Everybody loves Summer and Photos and Pretty things

Ahhhh…. summertime.

I’m reminded of a song from my Sunday School days:

Oh what do you do in the summer time? Do you  (I can’t remember the list of things, but it was long and made up of stuff that kids do in the summer.)
Oh what do you do in the summer time? Is that what you do? So do I!

Ballgames, camping, working in the garden, slapping mosquitoes, endless hours laying by the pool waving for the cabana boy to refresh your juice drink…

Family reunions. Weddings.
Is that what you do? So do I!

We put together these two bits of gorgeousness for our friend Trudi. One for Mother’s Day and the other for her mother in law’s 99th birthday.
Trudi brought us a big stack of really cool photos to look at, but she already knew which ones she wanted to use.  So we scanned them and  arranged them and made a nice little montage with an antique background  for each block. Then we printed and mounted them to the blocks.
The photos were not originally sepia toned, but by tinting them it made them blend together better.
(Pay no attention to that messy worktable in the background.)
Wouldn’t these make a wonderful giveaway or presentation for a family reunion?
How about a wedding?  Anniversary party?

Now that you’re all inspired to make something like this for your own family, click over to Writings on the Wall to this page right here and see how we can make this happen for you.

Glass blocks ain’t just for Christmas, you know!

Bright red leaves, chilly nights, crispy crunchy apples… must be fall

Happy Fall Ya’ll!

I’m pulling my nose out of the website project to share some ideas for fall.

It’s my favorite time of year. All the good fresh produce available both at the grocery stores and in the roadside stands. Makes me feel healthy just thinkin’ about it.
I’ve eaten so much corn on the cob this year, I’m surprised I don’t have a yellowish caste to my skin. Really… I ate a lot.

So just to please Susan, who was so very pleasant on the phone this afternoon, I’m posting these 3 three little beauties.
The fonts I’ve used are a couple that I really love, are not currently shown on the website because they only work well for certain things – namely large and simple things.

harvestPerfect for autumn decor, this is sized to fit an 8 x 24 board. For those who want to put it directly on the wall, the exact size is 6 x 22.

Vinyl letters only is $10.00. The finished, ready to hang on your wall, sign sells for $25.00.

gratitudeIt’s not just for Thanksgiving. I need one of these where I can look at it every day.
This one is also 6 x 22 inches.
Vinyl letters only is $10.00. Finished sign is $25.00

give_thanksI love a nice Old English font!
Size is 4 x 34 – perfect for a 6 x 36″ board.
Vinyl letters only: $10.00, and the complete ready to hang sign is $28.00.

I’ve had several people inquiring as to whether we will do custom designs.

Heck Yeah!
That’s what we do here.  You choose your quote… it doesn’t have to be something from our website, you choose your font and color and tell me how big you need it to be.  It’s helpful if you have already measured the area or surface that you are applying the letters to, so that I can make it fit absolutely perfectly for you.
