The neighborhood the paints together stays together

It's a painting party! Last year, I had an 8 foot sign in front of my house that said,"May your days be merry and bright."

The one thing I have been truly blessed with is fantastic neighbors. They are caring, wonderful people. We decided this year it would be fun to do the song White Christmas all the way up the block...

So at my house

paint brushes in hand.

6 of my favorite neighbors did the print, pencil and paint method. 
on plain old 8' x 12' pine boards, base coated with flat white. We sealed them with an all weather sealer after. The nice thing is, even though we get  lit of snow, it's not really all that wet out.

We painted, laughed and drank. I hope the letters are fairly straight~!

It was signs everywhere! Some of us are hanging ours, others are putting them in the ground.

 There's nothing like your neighbor walking home with a 10 foot piece of lumber at 11:00 at night. We should have them up this weekend so I can take you on the neighborhood tour!
