Scrapwood sign~It’s a Spring Thing
~WOW WOW WOW~
I can’t quite seem to find the words to tell you how incredibly thankful we are for all of the prayers and encouragement for Grayson, THANK YOU! People near and far from around the world have been praying and God listened! Grayson was taken out of critical care yesterday, we are one step closer to going home!!! I promise to continue to keep everyone posted, from the bottom of our heart, thank you so much!
I have had this post scheduled before Grayson became ill and I am so glad I didn’t have to miss out on it. I am participating in It’s a Spring Thing with some of the most incredible bloggers out there! Mary Beth from Cupcakes and Crinoline started us off with a delicious looking Lemon and Blueberry Butter Cake. Yesterday Jennifer from Dear Lillie shared her beautiful tablescape all set for Spring with gorgeous rustic elements. Kristin from Simply Klassic Home will be sharing on Thursday followed by a ton of more talent you don’t want to miss!
A few weeks ago I decided it would be fun to make a welcome spring sign and display it by our front door. (I’ll be honest, it’s still sitting somewhere in the house right now)
I grabbed scrap wood out of the hubby’s woodpile and went to work.
I found a small piece of wood that would work to attach them altogether, I just sawed it in half and used screws to attach the boards.
I Filled the holes with wood filler and sanded over the whole piece to make it smooth.
I painted on a coat of ASCP from a mix I used awhile back.
I free handed some words and graphics and painted them in, thank goodness the paint hides my horrible writing.
You can’t beat free!

On March 18th we’ll all be hosting one HUGE It’s a Spring Thing Linky Party where you can link up your spring and Easter posts. We have been busy pinning over at It’s a Spring Thing on pinterest and we can’t wait to start pinning new projects once the party is live!
~Have a fabulous day friends~
I am so, so thankful to God that Grayson is improving…definitely the power of God and an answer to so many prayers!
I love your scrapwood spring sign…the perfect way to welcome spring.
Big HUGS to you and yours,
Mary Beth
Love you sweet friend! You are constantly in my prayers. ADORE this sign! It’s just so “springy!”, which I need right now with 5 inches of snow on the ground. Enjoying, so much, partying with so many fabulous gals!

Best news ever about Grayson!! That is so wonderful Kristin. Hallelujah!! Hope you can all be home soon and properly enjoy your sweet Spring sign. Having your family all together again soon is I am sure your fondest wish 🙂
I was so so happy to hear the news about Grayson!! I am sure Grayson has been so comforted having his loving Momma and Dad near him all the time. Love your pretty Spring sign. Pretty soon you’ll need to make a Welcome Home sign for your sweet boy! Hoping it’s a good day for all of you Kristin. XO
So pretty my friend! I’m so happy to hear that Grayson is doing better!!
WONDERFUL NEWS!!! GOD IS GREAT!
That is really, really cute and I am so glad that your son is doing better. I’ll bet you can’t wait to get him home-xo Diana
I am so thrilled that Grayson is on his way home – so so happy for you and your family! Love this pretty spingy sign Kristin! The colors are perfect for this time of year!
What wonderful news… and your Spring sign is adorable!
So good to hear that Grayson is close to coming home. Prayers are being answered. Blessings, Patti@OldThingsNew
I’m glad to read good news about Grayson. I hope he’ll keep doing well.
The BEST news ever about Grayson! God will continue to look after you all. Also, FABULOUS sign – really loving it and the colours are so pretty.
To heck with Spring, I think you should add a little something to your sign in the next few days….. Grayson’s name with ‘home ‘in front of it over the word Spring. “Welcome Home Grayson” your mom’s blogging friends are thrilled.

That is awesome! I’m so glad that Grayson is improving. I’ve been praying for him as well as strength for you and the rest of the family to be able to get through this. Having a sick child tends to make us feel helpless. Again, so glad he is improving.
That sign is very cute.
Praising God with you this morning as I read this news about Grayson. I pray for continued healing and strength and thank God in advance for it!!
Your sign is beautiful and your news is FABULOUS!!
I am so happy to hear Grayson is getting better. I can’t believe how much I have been thinking about him – and I don’t even know you! Stay strong!
