Laugh Often - Love Deeply

Every time my mom is over she is eying my "Coffee Corner" sign and requested one for Christmas.  She doesn't have a coffee corner and so I needed to come up with something along the same lines but different so this is what I made:

I can't wait to give it to her.  I know she's going to love it as much as I do.  Now, I hope she doesn't see this before Christmas...don't you tell her!!

If you want to know how I made this, here's a little tutorial:
I took a recycled piece of decking and randomly dry brush painted it black.

Then I mixed black and red paint together and dry brush painted over the black.

I made stencils on my Cricut and then painted the letters white.

After everything dried, I sanded the whole thing to give it the rustic look.

I attached the star in the center.  I had salvaged it from a broken plaque.
That's how you do it...I will probably be making me one like this soon.  I think laughing often and loving deeply is the only way to go!

Blessings,
