    Default a good day to knock out a freebie

    A wet, rainy day today… a good day to knock out a freebie. A friend is giving a devotional at a wedding shower and wanted some “building blocks” of a good marriage… I thought her talking points lacked excitement and so added one of my own. We had a good laugh, but she said she’s glad she looked them over before her talk!

    I like yours Steve...much better than "Servant's Heart" and "Submission"
    Stencil ink? What finish/wood?
    They look rugged enough to be dangerous in a "Domestic Dispute"
    Looks like you dug into your "Slab Stash"

    Scott…
    I hadn’t thought about the projectile factor… maybe they needed to be cut out of foam! I cut them from a scrap chunk of 2X8, clear sealer, sprayed with rattle can black, wiped off and sanded when dry.
    The project was very unremarkable, but fun due to the added block!

    Thanks Steve.
    Inexpensive Freebies (except for your time)
    You should have done the backsides with YOUR "Essentials"...maybe she'd mess up occasionally and face them wrong

    I thought about routing my business name on the back to at least get some advertising value from them… but I didn’t, I didn’t want to spend any more time on them!
