Writings on the Wall – the Blog

Archive for August, 2009

Are these strictly for Halloween?

You decide.

Oy, what a week!
Our county fair began today which means I’ve been working like a crazy woman making posters and banners and all manner of things for people who are taking part in the parade or showing livestock or running a commercial booth.
Around these parts, the fair is a really big deal and I’m glad ‘cuz it’s kept me pretty busy. Tomorrow I’ll have a chance to go indulge in some fair food. I hope the dutch oven people are there… love the dutch oven taters.  Yummy!

Along with the fair, we also have school starting next week, so I’m designing a few things for classrooms as well and making banners and decals for the sports teams. Whew!

And… once the kids go off to school, moms take a deep breath and take on a craft project or two. I’m happy to help with that as well.

I’m still having fun with words in groups, so today I’m gonna throw out a little something for Halloween.
Again, these are cut in a 12 x 12 grouping (all one color) for $10.00.  Try it in black, orange or purple vinyl and stick ‘em everywhere!

Often I am asked for small words. Just a single word that will fit on a wooden block, or a glass jar. Sometimes just a single word is needed on a picture frame. Maybe around a mirror…

So, how about a whole sheet of words? Cut them apart and stick ‘em anywhere and everywhere.

This cute sheet is 13″ x 12″ inches and sells for only $10.00.
I’m showing it to you in black, but you can choose from any of the colors that are offered over on Writings on the Wall. Order a couple of word blocks in a couple of different colors and mix it up a little.

Sorry… the entire sheet of words is all one color of your choice and there’s no changing up the fonts on these little darlins. However, you can custom order any words you want in any font and color and size you want.
We’re just that way.

As for the rest of you darling people who were kind enough to comment and enter the drawing, I’ll be contacting you as well to ask for your mailing address.

No, this isn’t spam or even remotely spam, but I would like to send along a little something to all of you.  So, I’ll contact you and if you’d like a little freebie in the mail, get back to me with a mailing address.

Ahhhh…. it’s Friday. I’ve got some fun projects in the works including something that’s a step by step so you’ll see how some of the magic is done around here. Halloween stuff too!

Have a great weekend!

Save the Earth

Designed this little gem the other day and I just had to add it to the collection o’ stuff that I’m sure folks just can’t live without.

But then I thought- not everyone loves coffee. That just happens to be something that I’m obsessive about. And I’m sure – as hard as it is to sure of something like this – there are people who DON’T love chocolate. It’s almost unthinkable, but still….

So, what are the things YOU love? What would be your two items, your reasons for saving the planet? It doesn’t even have to be food, although this would work well on the kitchen wall with choices like Pizza and Ice Cream and Toast and Pie and….

*Disclaimer:
This is all in fun. We all know that there are many much more serious reasons to take care of this beautiful world that we inhabit. Please don’t give me a lecture. On second thought, if you feel that you must… knock yourself out.

Now then…
