SUYL - What We Make

As part of Kelly's Show Us Your Life Friday's,
below are some newer items that have yet to be added
to the website.

Thanks Kelly for allowing us to show our work!

The picture above shows a donor wall engraved a
few years ago.

Above are wood frames engraved for a teams'
coaches this 2011 season.

A new wedding tile made for a bride and groom recently,
as part of their wedding registry at a gift shop nearby.

An engraved wedding gift was drop-shipped
to a couple several weeks ago and they
subsequently ordered a tile
for their new home showing
their street number.

And one of my closest friends recently welcomed
a new grandson, Kaden.
I shipped the above tile to her home and now the argument
is who does this gift belong to;
the parents, or the grandparents:)

Thanks again Kelly for allowing us to show
our work links on your SUYL Series.

Have a blessed weekend,
Kaye

Unique Personalized Teacher Gifts

"Show us your life" from sweet Kelly

at Kelly's Korner

is featuring "teacher gifts" this week

therefore I thought I should show some

samples of "teacher gifts"

I've engraved in the past.

Shown above is a 6" x 6" Tan Engraved Tile.

This can be personalized with the teacher's name

engraved on top of the tile and the student's name

and year engraved on the bottom of the tile.

Shown above is a 12" x 12" Engraved Tile

for a very devoted teacher of 26 years.
Above is a personalized wood photo frame.
The frame holds a 4" x 6" photo and can be engraved
horizontally or vertically.
The personalized tile above features a quote
by Benjamin Franklin.
This tile is an 8" x 8" in 'stone'.
And above is yet another personalized
engraved tile for a very special Principal
who retired last year. This tile
is an 8" x 16" Porcelain tile.

I've also recently added a a personalized
acrylic ruler which would make a great
teacher's gift.

Please go here to see other fonts, colors, sizes,
and products. You will find with each size tile
there is a 'create your own' which essentially
means you can personalize your tile with any
saying, quote, Scripture, artwork and
student's name or names
and the year.

The only limit is your imagination!

Thanks Kelly for hosting and
thanks for looking.
Have a wonderfully blessed weekend.

Blessings always,
Kaye
Matthew 21:22

My heart will go on...

Here is a new cheese board I engrave with

pretty ornate handles...

and a wonderful new saying I engraved recently...

"I pray you enough"...

...but today I've been...

missing my Grandmother as she would have

celebrated her 95th birthday.

She still lives on in many hearts

and remains the most influential 'lady' in my life.

...and we lost a dear Grand Dog today which

is always difficult. Luke will be missed by many.

....but I did get in the kitchen to make some

old-fashioned iced tea cakes to take to the

Grand kids later this week

as a Valentine's Happy...

...not very pretty to look at but they do

taste like something my Grandmother once made.

...and I wanted to share another new item

recently added to the website.

The one below speaks volumes

if we will remember to.....

I lift up my eyes to the hills-
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made Heaven and earth...
He will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade at your right hand.
Psalm 121:1-2,4-5 NRSV

Blessings today and always,

Kaye

Winner & others...

Recently I hosted a giveaway for a set of grilling tools
for the winner to have in time for Father's Day.
Bobby from Tuscaloosa, AL was given his set
of tools by his children yesterday!

And I engraved a set for my brother and brother-in-law
in honor of Father's Day and as you'll see on "Korky's" set
I engraved Scripture as well as his name on the box
which holds the grilling necessities...

..."the Southern Belle" tile is one I've engraved over
the years but recently had an order for one on slate,
so I took a photo of it to share...

...this was engraved for a 'blended family' and
they didn't want a last name engraved...
so this is what we came up with for their
'large' family...

...and another one I've engraved over the years,
but thought it was a good one to share again....
truer words have never been spoken:),
I mean engraved...

Praying all Dads had a wonderfully
blessed day...even after 18+ years
it still has a 'sting' to it not being able
to wish my Daddy a Happy Father's Day.

Blessings today and always,
Kaye

Fight the good fight for what we believe.

Busy at work!

It's that time of the school year so I've engraved
several gifts for special teachers!

...a newly designed 12 x 6 wedding tile engraved
for one of our retailers recently.

A special frame sent to Taylor & Tynan's "Nano"
last week...

...and an engraved tile for a
Soccer Coach in Virginia!

Dancing Machine!

The wood frame photographed above holds a
4" x 6" picture and can
be engraved vertically or horizontally.

Jesus did it; the Bible tells it.
I believe it; that settles it.

"In the beginning was the Word..."
John 1:1 KJV

Thank You, Lord, that even a child can understand it.

T Is For Thankful & Textures

"T"hankful for home:
While rebuilding our home (2005-2007) we wanted to give the individual contractors something personalized to show our appreciation for their work. We decided on 'personalized wood pen sets' since we thought this would be something they would keep in their 'work' trucks and they'd use them and hopefully remember how much we appreciated them and their hard work.

"T"hankful for teachers:
The personalized wood picture frames have become very popular for teachers so each year they can remember the students from their former classes.

This sample was of Trace's 2nd Grade Class.
"T"hankful for friends and healthy family:
Last year my sister came to stay with us while she underwent surgery in hopes I could help 'nurse her back to health'.

We did try to do something special for everyone at the Dr.'s office after they took such good care of her. Later we decided we HAD TO do something even more special for their office manager Amanda. We didn't realize at the time Kathi decided to come here for surgery that her insurance carrier would make things very interesting when she crossed state-lines for medical attention:(!

Live & learn we did, but Amanda was so very helpful and we can never thank her enough for her diligence and hard work! We felt Philippians 1:3-6 would be very appropriate under the circumstances. We'll always appreciate you Amanda!

Now I plead with you, brethren,
by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that you all speak the same thing,
and that there be no divisions among you,
but that you be perfectly joined together
in the same mind
and in the same judgment.
1 Corinthians 1:10 NKJV

Personalized Baby Announcement Frame

Recently I engraved a frame which included information commemorating the birth of a new baby boy and wanted to share this with my readers.

You can see more engraved wood items on my website.

Praising God for every drop of rain today in Northeast Texas.

Have a great day!
