We have a Just Stickem Up Winner! Thanks so much for participating. Make sure you visit this fantastic ebay store! Congratulations Marcy of The Glamorous Life! Stay tuned for another AMAZING giveaway on Tuesday next week.
I love me some words. I surround myself with them. That's why I'm kinda wordy.
My home tells a story. Literally.
Here is what it is saying:
"Welcome to my .
I'd like to say it's , but we live in the city.
One day though, we plan to and have
some land, but for now, this is .
You may .
Our started
.
We produced one strong girl who is reminded daily
, whether she is currently grounded or not.
Our son, sandwiched between two sisters feels like walking the plank some days.
His heart sings this song .
And the baby doesn't go to bed without saying .
I am the , but I do not
it.
But even I have to remember the motto of our home: .
And .
We and we
.
We are THAT family. !
Many of my wall words came from this fabulous online ebay store called Just Stickem Up. This is the newest craze in home decor. And you know me, I'm cutting edge in that department! This is an affordable way to jazz up a room and to make a statement. These are also so easy to apply and remove!
Just Stickem Up has generously offered to give a reader a $30 gift certificate. Go, look around and enjoy all their fun sayings. Come back here and leave a comment about what you want your walls to say! Contest ends tonight (Wednesday) at 10 pm CST.

Wow! I have not seen these before. There were so many I liked... Welcome to the Zoo seems appropriate. I also liked As for Me and My House. Great tip! I hope I win!!
Yippee! I get to be the first one. I LOVE the sign "You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit." I NEED that sign badly. :)
I love the "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
Ok, I would so cutomized one to say your house motto. "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit." It would go so well with my "NO WHINING" sign.
I love the Splish Splash one and the Grow old along with me, but I think I am too late for the contest. Oh well - very fun site to go look at.
I just got one for our homeschool area that says The Universe is Our Classroom!
But I'd love Welcome to the Zoo for the playroom :)
I loved.......Enjoy life ~ it's delicious!
THanks for giving me a peek at a fun ebay store!
Mine are picked already!! But I love the "Don't let the fear of striking out..." for Hunter's room. He needs reminders every now and then. I also love the "Laughter is Timeless, Imagination has no age" for Boo's room.
Thanks for this great giveaway!!
What a clever idea for a post!
I really like the fire alarm saying for the kitchen and the hundreds have eaten here, also for the kitchen.
Oh how cute love them!
I had been wanting to get some of these.... I pray I'd win :)
Cute new photos of your kids on Mothers Day!
How have I missed this? I'm a total ebay junkie! I adore that "Splish Splash" how cute is that for a kids' bathroom? The "Home Family Blessing" is awesome as well.
So, please enter me! These would be amazing (and thanks for pointing me towards them!)
I love the way you can add to the hominess of your home by adding these words! Great site. Will have to spend more time looking at those. Great fun post
that was a very creative story with your wall words!
I like the one that says "Don't bother driving me crazy, I know the way by foot."
I have been wanting to do wall words for a long time.. I'm so daunted by decorating though, I don't know where to start! But since we're remodeling the laundry room... Maybe I'd get the Laundry - loads of fun! one :-)
Aaaw, I want my walls to say "Sweet Dreams" ... that's beautiful!
xoxo
Col
I like all of them! But if I had to chose just one.. I would say Grow old with me.
great post..
As For Me and My House, I've been looking for that one. We have been collecting a few others (via the dollar store , ssshhhhh!) But we NEED this one.
Love you forever. Reminds me of when my kids were little enough to read to. Do you know this one: I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be. Dang thing choked me up every time I read it. Even though I read it at least 1 million times. :D
2 weeks ago we moved into our new home. My husband and I just finished putting primer on the nasty mustardy yellow (not pretty, trust me!) in the living room tonight. We will be painting it a beautiful Belle Grove Buff color. We have a plant shelf across the ceiling that I was just telling him I would love to do this new decorating technique called vinyl lettering! I went to read my blogs and ran across yours!!! Oh. My. Word! What a cool site on eBay. I totally want the As For Me and My House scripture!!! Anyway, even if I don't win, (which I totally hope I do!), I will probably be ordering something!!!! Anyway, now that I've totally bored you and gone on and on, thanks for offering this!

Oh what a beautiful post! I love ALL of those word art pieces you have and that site is truly amazing. It's so great that you are able to host a giveaway!
