Here's Your Sign!

I had a giveaway not so long ago that was sponsored by April at Say it on a Sign. She is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. She did signs for both of our mothers for Mother's Day, and then we had this little beauty done for our home.



We just love the look of it and can't wait to find a wall for it to call home. It has such great character in the distressing.



So thanks April for the signs. They are so awesome and we are so happy to have them!

Then there is Alicia. She is the definition of random acts of kindness. Not because I asked, and not because someone told her it would be a good idea, but just out of the goodness of her heart she handmade and sent us this great sign.



Make sure that if you havent alreay been to her site or read about her daughter Caroline you do so soon. They are in need of all of our prayers.



So from all here at the Fort, thanks to April and Alicia for the great signs they are truly beautiful. True reflections of the people they are made by.

Love and Prayers,

Say it on a Sign Giveaway Winners!!

Today Taylor and Will drew names for the sign giveaway. I wanted to again thank April at Say it on a Sign for sponsoring this giveaway. Again make sure you visit her site, she has really great handmade signs that cannot be beat in price. The same type signs can be found at Hobby Lobby for triple the cost.

Please play close attention in this video to my son and daughter. I normally wouldn't give you a look into such things, however I want you to see Fort Thompson for how it is everyday. My son says in the beginning that he just poo pooed, and my daughter is making sure by holding her nose that I know about it. I normally would have edited this out and just shown the announcements of the winners, however I thought this would add some additional humor to your day. I had much difficulty trying to keep my composure through the entire thing. Also pay attention to my daughter at the end who chooses to throw in a few modeling poses of her own. And now for your WINNERS!!!!









So if you are one of our Lucky Winners please email or leave a comment with your contact info so I can get it to April. If no repsonse is received within 48 hours another name will be drawn. Thanks for playing!

Love and Prayers,

Signs Say Giveaway!

I have had the honor of getting to know one of the sweetest people you will ever meet thru Fort Thompson. Her name is April Woosley and her blog is Say-it-on-a-Sign, and she is sponsoring this great giveaway! She makes custom antique signs that look just like they jumped straight out of the 30's or 40's. I remember wondering when I first saw them how in the world she does it. Of course I now know however I am sworn to secrecy so don't ask.

Take a peek at these awesome examples:

These signs are all handmade from the distressing, painting, sanding, staining and then repeating the process over and over until it is just right. April will not leave a sign until it looks just like it did indeed jump right out of the 30's as if in a magic time machine. Each sign is done in the size, colors, and custom text of your choosing within reason. They are all also wall ready with sawtooth hangers. She does not even start a sign until it is ordered. You can always go with one of the ones she already has made if decisions aren't your thing. However, customization to me is one of the things that makes this so attractive. So make sure that you hop over to Say-it-on-a-Sign and check them out. April has tons of signs listed on her blog. Make sure to leave her a comment, and tell her Tim at Fort Thompson sent ya!

There will be not only one winner, but two just to increase your chances!
