Decorating my washing machine!

If it's a flat surface or a blank space, I will decorate it! Seriously. Just ask Juan Patient-Husband.

So it stands to reason my new washing machine was doomed the day it was delivered. Talk about a blank canvas!

What follows is its wordless (almost) story.

Pantries across from washing machine. 

Notice almost secret sliding door to master closet.

Doomed washer!

Designing on my Mac.

Cutting on my Silhouette Cameo but you could also
use individual press-on letters.

This is called "weeding." 

I use blue painter's tape for letter transferring. 

Use ruler, level, and pencil for proper placement.

And BINGO!

Another blank space conquered!

Second rule/wisdom is a family joke, 

which is why I like to make my own signs. 

Happy laundry day!

Want to have some fun?

I filched this idea from Malisa at The Renaissance Chick. I make no apologies for stealing. It was just so much dad-burned fun I wanted to share it with you...so it's your fault!

And anyway, Malisa won't care. It wasn't like I thieved her husband! Or her big white dog!

So go to the sites on the pictures and make some fun of your own!

If you see an eyechart like this at your doctor's office,
RUN!!!

Dead animals here live...OK, this one doesn't make much sense!

I first saw an "undulations ahead" sign in California and laughed my butt off!

It's a joke, Honey. Really, I'm kidding.
No, I haven't seen a lawyer...yet.

This medal goes to YOU if you leave a comment.

If you don't leave one, bugger off!

What can I say?

I'll skip to the dessert, thank you very much!

Awarding Good Writing...part one

I feel like a voyeur! I'm suppose to be deciding who will receive my Kreativ Blogger award but instead I got tangled up in the past posts of a couple of really good writers.

I feel like I'm outside their homes, peeking through foggy windowpanes. I watch them go room to room, pick up this topic and that, explore them, and gently place them down again, knowing them all the better and sharing that knowledge with me. I recommend you trek into their archives too.

The first writer to get my award is FringeGirl from The Domestic Fringe. She's already got this once but as far as I'm concerned, she needs to get it every post! She makes me laugh (out loud, like I'm watching Funniest Home Videos). She makes me think. She hasn't made me cry yet, but she's tried. I'm tough. (I'm thinking of the 401K sign here!)

FringeGirl hasn't been blogging long. My question is: If she's this good as a two-month old blogger, just think of the treat we'll be reading next year at this time!

The second writer for my award is Deb of DidDebDoIt. I'm SO jealous of her. Deb has Mondays. We all have Mondays, you might be thinking, but Deb has art Mondays with a group of like-minded artists. Yep, Deb makes me want to do my art again.

Deb's photography alone is worth the price of admission to her blog. OK, there's no admission price but there should be. Her written word is much deeper than mine. More introspective. More rewarding to the reader. I'm fluff; she's a thinker!

All this has nothing to do with the picture above, but I knew you wouldn't read this post without a photo! Renee gave me the sign this weekend. I placed it on the table and liked it so well that I think I'll keep it there, except for when I dust.

Like I ever dust!
