep this as my motto, especially since my little 4-year-old redhead is being a little more trying than… well, what can I say?? I’ll just say she thinks she is the mother of the house lately. So yesterday I renewed our membership to the zoo and took the 3 kids there for a few hours. We had such a wonderful time, like we always do when we get in the fresh air for a while… until the second we got back in the truck and the screaming and tears and fights resumed. Dear Lord, help me to keep calm and carry on! Amen.
Let me know what you think, and thank you so much for reading!!
