BELLE CUISINE DE CAMPAGNE FRANCAIS

These summer days have flown by.  But, this morning I finished the sign for Kimberly who was my 200th FOLLOWER GIVEAWAY winner.  

At the end of June, I posted her "win" here:

"So, the OTHER winner of a hand-painted sign is:

Kimberly of KBUNTON0824

who would like a sign to say:

belle cuisine de campagne français"

First I painted the door in Annie Sloan's "Old White".  For a while I felt that ASCP was over-rated.  I do think that flat paint can suffice with many projects.  But the wording went onto the Annie Sloan paint beautifully and I'm back to really liking it.   

 So I transferred the chosen wording onto the sign using a printout of the saying, covering the back of the words in pencil lead, laying it on the door, going over the words, and painting with a fine brush.

 Kimberly requested red and white which matches her kitchen.

 After sanding the door here and there . . .

 I wiped on some Old English Dark Scratch cover, and Minwax Finishing Wax (also dark).

First to dry and then off to Kimberly!

Congratulations Kimberly! 

The other winner, my good friend Jan, will have her sign hand-delivered in October when we visit her in McKinney!

200 FOLLOWER GIVEAWAY!

I'm getting close to 200 followers and that means it's time for another GIVEAWAY.  This time, the GIVEAWAY is a sign (garden or otherwise) that will be made to order.

From this . . .                        to this, maybe?

1.  To enter, you must be a follower.
2.  Then, you just need to leave a comment on this post
letting me know you're following, and your idea for a sign.

 So, wander around the Graphics Fairy (the best place to find a good design) and find something that is perfect for you.  I'll be using the front panel in this picture - it's about 13" x 14" so keep that in mind when choosing your design.  Look for something that would fit best on a "square-ish" background - like this bird from the Graphics Fairy.  I could put a word, phrase, or family name underneath the bird - or maybe your street address?  You choose!  However, if choosing a graphic is too overwhelming (as my good friend Jan has told me it is!), then just tell me a general idea and I'll find a graphic for you! No worries!
