As For Me and My House Sign



Today is my parent's anniversary! Last year they were down here visiting us on their 30th anniversary while we waited on Lola to arrive - she gave us a false alarm that sent them and my sister Jamie on their way a little earlier than needed. I am pretty sure I neglected to give them anything seeing how I was otherwise occupied. =) This year, though, I wanted to make them something for the new house they are building.








Have you ever wondered where Lillie and Lola are when I am taking pics? Generally just outside the shot. I often end up cropping little heads or arms out. =)






Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! I love you!

  5. This is a wonderful gift for your parents' new home; having moved 6 months ago to our new, downsized home, I know a just-right housewarming gift is so appreciated to make a house feel like a home. The verse is well-chosen!

  8. Jen,

    That sign is SUCH a perfect gift for your parents. So awesome.

    And yes, I had always wondered about the girls.....lol would LOVE to see outtake shots of little bits of them in various shots one day, it would be a really cute post that one day they would love to see, too. I think it would make your readers laugh and enjoy that "not everything" is always so perfect, haha.

    Hugs.

    1. I do actually take quite a few of the pictures during Lola's nap time - when it is of a whole room. If it's just a little section then I can often sneak it in while they are playing. =)

  18. Jennifer what a lovely anniversary gift for your folks to hang in their new home. I love it!
    You have the most beautiful children. I always thought you took all your lovely pics when they were napping. You're good if you can take good pics with them just underfoot. : )
    Happy Anniversary to your folks.

  21. What a blessing it is to celebrate your parents' anniversary. Congratulations. The sign is a lovely, perfect present; and the girls are as adorable as ever. I also have to crop out little ones constantly, but food shots are the worst- there are always sweet little chubby fingers sneaking their way into the frame. :) Have a lovely day.

  25. Beautiful sign! I love the weathered look and the hooks, making it very utilitarian at the same time.

    1. Hi - We did sell a different version of the sign this summer but it didn't do very well so we probably won't be making this one.
