I Saw the Sign

March 23rd, 2011 @ 2:04 pm by Mrs. Elephant

And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign. Life is demanding without understanding…

I hope I’m not the only one thinking about that classic Ace of Base song right now. ;)

Some of the easiest DIY projects have been the signs for our various decor elements. Being able to cross anything off of the to-do list puts a huge smile on my face!

We now have signs for our photo booth,

flip flop baskets,

bar menus,

chair signs,

and our sparkler send off.

While I was at Michaels picking up scrapbook paper and spray adhesive for the signs, I also found plate stands to display our table names.

Are there any easy DIY projects you’re looking forward to checking off your list?

Oh, now I will be singing Ace of Base for the rest of the day!
The signs are lovely - I like the way the sparkler canisters and bar menus flip the blue/green arrangement.

I have so much to say about this post! So here we go:
1. I love Ace of Base and just had to play that song so I could listen to it while reading your post.
2. I’ve always admired how crafty you are and all this signage looks absolutely perfect
3. I have pretty much the exact same photo of me and my family in TnT. That was taken in Tobago right?

bar signs! Thank you for reminding me!

this weekend I hope to finish off the wedding window (idea stolen from this lovely sign), paint the mailbox that our cards will go in, and wrap up the bridesmaids gifts.

Yay, I’m so glad Ace of Base is gettin’ some lovin’ stuck in your heads today!

@Koala Bear: Good Eye! It was taken at the Coco Reef hotel in Tobago

@DisneyBride2Bee: I picked it up at Michael’s with a coupon. It’s actually a 2 box set if you’re on the look out, it comes with a similar box, just a little smaller

I, like DisneyBride2Bee, love the green box. Did you line it, or did it come pre-lined?
