Welcome to all the KevinandAmanda.com blog readers! Good luck on this week's sign giveaway!
I'm so enjoying reading your comments and hearing about which signs you'd love to have! Remember, each sign is custom made, so the sky is the limit! It can say anything you wish and if you're looking for something even more custom (not on the general order form), just let me know and we'll design something perfect together!
A few weeks ago I got to work on a very cool sign project. My customer wanted something unique to use as a backsplash for an outdoor kitchen he was building. They tried the store-bought vinyl letters with the quote "may all who enter as guests, leave as friends", but weren't happy with the quality, so they commissioned me to paint it for them. It was a tricky project, with several layers of color and different fonts, but it was so fun to see the finished project come together:
June is deep into the heart of wedding season. How many weddings are you attending this summer? Do you have a gift picked out yet?
I tell you what. Let me make it easy on you. Give them a personalized sign from "Signs by Andrea".
What's a new bride getting on her wedding day? -- A new name! One that she'll be proud to display in her new home.
Even better...the groom will be thrilled to see something with HIS name on it (the poor groom gets left out a lot in all those boring houseware wedding gifts).
Plus, a family name sign can also become a cherished family piece that can be passed down to their children as a token of their history and heritage.
I told you. It's the PERFECT wedding gift!
Place your order today to give the most memorable wedding gift they'll receive. I'll even ship directly to the couple if you'd like!
This is one of the signs I made a couple of weeks ago...a birthday present for a 12 year old girl, who just got a brand new bedroom:
Side one -- Her first name painted with her middle and last name as patterned paper overlay:
And the "fun" side two - Twilight (ooh, don't we ALL love Twilight?) with a patterned paper overlay:
and my favorite touch...the silver blood drops---oooh, chilling! :)
The cool part about this sign is that it can be hung on the wall and flipped to whatever sign she's "feeling" that day OR you could use the eye hooks to hang it from hooks & chains from the ceiling to enjoy both sides at the same time.
We held a silent auction at church this past weekend to raise money for a mission trip to Honduras and I was shocked and flattered to create quite the bidding war for one of my personalized signs. It turns out three people bid $95 for a personalized sign! Who am I to stand in the way of worthy cause fundraising? Instead of donating one, I just went ahead and donated three signs to the top bidders. I'm happy to help raise money for a great mission.
So, as a result, I've been a painting fool this week getting the auction signs done as well as some regular orders (providing immediate confirmation of the old "give and you shall receive" mantra).
Here are a couple that I can share now...the others will have to wait since I believe they are suprise gifts!:
DIsciples Fellowship is doing a silent auction this weekend to raise money for a mission trip to Honduras. Last year, my cards were fought over by several bidders (yay!), so I had to submit another set this year. I used the beautiful Brook Collection from Crate Paper to make a set of 9 cards:
I'll also be donating a custom sign from Signs by Andrea. The weather is great again, wedding season is starting, and it's time to start painting some more signs!
