A Sign for my Mom- Happy Mothers Day!

I  have a sweet Mama. Anytime I say goodbye and love you... 
she always says, love you more.

She asked me to make her a sign for Mothers Day. And of course I did. I started with this piece of baseboard I found up in the attic. 
I decided to stain it.

I think this is the first time I've stained a piece of wood... 
I usually paint.

I stenciled the letters on and let them dry for about a hour. 
Tip- if the paint bleeds underneath the stencil, try scraping the paint off with a toothpick.

I then sanded over the letters for a rustic look.

I put a fine coat of Minwax over the whole board.

I think she'll be happy with it.
I love you Mama! Happy Mothers Day!

And Happy Mothers Day to all of you!
I hope you were inspired.
Thank you for stopping by Thrift My House.

    I love your sign.

    It has given me an idea. Whenever I do something for my daughter, I say, "don't say I never do anything for you!" It is an inside joke with us. I think I need to put that it a sign for her.

    Very sweet, I am sure she just loved it... I have some baseboard left over from our bathroom re do, may have to think of what to do with it, your stenciling is very good for all the layers you had to work with in the wood

    Sherry,
    I love learning of special sayings between Mom and Daughters, sweet. I know your Mom adored your sign as your gift, it's easy to purchase a present but when it's handmade from the heart the gift is priceless.
    Sherry I want to thank you for visiting me and leaving behind such a sweet comment.
    xx,
    Vera

    That is just the best Sherry! I love that you were able to recycle and I have to say your stencil work is pretty amazing. So hard to do on a "not flat surface"! Love that saying too! Hope you had a fantastic Momma's Day!

    What a great idea to use what you already had, Sherry! I'm sure your Mom was happy with this "sign" of affection from her sweet daughter.
    Have a fun week.
