December was for others, January for yourself?

I have finally sat down to load up some of my favorites from the Christmas season, as well as some left overs from the Christmas Fair. This is a really big post, so keep scrolling down, since there's a lot to see...

Now that everyone has settled back into a routine, maybe it's time to pick up a little something for yourself.  Of course birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, and weddings never stop, so there's always a gift giving occasion coming up. I now have the ability to send an invoice through e-mail that allows you to pay either with your paypal account, or with your debit or charge card. I am still up for checks and cash, but this new electronic option does make it easier for out of towners, or for those really busy people that are looking for added convenience. I am here to oblige!!! As always, you can reach me by e-mail at cornerbarn@live.com, if you have any questions, or want to order. Thanks for taking a look, and Happy Shopping...

This board is a new design, it was made for a couple that is fond of the beach. I chose really soft colors, and tried to give a laid back, weathered look to the board. These are some of the things I wanted to mimic about the signs and buildings that are at the coast. Board is painted carmel, with a black under layer, with sanded edges, that allows for the dark to peek through. Cream vinyl under layer, with a "distressed" looking dark brown vinyl top layer. 8" X 24" $25.00

This is one of my classic looks. It goes perfect with so many decors. I like to call it a "no-brainer" it's such an easy pick. Ivory board with carmel and chocolate brown vinyl. 8" X 24", $25.00

This board was for a couple who's fond of  Alice in Wonderland, with a last name of Hatt, who can blame them? The quote is from Alice in Wonderland, and I used a really fun, whimsical font that goes along with the theme. White board with black and gray vinyl. 8" X 24" board, $25.00

The saying  "It's never too late to fall in love..."  was added to this anniversary board, making it just that much more personal. Burgandy board with cream and carmel vinyl. 8" X 24" board $25.00

(I am just going to aplogize right now for the photo quality) This special order board was done on a
12" tall X 18" long board, which gave a little different dimension for the wording.  It was made to go outside their front door, under the front porch. It would also look great out by a BBQ grill, or patio. Using the couple's first names would be great too! 12" X 18" $25.00

Who doesn't want the word princess in front of their name? This fabulous board is painted sparkle dark pink, with pink vinyl. Perfect for that princess in your life! This board was done in the larger size of 8" X 24" $25.00, but could also be done in the 6" X 18" for $18.00

Butterflies were used to add a really cute detail to this little girl's board. There are so many options to add that special, personal touch to custom boards. Know a little someone who collects something, or has a favorite animal or color? All of those can be used to make a one of a kind gift. 6" X 18" board $18.00

Sweet little girl board painted a light pink with chocolate brown vinyl. Brown board with pink vinyl would be really cute too. This look could go with any baby/little girl room. 6" X 18" board, $18.00

Charger fans anyone? This special order board was made to match the family's favorite team, as well as his nursery decor. Have a favorite team? Matching special themes and decor is always fun and puts my creativity to the test.  6" X 24" board $18.00


Ok, so the following are some boards I have left over from the Christmas Fair. I have what you see, and possibly a couple of each. They are all ready for immediate walking out of the door, as well as instant hanging with attached sawtooth hanger....

Ok, so I got an idea to try showing my boards up on a wall, grouped with some photos. I thought it would help to visualize how they could be used as "captions" for your family photos or anything you currently have up on your walls. So, here is my first attempt at it. This is a new board of mine, it is chocolate brown with cream vinyl. The board measures 4" X 24". $9.95

I really, really am liking this new board. I call it "Be Thankful". It is just a grouping of some great advice, that sometimes you need a little reminding of. I saw a wall hanging that was similar in idea, but it was missing some key elements. So I made one that was more of what I was looking for. Black painted board with cream vinyl. 8" tall X 24" long. $17.95

I have posted this type of board before, but can't get enough of it. The best things, the hanging options are endless. It would look great over a doorway, in the hall with photos, or even tucked away on a shelf. I have two of these left from Christmas Fair. Both are painted chocolate brown with carmel vinyl. 4" tall X 24" long. $ 9.95

Super simple board that makes me think of all the great supportive people I have in my life. Board would go perfect lined up with some family photos. (But I feel that way about most of them.) Available in dark brown or black with cream colored vinyl. Board is 6"x24". $12.95

Arrrggghh, Laundry!!!! Drop Your Drawers Here....a little humor added to the laundry room, or if you're like me, the laundry pile. Goodness knows I sure need it sometimes! Perfect above any nook/cranny/space you have set aside for your wash. White washed board with gray vinyl. 6" X 24" board, $12.95
