Giving Thanks with a Give Away & Nester


Last year around this time, my husband and I decided to make a Family Rules sign for our home.
When we finished it, I posted it on the blog as a DIY project.
We were shocked when emails started pouring in asking if we'd sell them.
Happily, we sold our first one last February and we've been consistently selling them ever since.

I'm a word girl, and if I could, I'd plaster words in every room of our house.
Come to think of it, I think I do have them in every room of the house.
We love the idea of having the things that we value as a family ever-present in our home.
I keep telling my boys if they don't stop burping at the table, I'm gonna make a sign just for them!

It's November 1st, and I can hardly believe it.
Our hearts are so full of gratitude to God for his provision to our family.
It's been wonderful for us to have this to do together as a couple.
And, our children have seen it as a gift from God's hand.

To show our THANKS, we would love to give a family rules signs to one of you!
You will be able to customize your sign with the values that matter to your family.
You can choose between a family rules sign like the one pictured in this post
OR
you could customize your very own Christmas sign!!
