Today I had the opportunity to get a little crafty, and I went for it. The fantastic folks at Made By 2 Sisters organized a fund raising event unlike any other I’ve heard of. They created a giant drop-in pallet party to benefit a fellow school district employee who’s been undergoing cancer treatments.
What is a pallet party?
Good question. It’s an opportunity to make a unique sign for your home using easy techniques that guarantee even a novice will produce a great looking sign. Trust me, I’m no craft queen, but I’m pretty happy with my signs.
I’ve been watching this company from the start, and I’m pleased to have several of their signs. Some I’ve done myself, and others I purchased already made. The parties are so much fun, and the fundraising aspect is just further proof of how wonderful this company is.
Made this one today. I’ll distress it more and add some twine and jingle bells to the bottom, I think.
This one is also from today. It will look great with my Hanukkah decorations.
This one marks my conversation to glitter (the word bonfires).
I purchased this one as a fundraiser for a different colleague a while back.
This was also a purchase. It hangs above my fireplace.
These sweet little ones sit on a bookshelf.
This one was custom made for me for Hanukkah.
I did this one last summer. It looks great in my kitchen.
I have a few others, but they’re packed away with the Halloween and Christmas decorations. These signs are so much fun, and I really love the look. I’m glad I had a chance to make more today, and to spend the time with friends. I hope the event raised a large sum to donate to our colleague’s cause.

Thank you. I’ve got a few boards with sketches on them. If/when I find the time, I’ll paint away. Thank you for the encouragement. x

And what a great way to raise some money. Hope the person you were supporting is doing well.

Thanks, I hear that she’s getting stronger, but the bills are brutal. She has a great support system and an awesome spirit.
