Mindi,
I love your Dance in the Rain sign! I would put Grateful, Thankful, Blessed. I sold my original sign and I want to do another smaller one for my new and improved kitchen!
Yes, that contact paper trick has saved me tons and tons of money. We use the same wood grain kind. I like the smaller boards added in to give this sign a more "patched up" look. I've never done it this way, but you've inspired me.
thanks for a great tutorial!
