DOOR PRIZE

We love the welcoming look of vinyl on front DOORS (or any door)! So we want to spread the warmth! Here is the LUCKY part: you get to decide your phrase, your vinyl color, & your font! the only catch: the area size of your order must be within 24 inches wide x 7.5 inches tall. 'WELCOME' is one of our most common requests. However, don't hold back. Be Creative. Be Wordy. Be Yourself. for those of you who claim to be 'craft-challenged' (although I do not believe that person exists), I thought of a few quote suggestions:

Our home is a sanctuary where...

God's Spirit can dwell, the storm stops at the door, Love reigns and Peace dwells

(Thanks to my mom who found this quote by President Monson. We have paraphrased the exact quote. I LOVE THIS. I immediately cut it and placed it above our window with some fancy swirls next to it. I think it would be perfect for a front door; ours is just too ugly)

Welcome

happy is the home that shelters a friend

Peace, Love, and Joy

TO ALL WHO ENTER HERE

BIENVENIDOS

This Home Established in 1996

I hope this long list helps! We are so exciting to see just what you come up with. All we ask is that the winner emails us a picture of their new door creation! Feel free to give this away as a gift to someone else, as well; just don't forget the picture.

We so appreciate every one's support. remember to spread the word. Also, Cottage Quotes would love to be added to your sidebar. 2009 will be full of updates that you will not want to miss! good LUCK to all.