My absolute favorite, though:
"Hundreds of people have eaten here and gone on to lead perfectly normal lives."
I like to think that I'm a good cook. Sometimes, I am. But I also have a lot of "kitchen issues." I have dropped a pre-heated cast-iron skillet and ruined a rug. I've burnt rice too many times to count. I've microwaved non-microwavable items a few times. The list goes on.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Those are awesome! I would totally pick the "Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it" quote from Anne of Green Gables.
I just started to redo The Bella's room in a garden theme. I would love to put
With a butterfly kiss and a ladybug hug
sleep tight little one like a bug in a rug
in her room.
I also need You get what you get so don't throw a fit in the kitchen or maybe just tatooed on my forehead!
Thanks for the giveaway
Your home is so cute - will you come decorate mine? I have seen these sticky words, but they were much more expensive than these! I like "Memories are timeless treasures" and of course, "As for me and my house...".
But, I have to admit (ssshhhhh) that I really like the Dwight Schrute quote though I would never put it on my walls.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the wall words... I haven't gotten as many as I'd like though. :)
Oh... I love so many sayings! Like "When I count my Blessings, I count you twice" , "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams", "You're Braver than you believe, Stronger than you seem
and Smarter than you think" , "Be the
CHANGE you wish to see in the WORLD". Great sayings! :)
I was just showing these to my husband the other night! I would get the As for me and my house one....love it. Thanks for hosting a great contest.

Oh wow you must live in such a cool house! I'd love to have a wall that said -
"peace.
it does not mean to be in a place
where there is no noise, trouble
or hard work. it means to be in
the midst of those things and still
be calm in your heart."
But I guess it'd have to be a pretty big wall to fit all of that! LOL
"As for me and my house...."
have always liked that saying.
I really liked how you used all those words together like that.
I've done something similar with magazine phrases and taped them all to my closet door (when i was a teenager)
I love, love, love vinyl lettering!
Of the ones I had time to look at, I like "You are braver... stronger... smarter... than you believe!" That's one I haven't seen before.
My all time favorite funny one is a little different than the one on Just Stickem Up. It says: LAUNDRY ROOM "drop your pants".
Kristen you have such a great blog!
Unfortunately, I am also the cook of the family... and I also LOVE signs, have them all over our home. Recently, l saw a sign that said "I Kiss Better Than I Cook!" This will be my next sign purchase. Hopefully from Just Stickem Up.
Those are GREAT! I have never seen them before. I LOVE the one that talks about 'Driving me crazy'. That really works for my home. I also love the "Pinch of this" kitchen one... and about 100 others!
I love the together we make a family,what a clever idea for a post.Happy WW
Grow old Along with me,
the best is yet to be
I love that saying and with all that my husband and I have been through in the past few years, we need to look forward.
I love the "grow old with me" one! This is a great idea, especially for renters (which I'm not, but still) - thanks!
I have several of the same signs you have! I love them! I want any of the ones that talk about Happiness. Thank you for the contest!
It looks like you had fun putting this post together!
I love these! I like "We may not have it all together but together we have it all"
Thank you!
I love that you have these signs all over your home! They DO tell a story. I especially love the "All because two people fell in love" and "Together we make a family" ones. I"m sure your home is just beautiful!
OH - I love these, and we're moving so they'll be great in my new place. I like Together We Make A Family.
alicegchandler(at)earthlink(dot)net
I too love "Together we make a family". I love how you displayed the pictures. Great photo story..neat idea! I am in Canada but if I am elgible for the Gift Certificate then put me in.
After my blog entry yesterday about Mr. Hallisicle, I think the I Love You Forever saying would be simply awesome.
Hallie :)
I love these! What a great idea...I have always wanted to do some lettering, messages on my walls but, well let's just say I am artisticly challenged! My favorites are the As for me and my house and Splish Splash although given enough time, I could probably wrap my entire house in clever sayings!
Those are great!! I'd love "Imagination is more important than knowledge" for our play/homeschool room :)
There are so many I like. I think I need to get Splish Splash I was taking a bath for my boys bathroom.
oooh - I love these too. I already own the Laundry room one "drop your drawers" but would so love to get the "Pinch of this and dash of that" and "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game" My son has a sports themed bedroom that this would be perfect for!
Great post and LOVE the giveaway. Hope I'm lucky today...from Sally in sunny Florida.
