A Giveaway You Won’t Want to Miss!

I love the look of Scripture verses and colorful murals painted directly upon the walls of a home, so I’ve added such finishing touches to every house our family has ever lived in.

Painting Words on Walls | www.flandesfamily.info

Guests who visit our home (or see pictures of it on our blogs) have often commented on this lettering. “Where did you get that?” they want to know.

I can almost see the gears turning in their heads as they contemplate the different things they’d like to put on their own walls, their eyes alight with all the possibilities.

Painting Words on Walls | www.flandersfamily.info

But as soon as I admit that I painted the verses freehand, that light is quickly extinguished.

“It’s really not that hard,” I assure them.

Then I describe how I mark the walls with masking tape (using a level to keep things straight), draw guidelines first in pencil (very lightly), then paint with a flat artist’s brush dipped in black enamel, working top to bottom and left to right so as not to smear my work. The projects take anywhere from several hours to several days to complete — and my arms get extremely tired in the process — but I’ve always thought the results were worth it.

Writing Words on Walls | www.flandersfamily.info

Still, these details are enough to discourage even my craftier friends. “I could never do that,” they pine. “I’d be afraid to even try.”

You can imagine my delight, then, when the folks at WiseDecor contacted me about doing a review and giveaway of their products on my blog. Just one look through their catalog, and I knew all my artsy-but-time-pressed friends were going to love it. Here is the very thing they’d been looking for!

I had the privilege of choosing any product I wanted out of their catalogue to try it for myself. This is the one I picked:

Psalm 37:4 - "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Isn’t that lovely? It took all of five minutes to apply (most of which was spent tracking down my masking tape, as these little boys of mine are bad about borrowing it and not putting it back).

All the tools you need for transferring the vinyl lettering to you wall are included with your purchase, with the exception of a couple of pieces of tape for positioning and holding the paper backing in place until the transfer is complete.

Decorating your walls with words, the easy way...

I like the fact that there is no clear border around these designs — just smooth, crisp lettering which adheres directly to the surface of your wall. Depending on the font you choose, these verses can really take on that handpainted appearance, but completely without the hassle factor.

Here’s a little “family” decal they included with my order, as a bonus surprise. I was able to experiment with this little project before tackling the big one:
Wise Decor - 2

As you can see, I got the word a little off-center to begin with, so I added the “is forever” with a sharpie to balance it out a bit. And if I ever get tired of this arrangement and decide to redecorate, the vinyl decal is completely removable. (Not so, the sharpie. 🙁 )

Now for the giveaway! WiseDecor has graciously offered a $50 gift certificate, good for any of the wall decals in their catalog — or design a custom project of your own. Complete any (or all) of the rafflecopter tasks below to enter:

    I’ve been wanting to add some scripture to my bare walls but have been intimidated by worrying that I wouldn’t like it and then it would be a big hassle to remove it. Thanks for the nice giveaway!

    I LOVE putting words on the wall. I usually do it with premade signs. It’s one of the things that people frequently comment on when they visit.

    Praise the Lord for your wonderful artistry and gifts. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me. The most important thing is that God will help each one of us build our homes His way. Proverbs 14:1 The wise woman builds her house.

Well, we put our house on the market, and it sold Well, we put our house on the market, and it sold in 3 days. So after 5 1/2 years in this happy home, we’ll begin moving out this week.  #godisgood but #movingishard
We love our sweet girl. I’m not sure why anyone We love our sweet girl. I’m not sure why anyone as gregarious as Rebekah finds this “don’t talk to me” meme so hilarious (see my last post for pictures), as she is an amazing conversationalist and always has been.  I even thought about stitching a disclaimer on the back of the Christmas sweater (my gift to her) that read: “These dogs may be anti-social, but I love meeting new people, so introduce yourself!”  #strikeupaconversation
So a couple of months before Rebekah graduated fro So a couple of months before Rebekah graduated from nursing school, her sister/roommate Bethany came up with a plan that the whole family should memorialize her accomplishment with hand-crafted gifts featuring a meme that — for whatever reason — totally cracks Bekah up. Here’s the results of our labors ( minus the doggie-embellished flower pot Beth gave her early. I didn’t get a picture of that one). 
Next batch of photos, I’ll share Bekah’s reaction to the gifts. Spoiler: She loved them!.  #flandersfamilycreates

I’m finally getting around to posting a few pics I’m finally getting around to posting a few pics from our family’s recent stay in Cleburne (with a day trip to the Fort Worth Zoo).  There are so many fun, free things to do in Cleburne! Our favorite? The free community showing of the at the @laylandmuseum of the classic film Charade (starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant) with free popcorn, saltwater taffy, and bottled root beer provided by @trovatostreet. What a treat! We’re so glad our trip coincided with this monthly event.  #flandersfamilytravels
