| I was inspired, by the following BHG photo, to make this vintage looking sign, so I went to our local Safeway to check the dumpster area for an old pallet. |

The perfectly wonderful, shabby pallet.
An example of what my piece looked like before I painted it. (Forgot to get a picture.)
After sanding the coat of paint.
I followed this easy tutorial from Homespun Happenings and printed my letters, then colored the back of the sheet of paper with charcoal pencils.
Traced them onto the board,
then began outlining,
and filling in the letters with a paint pen.
SO EASY...
...that I'm gonna make more!
After more sanding to shabby up the letters.
It only took a few hours to make!
Here is another one I whipped up last week for our house in Canada. This one was made with vinyl lettering...still easy, but not near as CHEAP!
Have I ever written that I get a thrill from getting a bargain? See ya next time...