I love "As for me and my house" and "Welcome to our zoo" as I always refer to my kids as my monkeys!
"You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit." Too hilarious!
Love your blog,...very unique
i was gonna buy some of those stick on things! too cute!
these are precious!
i love them all, but I'd have to say the "so mnany toys, so little time" one would be perfect for us right now as we are remodeling to have a playroom for our son
:)
I have sooooo been wanting these type of things for my bedroom!! I love the "grow old with me the best is yet to be"! Thanks for the site!!!
You get what you get, and don't throw a fit, is a mantra at our house!!!
I love this! It's funny. I have uploaded sign pictures and was thinking of doing a post something like this... so I am working on that later today! I hope you stop by and see my signs. We moved a year ago and while moving my hubby commented on how many signs I had (since I had them all sitting together to box up.) I thought about it and I do like signs. They can cheer you and remind you of things when you see them! I too like SIGNS! Thanks for the contest!
I love the wall art (I have none like this) that says "Grow old along with me.. the best is yet to be!" I'd like that in our bedroom. I also like the stick family hang-ups!

P.S. If I get my post up today I will link up to yours so others can enter the contest. If later- I'm sure they'd still love to see your signs too!
Have a great week!
I love the "Laundry, loads of fun" for my laundry room. And I would love the "Strike out Keep playing" one for my son's sports theme room. What the heck! I love them all. I would have them all over my house if I could afford it. Love your blog and I will be back.
I have added her to my "favorites" -- how cool (and good prices too)!
I have no idea what I would pick, seriously. I do love "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15"
And, I really love the Christopher Robin quote! (Which I always love when he says it in the movie too.)
So many signs and sayings... so few walls.
We have typical textured, Texas walls - have you used these on any of this kind of finish?
Blessings! Dawn
I love all your words! I have some wonderful grafitti in my ktichen (it's a website that sells this stuff)
I love the Stickem Ups too! I like the "Sweet Dreams" for over the crib - so sweet!
Oh my gosh, those are SO cute!!! Your house must be gorgeous!!! I just LOVE the "Together we make a family!!!"
Beautiful!
I am diggin the "Laundry-Loads of Fun!"...but if I could do custom I would get "I blog therefore I am" for my office...(you know it is Bloggy Couture moto!!!)
Have a really great day!
I was picturing the "love you forever" over our big bed... until I saw the one for the laundry room with "drop your drawers" and cracked up!
I'd love the one that reads "Life is an occasion; rise to it." It's very fitting for my life!
Love these!! I laughed out loud at the "Don't bother driving me crazy, I know the way by foot" Anytime our girls ask my husband where we are going he always replies, "crazy"
I love these. My sis got one for our mom for Mother's Day... she totally outdid me. Wah!
i have a Simplify sign that looks really similar to yours.
It does tell a story
I love those wall words! Etsy has a few shops that sell as well and I'd treated myself to some at Christmas.
Love the pictures! I love the "Laundry, loads of fun" sign. :)
I like the monogram! Great eBay store. I just bought some vinyl lettering, but I'm not brave enough to put it up yet!
Oooh, fun giveaway! I would just love to have the Dwight Shrute "office" quote to give to a friend here in the office. She would laugh herself silly every day looking at it. :)
What can I say that hasn't been said. Your pictures and your unique touch shows how much you truely love your family. Will you come decorate my house? I love my family too, just don't have near your style.
"Drive me crazy" definitely fits our house. Thank you!
there are so mnay to choose from! i really like the "sweet dreams" one for my kids' room. i really like the "when i grow up" one too. sooo cute! i hope i win!
I love the "Home Family Blessing" one. Fits me perfect!
And do you really have all those in your home? That is amazing! I just never knew those things were available.
And you can tell you love your home!
I love the Footprints on our Hearts saying. I want to have a wall of photos of people who have made an impact on our lives as individuals and a family.
BTW - I LOVE your blog. This is the first time I've posted, but I've been stalking for awhile.
Love these. I particularily like the "Family: The greatest things in life are not things" quote. I am trying to teach my kids that.
"As for me and my house..." No doubt.
Ok, I tried to copy and paste my 'comment' here, but it wouldn't work... so my comment is on my blog today!
I hope that is ok!!
Thanks for the fun!

Blessings!
