New Halloween Sign

I just got done making my latest vinyl craft design. I love how it turned out!




Here is how to make it:
1. You will need the vinyl decal, available here. If you have wood already, great. If not, you can order that too with the vinyl.
2. Paint the wood orange. Allow to dry. Sand edges to make it look "roughed up" (you'll also need to sand the edges so the stain can turn the edges black).
3. Apply vinyl. Be sure to measure from the same letter on both sides (measure the p's or the k's, for example).
4. Quickly rub stain all over wood and vinyl. Then rub with a clean paper towel to wipe off access stain and to lighten the stain on the wood. I used ebony colored stain (black), so it looks more Halloween-y.
5. Hang for Halloween.

Andrew - SWIM TEAM FUNDRAISER

FUNDRAISER - Andrew is on the Lehi High School swim team. They are having a fundraiser on Friday, October 1st. They will swim laps for 2 hours - going after 200 laps. This starts at 10 pm and goes on throughout the night. Andrew needs pledges (donations). You can pledge a per lap amount or a set amount. For example: If you pledge - say - 10 cents a lap, that would be a $20 donation to him. Andrew uses this money to buy his swim team apparel, gear, and it pays for the trips they take to race in invitations (they are all over Utah - including the biggy in St. George). If you would like to help him earn money and make a pledge for Andrew, let me know. He is hoping to raise about $300. You can send your pledges to me and I will get them to the school. Thanks everyone for helping Andrew!
