Super Easy & Cheap Wood Signs

 Finished product I made for less than $5

If you are local to me, you are probably familiar with P G Dunn.  They sell tons of blank plaques of varying sizes, usually for just a few bucks.  I saw instructions on line for making my own signs like you see at some many stores now.

First print off a free printable phrase or word you like online.  I downloaded some free fonts to make the Grateful, Thankful, Blessed sign.  The others I found the phrases on line.

 Turn the paper over & rub charcoal where the letters were.

Put the paper charcoal side down on the sign where you want it.  Trace over the letters with pen.


 After you trace over the words/phrases

Fill in the tracing with markers or paint pen

  My 9 year old & I made this one.

New Traveling with Deals Blog


Check out my travel deals blog. I'll be adding more posts. They are on the blog.  Working on getting the post to the FB page - Traveling with Deals.  Like the page to keep up to dates.

If you go to the blog, you can click on the label of whatever city or state you are looking at to see what we have done there. You can also sort by hiking, waterfalls, zoo, science, cruise for ideas.

I’m not a travel expert but I often have people ask me where to go or what to do. I’ve had this blog for 10 years so I just removed the family posts & added a few travel ideas.
If you are planning a trip this summer, check it out.
