So - there I was - the Franklin Show - showing my wares and talking to folks - when - A lady comes in and admires the Ivy and Hummingbird Welcome Sign.

"I love it", she exclaims. "Would you make one for me with just a couple of changes?"

"Sure", I reply. "What changes did you have in mind?"

"Well, I don't want the word Welcome - I would rather have a short Bible verse. And I don't want the hummingbird - I would like a cross in that area. You can keep the Ivy in it, though."

Alllllllllrighty then. "What design would you like for the cross?" "What font do you want in the Bible verse?" Seemed like resonable questions, right?

"Oh, I don't know anything about fonts. Just pick one out. Cross? Not too plane or not too fancy. You know.............."

Did I ask her what kind of wood this project should be cut from???

NO WAY

Anyhow - below is a picture of the final product. She liked it ! ! ! ! :D :D

Great piece... I have been selling cross clocks of various types and sold out of my country church with a bible verse in the corner

Churches and crosses seem to be popular

Had a call last night from the gal that received the plaque. Loves it with one exception - - - -

She said that it is "Psalm" not "Psalms". :confused: And, of course, she is right - :eek:

however

I still have the paper where she wrote out what she wanted. You got it, "Psalms 25" - gotcha, lady. :p

Will copy and email to her.

See - - - we aim to please when it comes to giving the customer exactly what they want. :cool:
