    I LOVE this! I was actually planning to try and make one of these for a friend of mine this Christmas, but now, I think I’ll just order from this shop (if I don’t win it here first!). I’d love one for myself, too…so I’d spell our last name, Diehl.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Ummm, I think I would spell our last name…or my new baby’s first name. It’ so hard to choose!

  4. 4

    what a GREAT giveaway :) check out my blog to enter mine too :) anyways..i would do “LOVE” for our master bedroom!

    natatomic says:

    I think I might spell my own name (Natalie). I hope that’s not self-centered, but I just don’t have a child’s or husband’s last name to use yet!

  6. 6
    Cathy says:

    I would probably do the word FAMILY those are just awesome!

  7. 7
    pendy says:

    Definitely our last name…these are awesome!

  8. 8
    Kasey says:

    I’ve wanted a collage like this with my last name for a while, so I would spell out my name – Deines.

  9. 9
    Ashley Benz says:

    These are beautiful. I would love to gift my dad with the “Hope” one- he would definitely appreciate it.

  10. 10
    Kathy says:

    Fantastic!

    I love this. My friend has this up in her house and I planned on stealing the idea (Muhahah)

    Now I can get help in furthering my diabolical plot. :-)

    I’d spell our last name. (I’m crazy like that…)

  11. 11
    Rebecca says:

    How interesting…I found “DAD” popping out at me without needing the “crib sheet” below the artwork. Now, if I were to win it, the big question is…do I give it to my own dad or allow my children to gift it to their dad?

    Liz from WI says:

    HOME

    as another one of mine graduates high school, I want to make sure they remember where HOME is!

  13. 13
    Jamie~ says:

    I love this idea! I wish I’d thought of it first. Unfortunately, I’m not that creative! Oh, well. That’s one of the many reasons I come to this blog. :)

    I would choose either our last name, new baby first name or the word Romantical for the master bedroom.

  14. 14
    Tomara says:

    I’m attempting to be original (ha!!). I’d most likely want to spell my last name. But then again… maybe JOY or HOME or something “emotional” like that. I’d have a hard time making a final decision and probably end up with… MILLER.

  15. 15
    Kar says:

    love it…
    I’d spell FAMILY or HOME.
    My two favorite things.

  16. 16

    Definitely the “JOY” frame. Lovely!

  17. 17
    Shawna says:

    I love this! I think I would spell my son’s name, because it’s an odd spelling (and no, I won’t share, because I don’t want anyone stealing it! ;) ) and my daughter has stuff that spells her (also odd) name. :)

  18. 18
    Jen says:

    I like JOY too. It’s something I try to strive for when I remember! (J-O-Y = Jesus Others Yourself)

    Thanks!
    Jen

  19. 19

    I really like the LOVE prints, but my baby B needs his name in his room too! How could I pick?

  20. 20
    Shoebee says:

    I would probably get the word Family, and place it in my family room.

  21. 21
    Carla says:

    I would get either our last name….OR…my fave on there JOY!! I love it!!

  22. 22
    arkie says:

    I think I would like the word LIFE done this way. Interesting idea.

  23. 23
    Stephanie says:

    These are so cool. I’d definatley spell out our last name or maybe the word trust. Neat idea!

  24. 24

    Oh I am totally in the midst of creating my own photo words as gifts for some of the people I love.

    I would probably spell:
    Scott (our last name),Hudson (my son)or Meadow (my daughter)

  25. 25
    Chelsea says:

    How fun! I think I’d have my letters spell “Create”.

  26. 26
    Brooke says:

    Great shop! I think I would get one that said “SISTERS” – seeing as how we have 3 daughters and a huge photo collection, I think that would pull the photo wall together nicely!

  27. 27
    Wynn Bliss says:

    I LOVE this-sooo creative!! Perfect gift for that person who has everything!! I’d get the word ‘Wynn’ our last name:) Thanks for an awesome give-a-way!!

  28. 28
    ~holly says:

    i’d spell out dad.

  29. 29
    almost five says:

    I’m thinking… INSPIRE… DREAM… IMAGINE… something like that… maybe a gift or our last name? So many choices!

    What a creative idea!

    Love your blog, by the way… such a joy (chuckle, snort, laugh!) to read!

  30. 30
    GritsGirl says:

    Very cool!!
    I agree with the other comments very hard to pick a word. Maybe
    Rejoice
    Love
    or our last name

  31. 31
    JC says:

    I would spell out “Faith” something I am trying to have more of!

