A Great Wedding Gift

         
           I LOVE ESTES PARK!

It is a quaint small town on the border of Rocky Mountain National Park. It's serene, friendly, beautiful, and it is where I got married!

I decided to make a sign with our wedding date and the name of the town. And I think this would be a SUPER wedding gift for anyone and everyone!

Estes Park is a typical mountain town where you will find unique shops and restaurants, hiking, lakes, camping, cozy cabins, and lots of elk. The Stanley Hotel is there.

It is the hotel which inspired Stephen King to write The Shining and the TV mini series was filmed there.It is supposedly haunted and they even offer "ghost tours" for their guests!

We go back to visit this area at least once a year and get to relive our wedding weekend and share this amazing place with our kids.

I found a random piece of wood in our garage and painted it a sage green color. Then I used stencils to draw " Estes Park" in the middle and the numbers are our wedding date.

After the paint dried I roughed her up a bit with the sander to get some character!

I screwed some eye hooks in the top of the sign, added some ribbon, and hung it up.

I may coat it with something waterproof and hang it somewhere in our patio area.

This was an easy and cheap project that ANYONE could tackle!
