Picket Fence Halloween Countdown

 While visiting Pinterest a few weeks ago I came across a wooden countdown  sign using this saying .. I love this saying as it is one of my favorite cross stitch pieces ! It was one of those phantom pins that lead to nowhere so I came up with my own version !

 We went to the Home Depot and bought 5 pieces of picket fence and had an employee cut 2 boards to attach them together. My daughter and I actually built this :) We then tried spray painting it but it wasn't covering good enough so we painted it off white.

It sat in the garage for a couple weeks before I had the guts to paint it. I just free handed the words. I used pencil to get everything where I wanted it then just painted away. I added a thrifted silver tray that I painted with chalkboard paint to use for the countdown.

 I added black and white check burlap ribbon to the top, a little banner from black and orange fabrics, and The little wood beware sign. I love it ! It looks fabulous on my front porch with my #spookyspaces wreath for Joann Fabrics !

 We are ready for all the Trick or Treaters to come ! And you can bet I have a Christmas version running around in my head :)

 Thanks for stopping by and your nice comments !
