Time for a Giveaway!

House Numbers
The address numbers on your house are very important.
Of course this is how your mail gets to you or how someone finds your house.
But it's important that your house numbers reflect the style of your home.
I found a creative way to display my own house numbers by gluing 
metal numbers to a plaque I bought at Hobby Lobby.
You can read my previous post about it here.
An address plaque should enhance your home.
Which leads me to say, I was thrilled the other day when I was contacted by 
RAMSIGN asking if I'd like to giveaway one of their handmade enamel signs.
Click on banner above to go to there website.

This company uses a thousand year old stencil technique to create genuine glass enamel signs. 
All signs are made by hand to order.

They are perfect for a cottage style house but would look equally as good on a colonial or ranch and 
many other styles. Even though I have a house number sign already...I'd still love to win one of these.
I think I'd get the year my house was built 1931 to display somewhere inside.
I'm sure there are many uses for these number signs other than just for using on a house as an address.
Pick your lucky number!
I have a thing for 2's. 2's are my favorite number. I like 4's also.
My least favorite number? 8
I hate 8's and I always have. Because 8's are just mean and hateful. I kind of have a problem with 3's too.
I thought I was a little crazy until I learned 
there is a name for someone who associates personalities or colors with numbers.
It's called....
Synethesia
You can read about it on Wikipedia here.
Anyway...I associate colors and personalities with numbers and was shocked when I learned 
there is a name for this and that lots of people do it.
I've always hated 8's and 8's are orange. 

But I love 2's and 4's. 

 I can imagine putting this number on something, I just don't know what.

They also have other useful signs available like -
and
and
and this one that seems it would be especially useful.
I assume this is for dogs.

If you'd like to win a sign from RAMSIGN just leave a comment saying you are a follower.
And for a second chance to win...leave another comment telling me if you'd use it for 
your house number or what else you might use it for.
I think there has to be a lot of uses for these numbers. 
I'd like to hear your ideas.

I'll announce the winner on March 18.
And remember...NO POOPING!

UPDATE: 3/12/12
**** I was told my RAMSIGN that I need to clarify that this giveaway is for house numbers only
not for any of the worded signs.*****

Sorry if I misled in my excitement over the No Pooping sign.

Still...it's a super great giveaway. I'd love some numbers......

House Numbers

Numbering Your House in Style

Attic mag did a really interesting post today about numbering your house in a creative way. 
Please go there and see the great ideas for displaying your home's address. 


I thought I'd share my own house numbers. I created this from a plaque I found in the garden stuff at Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago. I have no idea what it was intended for originally, but when I saw it...I knew I could somehow add house numbers to it. I bought metal numbers at Ace Hardware and glued them on with all weather adhesive. 




See how it accents the pole just perfectly?