I've always liked wall words but didn't know where to get them. I love your "You get what you get so don't throw a fit". That is what I need!!
I've gotten some wall sayings from a different company and I think they are cool. I haven't put the big phrase up yet, though. I'm waiting for my mom to come and do it for me - I mean - help me.
I like "I am a child of God" and "Families are Forever" and many more! It would be hard to choose just one!

"Little Girl's Dreams" would be cute in my daughter's room. If I had a laundry room it would be "Laundry. Loads of Fun."
I am dying for the Dwight Quote, but I know DQ would love the Anne of Green Gables quote about tomorrow. What to choose?
unfortunately the only thing my walls say right now is "paint me please!!!" do they make a sign for that.
LOVE LOVE your decorating- I still want you to come over sometime and give me some tips- I can pay you with lots of Sweet Tea and chocolate!!
oh and another thing- I REALLY think your house could be in an issue of Country Living or Romantic Homes. I should write them. :-)
"Rise above the storm..." would bea great reminder for me.
Holy cow, there are so many cute ones! I like the Splish Splash or Mirror Mirror for my little girls' bathroom, Cute as a Bug for the baby's room, Little Girls Dreams for the big girl's room, and a thousand other ones! Thanks for the opportunity! Erica, gumbi1313 at msn dot com
I adore words! I have considered painting something on my walls for years - but the work involved has kept me from doing it. Your products ROCK!
I love "Future belongs dreams" quote by Eleanor Roosevelt.
crafttealady at yahoo dot com
Omigosh -- we use the "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit" mantra at the Pie House ALL the time. My daughter's even been known to say it a few times to the grandparents when they complain. HA!
What a terrific concept! I remember writing song lyrics on my walls as a teenager, you reminded me of that!
Too cute!
I have two favorite signs in my house. The first is in my kitchen and reads:
Kristin's kitchen. If you want it fast best get it yourself.
and the other says:
"Thou shalt not whine".
:)
I like the splish splash for my son's bathroom. Great idea.
sav98@comporium.net
These are so cool! I love the one..."Family---we may not have it all together, but together we have it all." But I really want to put a custom sign in our bathroom above the shower that reads:
"Soap is to the body what laughter is to the soul." Old Yiddish proverb.
Just have to say as well, that I absolutely love your blog!
Blessings,
Mrs. Q
Those are awesome, I've never seen them before in vinyl! I love the one that says "never trust a skinny cook" and the Dwight office one about "would an idiot do it?"
Thanks for the great ebay link!
I love the 'Family Home Blessing' and 'I am a child of God'
but my little one would love the one that says 'So many toys, so little time'--so him!
What a great link. I will definately get some. I'd love the Memories are life's treasures.
I did a post of our signs too! (I did link up to your contest) It's last minute but I just found your great blog and giveaway!
Here is the link to my blog post!
Hope you'll check it out to see what my walls are saying!

Can't wait to see who wins!
SchoolinRhome
No... really... all those are in your home? Wow! I've got nothing original. But I'd love to use the one of yours that says, "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit." That's just too apt for our house to pass up.
I would choose "Grow old along with me..." for my master bedroom.
Holly bhc-law@juno.com
Enjoy life..it's Delicious is my favorite.
My favorite was
" We might not have it all together, but together we have it all."
Thanks for sharing. It looks like it would be fun and easy to do. I live in an apartment. Looking for new ways to spruce it up with out having to repaint everything before we move out.
Thanks again.
"Laundry...Loads of Fun" Made me laugh!
I'd like to do a custom Honeymoon Suite above my bedroom door.
Call it irony, if you dare.
I looked through them all, but couldn't find any about books-which is what I really wanted....hopefully I could use this to create my own?! What a great giveaway!!
Please count me in! I love words on the wall : ) I probably would choose a simple faith*family*friends sign, but love the Winnie the Pooh quote, "Did you ever stop to think and forget to start again?"
Oh it's so hard to pick! Here are my top 3:
1. The Greatest Things in life aren't things.
2. Families are forever.
3. Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.
I would love to have these for my home. We just bought the house a year and a half ago and it's been a slow process turning it from just house to HOME.
Oh, I love your decor! I wouldn't know which to pick, too many to chose from! Awesome giveaway!
How do you pick? I love them all! I'm a child of God is great! And I love the dinner's ready when the smoke alarm goes off! Great giveaway! Sign me up!!!
so many sayings...so little wall space.
I don't think you can go wrong with anything from God's word.
I love them all. Those are so cool, I have never seen them before.
-Charlotte
I love the "Always kiss me goodnight" What a great giveaway! Great blog too!
I love the one that says "Grow old with me, The best is yet to come."
Those are great. I think I would go with a custom one that says "Sleep Sweet" - my kids and I say that to each other every night. Not sure where it came from but would love to put it on the wall between their rooms.
I love the one about people leaving footprints on our hearts!
What a great site! And I LOVE your home decor!
I LOVE wall words! My favorite is: item # 130221466948 "I love you forever".
You'll see why tomorrow when I join in the fun on sincerely fro me to you. ;)
Those look so cool. One of the ones I like is Grow old Along with me,
the best is yet to be. :)
Thanks for the giveaway. :)
I love the one where you can choose your own saying. I would choose 'You get what you get and you don't throw a fit.' That's the new theme in my kindergarten classroom!
I like the family name one. I also love the one you show that says, "Together we make a family."
You are just too clever, my friend.
Very cool.
The Family Blessing is my favorite, but I love them ALL!
What a great site! I love so many of the quotes...so hard to choose. Some of my favorites are "I love you forever", and "As for me & my house".
Thanks for sharing!
I love the joshua quote: as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!
I love the style of your house... it's just what I try to do, too. :-)
There are SO many that I like, but I would with no doubt get "May The Force Be With You." My boys LOVES StarWars!
Sure could use one for my new rooms here...hint...hint.
I never saw these before. Very cool! I'd love to add the "Of all the girls in the world..." one, but my daughter would probably sneer at it. *sigh*
That was cool! I am sure your country home in the city is awesome!
Also on the Mother's Day pic, your children are beautiful!!!
I love the "As for me and my house" one.
I like so many of them. Way cute! But I really like "As for me and my house...." That one is cool.
Blessings!
whew- for a minute there I thought I missed this giveaway but then i remebered that this week is going by slooowwww and it's still only Weds. -yeah!
ok- i really like the don't bother driving me crazy- i know the way on foot, but for our home i'd love the little girls' dream one! My littles are all about princesses and fairies right now- it's perfect!
so nice to meet you!!
thanks for stopping by my blog!!
love the all because two people fell in love!!
thanks!
moore.g at insideconnect.net
Those are great! My daughter's room is decorated in ladybugs, so I loved the "Butterfly Kiss Ladybug" one.
These are all incredible! We'll be moving soon and these definitely catch my attention as something for "decor"
Since we have one little girl and another on the way I have to say I like the
"A Baby is a bit of stardust blown from the hand of God"
I really like "Grow old with me, the best is yet to be." These are a wonderful idea!
I think this is a great way to add some personality to a home.
I like so many of them, I think I'd have some in every room of my house if given the opportunity. But I think my favorite was the "Grow Old Along With Me" one. It would be sweet in the Master Bedroom along with an arrangement of wedding photos. :)
I love "Life is an occasion.." and "As for me and my house...". Thanks for a great giveaway!
dolphinplus@juno.com
Just found your blog! Love it! I am having a hard time choosing~I love the sweet indearments and the funny ones too. I think I would like a custom one that says "check your guns at the door" like an old plaque my grandma had.
I have one that I still havent put up in my house! I love the "Laundry...Loads of Fun" one...as Laundry is one thing that I have such a lovely and pleasant attitude about!
I think I am going to do all the words in my house for you this week!
We live in a 2nd floor apartment, and it would be neat for the stairwell to read "God be with you
'til we meet again" for our friends to reflect on as they walk out the door. Thanks!
cbeargie(at)yahoo(dot)com
I have a friend who has these in her home and they are just beautiful and look as though someone painted it on her wall.
I really like the verse from Joshua "as for me and my house we will serve the Lord". Amen!
Oh my goodness 138 comments this time. I told you that you were gonna be big. :)
These are amazing, thanks for pointing them out. I can see I am going to be dropping some cash on ebay soon! My fav (so far) is Like stardust glistening on Fairies' Wings
Little girls' dreams are of Magical Things.
Cheers, Kiy
I love them all, but I especially like "Always Kiss Me Goodnight."
I know the giveaway is over...but just wanted to say WHAT a cute idea!! :) Thanks for the heads up about this unique company! :) Have a great day!
