A Quick DIY

Have I ever told you how much I love Pinterest? The other night it cut my work load for a project down to nothing and I thought I'd share in case any one else is having the same problem.

For some reason, our house tends to be the hot spot for solicitors. There's more salespeople knocking at my door than I can shake a stick at! The other night I had had enough and decided we needed a sign to ward off all solicitors. I looked around on the internet, at first only finding fancy signs like this one:

This was a problem for two reasons: first, it was boring and ugly, and second, it was so boring and ugly, it might be overlooked and ineffective.

I decided I would make my own instead and went to Pinterest for inspiration. That's when I found these lovely FREE printables for such a task:

This meant I could now spend my extra time working on some other projects we have going on around the house! After about 5 minutes of cutting and pasting, we had a sign that was attractive, would stand out, and most notably, not clash with our ugly front door! Now we wait and see if it's effective. The silence will be music to my ears!

Pinterest is certainly becoming my cure-all and I wouldn't have it any other way. If you're having any sort of problem, do yourself a favor and get on Pinterest!

I know I've been absent quite a while, I hope to be back this week with a little view of what has been going on in my life and all the lessons I'm learning!