    I wish it was easy…

  32. 32
    Erica says:

    I would probably spell “Laugh” because our family laughs a lot together. I have a few different things around the house (blocks, a pillow, etc) with that word painted or embroidered on them because sometimes laughter is what keeps us from going off the deep end. A kid has a ridiculous tantrum? Laugh, because the other option is crazy anger or frustration at their ridiculousness. Everything’s going wrong today? Laugh, and know that tomorrow’s a new chance. I’d spell laugh. :D

  33. 33
    Valerie says:

    I would definitely like to spell our last name Stell. I’ve been looking for something to hange over the tv and I think this would look great.

    Thanks for the giveaway. I’m off to vote for your blog!

  34. 34
    everydayMOM says:

    Those are cool! I would go with FAMILY.

  35. 35
    ~Carole says:

    What a clever idea! I think I’d spell, “mudroom.” So many options, it’s hard to pick just one.

  36. 36
    slip4 says:

    What a great shop! After perusing it, I would pick either “Family” or “Richmond” (our city).

  37. 37
    Greta says:

    These would make great Father’s Day gifts for my husband or my father. I would probably choose “dad” or “family”.

  38. 38

    Welcome, family, VanderPloeg

    hard to say…I’ll really have to give it some thought!!

  39. 39
    MYSUESTORIES says:

    H O M E . That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?

  40. 40
    Southerner says:

    I would spell our last name.

  41. 41
    Angela says:

    love this! what an awesome idea! I love the one that spells JOY. I think joy is one of the biggest foundations for enjoying life, and if not to enjoy it, then what else is there? If I had to decide on what I would do with the letters (if not choosing one that is already made) I would choose my son’s name, we don’t have anything with his name on it!

  42. 42
    Dusty says:

    Those are ridiculously awesome! What a great giveaway!

  43. 43
    midwestmom3 says:

    ~*Michelle*~ says:

    I would go with GOD and probably family or my last name.

    Great giveaway!

  46. 46
    Jen says:

    What great art pieces. If I were to have one done I would have it read FAMILY TREE and display it with our family photos in the hallway. My kids call it the family tree because we’ve got as far back as their great-great-great grandparents displayed (and our last name is Wood so it all goes together).

  47. 47
    JanMary says:

    Gotta love Etsy!

    This is a wonderful idea, and great giveaway.

    I would chose WELCOME for our holiday cottage.

  48. 48
    Sara says:

    I sign all my correspondence (well, most of it anyway) with the closing word “Peace”. So that one seems fitting. Great store. Thanks for sharing it!
    Love your blog!
    Peace,
    Sara

  49. 49

    What a cool concept! I think it would be fun to see the word “Home” or “Love” or “Faith” spelled out.

  50. 50
    Jen Goble says:

    I’d get the FAMILY letters. It would look amazing with the collection of family photos on my dining room wall.

  51. 51
    kp says:

  52. 52
    Sara says:

    I would pick Joy. What a clever Etsy shop!

  53. 53
    HoodMama says:

    Love it! I would pick our zip code for my husband’s office. It’s random but special to him.

  54. 54

    What a fun idea! I think I would either spell our last name or the word FAMILY. or perhaps in the kids room (since all 3 are bunking together these days) I’d write: Friends… hmmmm the possibilities are endless!!

  55. 55
    Rebecca says:

    I think I would go with the DAD collage. My husband has some black and white photos in his office and this would work well together.

  56. 56

    I’ve always thought these were SO, SO cool! What a great giveaway!

    Suzanne

  57. 57
    Jeanette says:

    This would be perfect for my kitchen! “Hope” would probably be a good one for that wall :} That is what my family has always got when I’m cookin’.

    Hugs!

  58. 58
    Maddy says:

    I love this idea. It reminds me of a picture alphabet book that my children used to adore.
    Cheers

    Well, as you know, “Welch” would work for us, too. But, I think I would pick “family.”

    Chasity says:

    I think I’m tied between spelling our last name or Family, although, upon visiting I happened to fall in love with the hand knitted creamsicle scarf that’s also listed. I love that color.

    Beth S. says:

    I’d love to have this to hang over my doorway…WELCOME!

    FYI…we took photos of all the kids and grandkids holding letters in different creative ways and put them together on a posterboard for my Dad for his birthday, Spelling out Happy Birthday Pappy! (what our kids call Grandpa). We had just enough people to each have our own letter and then made his beloved dog the exclamation mark. Some examples are: My daughter hung upside down on the trapeeze with her letter, my son (who was being potty trained at the time) sat on the toilet with his letter (which just happened to be the letter P…my Dad loves that type of crazy humor) and another one held their letter up at the swimming pool while in the water (with goggles, none the less). It made a great “card” and he loved showing it off at work. Just thought you might like this idea and you might find a way to add your own crafty spin on it!
