Ever had one of THOSE days?

 I have never been accused of being a graceful person, and for very good reason.  Today, I had hoped to finish the 4 signs I started a couple days ago, and I was making decent progress until, as usual, my natural clumsiness took over, and I spilled about a quart of paint from the gallon I was trying to move.  I hadn't put the lid on tight, and somehow I managed to catch the bottom of the can on my work surface and it tipped over.  Sky Blue paint splattered all over the floor, as well as onto my shoe, another can of paint and my vacuum cleaner!  I work in a somewhat confined area in my house, and on a good day, it can be a challenge.  Today, I had about 12 cans of paint all sitting on the floor around my work area, and I had been tripping on them all morning.  I had just finished telling my husband that I needed to put a little book case or something next to the area where I do all the painting, to hold all the cans of paint I keep dragging in the house.  I guess I'll be making something from some of the Pallets I have in the barn to hold the paint!  Anyway, because I had to stop EVERYTHING I was doing to get the paint mopped up, I decided that after cleaning up my mess, I was going to call it a day.  I managed to get 2 of the 4 signs completed.  

The first one is simple, and I really like it that way!  I love the Deer Silhouettes I made a couple weeks ago, but I'm noticing that same silhouette is showing up EVERYWHERE!  I decided to do something a little different, and went on the search for a nice Caribou Silhouette.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.  Very simple, very rustic.


The other sign I finished today is a sentiment near and dear to my heart.


I was working on the other "Life is better on the Farm" sign, done on pallet boards when I had my little mishap, So it will be a day or so before I can get it posted.  I'm also making another "Life doesn't have to be Perfect" sign, which will also be posted in a couple days.  
 I am  hoping to have several new signs to post in the next few days.   That is, provided I don't trip and break something, which is ALWAYS a possibility with me, lol!

Thanks everyone!
