i made this sign for my son and his buddies. they rent an old victorian home with a great wrap around porch. the porch is the "spot". when their friends come over the porch is where they all hang-out. the wood is left over from a vintage headboard i redesigned. the paint is annie sloan chalk paint. i used paris grey, louis blue & old white. i love this paint. the letters are stenciled on, i used my cricut create and the font is don jaun font. the font color is graphite by annie sloan. so, my "boys" loved the sign. i didn't put the hanging hardware on it. i will leave that up to them how they are going to hang the sign. i also purchased paint brushes annie sloan sells. i'm luv'in them too. go check out ANNIE SLOAN i think you will enjoy!!!

You're a Grand Ole Flag


You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 
Keep your eye on the grand old flag. 

God Bless America!!
