Horse n Around Welcome Slate

Happy Saturday!

Yes I know, I never post on Saturday well, I've been working on something today and I just couldn't wait to share it with you.

We have a new person buying hay that our family was acquainted with when I was a kid.  He lives on his parents farm which has an OLD barn....it either has or had a slate roof ~ can you say WAY cool!!!  Anyway, dh & ds were over there the other day and he gave them a couple pieces of the slate so I thought it would be nice to make him a welcome sign to display at his house or barn.

I knew I wanted to make something with horses because that's what he raises so when Mom and I were shopping yesterday I found a basic horse stencil but couldn't find a welcome sign so I decided to try to make my own stencil. 

I down loaded a cool western looking font and typed out welcome on my word program.  I changed it from a solid font to only a small outline.  I then spent quite a while cutting it all out.

And here is how it turned out....

I'm really quite pleased with it! 

I hope he likes it!
